I took my kindle out of the cover and checked it out, nothing happened. I put it back in the cover and it started working so I still have no clue what happened. sorry I am no help.

This has happened to me about 6 times in two years... but I don't know why! I just 'slap' the cover closed & when I re-open it, the problem is solved!! Presto magic-O!

The only time it happened to me was when the battery was depleted and I didn't know it.

I never had this problem until the past month or two. It's not the cover, because it does it when the cover is off. I think it's the Kindle. Maybe it is slower in loading data? If I touch the screen and wait a minute it goes ahead and opens.

be sure you do not power off before closing the cover. the device will go into sleep mode and is awakened by opening the cover.

I've experienced the same situation with mine, but the issue resolves upon closing my cover and waiting a second or two before opening it again. I think it's more of a glitch with the Kindle itself, rather than the cover. Sometimes, my Paperwhite will come on as it should, but the backlight doesn't function. In that situation, I have selected the brightness function from the top toolbar, and toggled the brightness selection level either up or down, and then the backlight works properly again. Another option is to power down your Kindle and then restart, and/or check for software updates. Good luck! Hope that helps.

This one does not fit, I have 3 kindles and I had a hard time trying to fit them all, if it is a new use the Paperwhite and you should be ok, I had to send one back because it was nice t right, but it was for the keyboard kindle,! But it was reel easy to send it back!

There is a little tab on the front of mine which catches when you close the cover. Hope this helps.

The light should go off in a few seconds. Make certain the cover is fully across the kindle and that the magnets are in place. If the problem persists try pressing the start button for about 30 seconds so that the kindle starts reloading. After the reload is complete open the case cover and unlock the kindle. Close the cover and the light should go off after a few seconds. If the light does not go off contact Kindle Customer Service.

You should just have to open cover and your kindle will turn on when you close cover it will shut down and go onto sleep mode also you can get in your kindle and set how long before your kindle goes to sleep like 2 minutes and so on hope this helps you pk

Try slowly pulling up the corner on the bottom of the kindle. It should pull away from the protector. Then pull it off. This happened to me the first time I install the protector. Once you get the corner up it will come off easy. I did have to tabs but pulled it off accidentally when installing.

I think that the cover should fit the new paperwhite, I compared the published sizes and the only difference was in the weight - 7.5oz. for previous version and 7.3 oz. for the new version. I use the cover all the time.

I've had my Kindle 2 for about a month, I preordered it, and yes, I LOVE IT. However, I have not noticed this problem and just checked myKindle 2, and cannot see any evidence of previous screens, no matter how I try. Maybe an issue with yours? I can't even seem to make it happen.

Just a guy,Thanks...that helps me decide what to do. I checked again...to see if maybe I was going crazy...and I definitely 'see' previous screens after leaving them....sounds like a call to Kindle Support! As long as they don't take my Kindle without getting me a replacement FIRST! : )Thanks again

I really like mine. It will stand up on its own and offers substantial protection. It does not turn off the screen on my paperwhite though.

When you need to remove the case, please push on the upper right and bottom right corner of the case while it is open. Push on both corners at the same time. (Don't push the Kindle, push the cover!)...This is the answer to me from the Omoton company. It worked.

Make sure Kindle is off. Take back off. Tiny hole about midway marked reset. Just above battery and to the left. I use end of paper clip and push. you can tell when it gives a little. Does not take a lot of pressure. Hope this helps.

There is a reset button on the bottom of the cover. You can use a paperclip to reset.

Don't own the PaperWhite, have the orig. Kindle which is quite smaller then the IPad which fit very tight.

Your kindle turns off when you close the cover and turns on when you open it.
