Has anyone else had a problem with the iPad not hibernating when you close the case? Mine will not shut off like my old one did upon closing.

No, mine works perfectly. You could always just hit the lock button in the upper right corner then close it.
247291
No I haven't. Mine shuts off as soon as I close it. In fact it makes the click sound that tells me it's off.
247292
Doesn't seem to be a problem. I even hear a sound indicating that it's switching off.
247293
Yes, I had that problem too. But I don't think it's supposed to have that feature necessarily

I've noticed that it depends on which way you have your iPad rotated. Someone else mentioned that in the comments as well. Mine will turn off if the button is on the right, but not if it's on the left.

Same problem for me. Will not shut off and the lock on the case does not work. Very disappointing for an otherwise nice product. There does not seem to be any support from the manufacturer.

Yes, my ipad too does not hibernate when this case is closed. I always press the sleep button before closing it.

I had the same problem, and then discovered that it depends upon the screen orientation. If the home button on the iPad is on the right side, in Landscape mode, then when you close the case the iPad will go into hibernation mode. If the home button is on the left side, it will not. Hope this helps.

Yes, when you close the lid, the IPAD turns off. You will need to reenter your password etc.

No, not in my case (ah situation no pun intended)...my opinion is based on the fact I got a ZAGG case for my wife's iPad and its working just fine...BUT my MINI case keys stick and I can't use it anymore... so its sitting on my shelf waiting for me to junk it or send it back to the factory...yes I admit to laziness, but why are the keys sticking? Did I drop it or did I

After I email Sharkk, they ask me to shut down and restart the ipad. I guess this must have fix it for some people but it didn't work for me. I'm not aware of any fix to this problem but I know from talking to Sharkk guest service that they are working on solving this issue. The guest service person was very professional and polite, so I suggest you contact them about this problem also.

Hello Nick and thank you for your interest in our product unfortunately this specific unit does not allow access to the sleep button while the IPad is in the enclosure. I do apologize for any inconvenience and as always do feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

Dear Kim it seems that my first answer to you was in fact wrong they should have a turn off. However neither of mine has worked for some reason, but they are very good covers hence I have two sorry about that,my answer was right as I experienced, but wrong as far as the cover should turn your IPad off

I am experiencing the same thing but, sadly, I have not found a work around other than to restart my iPad and re-sync the keyboard. Thankfully, both happen pretty quickly so I don't see it as that big an inconvenience.

Did not happen to me, but my gut would say you did not put on the case properly. My first instinct would be to take it apart, then make sure your external slider matches up with the mute/ lock button, then put it back on carefully. If that does not do it probably send it back as it may be a faulty case. (make sure ipad is not faulty as well).

Zagg has dissapointed me with their qualiity. Nonetheless performan a shutdown of your iPad by holding down the screen button and off/on button on the side of the machine. Hold them both down unitil it shuts down. Wait 30 seconds and restart with the off/on button. No guarantees it will work for you but it has for me.

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

Mine was giving me trouble. I disconected the keyboard and turned off the iPad and back on and reconnected and it worked again.

I have to say I'm not experiencing the same problem. in fact I see my mini blanking out as I close the case. as far as battery life - I can't believe how long my battery lasts - certainly a big improvement from my Ipad. as far as the case turning the mini on and off it could be the way it is sitting in your purse. try putting it in with the opening to the bottom - that way it probably won't open so often. worth a shot. personally I really like this case - it is sturdy.

This is a Smart Cover, so by default, your iPad should sleep when the cover closes and wake when it opens. You can turn off this Smart Cover feature so that the power button handles sleep/wake again. In the Settings app, go to General, scroll down and flip the "Lock/Unlock" switch. I found this YouTube video that shows how: http://youtu.be/RnD8GOzrAM0

I unfortunately have the same problem. I ran a magnet over the entire case and there is not a magnet in the case anywhere (that's what is needed to put the iPad into sleep mode when closed). You could always send it back as it is defective.

Yes it does shut off when the cover is closed. I'm very happy wth this case. Fits the iPad very snug and looks great. Highly recommend this case.

I can confirm that the white case bought a week ago DOES turn the iPad on/off. Either there are some issues with the black ones or perhaps all of the cases have been 'upgraded' with the feature at some point of production. Make sure to get one manufactured recently if you can!

It does not turn off when separated (disconnected) from the ipad. It does go asleep after a period of non use.
