Apple has changed the design on the Smart Cover function. This case currently does not support that function.

Yes, it has the feature. My case does auto sleep/wake on my iPad2. Bought mine in Aug from Amazon.

Check the settings/general on your ipad. Sleep mode has nothing to do with the case.

Closing the cover on this puts the iPad to sleep. You don't have to hit the power button to put it to sleep. And opening the cover wakes your iPad up. So with this cover you really never need to use the power button unless you are wanting to shut your iPad down completely.

No sure if any case comes with auto wake/ sleep. This is a great case for kids that protect the iPad well and it also looks great. On a flat surface it works well as far as propping up the iPad.

I just received my case today and the auto wake/sleep function on the case is not working. Any help on this matter please?

Hi Henry...if you mean does it turn the iPad off when you close the case and turns it on when you open the case, then "yes!"

Yes. When you shut the case it automatically puts your ipad mini in "sleep" mode and when you open the case it comes on. This saves your battery.

I am considering buying this, and I had my iPad Air attached to a friend's folio keyboard last night. As far as I could tell, the sleep function seems to function the way it's supposed to. The only times it didn't work were when I didn't have the 2 'upper' corners of the iPad clipped in to the folio correctly. Once it was clipped in, the iPad screen remained dimmed. I tested this repeatedly, and was looking into the gap between the keyboard and the screen to verify it stayed dark, and that it lit again when I separated the keyboard from the iPad screen.

I don't know because I bought one to fit my ipad 2&3 and the sleep function works great! If they make one to fit the iPad Air,it will probably be of the same excellent engineering and standards as the regular ipad,which was my experience,but to be sure,go to their website and see if they do make one and read the specs and reviews if they have any! Good luck.

Todd, I was reading some of the "newest first" reviews and it looks like the magnet that puts the iPad to sleep does not work with this case. Are you able to confirm that? I'm expecting my new iPad to be delivered on Monday the 20th and I'm still trying to make a decision on some of the cases available.

The case does not turn off the screen. I found this official tweet:@BelkinCares Does the QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case (F5L151ttBLK) turn off the iPad Air screen automatically when the case is closed? - 17 JanBelkinCares:@water604 Hi. This doesn't have that feature. However, it has a lot of other features. Check here: bit.ly/HLJpdL 05:21 PM - 17 Jan 14

There isnt a wake/sleep function on the key board neither is there any mention in the user guide (a single sheet of paper). There is however an on and off switch. I would imagine there is a sleep function as if you stop typing for several minutes when you resume the first two or three letter will not show up but tapping any key and wait a second or two it will work fine. Whats bugging me with this case is that the lens opening at the back of the case is not large enoughand each time I get ready to take a photo the lens is partially covered by the case; this requires a push off the tablet to reposition the opening.

CaseCrown Bold Standby Case for Apple iPad 2 / iPad 3 / The new iPad - Black The magnets do not work on my case does not shut the unit off an does not wake it up. Have tried changing the position on the IPad but can't get it to work.

Yes it does. You will lose the ability to turn ur ipad on and off with a cover. In my opinion, a small price to pay and good trade off for the protection. Just replaced my, ipad after glass shattered in a fairly good case and a fall onto carpet...

No, it does not have the magnetic cover that would put the iPad to sleep. Its design covers the back and edges only, not the front. To put the iPad to sleep you have to push the power button.

Jennifer, indeed it does turn the iPad off & keeps it off until you open it again. I generally don't even take it off anymore - the more I use, the more I like.

The Otterbox cover (pink) for the Mini I pad that I purchased for my daughter does not activate the on/off wake function. Apparently, from what I understand some covers have magnets that activates the function.
