Isn't the iPad air supposed to turn off when you close the case? Mine doesn't turn off. You have to do it manually.

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 Jan BelkinCares: @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

I switched out the white case for the black one and I'm having the same problem. The white case worked fine but the black case does not turn off the ipad.

This is all very strange. I just bought a black case, and it DOES turn my iPad air on and off when I open and shut the case. I wonder if they've fixed something?

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!

I just bought this case in black and it does turn off the IPAD when closed. There may be some different productions of this case. But I have noticed that the magnets do in fact turn off the IPAD as it is suppose to do.

Same problem with mine. The white case worked perfectly, but this black one did not. Why???

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.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though.I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

Depends on what you're saying goes to sleep... The iPad? No, haven't seen that happen just because I've closed the cover. Nor have I seen the keyboard go to sleep either.

It's not so much the cover that is a "Smart Cover" but basically when you have you're iPad in the case cover and close the case cover over the iPad l, the iPad screen turns off automatically and when you lift the cover the iPad screen turns on and automatically sends you to the password screen if you have a password.

I bought a off brand cover, but seem similar to apple cover. It comes off without taking the ipad out of the case. Hope this helps.

The device is designed for the iPad Air and if positioned properly, the sleep button and off/on switch, works just fine. Sorry. I'm of no help.

No- it does not shut off your iPad. I have one for iPad4 and one for iPad Mini and they both lack that capability.

Sometimes the case puts my iPad mini to sleep, sometimes it doesn't. I just noticed this myself and make sure I use the button just to be on the safe side. It seems when I leave the keyboard ON, in standby mode, is when it doesn't put it to sleep. Maybe I missed that when reading the instructions.

Yes, the front closes to protect the front of your iPad. It also automatically turns your device off when it closes.

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

That is not a question - It is a fact. You have to manually turn off the iPad. The 360 is a good idea, but the execution is poor.

It does NOT turn off when you close the case and that is very disappointing. The keys will touch the opposite side of the case, or the tablet, activating the keys and using battery. Also, the keys DO hit the tablet and I fear it will scar or scratch the surface of the tablet. I'll to buy a protector for the tablet today to prevent this. This should be unnecessary! But, keyboard works great.

No. It takes a min before it shuts off. Or you must manually do it. I have the iPad 2.

Yes--but it's not a total power off, it's more like a sleep function on your computer. You do have to turn it on in your iPad settings--it's called a cover lock/unlock.

It should just click off, it wont brake lol. Around the screen you should see like 4 clips almost where the case latches on to the screen, start there at each one and it should come off
