Will the wake/sleep magnet work on the iPad 3?

Anthony you must order the correct version that specifies Ipad3 or it isn't going to work. Mine is for the iPad Air and it works fine.

That is a great question, and it is something I hadn't thought to check. So, after comparing the directional sensor reading both in and out of the case. and then checking the reading on my nexus 7, I can say that no, the wake/sleep magnet does not effect the GPS. Also since GPS uses RF to get data, not magnetic fields, it is very unlikely that any sort of magnet would effect the GPS operation of your phone.

I'm sorry I haven't tried it on an iPad 3, but I have tried it on and I touch, galaxy s4 and a samsung tablet and it works perfectly on all of them.

No. FYI, I am not using mine because it kept constant pressure on the sleep/on button making the iPad unusable.

No, the ipad air will not fit this case because it is thinner and smaller. Make sure you get one that is designed for the ipad air because the magnet arrangement are also different. My ipad 3 case did NOT have a magnet (quality issue), so I suggest you buy yours from a store and try out the auto sleep function before you leave.

It is advertised as having the wake/sleep function but it doesn't. You can glue a small magnet on the lower lip to make it work. See further discussion and an explanation on how to make it work with the wake/sleep mode. http://www.amazon.com/review/RMXSVQEO8RYI7/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg3?ie=UTF8&asin;=B005Y1CYSQ&cdForum;=Fx10EBJ5CNQW6PH&cdPage;=3&cdThread;=TxEIJBTW355CRI&store;=electronics#wasThisHelpful

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

As far as I know, the only magnetic portion is the hinge that clips to the iPad. It doesn't hold the iPad closed.

Yes, the front cover is magnetic, making it "smart". Once it touches the screen it sleeps and opening it wakes up the Mini.

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

I have the third generation iPad. The case fits very well and is sturdy and works with the third generation connector. However, the magnetic off function has never worked on mine and sometimes, even after I have turned the iPad off, it is on when I open the cover. I bought mine several months ago, so don't know if they have fixed this.

Yes, I am using it with an iPad 2 and the sleep/wake function works for me.

The cover has a magnetic cover, which will close or turn off the ipad when it shuts, and turn it on when the cover is opened. By turning off and on, I mean more like putting it to sleep/waking it up. It does not shut it completely down. I think this is a very handy feature to have in an ipad cover. And I love this ipad cover.

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.

Yes. When you open or close it, the ipad will respond accordingly by going to sleep or waking up. It doesn't do a full power cycle but I'm sure that's not what you were asking.

Yes it fits perfectly. But the magnetic sleep / awake function causes the ipad to come on and off when it's closed as it moves a little bit inside your purse. I still have mine on it, I just have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't run battery down.

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.
