My iPad does not turn on & off when closing the cover on my snugg

What generation iPad do you have? You may not have the cover that is compatible with the version pad you have. Also, as the cover ages on occasions it tends to close away from the magnets that control the on/off. I listen for the off click. If I do not hear it I slide cover to line it up with the iPad and hear the click. This does not happen often. Also check settings as others have suggested. I have two pads generation 2 and the latest Air iPad and the cover works well on both.

It will be put on stand by, not exactly shut off. When you open the cover, the iPad wakes up.

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.

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

I'm having the same problem with the one I just bought. The auto-shutoff function kicks in when magnets in the case align with sensors on the iPad; I'm wondering if the ones in our cases are misaligned or just too weak to trip the sensor. I found that if I hold the case tight against the iPad and wiggle it around a bit I can get it to trip occasionally. There is a setting under "General" to turn the feature on and off, but it won't even show unless you've successfully tripped the cover sensors at least once.I'd debating whether it's worth exchanging the case for a new one.

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

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.

I wondered the same thing when I bought it. I was disappointed to find that it does not put the iPad in sleep mode. But other models similar to it do.

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!"

Sorry to hear about that . I would return the case to Amazon. I have the same case and auto on/off feature works just fine. When I have my kindle in the easel or standard book position, it doesnt shut down. I think you have a misaligned magnet.

It CAN shut off but the iPad settings must be set to do that. Settings - Lock/Unlock has to be ON.

Hi Brianne...the iPad does turn off, but if you move it slightly like to put it in a bag or your purse it may turn back on. The case just does not seem to close properly...several times I have put my iPad in my bag and later found that the battery was dead because it turned back on dur to the case opening. Now I just turn it completely off when I'm not using it...which is frustrating. I really do not recommend this case.

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.

Just the front which is the important part you want to protect because of the expensive glass. It's a magnetic cover that automatically attached and when you open it, the iPad turns on. When you close the cover, the iPad goes off (sleep). Hope this answers your question.

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

Shutting the cover does not turn off the device. That is based on your settings which were designated by you. It is based on inactivity of device.

I bought this case for my step-son as a Christmas gift. When the flap is closed your ipad automatically goes to sleep so the power will "drain" very, very slowly if at all. I haven't heard any complaints from him as yet.
