Is this case supposed to put the ipad to sleep when closed? I've used it for a few days now and i don't think it does.. ??

No it doesn't, it's sadly cheap. It probably was originally supposed to, but the magnets are so weak they don't really go anything. Sorry

It's a great case though, and it does work, if the keyboard is removed. With the keyboard it will set siri off occasionally

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 it does fit the regular iPad mini but I would suggest a very good screen protector for it. The closure is pretty secure on mine and hasn't failed me yet so, for now, yes it definitely prevents it from falling out. For the regular ipad mini I would suggest standing it up if you plan on using it as an alarm because if you don't the snooze function is gone for some odd reason when it's closed. The wake/sleep function I honestly have no clue what that is so I apologize if I'm not able to answer that particular question.

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.

sleep function works.. but this model is poor fit for ipad fourth gen. you will struggle locking/unlocking the cover.. might well get a decent workout shoving and pulling the cover. I have stopped closing the cover frequently as i am concerned about damaging the ipad with the pressure applied to close/open cover.

I don't think the case itself has a sleep/wake function but the tablet and the keyboard dock does. So when you close the tablet/keyboard together it while it's in the case then yes. But just the tablet with just the top half of the case I'm not sure.

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 haven't noticed this case draining my battery when closed at all. In fact it actually puts my iPad in automatic sleep mode when I close it.

When you close the case & the ipad is powered on, it will go to sleep. So when you open the case it awakens from sleep mode. To shut off the ipad completely press down on black button on the top right of the device. This also powers it back on.

No it doesn't. You have to manual still turn your iPad off! By far my favorite case to date.

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.

No this case has a front and back to it and covers the whole thing. The originals just covered the front. It does put the iPad to sleep when covered and it can become a stand and is multi -positional.

It suits and work perfectly on model A1489" (that is the model of my iPad), and if you are asking about that if the ipad come into sleep/awake mode when you open/close the cover of the case the answer is yes and works fine, but you need to enable this function on settings.

Yes, it "wakes" the iPad when opened, and puts it to sleep when you close the case.

I returned this case. It was defective because the magnet was too strong and it kept turning off my IPAD with the cover open. They did not cover return shipping either. Really annoying. I think it snapped into the case but I would not buy this if I were you. The Fintie makes a good case. That's what I ended up with and I love it. Good Luck!

No it doesn't. The magnet is towards the screen. It will not put the phone to sleep regardless. But beware even the authentic covers magnet does NOT attract to the phones. The flap needs to adjust to the screen and will hopefully eventually close. However I took my case off. They stain easily and they are annoying when you want to change the case and you don't have the original back.

No it doesn't. Here is a reply I received from Belkin support. "The sleep/wake function is a setting on the iPad itself. You have the option to select or specify the time when your iPad will go to sleep when you close the cover." I have the Belkin keyboard case for the iPad 3 and when I close the case, the iPad goes to "sleep". As far as I can tell, this feature is NOT part of the Qode case for the iPad Air.
