Magnet Has anyone had trouble with the ipad going into sleep mode when you fold the cover "behind" the ipad to read or surf, for example?

Maybe the magnets are out of line. My cover hasn't ever given me any problems. Maybe you can exchange it for another one that works better. Good luck!

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.

it's a design flaw the magnet is in the MIDDLE section of the cover and so switches it off when you fold it back and it contacts the BACK of the kindle. (this should only happen when it is closed and touches the front of the kindle) . Mine cover does it too and I'm sending it back. I do not know if they have fixed this issue maybe a weaker magnet or having it placed in another section would fix the issue (but that would involve a redesign).

Yes when you close the cover the ipad goes off as if you pressed the lock button and the screen turns right back on when you open the cover

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboard separate from the I-pad, and when I want to use the keyboard I just turn it on. When I just want to read, I fold the keyboard back out of the way behind the pad. I believe the covers were made to leave on. Bonnie

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.

Screen shuts off when you close cover, magnetically. To stay closed, do a hard shut down: hold power button @ top of device for a few seconds til apple logo appears. It shuts down & open/close cover will not affect til you press power button again. You can close cover & it'll sleep over night without losing battery life.

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.

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.

Gravity keeps the cover closed. You really have to break in the cover to make it close fully though. The magnet is to wake and sleep the screen when you open and close the cover.

Actually, I'm not sure the tablet supports this feature. It is not magnetic, and many devices that support sleep/wake when cover is closed utilize a magnet to activate a switch. I found a setting on this tablet under power management to "Enable TransCover", but I can't tell what it does, because the screen doesn't seem to do anything when I close the cover of this case. But it's not a big deal to me because I have my device set to turn-off the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity anyway, plus, a quick touch of the power switch turns the screen off without shutting down the device. (Another quick touch on the power switch lights up the screen in a second.) So in short, if the MeMO Pad FHD 10 (ME302C) tablet supports this feature, and if mine is working properly, then this case does not support this function.

The magnets on the Ipad hold the cover on but it does NOT have a latch or anything to keep the two sides together. As long as it is laying flat or you are hold it, no problem. I do love the keyboard!!

The back cover does not have any magnets embedded, so when folded open the front cover flaps unless held.This is not a big issue in terms of actual use since the device's size is so small, I naturally hold it closed, and adding magnets seems even a bit superfluous.

Correct. When the keyboard is in place, the magnetized part of the folio cover cannot physically contact the iPad so the iPad is not put to sleep. When the keyboard is removed, then the magnetized section of the folio cover can touch the iPad, and the iPad's sleep function works. This is a normal function for the folio cover; it is not a defect.

be sure you do not power off before closing the cover. the device will go into sleep mode and is awakened by opening the cover.

Hi. The Belkin Cinema Leather Folio Case has the Auto Wake magnet feature where in you can shut on/off the iPad when opened/closed. From the Home screen tap 'Settings'. This should automatically open up in the "General" options, but if not simply tap "General" in the left hand side options, navigate in the 4th block of General options, then you will see "iPad Cover Lock/Unlock" option. If this is set to "Off" it means that the Sleep / Wake function has been disabled. Simple slide this across into the "On" position to activate. Press the Home button to return.
