Did you fully charge it overnight before attempting to charge your kindle? Odd that it doesn't charge your Kindle. Is it drained afterwards or is there still juice in the battery to charge another device after it stops? IIRC, the 3-4blue lights on top are the charge-capacity indicators

it has a strap to wrap around the case and kindle,i never use it but i guess i would if i was going to travel.people say a magnet keeps it closed but thats not true.the magnet is to put the kindle to sleep.

First off, yes it does but the Kindle will time-out and go back to sleep if it was accidentally awoken from movement of the top of the case. What I did was get some of the adhesive vel-cro from WalMart or a similar store (should be in either the hardware section or the arts and crafts) and place a small strip in between the magnets, making sure not to cover them, or the vel-cro being too think so the magnets are unable to put the Kindle to sleep. Hope this helps, happy reading!

Yes, it makes a click when turning on and off. Unfortunately they all do (all 3 that I have used so far). The click is about as loud as an electronic cigarette lighter behind the cover.

Nope. It is a bit small and both volume and the power plug in are covered. I assume we have the same Kindle. I just got mine and the box says Kindle fire HD. Is that generation 2? If so keep looking

Closing the cover will deactivatethe screen momentarily but will not completely turn off your tablet if it is on. You can only accomplish this with the tablet on-off switch.

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.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and I've noticed when I close cover the light stays on for a short time and then turns off when the Kindle goes to sleep. If you turn the Kindle with the closed cover to the side, you will be able to see the light go out.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

This case will not turn off the Kindle when bent back for one-handed reading. Full stop.If the Kindle senses that you have not turned the page in a while, it will shut off automatically in order to conserve the battery.

I never had this problem until the past month or two. It's not the cover, because it does it when the cover is off. I think it's the Kindle. Maybe it is slower in loading data? If I touch the screen and wait a minute it goes ahead and opens.

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

My light usually turns off quickly after closing the cover -- this can be seen by laying the Kindle flat and looking in from the bottom edge. However, if I have opened and closed the cover several times in quick succession, the light will stay on a bit longer before turning off. If your light is not turning off at all, then the cover is not doing its job. But it shouldn't be a problem because the Kindle goes to sleep on its own after a short period of time of not being used -- you can check this by leaving the cover open. The benefit of the cover is that it puts the Kindle to sleep immediately rather than waiting for it to go to sleep on its own.

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.

no,if nook is in bed when you fall asleep ,you crush nook screen when you wake up sitting on nook next morning. happens sooner or later,but happens 4 sure. otherwise it was a good e reader until i woke up sitting on it. then it became a high priced piece of junk.

If you are talking about when using the Kindle and you close the cover without using the on/off button then Yes it does. If you close the cover it will put it in sleep mode and then once you ope the cover again it wakes up and you just have to slide the unlock.
