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?

yes I had that issue if I put it on my desk which is a non flamable metal material

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!

Great question, yes I would say this has happened to me. However it's usually when I don't apply the strap around the cover to keep it secured. Sometimes when i just sit it upright against a wall, it would not auto sleep, but overall it does not seem like an issue. Still it's a great cover for the price, and the quality is good.

Yes, I have my IPad in an Apple cover which I leave on all of the time, even on the stand. I use mine mainly in the horizontal position (not as shown in the picture).

No. It remains on/awake when you close the cover. You must activate the sleep mode manually by pressing the button on the side of the Nook.

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.

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.

As posted above, the fit is perfect. However, the sleep function does not work. Sadly I'll be returning it until they fix the issue. The quality of the cover is amazing and I can say I was very happy using it on my iPad2.

No. Why would it? The official kindle case from Amazon also uses magnets to help keep it closed and that's how the auto sleep/wake function works....

My iPad works great with my cover on it. I just fold it back behind on the stand, also my cover can easily be taken off. I have used it both ways without a problem. Hope this answers your question.

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!

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.

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.

Typically, I manually sleep my pad before closing the case. However if I neglect to do so sometimes it will turn siri on but it does not happen frequently enough for me to labe it a problem. Again, I usually put it in sleep mode anyway which can be considered a resolution.

Nope, the magnets don't hold the cover to the back, they only turn of my iPad

I have not purchased this particular product and do not know the answer, however, I did buy a different product that looked similar, and found that there were magnets in the top corners of the part that held the tablet in place (not the cover part), and the magnet in the top left corner kept causing my Dell Venue 11 Pro to go to "sleep", basically making the case useless. I have to decide whether to cut the magnet out or return the product. So I'll be interested to see the answer to this question. I think the manufacturer of that product that I bought put the magnet in the wrong place! They should have put the magnet in the cover, not the strap that holds the tablet!

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.
