It has a magnet built into the rear of the case, which turns off the screen when you holster the phone.

No it does not turn off the tablet. The brand that does that is from I-Blason.

Yes, you can turn off the screen while audio plays. Also, you can stream video to a compatible phone or tablet and keep the screen off as well.

It has a cut out for the speaker and camera but the proximity sensor works 100%. I've had no problems with the proximity sensor

You can talk with the cover closed, HOWEVER you want to make sure to turn the screen off before closing the cover or risk random screen touches that hang up, mute or something worse.

How do you hide the touchscreen turn-off display button. When the off button is displayed on the screen and you accidentally brush against it I turns the touch screen back on and you take many unwanted pics as you keep brushing against the now turned back on screen

You can turn it on/off pushing the cover below the display. This will not affect the programming

I am not sure what is proximity sensor. There are only two hole were cut. Not one to the left. I hope this would help you .

It doesn't turn off but it does lock the screen so the screen isn't lit up saving you battery life

Yes, you can turn the sound off. Just hit the sound button once to turn off, then again to turn it back on. Don't feel bad, I can't see the screen on mine unless I slant it in a downward position away from me and that is very awkward, so I don't play with it anymore. I chalk it up to experience!

Unfortunately, no. It has two magnets to keep the cover closed, it does not, however, activate the automatic screen turn off.

I don't mean to contradict the other answers, and yes the screen is connected to the front. Bit if I really epwanted it off, I would pop it off. :)

yes, the screen will go off with a quick press of the power button and if the button is held longer, the entire system will power down. had it for over 18 months and it is still going strong!

you can set it for a blank screen...so it would appear to be turned off, which is sufficient for me
