Do you mean make the tablet sleep? The power and volume buttons remain uncovered even when the case is closed.

When I was searching for a cover, I read some reviews that talked about that happening, but I've never had it happen to me, and I read more than the average person probably does." If you don't close the cover, it will eventually turn off, but it's just a matter of pressing the button like on the original kindle, to turn it back on. Otherwise, you close the cover, it goes to sleep. Open the cover, it wakes.

Once you close it and put the strap on it it locks it and it goes into sleep mode.

I downloaded an app from the App Store to put it to sleep off on wake. Hope that helps

It will put the nook in sleep mode when the cover is closed and will turn on when the cover is opened.

To be honest, I'm too sure. I always make sure to turn off my screen before I close the case up. I know you have to go into you settings and accessories to turn on that feature but I don't think this product triggers auto sleep.

Yes it goes to sleep when closed.. I'm not sure what you mean about keypad backlit? I love this product and I feel my iPad is safe and much easier to use typing instead of hen pecking... Buy it now!!!

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.

Make sure your Kindle is positioned in the case correctly. It actually goes in up side down--camera to the right. Then make sure your Kindle is unlocked so it will rotate. The sleep function should happen automatically.

We've found that letting the cover kind of flop closed on it's own aligns it better than we do. As an added measure, when it doesn't sleep, we manually align an outer corner and find that it will sleep then. Hoping after some use it will remember the position we like it in better.

No, it can't It does have a sleep timer that will automatically shut off if you want to set it for when you think you will fall asleep.

Yes, the screen will go dark when cover shuts. You hear a little click, like a camera shutter. When you open, you simply press the button and it wakes up.

Just keep it a dark place such as your wardrobe. It will always get into a complete sleep mode in less than 15 seconds.

I'm not exactly sure of the technicalities, but when you close the cover it's supposed to turn off the screen and put the kindle to sleep to save battery life. And then when you open it back up, it supposed to turn the screen back on. Mine doesn't work either. They definitely shouldn't be advertising as "auto sleep/wake" if it actually doesn't do it.

All you have to do is press the switch once the cover is closed and it will turn on. Hit it again and it will turn off. The closed cover doubles as a switch as well. I really recommend this product. I have it and it has been working great.

You are correct - it goes into Sleep Mode when closed and wakes up when opened.
