There is a setting on your iPad that you can select .. when you close the case it will turn it off or take it to the locked screen ... I hope this helps you .

Hmmmm.. I'm not sure why that is happening. Sounds like an issue with the iPad and not the case. The materials do not make contact with the power buttons. I hope it gets fixed.

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.

I have to say I'm not experiencing the same problem. in fact I see my mini blanking out as I close the case. as far as battery life - I can't believe how long my battery lasts - certainly a big improvement from my Ipad. as far as the case turning the mini on and off it could be the way it is sitting in your purse. try putting it in with the opening to the bottom - that way it probably won't open so often. worth a shot. personally I really like this case - it is sturdy.

I always remember to loosen the battery compartment for storage. That way it doesn't drain your battery.

When the key board is in the on position it will drain the battery very quickly if not in use turn blue tooth off on ipad the key board holds a charge for a long time but good idea to turn that off as well, when not in use. Don't know about your other case.

I've done both and never had a problem. I usually charge with the switch on and the case closed till I need it again.

h! there is a cable hanging loose, right? try plugging it to your tablet on the side: that's all it takes! no turn on/off needed. so to not run my batteries i unplug it when not in use

The First Obvious Question Is charged? If u have a case protector that is really snug it's probably pushing down the volume buttons and that will prevent it from turning on. If that doesn't work then idk I would think it's broken or the battery isn't holding the charge. Good luck.

If the case is charged then the silver power button at the bottom should turn it on. If not, the device might be broken.

I turn it off when it is my bag, but if you are leaving it sit somewhere it will turn itself off without the switch.

I have had the same problem. It seems the only solution is to remove the battery when not in use.

You need to take off the belt clip by pressing the tab and pull it downward. Use your thumb and push down the battery cover.

Install the battery the correct direction. The case will light up when the battery is installed correctly. Snap the case over your origional phone. My experience is that the case lights all the time, when charging, when the phone is on, when it rings or a text message OR when it wants to. My battery lasted only 3 days, the case is now in my drawer ((

I just verified to see if it shuts it off and it does not. I normally leave my cover folded back with latch in place to keep the cover from moving. I only put the cover on when I am taking it on the go. I have been happy with the case. I wanted a slim design case that covers back and the sides from any scuff marks and be black so it doesn't show dirt. This case fulfilled what I was looking for.

I only turn it on when my phone needs to be recharged. I bet it would cause a problem to leave the case on 24/7

Have you checked the battery? I had the same problem because I left it on when I put it away, two times :(

I am starting to have problems too, my computer is getting over heated and shuts down. As to your case, how long have you left it on the charger without usage?

This has not happened to me. The only time it has shut off is when the battery is dead.

If you haven't try manually disconnecting your bluetooth connection to your phone -- both phone and media. That worked for me immediately when my blue light stayed on and I could not shut off the speaker. Otherwise, I was going to let the battery run out completely so that it would shut off.
