Should this case automatically shut off the ipad when closed? Mine doesn't.

It CAN shut off but the iPad settings must be set to do that. Settings - Lock/Unlock has to be ON.

Hi. The Belkin Cinema Leather Folio Case has the Auto Wake magnet feature where in you can shut on/off the iPad when opened/closed. From the Home screen tap 'Settings'. This should automatically open up in the "General" options, but if not simply tap "General" in the left hand side options, navigate in the 4th block of General options, then you will see "iPad Cover Lock/Unlock" option. If this is set to "Off" it means that the Sleep / Wake function has been disabled. Simple slide this across into the "On" position to activate. Press the Home button to return. If you need further assistance, email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com. Hi. The Belkin Cinema Leather Folio Case has the Auto Wake magnet feature where in you can shut on/off the iPad when opened/closed.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

Mine doesn't either but when not in use the I-Pad goes into what I call seep mode!

I unfortunately have the same problem. I ran a magnet over the entire case and there is not a magnet in the case anywhere (that's what is needed to put the iPad into sleep mode when closed). You could always send it back as it is defective.

I personally have never experienced this problem. My iPad goes to "sleep" every time the cover is closed with this companion case on. I've really enjoyed this case and have not experienced any difficulty while using it.

The case shuts off the screen when closed and turns it on when it is opened. If you use a password, you will have to enter it when you open the case.

It does not turn off when separated (disconnected) from the ipad. It does go asleep after a period of non use.

Yes. When you shut the case it automatically puts your ipad mini in "sleep" mode and when you open the case it comes on. This saves your battery.

I have two of these and haven't experienced any shutting off unexpectedly. Possibly a defective unit? You can try it on other devices to rule out if it's just the unit itself or your phone.

Correction - The case is NOT an auto-shut case. I forgot the "NOT" in my response yesterday.

Yes, closing the case makes te Nexus turn off, but not all the way down. The screen goes black and lights up as soon as you reopen it.

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

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.

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....

I just bought this case in black and it does turn off the IPAD when closed. There may be some different productions of this case. But I have noticed that the magnets do in fact turn off the IPAD as it is suppose to do.

I switched out the white case for the black one and I'm having the same problem. The white case worked fine but the black case does not turn off the ipad.

Yes when you close the cover the ipad goes off as if you pressed the lock button and the screen turns right back on when you open the cover

No it doesn't however I never have the issue because I always close it. It's really easy to remember to close. Sorry hopefully that helps. I do love the case by the way

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.
