Does this also turn the Asus pad to sleep when closed? Any respond on the review about having to put in the pad upside down to access buttons? Fix?

No the memo pad has no auto off function to trigger so none of the covers turn it off. I put the pad in upside down to put the volume and off button where I prefer them.

Mine seems to work properly. You can actually see the tablet go to sleep before the cover is completely closed, if you close it slowly.

Actually, I'm not sure the tablet supports this feature. It is not magnetic, and many devices that support sleep/wake when cover is closed utilize a magnet to activate a switch. I found a setting on this tablet under power management to "Enable TransCover", but I can't tell what it does, because the screen doesn't seem to do anything when I close the cover of this case. But it's not a big deal to me because I have my device set to turn-off the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity anyway, plus, a quick touch of the power switch turns the screen off without shutting down the device. (Another quick touch on the power switch lights up the screen in a second.) So in short, if the MeMO Pad FHD 10 (ME302C) tablet supports this feature, and if mine is working properly, then this case does not support this function.

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboardseparate from the I-pad, and when I want to use the keyboard I just turn it on. When I just want to read, I fold the keyboard back out of the way behind the pad. I believe thecovers were made to leave on.Bonnie

I'm puzzled about the rave reviews regarding cool touch, too. The palm rest area on mine stays cool, but the touchpad is warm - warm enough to make it uncomfortable for me. And the first time I used it, I also experienced significant heat on the underside of the laptop on the side closest to the fan. It doesn't seem to get quite as warm now, but still warm enough that I don't want it sitting on my lap for very long. It's certainly not as cool, top or bottom, as our little Asus netbook.

No, it does not place the tablet into sleep mode when closed; if there is a setting to do this I am not aware of it, but the default settings do not do this. The tablet times out on its own. When you open the tablet you can press the space bar two times in a row to wake up the tablet.

You have to open it to turn it on. But if you just put your laptop to sleep, you can wake it up (by moving your mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard) without opening it. With this set-up, I rarely every turn off my laptop.

I've noticed that it depends on which way you have your iPad rotated. Someone else mentioned that in the comments as well. Mine will turn off if the button is on the right, but not if it's on the left.

Hmmm...this is so odd. Confirming my earlier post, the Asus is sitting on my lap right now w/ nothing between it and my legs except thin cotton yoga pants -- no problem at all. One would think all versions of this model would be the same, but clearly not. Glad I have a cool one!!! Still loving it after seven plus months, still recommending to anyone who'll listen, still truly awesome battery life.

I own the iPad 4 and have had no issues. The sleep function, as mentioned in previous reviews doesn't work, but honestly, turning it off at the top takes 1 second and it doesn't bother me.

I bought this case for my step-son as a Christmas gift. When the flap is closed your ipad automatically goes to sleep so the power will "drain" very, very slowly if at all. I haven't heard any complaints from him as yet.

The cover is broken in now and it fits very snugly when closed. One trick is to use double stick tape to secure the part that sticks to the back of the surface. This prevents it from moving or sliding off of the tablet during use. I don't have any problems with the auto sleep/wake feature. I always turn the power off when I close the cover.

No it does not wake the tablet when opened. Additionally it does not put the tablet to sleep when closed, it'll still shut down according to the time you have set.

Yes, it shut off when you close the pad, but make sure the pad is perfectly back in the correct rotation for complete shut off.

I don't think the case itself has a sleep/wake function but the tablet and the keyboard dock does. So when you close the tablet/keyboard together it while it's in the case then yes. But just the tablet with just the top half of the case I'm not sure.

I have some issues with it. Sometimes it appears to go into Hibernate mode rather than sleep mode. Probably happens about 30% of the time. I do have a Shieldz screen protector on the unit and believe that may be contributing to the issue.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and thorough reply! Since the right shift position was fixed in the HE, I'm going Asus. Your one-hand vs. two-hand description of certain functions really helped tip it for me. Thanks again!
