Do the magnets switch on and off the ipad?

Yes- it is a great cover. Only thing i wish is that it had some inside pockets for business cards, or papers. There is nothing.

Yes they do. Also the case is great and you shouldn't regret it if you purchase it.

No. There IS a magnet in the keyboard groove to give the mating a slight *snap* into place, but it will disengage almost instantly if you pick it up by the iPad.

Yes, the case does have magnets to keep the case open or closed. The magnets do perform very well. My wife is using this case primarily but I have had some experience with it. It seems to be very solid and well made and my wife has ZERO complaints!!

I have the third generation iPad. The case fits very well and is sturdy and works with the third generation connector. However, the magnetic off function has never worked on mine and sometimes, even after I have turned the iPad off, it is on when I open the cover. I bought mine several months ago, so don't know if they have fixed this.

Yes it does switch off. There is a button on the inside that when you slide it up or down it will turn on and off, also there are colors that will tell you to, Red for Off and Green for On. you will hear and feel a click sound too.

I'm not sure I understand your question. The magnets only function is to keep the cover closed. You can put your arm through the strap and the iPad will just dangle. The iPad is held in the case with Velcro and is very sturdy in there. Hope this helps.

NO. Mine (purchased end of August 2013) has a snap closure. No magnets at all.

I'm not sure if has a magnet but it does turn off the iPad when you close the case. I've had the case for a year and I think it is fantastic. I use it everyday and it still looks like new. Good luck

i dunno about the magnets but im sure that when i close the flap/cover of this case, my Note 8 automatically turns off its screen... when i open the flap/cover, sometimes it automatically turns my Note 8's screen on, sometimes it won't (it depends on how the screen was turned off)...

Yes. The manual lamp switch is still an option - but why? :) I love being able to use my iPad to turn the lamp on and off.

Dear Kim it seems that my first answer to you was in fact wrong they should have a turn off. However neither of mine has worked for some reason, but they are very good covers hence I have two sorry about that,my answer was right as I experienced, but wrong as far as the cover should turn your IPad off

Yes, you just want to make sure the keyboard is powered off when you do. Otherwise it will press keys and do crazy things with your iPad.

No it does not. There is room when it is closed for you to turn off your iPad though.

The magnets on the Ipad hold the cover on but it does NOT have a latch or anything to keep the two sides together. As long as it is laying flat or you are hold it, no problem. I do love the keyboard!!

No, this is not a magnetic switch, a magnetic switch is active, that is, to enable or disable need a electrical impulse. If you need the switch turns off when the power is disconnected, look for a active magnetic switch. This switch is mechanical.

It has a magnet to close the case but not a automatic magnet that turns the iPad

No- it does not shut off your iPad. I have one for iPad4 and one for iPad Mini and they both lack that capability.
