The magnetic of the cover does not affect the iPad?

Initially I had the same problem. Push down and forward on the edge of the case (the spine of the book, if it were a book), so that the front cover extends out over more of the iPad. The magnets will now reach and turn off the display with a click. Turn the volume up at least 50% so you can hear the iPad click.
