Smartie - I have the sleep cover for my original Paperwhite and another one for my Paperwhite2. I find it very convenient to have the Kindle automatically turn on/off when I open/close the cover, and wish I could find a similar cover for my Asus tablet I recently purchased. I also like the way the case adds virtually no bulk to the PW2, resulting in a sleek, light reader that is easy to hold. I don't know of a way to turn this function off. (Other than buying a different case, of course). Maybe you'll get used to it, as obviously most devices don't automatically turn on when you open the cover.

Best of luck with your new Paperwhite 2! Hopefully you'll enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine the past couple of years.
