I'm having major issues with the auto-sleep feature. In other words, I close the cover and it doesn't sleep! The lights stay on and drain the battery down 50% or more overnight. I close the cover and I have to peer at the very narrow strip between the cover and screen. Lights stay on about 50% of the time and I have to do multiple open/closes before the lights finally dim and I know it's going to sleep. During the day it's impossible to tell if the lights are on/off so I've taken to reading with them entirely off so I don't have to worry about battery drain issues with the cover.

A weird side effect: I have the auto-sleep timer set to 15 minutes. Having it in the sleep cover seems to negate that? At any rate, it didn't auto-sleep with the sleep cover closed and then never turned off automatically based on the timer either.

I also find the stand capability to be weak (top magnet is much weaker than the bottom) and the stand doesn't really stay "standing".

So overall, I'm VERY disappointed in the sleep cover. Especially at $50. I'm returning mine and waiting for a 3rd party cover.
You do have 'Automatically sleep and wake up' checked under 'Energy Saving and Privacy' in settings?
