Which case activates wake/sleep option in iPad setting

Hi,

I bought an eStuff Folio Cover for my iPad Pro 10,5 but it does not show the sleep/wake option under Display & Brightness.

Does anybody know what case/cover is compatible with this iPad so that the option is shown? Is it only the Apple covers (than hundreds of other cases marketed as having this option is a lie???) Is it only those that are attached to the magnetic connector on the side? Is it juts my case or won't any other work with sleep/wake unless it's connected via the magnetic connector on the side?

Or maybe this worked fine in 2017 and was disabled with newer OS?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

There are plenty of covers/cases on Amazon that support the magnetic display on/off feature.

It doesn't matter if a cover is on the iPad, or not.

The cover Lock/Unlock option under the Display & Brightness setting should always be there!

It is part of iOS.

Have you tried a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?

When you purchased this cover, did it mention the Display on/off magnetic feature in its description?

I finally managed to activate the option in iPad settings - by putting a magnet next to the magnetic connector on the side :)

I have now bought a Spigen back + Apple front cover - works great.

Btw. comparing the general quality and 'feel' of eStuff cover with Spigen - Spigen feels like 3 levels up from estuff :)

Thanks anyway!

Yeah,

I was going to mention in my previous post to you that anything made or distributed by a company with a somewhat generic name, called “eStuff” ], should be a red indicator/flag as to the possible poor level of quality and functionality of such a poor, generically named product.

Hello,

Often Apple's own accessories or those that support native Apple features.

Haha, I bought this brand because it is distributed by some Apple official resellers - at least in Poland. Though it meant that it would not be a total crap...
