Not all third-party cases/covers include the embedded magnet that operates the iPad’s magnetic sensor that detects closure of the cover.


For cases/covers that do include the required magnet, ensure that the lock feature is enabled in iPad settings:

Settings > Display & Brightness > Lock/Unlock - set to ON
