Has to be a cover with a magnet in it.
Get the moko case from amazon, i love it and it has the screen off functionality with the magnets, plus its only $20

I bought this one (haven't received it yet though)

I picked it because the bottom easily slides off, so I can still put it in the charging dock.
It also has the magnet for turning the screen on/off

Hi,
Cant remember where I read that the sony case itself as well as several non-sony ones would support smart cover (when you flip open, the screen comes on without you touching it) and smart sleep (goes to sleep when you close the cover). Sort of like a ipad function. I have the sony original case for tablet z and I cant the 2 features to work.
any ideas? thanks

i've this one and works perfect for me with the smart sleep function. It's great quality.
I know the Sony official case woleeps/wakes fine out of the box with no changes needed to settings. I returned it to frys though because it wasn't worth $90 with tax in my opinion.

Yeah I think it is supposed to have those features, sounds like a faulty case to me. I was thinking about getting this case, but decided to save some money and just got a sleeve that also turns into a stand. Would be more practical for me anyway, I don't like cases.

I just tested the smart functionality using my Sony case (the red one). It works as far as I can tell: It wakes the screen when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when the cover is shut.
It's an elegant cover. But I agree that it's too expensive for what it is. I use it on my commute to work. I've read complaints that it's too bulky. It does not seem so to me, and it's pretty easy to take the XTZ out of the case when I get to my office.
Disable function
Is there a way to disable this function? Thanks
Out of curiosity, how does it work at all? Is it simply working through the light sensor, i.e. when its covered and pitchdark it assumes cover closed and goes to sleep, once ambient light reaches it it wakes up?
Or is it more elaborate than that?

There is a reed switch about an inch left of the front camera. A magnet will activate the switch and cause the tablet to enter Sleep Mode. Removing the magnet will cause the tablet to wake. Many tablet cases have a magnet in their front cover.
@hyann I'm using the Poetic case for my XTZ and the smart wake/lock function works great. It isn't bulky or heavy either and the best part is that you can get it for under $20 USD. It's a well designed case and protects the device really well. Basically the tablet is placed into the matte finished plastic case that's connected to the leather binding.

HEY guys i just bought a g note 3 yesterday along with the official s-view cover.
The cover functions in the way as described, but when i fold the cover full towards the back for example i fold it when i text the phones goes in to the s-view mode (like when the cover is closed) note: the cover is still open and folded towards the back of the device.
I would like to know whether this problem is caused by the cover or the phones connectivity with the cover?
Thanks for your help in advance

I used to have a similar problem when I used that case. Instead of going into S-view mode like yours does, mine would do the opposite. When I closed the cover it would show my Home screen through the cover. It sorted itself out eventually. Not sure what causes this though. Sorry I can't really be of any help other than just wait it out, it will probably start working correctly eventually. Your not the only one who has had this kind of issue though.
You should send your cover back under warranty. It is a problem with a magnet on the bottom side of the flip, which in your case is probably too strong.
Don't hesitate, This is a known manufacture problem of a few exemplars, and does not happen in working ones.
Cheers,

My s view cover doens't stay shut in most cases. I close it and it opens again - in particular once I opened it completely. Is this normal or are the magnets not strong enough and I should have it exchanged?

Mine does this, too. Not exactly what I expected for that price. But it always closed enough so that s-view was active.

Their are no magnets to keep the case closed. The magnets are there to tell the phone when to enter/exit S-View mode. Case is a good idea, but with it not closing all the way, I took mine back. Waiting on the Spigen S-View case which has a clasp to keep the cover closed. Was just announced and has a shipment date of around the 1st of the year.
Looking for a FlipWallet with one card slot (to put my transport card)
that has Auto-Wake/Auto-Sleep
and a cutout so that the LED indicator can shine through
was thinking of the Samsung Official FlipWallet Case...
but it has no cutout for the LED
and it does not seem to offer good protection (I'm currently using a Rearth case)
any suggestions?
I got a Seidio Ledger - the one without the s-view window but instead a pocket where I keep two cards as well as cutouts for the speaker and LED light. There are no auto sleep/wake functions in the case itself but I use a really handy app called Smart Screen, which uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen off/on after the cover is opened/closed after a configurable amount of time (2 seconds works well, b/c it will also toggle the screen if you cover / wave over the proximity sensor with your hand).
I like and would recommend that case, but take that app for a spin (free... I think with ads, but it seems that the Xposed module xad always blocks them for me). If you like the app it opens your options quite a bit (the first case I got was a Cruzerlite wallet case, which is also nice and more protective than the Seido, but it's significantly thicker and I prefer Seidio's style so I almost always use that one).
Hope that helps with your case search!

thanks for the recommendations!
hmm hoping not to use another app to get the cover working the way it should :/
can't seem to find the FlipCover anywhere
How does "auto on" work when I open my cover?
I have some cover here but when I open it S3 doesn't wake up.
Not everyone cover does function but what does it depend on?
There has to be a magnet embedded in the cover in a certain spot.

I have the original tab s3 keyboard cover and it doesn't wake the tablet as well.

I've tried 3 aftermarket covers and they all wake the tablet when I open it. Unfortunately I did not get the keyboard cover. (Too expensive here in the US)

I have this on from amazon:

There is also a small magnet in the front cover but how shoul it work.? Maybe some bug in samsung software?
I think the ambient light sensor manages the auto on function.

I'm pretty sure it's the magnet. It works in the total darkness for me, and manually covering/uncovering the ambient light sensor does not wake the tablet.

There is a sensor in the top left corner of the tablet (when in portrait mode). You can try it using a small magnet.

Now I found in each corner magnets.
But using a small magnet even with two pieces on both sides simultaneously tablet still wont wake up...
But something I must do wrong: my old Galaxy Tab S works without problems but for testing I can not bring it with my magnets for wake up...
Try a different cover/case. It must be a "smart" cover made specificaly for the Tab S3. If it is not a "smart" cover, the automatic screen on/off function will not work. Also, Samsung's keyboard cover/case does not include the neccessary magnet so you have to use the power button; their regular (non-keyboard) cover has the magnet and works perfectly
the samsung OEM official keyboard cover does have sort of "auto sleep/wake" function.
HOWEVER, IT WORKS AS FOLLOWS: tablet turns on when connected to pogo pins on keyboard......tablet turns off when disconnected from pogo pins.....
confirmed on my model this evening.
check the following:
go to settings > system > accessories.......then turn "on" automatic unlock.
The seller of this case claims it doesn't have wakelock magnets but it does... dont bother

Attached photo is without the cover folded to the back..its MUCH worse when it is but I wasnt going to risk damaging my tablet to to take another screenshot..lol
While waiting for the keyboard cover (I got it "free" for buying the tablet at launch) I ordered this and received it today.
A little on the heavy side (I think around 250gr), protects the tablet and screen. Sturdy fold system for having the tablet stand up horizontally (for movie watching, I guess), no way that I can understand to have the tablet slightly raised for typing on touchscreen when not using the "real" keyboard. Screen cover turns on the device but with fingerprint id unlocking is kind of useless quite frankly. There's a magnet to ensure the cover stays closed.
Look is understated, with a "bas relief" Huawei logo in the bottom right corner. You can see pictures here:

How slim would you say this is? I currently have an aging Sony Z3 Compact tablet and have ordered the M5 as replacement.
When I first purchased the Z3C tablet I found all the 3rd party covers to be a bit on the bulky side. But when I finally got hold of the original Sony SCR28 cover - it was considerably slimmer than the 3rd party ones.
So, I am wondering if I should just get a cheap 3rd party cover from Amazon or hold out for the official Huawei one....
Flip cover
What do you think about this flip cover? http://s.aliexpress.com/UJ3YbIzE?fromSns
I think it's well done because it leaves the pogo pins uncovered so if you have to connect the tablet to the keyboard you do not have to detach it from the flip cover
gorman42,
Are you using flipcover with a stock room?
I found turnoff/turn on feature does not work with custom rom and interested to know other people experience.
I installed carbon rom.
Also do you have any reaction when you flip cover from front to back ?
I found magnet sensor reacts on that and triggers false positive
