    My old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 had magnetic sensors in it that would shut off the screen. How it worked is you would put a case on it with a cover that would fold over the screen, and the cover had magnets in it that would activate the sensors and turn off the screen when you closed it.

    Anyway, it got old and unreliable and I had to replace it. The new ones don’t have that feature.

      Really? All iPads I have used have this feature. I thought this was there on all android tablets as well. My last android tablet was Nexus 9 and it had this feature. I am currently using iPad mini and it also has this feature.

        Not sure what they’re talking about. My Galaxy Tab S8+ has this feature. My case shuts the screen off via magnets.
