Folding Case with magnet sleep/wake?

[RzzB]

I have just upgraded to an LG G4 from a Nexus 5.

Both phones have a folding leather case. The Nexus 5 wakes/sleeps when the case is opened/closed but the G4 does not seem to have this facility. Is this a function of the phone or have I just purchased the wrong acse?

Thanks,
Roy

This genuine LG wireless charging case does exactly that. This is what I use Genuine LG G4 F500 Quick Circle Case Original Cover Qi Wireless Charging NFC | eBay

Based on your experience, does this smart flip case drains more battery than normal cases?

It doesn't affect the battery at all.

Thanks for your response.

That's good news that the phone does have this capability. All I need to do now is find a case that suits me and has the same capability.

I have had a further look and it seems that the only cases with this capability have the round window in them. I really don't want that. I just want a full flap.

I'll keep looking.

Many thanks,
Roy

OK - I have found out the answer from LG Support...

Evidently the LG case has something embedded in it (not just a magnet) that does this function.

So - non LG cases will not have this function - until someone cracks it that is - We shall see.

However - the LG version has a blooming great hole in the front protective cover so you can see the time through it. I have a watch.

Surely the whole reason for buying a case like this is protection - what's the point if it's got a hole in the protecting cover that keys and coins in your pocket can get at the screen. Yes/no?
