How does a Kindle (or iPad) go to sleep when I close the lid of the case? Does it just detect something like going into complete darkness, or is it related to the magnet?

Yes, it senses the presence or absence, or possibly movement, of a magnet in the cover. Here is an article from someone who built their own cover, with magnet: http://blog.workingsi.com/2013/01/paperwhite-kindle-cover-how-to-add.html
