Does it protect the sides and corners of the iPad mini?

No. It covers the front and back only, leaving the edges and corners exposed. A rugged case is better if drop protection matters.

Does it work as a stand?

Yes. The cover folds into a stand for typing and for watching video, though the positions are limited.

Does it wake and sleep the iPad automatically?

Yes. Opening the front cover wakes the iPad and closing it puts it to sleep.

Does it have a keyboard?

No. It is a cover and stand only. Buyers who want a keyboard need a keyboard folio or case.

Which iPad mini does it fit?

It is made for the 8.5-inch iPad mini. Check your model against Apple's compatibility list before buying, since sizes differ between generations.

Our take on the Apple Smart Folio for iPad Mini A20 pro MKR44ZM/A

The Smart Folio is Apple's own thin, light case for the iPad mini. It covers both the front and back, folds into a stand for typing and viewing, and attaches magnetically with no frame or straps. It is the slimmest first-party option, but it offers no drop protection and no keyboard, so rugged cases and keyboard folios do more for buyers who need that. Owners like the fit and the automatic wake and sleep; some find the open sides and lack of corner coverage a weak point.
