Elastic strap. I think it has a magnet switch it on but it does not keep it closed.

It close with a magnet . The elastic strap is also close with extra security. It works both ways. I like to place the heavy side on top just to have a better closure. Either way will work just fine. Thats just me. Ihope this willhelp.

It has a magnet but after I folded it open I could only get it to stay closed with the elastic strap.

Both. The elastic band keeps the booklet closed but the magnet does the on/off and does a decent job of keeping it closed, though, to be secure I use the band when tablet is in transport.

The closeure is magnetic, it is a pretty strong closure, I have a very physically active job and have not had any issues with the magnetic closure opening on its own

It was for my gr'daughter & she says not magnetic but just stays closed. That's all I know since I don't really have it. I bought one for my Samsung Tab 2 & it is magnetic.

It has an elastic band to hold it closed No magnetic closure. No strap to go around the hand.

Mine is definitely magnet, it's built into the cover about half way down the long side and helps the cover stay shut. I would say yours might be defective.

I also don't understand the question. The magnet which holds the case close doesn't interact with the on/off (lock/hold) button. The strap clasps around the center side, while the button to turn the phone on and off is on the top edge.

No there is no magnet. The case stays closed with weight of the leather in the design. My husband and I both like ours.

Hello Michelle. When the flap is opened, there are magnets that keep it in place, and I absolutely love it. I purchased two, one purple, that came with a stylus, and this black one. There is no elastic strap to wrap around the cover to keep it in place. I don't believe you would be disappointed with this purchase. Hope this helps.

It does not have an elastic strap; the iPad sits inside a rubberized "cradle". Hope that helps!

There is a magnetic closure-it isn't a very strong magnet. It does get the job done as the tablet is held very securely in the case.

The strap and magnets are on the inside of the case not the outside. So if you want to view the screen by putting your arm through the strap while you work with your hands you could do this. The magnets are inconsequential. If you want to close the case while working and still hold on to the case there is no way to do this since the strap resides on the inside of the case. The magnets are not strong enough to keep the case closed.

On mine Poetic Leather Case there is no elastic strap.....on most other models of cases the strap wraps around the unit to hold both top and bottom together..... OKAY I found the small elastic strap. You can slip your hand through and it enables you to show others a picture, map, ect from your tablet......just a guess .

Hello Andrea, We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The flip made does not use a magnet, and it stays closed like a book. Sincerely, SPIGEN SGP

Unfortunately this is built with the strap for use while opened. The strap is inside and used pretty much to hold steady. The magnet is only to keep the case closed. Hope this answers your question.

The closure is magnetic. This is better for me since I often fold the front flap around to the back and the magnetic part keeps the flap/cover from just hanging in the way. This is good for games or extended texting.
