Is there a clasp or magnet to make sure the case does not open when the iPad is not in use? I leave my iPad in my backpack and do not want it to open

It does not have a magnet or clasp to keep locked. However the shell and hinge have a spring that will keep it closed and will not open freely when it is being moved.

The clam-shell hinge has an internal spring that engages when the case is nearly shut that shuts the case completely. It will keep the case from opening due to vibrations, etc., if that's what you're asking.

The magnetic closure only works when you close the cover. It does not have magnets on the back of the case so that when you fold it over it doesn't hold the cover to the back of the case. I love my cover. I have several.

The magnet is strong enough to turn the iPad on and off. It's also strong enough to hold it shut when your hand is holding the iPad upside down by the spine. Random things get attached to the iPad cover because of the magnet. However, if the iPad cover slips and the edge of the iPad is exposed, then the magnet will no longer hold the cover shut.

Hi Chad......the magnet works perfect. I haven't had any problems with the case opening up at all. Good luck :)

no magnetic closure, has an elastic band to keep it closed, no strap to hold it but you can use the band but it's not like having a regular strap to hold it sturdy. Also you can remove the Note (has it's own case) from the outer case. What I do like is when you close the flap it automatically puts the screen to sleep and it's not very bulky.

There is a camera hole on the inside cover. The inside cover snaps to the zipper cover. I just got back from a trip and used my camera a lot. I don't snap it out every time. I just turn it so the lense was outside the zipper case and snapped the pic then turned it back into zipper case. Worked great. There is also a magnet on/off when case is closed. If it doesn't work turn the ipad in the cover, it only works on one side. I love this case and would recommend it to everyone.

Mine came with a cable "click" lock. It locks onto a special nub with that special cable lock. The cable ends at one end with a lock and other end in a loop. You wrap the cable around something that cannot be moved. Then put the lock threw the loop then click lock the lock to the nub on the case. Case is to big to go through the loop so the cable holds the iPad to whatever you have wrapped the cable around. Just like a laptop cable lock.

It stays shut pretty good, but if you have something thin in your backpack it might slip into the case. I always carry mine Ipad Mini inside the case, & inside a zippered pouch, just to be safe.

There are two magnets, one on top and one one the bottom, of the cover that holds it closed. I've never had a problem with it coming open unintentionally.

There is a magnet that helps keep it close, but there is no elastic or magnet to keep it open. I haven't found that to be a problem though because I am either using the hand strap or just holding it. I recommend it unless you want there to be something like you are asking about. You could always use a rubber band I guess.

It closes with magnets? I carry mine in my purse and have never had a problem with its coming open.

There is no magnet. The ipad does not always stay in the case well when opening it or standing it up.

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.

I don't recall how to keep it in the case. I could not keep the case closed and the Ipad kept coming on when it was shut and should be turned off by the magnetic feature. I threw it away. Not a good purchase.

Yes, the case does have magnets to keep the case open or closed. The magnets do perform very well. My wife is using this case primarily but I have had some experience with it. It seems to be very solid and well made and my wife has ZERO complaints!!
