Is it just me or are the magnetic closures pretty flimsy? They barely lock into place and if I move the phone slightly the cover pops open.

I have no trouble with the cover. The fact is we have recommended to others. This was a gift and also the card area is easy to use.

Mine as well. Guess I have to replace this case with another in a week time since it is already tearing apart.

Send it back. They should replace it. I have had mine for more then a year and it stays closed.Henry

Mine actually holds surprisingly well. I can hold it face down and shake it and it won't open. I have dropped it and it's popped open, but during regular, daily use, I'm very pleased.

There's a magnet that hold the case closed. I've never dropped mine, but it feels relatively secure.

just looked at it and there doesn't seem to be an issue with mine. I took off the case and the gap when closed is the same with and with out the cover. hope that helps

I find them sensitive. They press too easy even when I am just trying to get the phone out of my pocket. I do like the case though despite this flow.

The flap sort of "snaps" in, so unless you push it in it will not completely close. Same with the Defender (I have both). But if it does not snap in, either the case is not properly fitted (take it off, put it back on) or there is a manufacturing defect (return it, they ain't cheap).

I agree. I've had the phone for months and it's a major annoyance. Here's what to do: You have to close the flap and then seal it slowly from one side to the other with one finger, while you hold the flap in place with the other finger, until the groove catches. Honestly, it took me a while to figure that out, but it will stay in place if you do it correctly. You'll get it, just keep messing with it.

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.

I don't remember about magnetic closures, but...I returned this case because it was top heavy in one position (always fell over on your lap or table) and had a poor viewing angle in the other.

The case is a bit difficult to put on because it fits so tight on phone. I feel that it does a great job keeping the phone dust free. Taking it off would seem to be harder. I will cross that path when I have replace the battery I suppose. I think the buttons work grest. Are you sure the sides have snapped into place as designed?

Yes, the magnetic front holds the case closed very well. The cover stays close if you hold it upside down and it takes more than just a finger flick to open the case. I believe the magnetic resistance is just right.

The cover has magnets in it. I just picked it up, turned it upside-down, and shook it. It remained closed. Hope this helps.

It is a little bit tight which is like a good and bad thing. But I just male sure my my hands are dry first, hold on to the top part of the case and pull the bottom piece. Once you get that off hold the bottom of ur phone & pull off the top piece it takes a little muscle lol ;-)

That's how mine works too, sorry. Kinda dumb for a case at this price. In fairness, the Apple case had the same issue. However, during use, this wasn't a deal breaker with either. Throw it in a bag, it stays shut. That's all I need.

I have never had that issue. My recommendation would be to wrap on hand around the top edge of you phone ( corners) and the other at the bottom and pull. The case should come a part. It is two pieces that slide together to connect

Yes the cover is very flimsy . The only coice is to close it with. Scoth Tape. Good luck

There's a band that's made of rubber that hugs the phone. You have to loop it around the phone and it attaches to a small bar to lock it. The lock is not strong and the whole thing is very flimsy and awkward to use. I don't recomend it. Try the magnet holder instead, that works GREAT!

Jennifer, in what way is the case not fitting? There should only be one model for this phone. It snaps on pretty tight, but fits snugly. How is it not working for you?
