Does the magnetic front hold the case securely closed well?

It seems to stay closed very well. I was surprised to discover, however, that the Kindle, even when shut off, goes on automatically when the cover opens. Mine is new so I don't know, yet, if that requires more frequent charging.

It doesn't seem to me to be a secure feature so much as one that is meant to turn the Kindle off when you shut it. Also, the magnet on mine is located in the top right corner, not in the middle. Again, a feature if the auto shut-off?

Yes it does. I can hold it and shake it and it stays closed. The cover folds back very nicely too. Very easy to hold when reading.

Yes...it holds well...just the right amount of resistance for me. Its secure, but much easier than messing with any kind of clasp or strap.

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.
844062
Yes, at least so far. Have carried in backpack and pocket without a problem.

It holds it closed enough not to start up accidentally, but it doesn't take much effort to open it

Yes. The case has a very nice finish and the magnetic bar is about 3" long, this makes the cover stay in the right position without being hard to open.

I have used mine for only a couple of weeks but so far I have experienced no problems of that type.I like the magnet closure system over a snap or Velcro as I have used in the past on other cell phones cases.

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.

The one I have has a magnetic closure, I find no functionality problems.I really like mine, it is thin and neat. Seems to be good quality.

Not a problem as the magnet holds the "flap" closed to the case. Comfortable.

Karen; the case has a magnetic closer that holds it closed. It has done a good job for me.

Yes there is a small magnet that holds the cover shut, i dont know what others were complaining about my cover stays shut just fine

There isn't a magnet to keep it close, but mine stays mostly closed. I just flip the cover behind the back to keep it open.

Yes it does have magnets. It is good for keeping the top closed and it won't open unexpectedly! If is an awesome case!!

Yes, there are magnets in the case. No, it does not close with a latch or strap. I have not experienced turning on and off whenever the case was opened or closed.

Yes. There is a magnetic closure and it works quite well. I happen to be using this with an iPhone 5s with a Otter Box Commuter Series case and it works well with it. The bottom line is; you'll like it.

It holds it very, very well UNTIL the plastic cracks (if it's been dropped, etc). But even with it cracked, as long as it the magnet strap was closed, it held pretty well. The next case I bought has a rubber casing around it that holds it snug and won't crack.

The magnets turn the screen on and off as they should, and the case is held shut with an elastic strap. It's very secure. I've had a similar case on another iPad for more than a year now with no issues.

No. I've not had a problem with that. The magnetic closer keeps it in place well. Plus the keyboard is removable if you worry about that.

Yes it holds securely with magnet and turns pad off when closed and on when opened. Great cover to own.
