how does it stay closed when not in use? Will it work on model A1489 ipad mini with retina

The flap lays flat over the face of the IPad, similar to the The cover that Apple sells. My IPad mini is the first generation. I believe it will also fit the newer generation.

Stays closed the same way expensive Apple covers do, with magnets. Works perfectly with our minis.

It suits and work perfectly on model A1489" (that is the model of my iPad), and if you are asking about that if the ipad come into sleep/awake mode when you open/close the cover of the case the answer is yes and works fine, but you need to enable this function on settings.

I bought for model ME277LLA. Mine is an iPad mini 2 with retina display. It should fit. The cover is magnetic, so when closed, it goes into sleep mode.

The case has a magnet to make it stay closed and yes it works on the A1489 model, I have it myself. By far the best iPad mini case I have! I bought three from Amazon and I pretty much only use this one.

Gravity keeps the cover closed. You really have to break in the cover to make it close fully though. The magnet is to wake and sleep the screen when you open and close the cover.

I have a IPad mini also it works great. I originally bought a cover that Was fine for awhile but you couldn't prop it up or turn it. This works greatI hope this helps.

There is no magnet to keep it closed. Just the weight of the ipad keeps it shut.

Hi, I have iPad mini (original) and it fits perfectly. As far as I know iPad mini retina is pretty much the same size as iPad mini. One thing I need to let you know is after I use this cover for awhile I notice the leather gets too soft after you bend the cover to stand for a while. It is impossible to make it stand at the first track now. :( (Not sure if you understand what I mean). And, this cover doesn't have auto shut off function. Just to let you know what you should expect if you buy it. The price is good and the color is pretty though.

With the keyboard attached there is a snap closure; without it, nothing keeps it closed other than the cover's weight. I have not found this to be a problem using my Asus tablet only. --- John

I do not have an iPad Air. One thing I forgot to mention is that it does not close shut so a lot of the times your iPad would stay on for a while before shutting down.

It depends on your personal Cover, mine is a Targus and stays on with cover open or closed!!! Hope this helps, by the way it works great!

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).

It has an elastic band that you pull over the cover. It's very convenient. It also has a magnetic snap but it does not hold it closed. mostly used for shutting the ipad on and off. You would have to use the band to hold it shut (you can see it in the picture) hope it helped.!

There is no mechanism to keep it closed. In the beginning, it wouldn't even close anyway, it stayed kind of open. Over a few weeks, the front cover has loosened up a bit, allowing it to close all the way, but there is nothing to keep it over the screen. I really dislike this--when I drop it, the case comes open. On the plus side, it will stand up with the front folded back, in landscape mode.

Did you feel and hear it snap and lock into place? If so, it should stay securely. Make sure you align the openings of the case with the iPad so it will lock in place.

It stays closed by magnets, which are rather strong. I travel 2 weeks a month for work and take mine with me. Never had an issue with it NOT staying closed.

I haven't noticed this case draining my battery when closed at all. In fact it actually puts my iPad in automatic sleep mode when I close it.

I personally have never experienced this problem. My iPad goes to "sleep" every time the cover is closed with this companion case on. I've really enjoyed this case and have not experienced any difficulty while using it.

I have the iPad Air. The cover is pretty secure. I just held it upside-down and it stayed closed. As I move it around, it stays in position and opens only when I open it. The pictures in the description are accurate.
