When the drive is in the "case", does it snap securely, or is it loose?

It does not snap into the case, but it is snug enough that you need to push it out. It does not just flip out of the case with gravity.

it folds completely inside and fits quite well even after multiple uses but does not "Snap" shut in any way

How about this. It snaps in very gently, but you can't shake it out of the case. For my use, it is perfect. I've also had this thing for several years, and China changes their specs about once a week. Today's device could be very different.

Define loose. My adapter connects without ever falling out but it is by no means as snug a connection as some other adapters I've had. I haven't had any problems with the adapter though, if that's what you're asking.

From what i see, the enclosure has 4 small screws in the bottom and glued on feet on top of them. I haven't opened the case yet but I feel confident you can open and replace the drives. I wish you can buy the case and put the drive yourself. Ummm, let me check on that, come to think of it.

I haven't moved it. I just set it up on my desk and it works like any other external drive. I heard they were rugged and I keep my photos on it.

Mine has never snapped in or anything but has always been really secure. It's hard to tell you if what your experiencing is normal without a bit more detail.

Make sure the drive unit is rotated with the off/on switch on the bottom also check that the drive unit wires coming out at the end are not letting the case completely close.

The disc (disc has a nylon bushing) sits on top of the base (base has a stainless peg). No snap required, only gravity keeps it in place.

The magnetic clasp is VERY STRONG and sticks right away when you near the two magnets together. I was actually surprised of how strong the magnet is to the both of them, and very good question by you. Now, with the Macbook Pro 15; without the disk drive, the laptop itself is BARELY loose, perhaps like less than an inch! So you don't have to worry of the laptop wallowing around while you walk with the case. I yet have not been disappointed with this case. I hope this helps you.

This is a regular sized drive, not a slim one. What makes them look different is the cover. It is a simple matter of switching out covers, they snap off and on.

Yes. I have done this several times. The hdd fits snugly though, and it is quite difficult to get in and out. I used a screwdriver, but a flatbladed scaper of some sort might be better.

That's what I thought initially. Well, it snaps :) just use more force to snap it in, no worries, you won't break it :) after you use enough force, you should feel/hear as it clicks in and them it will be tight and stable.

The drive does not have a bezel. The latching mechanism in yuour laptop determines how easily it may be removed. Make certain the latches are locked. My drive detached once, after a 30-inch drop to the floor but it and laptop survuved intact.

It moves slightly, more so when empty, but after filling it up I've had no issues. Tons of space and very secure.

This question can't be answered because it is too generic. In other words, it all comes down to what type of case or hot swap system you are using as there are different ways and methods of sliding and locking it the drives depending upon the manufacturer. You will just have to roll up your sleeps and do the research for yourself.

It's snap. Just remove the old case and replace it with the new case. That simple.

The drive is very quiet. I haven't had any issues with noise from my drive.

The lid clicks when closed but remember you can easily lift the lid with your fingers. I am not sure to what degree you mean "that secure".
