How can the leather flap be stretched to be aligned with the magnet and seal?

Mine fits good, not sure why it would need to be stretched other than a defect.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

The "Berlin" for the iPad mini was perfect, no stretching needed ..... the mini shut immediately with the flap covered. I was happy with that one ... really nice ! The Kavaj case for the iPad did not cover the iPad fully. The top and bottom were a bit short, the side was ok as it did shut the iPad with the flap down. As it did not cover the iPad fully when covered I returned it.

I've had the same problem, and no matter how much I try to stretch the leather flap, it never quite aligns with the magnet. If I place the iPad on a table, I almost always lay it upside-down so that its weight keeps the front flap closed. Not the perfect fit I was hoping for.

My case wasn't perfectly aligned when brand new. The alignment gets better with frequent use as the leather stretches (about a week if used frequently). My husband's case was the same.

I don't understand what the point of the magnetic flap on the cover would be. Perhaps you could offer your thoughts? The magnets are on the casing itself, and the entire outer segment of the cover is a magnet. The cover closes very securely without issue when these two meet.

The magnetic flap does not stick to the back of the phone but it's leather so it is not stiff and does stay out of the way. You can fit a few bills folded in the space under the ids. When you talk on the phone your cards are exposed. I use my phone a lot and my blue case is showing wear after a short time. I would rec black

Mine was tight as well. But borrowing from the old baseball glove technique, I rubbed a small, really small, amount of mineral oil on the exterior surfaces of my cover and that helped allow the leather to stretch. Now I can fit my DL and a single credit card in the slots.

Probably , there are cords connecting the two sides of the leather so you can adjust it. But the cords are weak. It's possible they will break

You could sew it - ironing on to leather is not a good idea- unlikely to last and will leave damage

there is a magnetic snap. the flap part has a slight protrusion. the base part has a slight depression. the protrusion inserts into the depression, and is kept closed with magnetic pieces.

Midori produces a 'pen loop' that you clip on the edge of the leather. Personally I just tuck my writing instrument between the elastic band and the cover.

You need to drill a small hole at the bottom of each flap, but the hole is onto a plastic part

The pads fit with a bit of coaxing the front cover as the retaining loop on my leather cover is approximately 1/4" (4.5mm) too small due to poor quality control at the factory. You will need to bend the front cover in the shape of a "U" and gently apply pressure to get the pad front cover under the retaining strap. Then close the cover, once the back cover of the pad is slipped into place where the business card/index card open sleeve is located. Here is what I have done to help matters: A drop of mineral oil is poured onto the leather and then, with a piece of beeswax, I rub the wax into the oil, spreading out the oil thinly while keeping the beeswax constantly moving. I did the entire surface inside and outside where the leather is finished and not the flesh side. Wipe everything with a paper towel, and buff. Look for a reflection of a light source to see if any oil or wax remain and wipe that away and buff briskly. Overnight, the leather does absorb and ever so slightly has a bit more give to it. I have done this three times and the notepads require less muscle to fit into the leather cover. Again, this is due to poor quality control at the factory. Years ago, when these covers were made in America, there was never any issues. Modern times mandate that we become a bit more flexible and seek old fashioned, simple solutions.

Quite likely it will fit,as mine did,but itwill be tight. The problem with this is thatthe tight fit will make it harder for theflap with magnet to close tight. I had tostretch the leather a bit to allow the flapand magnet to close properly.

The closure flap is magnetized. Works well. The only thing I don't like is it cannot be charged with the cover closed.

I had an older version of the door so the replacement flap's holes for screws along the top did not align. I just drilled my own holes to fit my door. A bit inconvenient but it works great.

I have no trouble using the top slot.Using both is troublesome; agreed.Leather will stretch, but, it's not a wallet, it's a phone case that will hold a license.

There is a flap but no magnet. This is an exceptionally high quality case made with solid materials. I love it! The Blue color is very classic.

Yes, it's being the magnetic flap that holds the case together. You just have to hold it down out of the way.

It has been a while since I did it... the back comes off. You might need a knife or thin screwdriver to fit into the gap, then pop it off. I don't recall any holes or tabs. There is an instruction sheet. I remember that popping it back on was a bit tricky. Strong fingers!
