I see a lot of people complaining about the magnetic closure, does this case have a magnet that does not work or does it not have a magnet at all?

There is a magnet, but because of the ability to rotate and the flexibility of the spine of the case, sometimes the magnet doesn't align perfectly with the magnets on the iPad. Make sure that it lines up and use the elastic to hold it closed and it works fine. As one commenter said, look at the top after it's closed and check that the light is out. This is a great case.

The case I bought works. It is not perfect but I would say that it works most of the time. You just need to make sure the strap is on and holding the folds together. If I am worried about it I just look down the top of the case and see if its on or not. If it is on I just hit the sleep button on top of the ipad.

it does not have a magnet. but when you close it or when top meets bottom the lights go out and i take it that it is off. just read the specs on this. it does have a rubber band almost an inch wide to keep it shut.

It works very poorly. I shut mine off. I love this case tho..... The only bad reviews are on the magnetic strip not working. People have become so lazy they can't hit a button to turn on and off their iPad....

It uses magnet to close. I have never had a case use anything else. I really love this case and the inside is rubber not hard plastic.

It does have a magnetic closure. It is rather secure when you close it up so you don't have to worry about your credit cards and whatnot falling out.

It's a magnetic closure. There are hidden magnets in the flap and in the part of the case that it closes against.

Yes this cover has magnets to hold the cover closed. It is a very nice case that I would recommend.

Their is no magnet, nor means of holding it unless you can jury rig something. I do still use the case every day as it is very light and does offer protection. While I would have preferred aniline, it is holding its looks fairly well and I have had people ask me where I got it.

I'm not sure why they would say that but I have not had any problems with the magnets. I love this case!

It is not magnetic. The cover usually stays closed or you can turn it over (face down). I don't have any problem with the cover staying closed on mine. I love this cover!

This case does have a magnet closure. I have not had any problem with it opening in my purse or tote. I really like it because it is streamlined and not bulky.

I'm not sure if has a magnet but it does turn off the iPad when you close the case. I've had the case for a year and I think it is fantastic. I use it everyday and it still looks like new. Good luck

I haven't had a magnet issue at all and I've had this case for a few weeks now. In fact, I haven't had any other issues with it either.

Case does close with small magnets. It does not have a latch or strap. I have not had any problem with it turning on or off when the case is opened and closed.

Yes a magnet is used to close the case. It can stand up in two positions that works well for taking notes in meetings. The case folds over the screen and stays closed due to the magnet. It is a good case for the price.

It does have a magnetic closure. It doesn't seem too strong of a magnetic but, on the other hand, I've never had it open on me either.

Yes there are built in magnets that keeps it closed. Very nice case for a low price.
