When the cover is folded double, like a magazine, is it held flat magnetically, or does it flap free unless held?

There are no magnets to hold cover back.I did return this case because there are no openings for the top switch or volume controls, this making these function's more difficult to do. (you have to push through the leather to use them). Nice looking case however.

The cover is held magnetically when it is closed on the screen. However, if you peel it back from the screen it flaps free even if you pull it all the way behind. This is a really beautiful and sturdy case.

The back cover does not have any magnets embedded, so when folded open the front cover flaps unless held.This is not a big issue in terms of actual use since the device's size is so small, I naturally hold it closed, and adding magnets seems even a bit superfluous.

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.

It does flap free. There are no magnets on the back side of the case. It is an extremely nice case. I've had several compliments.

It flaps free. This is because the magnet is on the inside of the flap. When folded like a magazine you have outside touching outside.When you fold the cover into a triangle to allow the mini to sit upright or at a slight angle the magnet holds this in place because the inside of the cover is folded against the back.It's a beautiful cover - I recommend it.

Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen. And there aren't ever any creases that develop since the flap is made to fold in pretty much every direction. And because of the magnets, the flap with actually stay flat on the back even when you're not holding it down and will stay like that until you actually try to fold it back over to the front (You know how with paperbacks, when the pages you had folded back would just flop back to the front the moment you don't hold them back anymore but then they don't actually "close" all the way because now the pages are bent? Yeah, this cover will NOT do that). Hope that helps ^_^ Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen.

If you're asking if the magnets touch/work together with cover flapped open and bent backwards.....no it doesn't. The flat part of the magnet sticks to side of phone, the back piece of the cover overlaps or blocks that flat magnet from connecting with the part on the cover. Hope that makes sense. It's still nice to have and haven't found your concern to be an issue.

The cover pretty much stays closed on its own due to the shaped leather. I haven't had any issues with it flapping open on its own.

Yes it can flip over completely flat to hold as a book. The cover quality is good. I believe this one of best available through Amazon. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good cover fir iPad device.

Yes. Folds very smoothly. The piece connecting front and back is very pliable. The reader is just a little thick for the case. Stills closes okay with magnetic closure.

I purchased this and, once I bent the strap back and forth a little to lessen stiffness, it is magnetic toward the other side of the case cover and holds the case together while it is all the way open and folded back. I do not mean to correct the seller's answer, but mine does this just fine every time.

I usually fold the magnetic flap under the other flap when I am going to be on the phone for very long. It has not been a problem at all for me. Yes, the case folds back.

The cover has magnets in it. I just picked it up, turned it upside-down, and shook it. It remained closed. Hope this helps.

No . The magnetic piece just keeps it closed. When I fold mine all the way back I use a clip on book light that holds it in place.

The small flap closure has a magnet in it to secure closing it. Works very well.

It has a magnet but after I folded it open I could only get it to stay closed with the elastic strap.

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!

No the samsung flip cover is not magnetic, and it doesn't have a flap. It doesn't have anything to keep it closed. It just lays flat it does open sometimes because it doesn't have anything to keep it closed.

Sorry, but mine is NOT magnetic. It's just the flap folding over into a flat loop on the back.

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.

A magnet is used to hold the cover closed. I have not noticed any reception difference. Yes it folds completely over.
