How flexible is the "hinge" part - does it flip and stay back easily while talking on the phone? How does it stay closed if dropped - no latch?

Works really good.....folds easily and returns well. I fully enjoy this case.

Its flexible, but since it has no latch holding it back during a phone call is up to the user. And if it falls there is a chance that the flap will open. I've dropped it a couple times and the case has kept the phone in mint condition.

It's very flexible... no hinges though...and it does not stay back while your on the phone unless you hold it back, and it doesn't stay closed if dropped because their isn't a latch..I don't use mine anymore... Went with a rubberized case

It folds back nicely but it doesn't stay closed as there is no latch. I missed say the one time I did drop it, it landed like a teepee with the cover slightly open.

It flips back easily and will stay that way if you lay it on the cover. I have mine open a lot so then it will only stay closed all the way if you lay it on the cover closed. It does stay closed inside my purse and that is where I was worried about it being scratched. I have never dropped it but could probably land open or closed. No there isn't a latch.

The flap is flexible but you'll need to hold it open while talking -- I use my thumb. As far as dropping goes, you'll probably get good protection most of the time, but the flap does not have a latch and the flap could open leaving the glass exposed.

they do not flip over no me. not exactly heavy either. i bought the original base unite with the answering stuff many years ago. that just burned up (i was hit by lightening) but none of the charging units were effected. however, the phones are solid as a rock. i have the original cracked screen beat to hell one from, many years ago...its the best of my 4.

This doesnt stay closed, but the little red strap does a great job of keeping the phone in place. I would suggest a screen cover because if you drop it and it lands face open, you risk cracking your screen. Its easy to take pictures with and there are no issues there, and when someone calls you can just flip it all the way open to talk. I love this case, but I do want to get a screen cover for safety.

Thanks for asking D.- I feel like the hinge is good and sturdy and yes it remains closed. I feel it will last rolling around in my purse. My husband carries his with him to work in a semi truck...he's had his all summer and it works fine and is still in really good shape. We keep one by the bed fully charged so he can come home, put his headset in it to charge while we sleep. We have been very satisfied with ours. In all I have ordered 3 more for friends...both charger case and headset. All really do like theirs as well and we've had no problems.Anita

No, the phone just flips open. I've had one of these phones, and leather case for a number of years. What I really like about the case it that is offers a layer of protection should the phone get dropped (which I have done many times). The case is designed so that you can easily plug in an earbud.

It stays closed just fine even though it does not have a locking mechanism. Plus you can pop it right off if you want to use touch only, then pop it right back on for serious typing.

There's no latch or anything, but there is a slightly magnetized strip on the cover that keeps it closed. I haven't had any problems with it coming open accidentally.

I never tried talking with the case closed due to the fact of it being less functional to use the keypad that way. However, you can easily flip the cover to the back of the phone so it won't dangle while you are talking. Also, I listen to music with the case closed all the time and there is no loss of sound since there are appropriately placed slits in the cover.

The issue of breakage is not while dropping, is from removal from the waist holder. It has a clip that hold the phone around your waits that , on that clip, there is catch clip when you press it to store your phone it snaps very easyly. Thus making the phone carrier portion obsolete.

What do you do with a great phone? Discontinue it! The most critical replacement part for this phone (housing that contains the flip hinge) is no longer available. . .most other parts are. This is a remarkable phone. I bought 2 reconditioned phones, I'm using one currently . . .if it deep sixes then I move my SIM card to the other phone and I'm good to go

with jaws fully clamped the opening is 1-3/4 inches so as long as flip phone is not less than say two inches in width it should hold it fine.

You can flip the phone open while it's in the case. Great case for the phone.

This cover is actually 2 parts with a leather like hinge. One side snaps firmly onto the phone and the cover swings up and snaps shut over the face. It is very sturdy and I expect it to last a long time. I carry mine in my pocket. I used to take it out to answer it and my finger would press the "end call" button. This case solves that problem.

It's bendable, twistable...but if I dig my nail in it, it doesn't leave an impression, which is why I have difficulty with the buttons on the phone but I've gotten used to it. It doesn't add bulk to the phone and for the price it works well. Hope this helps.

Umm it seems to work good I mean don't swing it around crazily like but my mom did drop hers (after a while) and it broke the corner of what the phone attaches to it but now I have to get her a new one, but she loved it! So it was really worth it but just make sure it's closed and everything should be fine ! I hope you'll enjoys yours as much as my mom did!

The flap is not removable, if that's what you mean. And it doesn't bend all the way back around since the case is so thick. But you can talk on the phone with the flap shut.

It folds over easily enough to make a call. You can easily take the phone out but I wouldn't recommend it. You can loosen that piece so that it will eventually stretch and might not he the phone. But that's up to your preference of course.
