How are the lids kept from coming off? Looks like some kind of spring clip..

The spring clip on mine is a little off center, but seals nicely when I being the lid down and clamp the clip down in place. The rubber seal is quite thin, but seems to do the job.

I guess it is some type of spring clip. The metal piece where your thumb goes is super thin and will bend easily if the lid isn't on completely straight. As long as you have the lid on straight, it closes pretty easily.

Yes, it's like a spring clip. Don't try to snap it down too far. Snap it down until the lid closes. You will break it it you try to snap it further than it is meant to go. Hope this helps.

Yes. The lid clamps down and seals easily. I have not opened it frequently and so do not know about the wear factors, that some other reviewers have mentioned.

The spring clip is coming off ... it wasn't working very well to start with, and we can tell it will soon break.

It just doesn't fit properly- I have another similar-looking canister that I didn't buy online and the lid fits fine. With this one I have to try really hard to close the lid so there's no openings- too hard to do. Do not buy this canister.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. If you are referring to lifting off the lid, you just pull up on the side snaps to release them. If you are referring to the suction that is created from closing the lid? I would just lift the lid off -- never had a problem with that.

I'm holding the lid and not seeing a way that it would come apart. The lid appears to be made of 2 hard plastic pieces, one that twists inside the other and a soft rubber ring fits around the base and tightens the seal when the lid is turned.

The lids snap on. They have a nice rubber seal that holds in everything.....I've tipped it over at work and no spills!!!

The lids are not snap ons like a Rubbermaid container. Along the inside edge of the lid there is a recessed band of a foam type material that makes an air tight fit when the top is latched down onto the container portion.

There are little edges that prevent the laptop from sliding off. No clips are required. The design is very minimal and functional. We were having a problem with laptops overheating in the office. This was a great solution for my team. They all use 15" MacBook Pros. I hope this helps you.**I should mention that I did not put them together. There may have been clips, but I don't think so.

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

The mounting clips attach to the air vent louvers with a spring loaded clip. It's kinda tricky getting the clips on the vent louvers but it stays put once you do. The clips are kinda delicate too so if you hit them accidentally, they will break. I've bought replacement clips on Amazon as well when mine broke.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

Press down on the Release button and then pull off. It is a bit rough at 1st but you will get it. Also, it helps if you hold opposite diagonal corners to pull off the lid.

Snap. We have no problem with the lid coming off. But we also gave others that screw on.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

Same happened with mine and my daughter's. The retaining clip is supposed to be held in the lock position by a tiny spring which only lasts a few months. Great idea, cheap design. Worth improving the design to make a real product. Otherwise it's a cheap gimmick just like it looks.

Paul. The clips are spring loaded and can be pushed just far enough to disengage them from the vent. I had the same problem and used a small screwdriver to push one side at a time to disengage them from the vent. Hope this will help.

Yes, the lids are on hinged "Clips" that can be removed, thus removing the entire lid assembly.

It's got a "bayonet" lock. The type where you twist is slightly to lock it. It doesn't work real well, but having the lid come off has never been a problem.

They are Carabiner clips like you use for rock climbing or keyrings. You press them to open up and release it to spring closed. Very secure.
