There is not a "latch" type lock to keep it closed but the top lid will lock in the open position. There are two brass handles which you have probably seen in the photos. The coolers are great. I have 2 and they keep drinks cold in the Dallas heat. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Stephan

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.

It closes fairly securely. I don't know if the laptop would come out if dropped, I try never to drop mine!

It has a magnet that keeps the case closed. I purchased this as a gift for someone and she LOVES it! She has had no complaints at all.

Its a metal latch that lifts up....when you push it back it drops in a slot to lock! Very sturdy.

Yes, there are magnets in the case. No, it does not close with a latch or strap. I have not experienced turning on and off whenever the case was opened or closed.

I don't know. The case looks good but does not shut easily. It takes work to get it closed up.

This closes with a magnet, and stays well closed. I have not had any problems with it. And the phone is well secured with the inside case.

The strap thingy holds the case closed. The random small part sticking out is used to hold the Surface up in the standing position.

All of the latches have a screw on the side of the machine that holds the outer cover. The bottem screw on the right can be tightened too much making it difficult to close the door without making a loud snapping noise. There are two ways to solve the problem. The first is to loosen the screw about a half turn and the second is to press the release mechanism before closing the door which takes the pressure off of the latch completely as you close the door. Care in using the door mechanism solves the problem. If you have difficulty closing or opening the door, loosen the screw until the door opens easily then tighten it a quarter turn. If you adhere to this procedure the door problem is eliminated. It is really a great microwave.

There is a magnetic clip the close the case. When you close up the case it locks your screen. It also unlocks your screen when you open the case.

The latch is a cable system that can be released from either side. When you pull the cable it releases a pin that opens the cover.

Yes, it does. But the case is very badly designed. Once you opened it and took the tools out then it is very difficult to put the tools back in and still able to close the lid and shut the latch! It seems that the tools can only be put in and packed one way (the way they came from the factory) and if they were just put back in casually then the lid cannot be easily closed! I was amazed when I first found that out and subsequently I seldom had time to fool around with the hard case.

Yes. It closes all the way. Love the case. Very durable and professional looking.

I should have included that in my review. An improved latch would be good. I don't think you're missing anything; it is not easy to open. But, I kind of like the solid feel that gives the case.

It is not self closing/latchhing. What I have done is to attach a bunge cord to it to make it self closing.
