Could I use these as a closure in a purse? They'd be between leather folds (both magnets), would they hold through the leather (fairly thick)?

I used them to hold a leather flap closed on my hiking boots and to hold my multi-tool case closed. They work great. I do think they come with a warning about credit cards and electronic equipment proximity though. These are definitely not "craft" magnets.

It closes with magnets? I carry mine in my purse and have never had a problem with its coming open.

The opening for the holder is very small so I would say that you should try it, but maybe one that had a closure over the top would work better for you.

The magnetic closure only works when you close the cover. It does not have magnets on the back of the case so that when you fold it over it doesn't hold the cover to the back of the case. I love my cover. I have several.

I had to return it because I ordered the wrong size so I can't answer your question honestly for this particular model. However, my boyfriend has a similar magnetic closure case for his iPad and has never complained about it opening in his bag.

If the pens are not too thick, the pouch will probably hold them without trouble. The pouch will look "filled", of course, but you'll be able to roll it and tie it (i.e. close it).

Probably not. These magnets are fairly weak. That is just my opinion, but I find these to barely be able to hold themselves to a surface, let alone hold anything.

I don't understand what the point of the magnetic flap on the cover would be. Perhaps you could offer your thoughts? The magnets are on the casing itself, and the entire outer segment of the cover is a magnet. The cover closes very securely without issue when these two meet.

Good question. I will conduct an experiment and let you know. I don't know how strong these are in quantitative terms but they are pretty damn strong for such tiny magnets.

Perhaps you can jimmy some belts to stay on there but the plastic tabs that holds the ties in place are probably not strong or flexible enough to accommodate a belt (that is much thicker than a tie). I thought about using this for my belts myself but then decided against it.

No closure but it's a steal. Very nice quality leather so I bought 3. Hope that helps!

I used them with sheer door panels and they were fine as far as thickness goes. The magnets were not strong enough to allow you to pull the sheers taut. If you just place them so they are not under too much tension, they are fine.

Either will work but the magnets are very strong and holds really well. I had one for years and just bought one as a gift for my son.

These are very thin. I used them on the bottom of a bookcase, and if I didn't know they were there, I wouldn't be able to tell. My opinion--go for it! I don't think it will be a problem!

Yes, of course. But it's fairly thick, so not really ideal for keeping in a pants pocket. It would probably be fine in a pocketbook or portfolio. The magnet in the cover flap provides a nice, positive, tactile closure.

I assumed they were just for decoration, but it would be possible to pass a strap or charger cord through them. They wouldn't accommodate a buckle or plug.

Thanks for contacting us with your question. The studded bag has a magnetic closure underneath the leather, and holds very well.
