Does the case actually close and lock in the closed position? I have a Logitech that doesn't actually stay closed and can come open at some angles.

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

It does stay closed.....but it isn't locked, I think it's held by magnets , and needs to be pulled apart to be opened. Hope this helps.

It stays closed by magnets, which are rather strong. I travel 2 weeks a month for work and take mine with me. Never had an issue with it NOT staying closed.

I noticed it a couple times but i had the opposite problem on the Airbender 2.0 where the case does not close. If you're carrying this in your hand a lot, I'd prefer to have to fidget with the release than have it flopping everytime I move.

There is an option in settings where you have to activate it so that it locks with the case. I'm not sure which part in settings it is, I'm sorry :/ (might be in general where the auto lock option is)

Mine stayed closed so well I had to loosen it a bit so I could flip it open easier. You should have no problems. (:

Dear Tigerman82, Overall I love this keyboard and have only 2 minor issues to report. The screen lock key is directly above the delete key and I occasionally hit it by accident. I don't think any key should be on the top right except delete... Also, the space key occasionally sticks in the depressed position. It still functions properly when touched, but it doesn't make the reassuring little click that tells my brain it is going to work. I do not know if this is a defect in just my model or in others too. It is rare anyway, and always pops back up eventually. There are so many wonderful aspects of this product that I don't worry too much about those issues. Number one on that list is how securely the keyboard attaches to the iPad in the closed position. I have never had it slip open or off by accident like similar products by Logitech and others I have used. The backlighting is extremely nice, and the battery lasts seemingly forever. As to your specific question about your screen protector and backing, I am unfamiliar with either product and therefore unable to answer without knowing the total added width they bring to your device. I can tell you that the slot on the top of the keyboard used to stand the device in while typing has some extra room... and I believe if your screen protector doesn't add more that a millimeter of width, it would still work. If it adds a little more than that, I believe it might work, but would stand in a more upright position (rather than the slightly tilted position it is designed to be in). Wider than that and you would have to prop up the device some other way, as it definitely would not fit, though the keyboard would of course still work. I do believe that you would still be able to use the device in its closed position, but can't say for sure. Hope that helps

It does not lock in place. It just comes out and sits there. My wife has been using it with a mouse for 4 months and loves it. She has not noted a problem with it moving while she is typing...She is writer so does a lot of typing. If it were a problem, I'd just make catch for it since it is a solid useful tray as is...Hope this helps. Frank

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers.I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

There's a magnet that hold the case closed. I've never dropped mine, but it feels relatively secure.

It does not lock open but I have no problem with it. My laptop keyboard stopped responding so I just lay it on the keyboard and it works fine.

If you have the high res. display like I have the case will not close unless you bend the locking tab. I have done this on mine and I am very satisfied with this case. Good case for the money.

It does close tightly with two latches. We have had the case tumble off of furniture and tip over numerous times. It is transported in luggage to sleepovers and never has the bands gotten mixed up when it is closed.

It does have a lock and it is on the side of the keyboard and it snaps closed. It says "push" to unfold it.

Hello - The case can be a bit stiff to open. You may need to hold down on the lower level while opening the top and it will feel kind of like a pop or release to open it fully. This is a good feature in case you accidentally forget to lock the top flap down then your equipment isn't as likely to fall out completely. It's part of the safety features of the case, not a malfunction. Hope this helps.
