Does the black band on the front keep the cover closed or is it just a cosmetic feature?

The cover is magnetic so it does hold its self shut. The band does wrap around and hold it shut for extra security.

It is elastic and will stretch around it. I don't know how long it will last but it feels strong.

I can honestly say that I have not had that problem at all. The cover snaps onto the back. It's light enough that you don't have that issue.

The leather cover is permanently attached to the plastic case the the iphone actually snaps in to. Once closed on the front, I've found it stays closed in my pocket very well. I've never had it slide open while in my pocket. I also frequently have it sitting on my desk at home and at work with the cover closed....and it stays closed. It is not necessary for the cover to snap or latch closed to keep the front of the iphone protected. I've recommended this to several of my friends....who love it as well. Hope that helps you decide.

As far as I know the cover still has the magnet closure. It has no affect on the function of the tablet.

The cover is indeed secured when folded back. You use the same buckle that you use to secure the cover when it is in front.

1. It has a wooden frame you just press it into the frame and there's little rubber grips in the corner that keep it in. It does not slide in. 2. The little rubber grips keep it in place. when you close it you can wrap the band around the covers3. The cover is pretty hard I throw it in my purse in my backpack all the time when I travel.

Yes it does, I'm not sure if you can see the photo of what I bought but, the little black tab looking thing on the side sticking up is that. The the black band is what you flip over and us to tie it closed like a band.

It's to lock the ipad when it is closed. While closing pull the band and place it around the non attached side

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

This cover comes with an elastic band which when wrapped around the device will provide enough tension to keep the cover from setting off the active/non-active tones. Personally I don't use the elastic band because I open/close the case too often to deal with the 3-5 seconds of hassle multiple times per day. If you don't use the band, yes, the device will go active/non-active if the cover is moved more than 1/4". If it is just the noise that bothers you you can turn down your notification volume level. If having the screen come on randomly bothers you, you can turn your screen timeout down to minimum settings.

No it doesn't! But I'll tell you, I love mine. And I get a ton of compliments. The good thing the front sticks out more so it stops it from getting scratched! Love mine.

Good question. Thin magnets keep the cover closed. It also helps in keeping it open and folded back, when the tablet is positioned on a table in landscape position.

It has a zipper that closes all the way around. The front flap can be left unlocked, if you wish. It has a locking clasp that slides in easily. It's a WONDERFUL case. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Gravity keeps the cover closed. You really have to break in the cover to make it close fully though. The magnet is to wake and sleep the screen when you open and close the cover.

There isn't a strap to keep it closed which was something I was concerened about as well. Instead there are two small magnets on the right side of the case that holds the cover shut.

The elastic strap is another safe-guard to hold the cover shut, even though the cover is magnetic. You shut the tablet and flip the band from the back over the edge of the front cover. The interior is gray (suede) with brown leather accents like the outside of the tablet cover.

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.
