Is a magnet used to close the case or an elastic strap? Magnets create dead spots in the Wacom digitizer. Also, does the case fold completely over?

Yes a magnet is used to close the case. It can stand up in two positions that works well for taking notes in meetings. The case folds over the screen and stays closed due to the magnet. It is a good case for the price.

It uses magnets (and my tablet "sleeps" when it detects that it has closed). For the folding...yep, completely folds closed and open (and into a "tall" and "short" stand).

There are three magnets along the top of the case, I do not see any issues with the digitizer as they are all approximately one inch away from the writing surface. The magnets are on the hard case side, not the flexible lid and yes it does fold completely over. You can even fold it into itself, so that it only occupies the place where your hand is holding and will not flap down behind the tablet.

A magnet is used to hold the cover closed. I have not noticed any reception difference. Yes it folds completely over.

It was a gift for my dad so I'm not sure. All I can say is that I haven't heard from him that there is a problem.

A magnet is used to secure the case, there are 2 small magnets (about the diameter of a pencil) in a flap on the outside of the case The case folds over and the flap folds over the outside of the case. The flap makes contact with the keyboard portion of the case ( which ust have a metal plate inside) so it is not in direct contact with the keyboard or the tablet. The keyboard portion of the case is about 1/2 inch thick and is padded so the magnet flap does not make cntact with the tablet. The case does fold over completely in half so the keyboard would be on the table surface side and the tablet would be on top.

No magnet to hold the case closed, but closing the case does turn off the screen. Also, the strap allows you to keep the case open when holding the tablet.

I actually have not had any issues using my s - pen with this case. There is a magnetic flap the closes the case, however I'm not sur how that would affect the s-pen. It hasn't affected affected the usage at all. Hope that helps

It uses magnet to close. I have never had a case use anything else. I really love this case and the inside is rubber not hard plastic.

Hi yes, the cover uses magnets to keep the cover closed and turn the pad on when you open it. I've never noticed any interference. Works like a champ. I like this cover a lot more than the stock origami cover Amazon wants to match up with the Kindle Fire HDX. The origami cover felt weird to open, like it was peeling up in pieces. This cover looks and feels great, and gets a lot of positive comments. A super value at a third the cost of the origami cover.

The elastic strap fits over keyboard, if yours has one. The small elastic strap is holder for stylus pen.

the flap does not fold completely flat. the flap has a crease about an inch and a half in from the spine. when folded back, the spine also folds back. So there is an angle from the spine down to the crease. As a result about 2/3 of the flap folds flat. If you're right handed it's basically flat. If you're left handed, there's like a half inch extra thickness as it angles down from the folded back spine. The magnets do nothing to hold the flap when folded back. They only hold the flap when closed. The also trigger the auto sleep mode when closed. Not the best case if you're concerned about bulk but your tablet definitely won't fall out. Holds it very sung for sure.

I returned this case. It was defective because the magnet was too strong and it kept turning off my IPAD with the cover open. They did not cover return shipping either. Really annoying. I think it snapped into the case but I would not buy this if I were you. The Fintie makes a good case. That's what I ended up with and I love it. Good Luck!

It has a magnet, you should be fine. Never had an issue. It's a perfect case for the tablet (as long as you don't have young kids using it!).

The one I have has a magnetic closure, I find no functionality problems.I really like mine, it is thin and neat. Seems to be good quality.

It looks to me like the slim tabs at the centers of the open edges hold magnetic components. These work just fine to keep the cover closed. Somehow they also turn off my kindle screen when shut. BTW- I love the sleekness of this cover- it's easy on the hands and feels like it was made as one with the Kindle..

There is a magnet, but because of the ability to rotate and the flexibility of the spine of the case, sometimes the magnet doesn't align perfectly with the magnets on the iPad. Make sure that it lines up and use the elastic to hold it closed and it works fine. As one commenter said, look at the top after it's closed and check that the light is out. This is a great case.

When the keyboard is attached the case is kept closed by a magnet. When the keyboard is not attached there is nothing assisting the flap to stay closed. It remains closed however like any other note pad.

No. I had this case for my last phone as well, and have not had any problems with de-magnetizing. I would mention that pulling them in and out can cause wear on cards so I position accordingly
