What keeps the HD 8.9" cover closed, a magnetic closure, elastic band, ...?

I am really not sure but it seems to be a magnetic closure but it has an awake feature on it. When you close the lid it puts the tablet to sleep and when you open it the tablet turns on as long as you do not power it off. I think it is magnetic.

Hi! I recommend buying the incase cover that zips on top if you have a hard shell case. Otherwise it's a really tight fit. You can also keep your power cord in the case too which is nice for travel. Hope this helps.

The cover is supposed to be magnetic to help keep cover closed...It does not...

Elastic strap. I think it has a magnet switch it on but it does not keep it closed.

It is not a magnetic cover. It has a little suction cup and this is how it stays closed. I think that a proximity sensor shuts down the screen once cover is closed, but you do need to unlock it upon opening..

There is a little tab on the front of mine which catches when you close the cover. Hope this helps.

It has a magnetic closure that turns off the screen when you close it. It stays shut when you close it.

Its a small magnetic clasp. It does not stay closed as much as it should. The case is nice, however, it provides zero protection against drops or falls. Its more of a cosmetic accessory than serious protection.

I don't think that feature is available with this model. I certainly don't see that happening. The cover stays closed with just a small magnet. I always press the power button.

The closure is magnetic. This is better for me since I often fold the front flap around to the back and the magnetic part keeps the flap/cover from just hanging in the way. This is good for games or extended texting.

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

There are two magnets, one on top and one one the bottom, of the cover that holds it closed. I've never had a problem with it coming open unintentionally.

There is a magnet that helps keep it closed but there is not one to keep it open. It does not have the elastic strap either. The only time I notice it is when I use the hand strap (seldomly and I am at my desk during most use) while holding the tablet up off of the table. If you need to be able to move the tablet around while using, this may not be the case for you..

There isn't an elastic strap but I don't think there are magnets either. The case stays pretty much in place but does slide a bit. It isn't too much of an issue though and I think for the price the quality is good. Overall I've been very happy with 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.

It has a magnet but after I folded it open I could only get it to stay closed with the elastic strap.

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.
