Can the case fold on its self or is the spine too sturdy to alow this?

Hey. The case does fold back over on itself. The spine doesn't fold but its built to be folded back and held one-handed.

Over time, the spine will alow more flex and can essentially fold the front and back as much as possible; however, the back has a molded edging that the phone sits into. So you won't be able to get it any thinner then that. Let me know of this doesn't answer your question. I love my case and am still using it until I receive a new case that is still in development.

Yes, I fold mine in on itself - it's the BEST case around, and I've tried most.

The case will fold back on itself to allow you to talk on the phone if that's what you are asking.

I have taken it camping only twice now but have not had a problem with it folding on its own. You just need to be aware that it will fold if you put pressure on the top so always grab by the handle or under the rim.

Yes, you can fold the cover back very easily. I use it that way most of the time. There is no excess bulk at all and it feels very comfortable.

i can't promise you perfect back, spine health, etc but we have this sitting on a hard wood box. note that this comes folded in half and rolled up (and vacuum packed)... once you take it out of its plastic wrap it takes its shape very well

Yes, it folds quite nicely, but bear in mind that it is not a suitcase, and won't work as one if you are intending to use it as luggage.

Just bend the case a little, it wont break unless you probably are too rough. But it easy

Use your strength and just do it... I though I would break mine trying too hard to unfold it, but no. It will get easier to fold/unfold over time.

Not really, once it's up and functional I would doubt that it would be easy to fold and get out of your way. I keep mine up and use it daily.

The support given by the flap in the back is not very sturdy. You may have some issues with it.

Yes it folds and no damage but will not stay folded unless you hold it down.

I have not tried to bend it that much. I would be afraid to deform the case. Im sure it would touch end to end though.

Pretty much. But you cannot tell it once the piece is assembled. I have had several of these bookcases and the back is not a problem. Unfortunately, this is one of the ways they keep the costs down. But the bookcase is sound and holds a lot. At home, mine are loaded with books and we have not had a problem. Your problem with heavy loads would be with the shelves bending but it has to be a really, really heavy load. Like I said mine is loaded with heavy books and they do fine.

Kiiiiiinda? I'd say "not really," but if you're setting the phone on a really grippy surface or put something behind the tip of the back flap to keep it from sliding, then it will stand up. If the cover is completely folded over, the "spine" doesn't make an angle worth talking about.I found propping the phone up in portrait mode is good when you are using the speaker or want to easily hear the phone ring.I too love this case ;)

It folds for storage, however I don't think that I would say EASILY. It's still quite bulky when it's folded. HOWEVER, I have a 16 y.o. Daughter with sever back problems, this has been amazing for her...well worth the space that it takes up!

Yes. It's a really nice case, I usually use it in the stand up position, but do fold it back on occasion. I bought another one in red and I use it everyday.

I just fold it back the hinge doesn't seem to be weakened at all by this. I haven't talked with the cover closed yet so I don't know how hard that would be . My opinion is that it's well made

It's quite firm. I do not think it would be damaged as long as you didn't try to fold it in half.
