how secure is the "latch" that holds the compartment closed? Is it strong enough that it will remain closed in case you bump that part on something?

Yes it is very secure, it's never opened up on me but the little piece of rubber connected to latch did come apart but it didn't affect anything falling out...I'd also recommend googling The Safe Wallet. It's a kick starter project I ordered my new case from. It's a really cool case..hope that helped

Yes, but if you have more than cards in there you cannot close it. Eyn has a larger case with a more secure closure and more space, but it is bigger. Worth looking at.

The only time it ever opens is when I drop it. I've had mine for months and I'm kinda rough with my stuff. It never opens unless I want it to.

Yeah. It's pretty secure. It gets a little looser over time and it's less tight if you have more than a card or two in it. I never had anything fall out though.
1837277
Yes, as long as you have no more than 2 or 3 cards in the compartment. I've never had the case open when I didn't want it to. I absolutely love this case!!

The door and latch are very secure and it has infinite amounts of uses. I always get that case is sweet where do I get one.

I haven't had problems opening or closing. Id say as long as the door latches its secure but it can be adjusted to your liking

It is VERY secure! There is a sturdy encasement that holds it in place. I have had zero issues with this case. I love it!

I believe it is strong and secure. We use the cable it came with and it seems very strong steel cable. If someone really wants it open, then they will open it. But a quick smash and grab would be hard pressed if it was locked down.

It doesn't stay closed on the "open" side...no. I put it into a carrier when I take it anywhere, so it doesn't matter to me. I adore this unit.

No issue if folded all they way and locked with the hinge. But if folded partially it will Close

It doesn't latch or spring shut, but I haven't had any problems with it opening. I keep it in my purse, and I haven't noticed any items sliding inside the cover either and my purse has a lot of stuff in it. Maybe the pressure from the other items keeps it shut.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

Its secure. there is a spring loaded tab that holds it in. you would have to bang it real hard to get it to fall out. If the airplane or train lurches that hard, your iPad is the least of your problems.

While the latch operation is thrown by the Key operation, It is a magnet which keeps the door closed when unlocked. Don't forget to lock it, you will loose everything if it weighs more than a couple of pounds. Other than that, not a bad cabinet in comparison to most of the crap they are selling these day.

When locked it takes some force to opne. No worries it won't break just give it a good strong pull and it'll open.

I tried it and it stayed shut. you have to push the button for it to open. if it falls on the button, rom a good height it might open. I think its pretty safe though

the cover latches down from the inside, so if you tailgate locks, it is more secure, but it doesnt have a lock. My GMC has a locking tailgate, so not a big issue.

It does have two small magnets that hold it closed. I imagine on rougher terrain it will bounce open and closed a lot. The back side of the lock has a prong that does the majority of the securing, but the lock must be engaged.

Yes, it closes tightly, strong to sit on, stays shut. Only problem is the system that holds the lid in the back is weak and breaks easily. It is only screws that feel weak and rust.

The latches snap closed securely and there is one tab in between that a lock can go. I love them and will buy 3 more.

No. There is no place to secure it and it wouldn't close nicely if you had it sitting in there.
