what keeps it closed? Does the cover drop open on its own?

The top has a leather covered piece of spring steel, bent to hold it closed.

No it doesn't. There is a tab at the top that keeps the flap secured. I open mine many times a day and it still holds securely.

There is a small lip at the top of the front cover which engages the top of the phone to hold it closed. I am very happy with this case for it's looks and protection...it has held up very well.

No the little clip on the end holds it close. You just flip it off the edge to open.I have really liked this case. It was a good value and has the held up well in my purse. Have to open cover to charge phone though. Charger plug does not fit well through opening in case.

It has a magnet. It's strong enough to keep it closed, but easy enough to open with one hand.

no cover has to stay open to be on cover does come off if u don't want to put it on

no. the front cover is a tri- fold and is weighted, so when you close it stays closed.its almost like its a magnet.

It stays closed by magnets, which are rather strong. I travel 2 weeks a month for work and take mine with me. Never had an issue with it NOT staying closed.

There isn't a magnet to keep it close, but mine stays mostly closed. I just flip the cover behind the back to keep it open.

I believe ours opens fully. When we use the power switch to open it, it has never hit the cover.

It does but I suspect that this is because it's still quite new and the lid is still stiff. Once I really break it in I think it will be able to stay open on its own. Overall it's a lovely piece and quite useful. I highly recommend it.

It folds back nicely but it doesn't stay closed as there is no latch. I missed say the one time I did drop it, it landed like a teepee with the cover slightly open.

It doesn't seem to stay folded on its own. The cover will flop down if you pick up just the top half.

Yes it does. I can hold it and shake it and it stays closed. The cover folds back very nicely too. Very easy to hold when reading.

Yes. Mine closes well. I guess you need to ensure yhe back cover is properly closed.

There is no mechanism to keep it closed. In the beginning, it wouldn't even close anyway, it stayed kind of open. Over a few weeks, the front cover has loosened up a bit, allowing it to close all the way, but there is nothing to keep it over the screen. I really dislike this--when I drop it, the case comes open. On the plus side, it will stand up with the front folded back, in landscape mode.

I have n idea how it stays closed. But so far it has stayed closed for me. Never had a problem with it opening unless I made it open.

Yes, it is kind of magnetic and stays closed pretty securely. It has never fallen open when I didn't want it to. Just the right amount of tightness...still opens with ease

It does not. When closed, it is held shut by some fairly weak magnets, but when open, does not do any sort of locking.

It stays closed just fine even though it does not have a locking mechanism. Plus you can pop it right off if you want to use touch only, then pop it right back on for serious typing.
