can you comment on the way the flaps close. does the larger compartment close like a belt buckle or just snaps close. i am worried about the snaps o

The snaps are strong and I took off the buckles Which are attached with a snap anyway the buckle just may give you more space? Not very practical and added weight.

Their is a zipper and then a draw string. Things are super snug and sturdy.

Hi. The straps close more like a belt buckle. I have used it many times and no problems at all.

It flips back easily and will stay that way if you lay it on the cover. I have mine open a lot so then it will only stay closed all the way if you lay it on the cover closed. It does stay closed inside my purse and that is where I was worried about it being scratched. I have never dropped it but could probably land open or closed. No there isn't a latch.

It has a snap. Very snug. I was thinking about how velcro or a magnet might work, and I do believe I would prefer a magnet but because you can carry some ID and a few cards, the snap is more secure.

It's a magnet closure and unless you don't have a lot of stuff in the middle compartment it doesn't stay closed. It's a downside. If it tips in the car or anywhere else, stuff comes out. Should have been a zip top.

Dear client, the front flap is closed with two snap fasteners ,which are under the decorations (belt fasteners).So when you pick up the bag by handle ,the flap won't open.Hope it is of help.There is someting wrong with the bag's description online and we have corrected them.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

It is buckle closure but personally buckles are better because the bag expands. Magnets will not ensure safety of your equipment.

No, the one I got for my mom seems to stay closed nicely. The leather and fabric don't seem to be too rigid so, that shouldn't be an issues either.

Zipper closes the entire bag, largest compartment, if you want it closed...otherwise just flap over the top...it stays shut without havng to snap it. But conveniently it does zipper and nothing will ever fall out if dropped of for any other reason the bag would be on its side or upside down!

I wanted to add to my earlier answer after reading the other answer out there that thought it would be a problem. The buckle is very stout and does not come undone unless the release buttons are both pushed simultaneously. I use this for deer hunting in Wisconsin in the winter, and carry 5-10 lbs in it including ammo, knives, camera, lunch, water, etc. This is the second one of these I've owned and got the second because after 15 years of heavy use, the canvas was starting to rip around one zipper because I stuff too much into it. I can't explain why the other responder indicated the buckle was weak, perhaps they have a different bag?

To be truthful I haven't looked into it. I decided that the best way to insure that the case doesn't open during transport on the airlines, etc. was to use two side release nylon belts. Good luck. By the way , when the package originally arrived one of the clasps was broken off, lacking in quality!

It has snaps. The flaps have two snaps each, one over the other to allow for longer and shorter magazines.

There are snaps on the top flap, and they snap very strong. You have to give a good, solid tug to release them. Very happy with this item.

Mine is on a MacBook pro 13'' the case fits somewhat tight and does protect the aluminum MacBook case from dents and normal wear scratches and such. I got the cover more to aid in travel protection on flights and such. At school it has I feel contributed preserving the MacBook quit well. Here I not only carry it in the wrap around case (model A1278) but I also use a case logic case, for carrying around in my backpack. Note that in the first part I said fits somewhat well. It is not a tights snapping case, but it is the tightest snap on case that I was able to find. One of the drawbacks is on my lid one of the clips that holds it is right at the point where one sticks a thumb to pry open the lid, which at times has been a nuisances to which I feel is a design flaw. Others wraps or cases that I researched did not have as many clips as this model does to hold it on the MacBook as secure. Hope this helps.

The snaps on the bag are easy to open, but not so easy to close. However, there's a zip closing the compartment that you would put the camera in and a drawstring closing the top where you could put loose things, so you won't loose anything as you travel. Though because of this design it's hard to quickly pack and take out your camera.

I would not cut the flaps off, they seem to get a little easier after some use. I love the cover.

It closes well but there is a tendency for lint buildup around the edges. The flap is light weight and if you allow lint build-up it won't close well for you. That's probably true of just about any vent. If I had to buy this one over again, I would.

The front flap is magnetic. It has a well designed swivel clip on the back which will not come off your belt without some effort. The back clip is not hoop and loop either. It is heavy duty plastic. I found it much easier to unbuckle my belt and slide it off. This is the only clip that I have found which will not come of the belt accidentally.
