How do you keep the front flip 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.

You don't. That is one of the (features) that wasn't engineered very well. No reason why a velcro strip couldn't have been incorporated into the design but it obviously wasn't.

The front flip does not have a magnetic clip or anything, so it does not stay closed by itself. I mostly have the device in my pocket when not in use so it is not an issue. When lying face-up, the flip is usually about 1/2 cm ajar unless something is on top of it.

The metal clasp flips up and you slinde it in and close the metal clasp. Hope that helps.

On the front vertical shaft there is a small lever. Flip that up and then the stem that the lever is on top of will swing forward and down. After you swing it down you have to push the stem to the left to retract a small pin that allows the vertical shaft the fold to the rear.

I just fold the flaps back and when I'm done, they fold right on back to it's original place and the magnet snaps them closed. I've been doing this since I've had it and there's really no "wear or tear" to the outside from folding back and forth either.

Hello Andrea, We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The flip made does not use a magnet, and it stays closed like a book. Sincerely, SPIGEN SGP

it will autoclose but I don't see why you can't just flip it around 180 degrees and to have it open on the other side.

Make sure all the metal clips at the top have been opened then give a twist. That is what I have found to work for me.

Unscrew it partially. Do not take screw completely out. Then push it in an it will release a catch. Then you can swing the front open.

You can undo the Velcro And let the sides hang open. It stays open very well like that.

There is a clip inside that engages when you open . You need to pull it to the side with a fingernail as you are closing it back up.

Just turn clip part till you get it to open enough to be tight when you clamp it shut.

There is a flap on the top near the front. You just snap it open, fill it, and snap it closed. Couldn't be easier.

I had a difficult time even to get mine to lock and stay closed. In my opinion, it's useless for the flip camera. Other than that, it would probably work. You might need to tape it shut or something.

There is a small ratchet type device with a tightening screw in it right where your right thumb should be. Squeeze the handles and flip the ratchet to the right and it is no longer locked! Flip it back when you finish. It loosens up somewhat after use.

It flips open very easily...if it will not open then try the other side. It doesn't snap, just opens & closes.

Turn knob on the left as you are facing the top. it will fall open at that point.
