What keeps the case closed? Is there a magnet that makes sure the case doesn't open?

There isn't a magnet keeping the case closed, but it does stay shut. From what I know, the Nexus 4 doesn't have a magnet in it that would keep it closed anyways. But overall gravity works just fine to keep it 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.

No, mine does not have a magnetic lock to keep it closed. The magnets are on the other side, like binding on a book. I had not noticed because I carry it like a book and I keep it in a padded, zipped and fitted case.

The case stays closed by a magnet embedded in the flap. So you know, my case lasted about a year before the swivel came loose from the case. Not bad considering the price.

A magnet. It's a sturdy little piece - I haven't had any issues with it staying closed

The cover has magnets in it. I just picked it up, turned it upside-down, and shook it. It remained closed. Hope this helps.

Yes it does have magnets. It is good for keeping the top closed and it won't open unexpectedly! If is an awesome case!!

It is magnetic and stays closed, but there is not a magnetic latch or anything that I see.

Karen; the case has a magnetic closer that holds it closed. It has done a good job for me.

It has magnets that keep the cover closed. There are no straps or latches on it. It does not turn your tablet on when opened and I don't know if it turns it off or just allows it to "sleep" when closed. Usually when I close mine, I am finished for the time being. Hope this helps. I love my case and am glad I purchased it. It is a great value for the cost!

This closes with a magnet, and stays well closed. I have not had any problems with it. And the phone is well secured with the inside case.

It has a powerful magnet that keeps it closed. No snap. But it stays closed.

It has magnets that keeps it closed. I carry mine in my purse and have had no problem with it opening.

The cover is supposed to be magnetic to help keep cover closed...It does not...

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.

It is magnetic and stays closed. It will also turn on and off the screen when you open and close it!

This case has a magnet on the top to keep it closed until you want to use it.
