I don't like the fact that they left out a magnetic flap on the cover. Has anyone tried modding the case?

I don't understand what the point of the magnetic flap on the cover would be. Perhaps you could offer your thoughts? The magnets are on the casing itself, and the entire outer segment of the cover is a magnet. The cover closes very securely without issue when these two meet.

Maybe the magnets are out of line. My cover hasn't ever given me any problems. Maybe you can exchange it for another one that works better. Good luck!

No way to expand the cover. Mine worked very well. I still have an issue with the hole in the case not lining up with the wrist strap and eating away at the case.

I have the same issue and have not been able to find a cover anywhere. Please let me know if you find one.

No. I've not had a problem with that. The magnetic closer keeps it in place well. Plus the keyboard is removable if you worry about that.

I returned this case. It was defective because the magnet was too strong and it kept turning off my IPAD with the cover open. They did not cover return shipping either. Really annoying. I think it snapped into the case but I would not buy this if I were you. The Fintie makes a good case. That's what I ended up with and I love it. Good Luck!

Interesting. I haven't had any problem with it. I just press one side of the clear cover and pivot it up. Pressing on both side makes it a bit more challenging.

Yes. There is decently strong magnet in the flap and the case. There are a couple of different ways you can position it. I always had it as pictured, but flipped upside down.

I am using the cooler master hyper 212 eevo I had to mod the case by relocating the fan on the side from the inside to the outside I did not like the other models and am very satisfied with the way it looks...I got the method from googling a search for the case and fan. On that forum the guy who did it had pics as well as instructions...I am sure anyone who builds PCs. Can figure out how to do it with out pics...good luck... floyd h

I ignored all of the bits and pieces that came with the cover. I discarded the plastic sheet. Then by some miracle I put my IPad down onto the back half of the cover and the magnets held it in place. It's really nifty once its attached.

I highly doubt it, unless you do some major modding to it. I could be wrong of course, I didn't really examine it closely if it can be removable, or easily removable. I'll crack open my case sometime soon and check it out. i'll update this answer

I don't think that feature is available with this model. I certainly don't see that happening. The cover stays closed with just a small magnet. I always press the power button.

Hi,To be real honest, no. You actually have to take it out of the case. You could make a small modification like I did. I just trimmed the material that was an obstruction. That was my best way of solving the issue. I hope tthis info helps. - Joel

Yes it's unfortunately a known issue. I modified mine by clipping the thin piece of black plastic just above the power button completely away. Removing this piece of plastic does not seem to affect the integrity or function of the case as mine works great now.

The magnets in mine made my paperwhite constantly malfunction. No matter how I had the cover it would sporadically turn on and off or get stuck on sleep mode.

I haven't had a problem with either flap. After I'm done using either USB or earphone jack, the flaps always tuck right back into place.I don't recommend cutting them off, but some people have a problem with them.I say just try it out and if you don't mind them, keep them on. Otherwise you can return the case or cut them off.

There IS MOST DEFINITELY a tab that pops out -- I just did it. It exposes the speakers and the lightning charging cable port. Its not a "flap" however and while you could put it back its not a one-two step. And by removing the tab I would guess you compromise the waterproof nature of the case
