I just got one of these for my iPad mini retina and the screen cover doesn't stay closed. The magnets seem to have barely any stick. Is this normal?

It's not normal. I have the 1st gen Mini and the brown case cover. Looks great and works well but will say the brown leather gets dirty very quickly...return it for an exchange.

Works well on my original mini and snaps shut. Looks great and I rubbed in some leather cream to keep the leather looking great.

No. That is not normal. I have an iPad mini with the black jison case and it fits and looks great. Screen cover stays closed with no issues. I would send it back for a replacement.

That's how mine works too, sorry. Kinda dumb for a case at this price. In fairness, the Apple case had the same issue. However, during use, this wasn't a deal breaker with either. Throw it in a bag, it stays shut. That's all I need.

I love mine! All I did was peel off the cover that was over top of the adhesive part, then stick my tablet to it. It stays perfectly, and I have never had an issue with it even moving.

Truthflly, I think it might be a tight squeeze. I bought this cover for a friend and I've seen her use it with some difficulty. She says that magnet doesn't close securely... It looks really pretty though.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

I agree that it clings to the included metal plate, but the magnets are not very strong otherwise. I sometimes attach it to the face or side of my iPad and it always slides down. Luckily it is not round so it does not roll away. Other than that, it is a very good stylus, especially if you purchase the available microfiber tips. I like those a LOT!

It does have a magnet closure works great. When closed screen is off using very little battery as it sleeps. When opened it resumes wherever you were. Cover make a nice stand also. Everything I wanted in a small protective case. I have had it since Dec 2014.

It fits the mini 2 but not well....it the magnetic cover does not stay in the down position and therefore, the iPad turns back on. The mini also kind of pops out of the case; it does not fit in it securely. I ordered the red and it was true in color to the photo in the add.

Nope, the magnets don't hold the cover to the back, they only turn of my iPad

Mine is definitely magnet, it's built into the cover about half way down the long side and helps the cover stay shut. I would say yours might be defective.

Mines do cut my ipad off when i close it. Maybe check your swivel piece & clamp it back & tighten it or contact the seller. But i had no problems

What generation iPad do you have? You may not have the cover that is compatible with the version pad you have. Also, as the cover ages on occasions it tends to close away from the magnets that control the on/off. I listen for the off click. If I do not hear it I slide cover to line it up with the iPad and hear the click. This does not happen often. Also check settings as others have suggested. I have two pads generation 2 and the latest Air iPad and the cover works well on both.

The bug screen I have has a slit in the middle. The two pieces fold over each other and close with the magnets. I have had oter screens in the past , they did not work out well for us and they did not last as long as this one.

There is a magnet, but because of the ability to rotate and the flexibility of the spine of the case, sometimes the magnet doesn't align perfectly with the magnets on the iPad. Make sure that it lines up and use the elastic to hold it closed and it works fine. As one commenter said, look at the top after it's closed and check that the light is out. This is a great case.

The case is great. Very protective. The cover (that goes over the screen) that you have to buy separately does protect it but the magnets that hold the cover closed are not strong enough. For example if you take the Ipad and hold it horizontal to the ground the magnetic cover will flop open. More of a nuisance than anything.

Hey Jeff, it depends on the angle of the screen. If you have it on the first notch, it will most likely fall over. I always used the second notch and I laid on the bed and used it frequently. It rarely fell over. If you push too hard on the iPad selecting things, it may fall over, but if you just are typing, it will work good. I like the case. I will say that the magnets hold much better than other designs.

I have a IPad mini also it works great. I originally bought a cover that Was fine for awhile but you couldn't prop it up or turn it. This works greatI hope this helps.

Good question. Thin magnets keep the cover closed. It also helps in keeping it open and folded back, when the tablet is positioned on a table in landscape position.
