Seems like the latch is not very strong, does it ever open if it gets bumped accidentally in a gym bag or purse?

YES. Mine opened up in my bag and ruined my graphing calculator and notes. Be careful!

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

Absolutely. The nice feaure of this case is that it has two loops to put your belt through - in addition to the clip in the middle. The magnetic latch is pretty secure - I've never had an issue with it opening by itself. If you did want to add a piece of Velcro to the flap it might buy you a bit more piece of mind but. I don't feel it necessary at all.

I would guess its defective as long as you're sure you are getting the ends of the closure latch into the molded plastic track that holds them. I have had no problem with mine coming open even with an exuberant pit bull puppy.

My latch was fine. So, it not all of them that are flimsy. You should take it out of the box and check it out. I don't feel like it's worth the money. I bought it and kept it because my 3 year old grandson had looked forward to it for so long!

I tried it and it stayed shut. you have to push the button for it to open. if it falls on the button, rom a good height it might open. I think its pretty safe though

Yeah you just have to snap and unsnap it a few times. I can open and close mine with one hand. I had the same issue as you when i first received mine

Not really because if you just wiggle and turn the dial the safe opens. It's not that secure for rings or any valuables.

The top zips closed, so if you zip it and buckle that front buckle, theres no need to worry about it opening while you are carrying it. It opens really easily if you keep it unzipped/unclipped- really quick access.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

Well..I usually dampen my fingers prior torubbing them to open the bag. 99% of thetime one try and the bag is open. Hope thishelps.

It doesn't stay closed on the "open" side...no. I put it into a carrier when I take it anywhere, so it doesn't matter to me. I adore this unit.

I'm not certain I would call it clicking into place, but there does seem to be a bit more tension when initially trying to open so as not to allow accidental opening. For what it's worth I'm on my second one of these and have carried one in my pocket for probably 2 years and never experienced the problem you described.

When we got ours we were afraid to break it but it just pulls open... Ours was really stiff but it opens without breaking lol

You could fit a tiny lock on it, but I would say the latch is more for novelties. It's not a strong latch, so you certainly wouldn't want any real valuables in it.

Yes, but it automatically 'pops' open unless it is held shut with a heavier object.

I myself haven't had that prob, it like snaps in the case, it is really secured,its kind of like a grip
