1) Can you bend the cover all the way back--flat against the back of the case--without damaging the spine? 2) Does this have a magnetic cover?

Yes, you can bend the cover all the way around, however, after time doing that will wear at the spine. The case is designed to wear like a good used hardcover book.. but over bending may cause wear much sooner. The magnetic feature does control the on/off.Hope that helps

1. The cover will not lay flat against the back but form a triangle with the back, front, and spine. Does no damage. 2. The cover is held in place by a strap but opening the cover does wake the device.

Yes. I fold the front back flat against the backside of the cover when I am using my iPad.

Unfortunately the magnet wont work through the case but the smart clip wont bend the plastic protection. The clip has this rubber coating on the inside , it doesnt apply too much pressure but keeps your phone perfectly put.

No, the magnet's haven't affected the display when pulled back. I bought this one for my daughter for Christmas and thus far it seems to be working great for her. It's one of the nicer covers for the price and the quality is exceptional. Hope this helps in your decision making.

Yes, since the cover has two areas where it bends, but there really is no slot on the back of the case to stabilize it either in portrait or landscape positions. If you use your ipad in an angled position frequently, this is probably not the best case for you.

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.

I usually fold the magnetic flap under the other flap when I am going to be on the phone for very long. It has not been a problem at all for me. Yes, the case folds back.

Yes. The cover bends all the way back & covers whole back. Photos can be taken though without taken off case. You hold case like a book & snap camera. I like this cover very much. All buttons & plugs can be easily accessed.

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

The cover does fold all the flat against the back however it will not magnetize that way. The magnetic close is when the cover is closed to the front.

Sorry, no. But it does fold back flat. No magnet closure for the back though. Hope this helps.

It's just the hinge and cover, no back protection. But caution - I've had it about a year, and the magnet is getting weak.

I've used it to copy special books that could not be checked out from the library (these were reference books). But if I had valuable, collectible books I would not use it because you have to bend the spine back. Hope this helps . . .

Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen. And there aren't ever any creases that develop since the flap is made to fold in pretty much every direction. And because of the magnets, the flap with actually stay flat on the back even when you're not holding it down and will stay like that until you actually try to fold it back over to the front (You know how with paperbacks, when the pages you had folded back would just flop back to the front the moment you don't hold them back anymore but then they don't actually "close" all the way because now the pages are bent? Yeah, this cover will NOT do that). Hope that helps ^_^ Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen.

There are no magnets to hold cover back.I did return this case because there are no openings for the top switch or volume controls, this making these function's more difficult to do. (you have to push through the leather to use them). Nice looking case however.

Do you mean how to attach the front cover to the back? If so, there is a magnet on the edge of the back cover. The metal piece on the front cover attaches to the magnets.

I think the cover was not designed to be folded all the way to the back. I tried it the first few days after I got it, but it because it is leather I got the impression that if I would do it all the time I would end up messing up the cover ...After a while I realized that I can talk with the cover closed and I can also write comfortably with th cover opened at 180 degrees ... So involuntarily I have eliminated my "need" to folding it all the way back and I don't do it any moreHope this helps
