When the cover is folded back, does it stay folded on its own? Does the magnet engage at the back of the case to keep it open?

It doesn't seem to stay folded on its own. The cover will flop down if you pick up just the top half.

The case does not stay folded on its own, there is not a magnet on the back that engages.

The magnet does not engage when the cover is folded back however; the cover does fold back without any resistance and it is not at all uncofortable

it's a design flaw the magnet is in the MIDDLE section of the cover and so switches it off when you fold it back and it contacts the BACK of the kindle. (this should only happen when it is closed and touches the front of the kindle) . Mine cover does it too and I'm sending it back. I do not know if they have fixed this issue maybe a weaker magnet or having it placed in another section would fix the issue (but that would involve a redesign).

A magnet is used to hold the cover closed. I have not noticed any reception difference. Yes it folds completely over.

The cover is indeed secured when folded back. You use the same buckle that you use to secure the cover when it is in front.

The flap does fold back and then magnetically attaches to the back and holds it all open. It's fine to hold (though I usually use the speaker or a bluetooth). It's beautifully made, looks very high-end, excellent for your desk and still thin enough for your pocket.

It has a magnet but after I folded it open I could only get it to stay closed with the elastic strap.

It uses magnets (and my tablet "sleeps" when it detects that it has closed). For the folding...yep, completely folds closed and open (and into a "tall" and "short" stand).

Hey. The case does fold back over on itself. The spine doesn't fold but its built to be folded back and held one-handed.

I purchased this and, once I bent the strap back and forth a little to lessen stiffness, it is magnetic toward the other side of the case cover and holds the case together while it is all the way open and folded back. I do not mean to correct the seller's answer, but mine does this just fine every time.

No the cover does not attach flat to the back with magnet. It still moves around. Only when u fold/roll front cover to the stand position, then it latches to magnet.

On my case the only magnets seem to be on the first and fourth folds of the front cover. They are powerful enough for it to snap into the triangle shape for the stand. When I stand the mini in either the flat or upright position, it stays there firmly, so the manufacturer of this one probably didn't think it needed a magnet on the back of the case. I had read reviews of other cases where a too-powerful magnet, placed in a bad spot, would turn the mini on and off at weird times, but this case doesn't do that. Hope this helps!

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

Gravity keeps the cover closed. You really have to break in the cover to make it close fully though. The magnet is to wake and sleep the screen when you open and close the cover.

It does fold flat against the back but not magnetically held there. There is a magnet when closing cover over front. Also the frontcover folds into 3 sectioned parts and there are magnets to hold it in that position. Great cover, it will also fit into cover pouch that came with tablet for extra protection when traveling.

Case does close with small magnets. It does not have a latch or strap. I have not had any problem with it turning on or off when the case is opened and closed.

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.

The case fits very well, but it does not turn the tablet off when you close it. It allows you to access all the controls but mine does not stay closed on its own. By this I mean it does not magnetically stay closed.
