How well does the magnetic closure work? I'd hate to lose the camera because the closure popped open.

The entire front flap is magnetic, so it has a large magnetic surface that feels very secure. I took this camera overseas on vacation recently around a lot of water, and I had no concerns at all that the magnetic closure would come lose. The case also fits the camera very snugly, so even if the magnet failed, I do not believe the camera could fall out.

The magnets are fairly strong. The camera fits very snuggly into the case, it's almost too snug of a fit. I would prefer if the fit was not so snug but there is no way the camera could fall out of the case. You have to pull the strap on the camera and hold onto the case in order to get the camera out. Hope this helps!

It's very secure it keeps the camera very snug, it doesn't open as easy. Totally recommend it, my parents loved it.

it closes well, but the camera fits really tight....I'm not using the case anymore, once you put it in, its super hard to take out, so I decided to not use the case, i'm scared the camera will break or something when trying to take it out.

The magnetic closure only works when you close the cover. It does not have magnets on the back of the case so that when you fold it over it doesn't hold the cover to the back of the case. I love my cover. I have several.

I've used this accessory for many months and never had a problem (I've upgraded to a Nex-6, which comes with a viewfinder, so I don't use it anymore) but I remember a few people reporting damaging issues related to the magnets. I have always found that an exaggeration (at least in theory). Now, when you bring a crazy issue like this to the table....

I have used mine for only a couple of weeks but so far I have experienced no problems of that type.I like the magnet closure system over a snap or Velcro as I have used in the past on other cell phones cases.

I does have a positive magnetic closure. This is a very nice slim fitting case.

It has a powerful magnet that keeps it closed. No snap. But it stays closed.

It does have a magnetic closure. It doesn't seem too strong of a magnetic but, on the other hand, I've never had it open on me either.

When I need my phone out the case I just push near the camera and it pops right out. It won't break the phone or case.

a snap closure (closure only - not to keep open). Magnetic would have been preferable both to close and to keep open.

No there is not a magnetic closure for this product. you just close it like you would a book.

I have never had a problem with it loosening. I would not want to use anything that would ruin it or the camera. I used it on a two and a half week trip, in and out of my bag when not in use and with each time I checked it, it was still tight.

It does have a magnetic closure. It is rather secure when you close it up so you don't have to worry about your credit cards and whatnot falling out.

It closes with magnets? I carry mine in my purse and have never had a problem with its coming open.

It goes on very tight, you clip it in and then screw it down. It never snagged or broke off for me and i'm pretty rough on my camera. It definitely wouldn't come off without you noticing.

I attach the strap to the camera, so the answer is it does not matter to me whether the case is open/close/removed.

The one I have has a magnetic closure, I find no functionality problems.I really like mine, it is thin and neat. Seems to be good quality.
