while the magnet was not strong enough to hold on during my aggressive brake checking, it did hang on for about a mile, before it fell off in the middle of the road

The bar on the front flap can answer phone calls and take you to your photo screen without needing to be open, the flap also serves as a stand, and the magnet on the flap actually works very well to keep the phone closed and open

it has kept my phone very well protected.fun side story: the magnet also is strong enough to hold the phone on vertical metal surfaces
