The magnet that holds the flap down is powerful enough to put the blackberry into the "In the case" mode. Actually, it's powerful enough that if you set the berry on top of the case it will turn off the screen as well. This is useful for the 7130e since there is no way to charge it in the case as the holes don't line up. This also means you can't see the blinking message waiting light when it is in the case.The clip is fixed, e.g. does not rotate like on some cases, but the horizontal design is way more comfortable on my belt than the original vertical blackberry case. Overall it looks good. I've had it for a month and it seems to be holding up well. Certainly feel like I got my ten bucks worth.
