The original and an expensive replacement broke as I was exiting the passenger seat of a car. This replacement product is terrific. Looks exactly like the original but I challenge anyone to find a less expensive alternative of this quality, I bought two just for backup. If you have an 8800 series Blackberry the clip is going to break eventually. Here is a more than adequate replacement at a great price. Delivery was prompt. Yes, the flap is magnetic just like the original one.
