Therefore I asked a second time, specifically stating "Will the case without a clasp also stay shut?" and they said yes. It's no. It doesn't. Support is incompetent and made me buy a product I wouldn't otherwise have bought.

This was a critical point for me, or I wouldn't have asked.

With regard to the sleep/wake-function: it's a well-known problem, and even most China-made €10 covers get that right nowadays. I expect a €60 cover to get it right as well.
Actually I am a bit at a loss. I think I don't understand the question you asked as you would like me to understand it and I have a suspicion neither did the support at Noreve.

My ONE is in a modified iPadMini case, so the magnet doesn't work at all. Now when I put it in my bag (I've used a messenger bag for the last two or three weeks almost exclusively and before that a roomy handbag with a handle, not over the shoulder style) it still doesn't flap open. That being said, even though the bags are roomy they don't offer enough room for the ONE to fall to a 45° or bigger angle.

Which makes me think your reader seems to have far too much space to flap open in your bag than is normal.

So for normal in-bag-use I'd say, even a cover without a magnet or a with a week magnet would stay closed unless the reader has too much wriggle room and the bag is shaken badly.

What it comes down to is: I'd have answered your question with a confident yes, too, assuming it is in a bag with comparments that aren't wider than maybe 2 (?) inches.

Why is it, your reader flaps open? Or what do you do to it, for it do act like this?

Also, you were pointed in a direction that seems to have been better for your style of use and still chose to buy another style just because you like it better, trading looks for function. It is hardly fair to take your obviously unfortunate decision out on others.

Like I said, I am sorry you don't like it, but I really don't understand why you don't like it exactly.
