Flap on the Apple iPad case?

Thanks for the feedback all and yes there is a question here: "What purpose does the flap serve?" If I tuck it in, as some kind of 'seal' to the iPad in the frame of the case, it's pointless. This thing isn't going to slip out, with or without the flap. Plus, when you tuck it in, it puckers out on the edges. If I leave it out, it just hangs out there like some extra microfiber remnant looking for something to do.

To be sure, this debate is about aesthetics. It's not like the case doesn't work. I like the case. It's light and protects the glass, looks sleek. But I'm not going to take an Xacto knife to this thing. Apple's known for great product design and this is fine...but who needs this flap??

Cruft and dust bunnies? This isn't like some huge gap under the bed...it's a few mm of space.

The consensus here is that the flap is to be tucked in; it's not, uh, a handy Post-it note space or anything else. I'll fly with that. When tucking it in, I also see these 2 puckers sticking out on the corners. It doesn't matter how snug I tuck it in.

I know I'm nitpicking, but I just had to raise the issue. We have high expectations from our Apple products. If this were a Dell, it would come with some hideous Targus case with 27 zippers and pockets.

This whole flap over the flap is pretty comical. And that includes the suggestion to make an appointment w/the Genius Bar (you are joking, right?). If people are tucking it in and they're seeing a little imperfection, let's call it, then they're not +doing it wrong+. If it were just me, then my bad. But there's more than one. (BTW, mine did not come with instructions or a diagram or anything.

Muddy, I'm wondering if you have a genuine Apple iPad case without the flap? Or is it some other manufacturer? If it's Apple, maybe they made some without the flap and they learned the flap really helps.

Looks like people are flip flopping over the need for a flap. <insert more puns below if you dare>
