Flap on the Apple iPad case?

Maybe I just expect more, but I don't see what the point of this flap is on the case. After sliding the iPad into the case, it's clearly not going anywhere. Tucking a flap in over it seems pointless. And otherwise, I don't see a need for the flap in any other function. Also, even when i tuck it in, it seems like it doesn't tuck neatly. Am I missing something?

Mac SE, P-book 160,MacMini,G3,G5,MBP, iPad, lots of boxes with lights and things, Mac OS X (10.5.8), desk, chair, lamp.....

This has got to be the all-time funniest thread I have ever seen. Whenever life gets too complicated, I am just going to say to myself, "Flap!"

Thanks all! ;O)

Be afraid...be very afraid.

Nothing to fear unless the flap actually has meaning......

If you use a carrying bag that has a zipper, just be sure to tuck the flap all the way in first before you zip up.

Yeah, I said it.

Hah funny, that is exactly how I ended up slipping it out. Little harder with the grippy front and back skins, but it works. Just wonder how loose that thin strip becomes after a year of doing it. 🙂

I can go you one better. I wear reading glasses on a lanyard around my neck.
