I followed his his directions and IT WORKED! When I put on the Lexol, the leather sucked it up like there was no tomorrow. The next day, today, it closed with little effort and closes with a click of the snap. I can put things in easily since the flex point actually now flexes and no longer acts like spring steel.

of course the inexpensive option is to use little velcro tabs on the underside of the flap placed about 1 inch in from the edges.
