It's really cute! It folds out and clicks open, then folds up and goes back into its case so whatever was on it doesn't get into my pocket or my briefcase.
It was really stiff to fold up at first, but it got easier each time I used it. I've washed it in the dishwasher about ten times so far, and it hasn't changed at all.
One really neat thing - they can custom brand them, so I could put my name or my kids' school's name on the case.
