At the bottom, you can see the small part that sticks out a little bit towards the opposite side which holds the bottom of your device. It doesn't seem to snap in, though if put inside a wallet or something, it will press down pretty flat. This, btw, is an area I worry about long term.

Of course, you aso have the flexing of two other parts any time you get it out of your wallet or wherever you keep it. Otoh, it doesn't cost much to replace!
