I prefer the newer magnetic closure because it's easier to open and I think it is better for the hinge. I've noticed that on older solids the hinge mechanism is loose and I'm afraid to cause any damage by opening the solid. It just seems to me that opening an older solid somehow puts a strain on an already old hinge..or are the hinges supposed to be like that? <img src='style_emoticons//blink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’blink.gif’ /> (Is my inexperience showing again?) <img src='style_emoticons//unsure.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’unsure.gif’ />
However, and this is JMHO…if one shouldn't use the solid if it is a collectible, then theoretically, the solids never need to be opened….well..maybe just once to check that the solid is there and to take in the lovely aroma. <img src='style_emoticons//smile.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’smile.gif’ />
