How does the board close when folded? Is it fastened well enough to take with you in a bag?

Our Chess Set with Folding Chess Board & Case is designed with travel in mind - it just folds in half when not in use (no locks or clasps) and the individual chess pieces are secured in loops inside the board/case.
