It sounds like the snap closure on your Orvis Fly Fishing Trifold Fly Lure Storage Case broke, which can be frustrating, especially if it affects the usability of the case. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:
1. Contact Orvis Customer Service
Orvis is known for its lifetime guarantee on many of its products. Even if the case is out of warranty, they may offer a repair, replacement, or discount on a new one.

2. DIY Repair Options
If you’d rather fix it yourself:
– Replacement Snap: You can find small snap fasteners at craft stores (like Joann Fabrics) or online (Amazon, eBay). A basic sew-on or rivet snap might work.
– Alternative Closure: Use a small carabiner, Velcro strip, or elastic band to keep the case closed.
– Super Glue/Epoxy: If the snap is plastic and just cracked, a strong adhesive might temporarily hold it.
3. Consider a Replacement
If the case is beyond repair, some alternatives include:
– Orvis Fly Boxes (they have various sizes and styles)
– Tacky Fly Boxes (popular for their strong magnets and durability)
– Fishpond Tacky Fly Cases (great for organization)
4. Prevent Future Issues
– Avoid overstuffing the case.
– Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent plastic brittleness.
– Consider a hard-sided fly box if you frequently travel or hike with your flies.
