An apparatus with a two-way hidden latch. A main body comprises a magnet disposed under a retainer, which fixes the two-way latch disposed in a cover portion. The cover portion can be placed on the main body with a first or second surface facing downward. The cover portion comprises a first and second opening and a two-way latch is disposed near the two openings. When the cover portion is open, the two-way latch is fixed at an original position and hidden in the cover portion. When the cover portion covers the main body with the first surface facing downward, the two-way latch is drawn by the magnet to a first position, engaging the retainer. Moreover, when the cover portion covers the main body with the second surface facing downward, the two-way latch is drawn by the magnet to a second position, engaging the retainer.

What is claimed is: 1. A latch structure, comprising: a fixing member with a first stop portion and a second stop portion, placed between a first position and a second, reversed position; a shaft disposed on the fixing member; a spring with a first end and a second end and disposed on the shaft, wherein the first end presses on the first stop portion and is blocked from rotating in a first direction when the fixing member is in the first position, and the second end presses on the second stop portion and is blocked from rotating in an opposite second direction when the fixing member is in the second position; and a moving member with a hook and an extending portion, wherein the moving member pivots on the fixing member through the shaft, the extending portion comprises a first side contacting the first end and a second side contacting the second end when the moving member rotates; wherein, when the moving member rotates in the first direction so that the spring presses against the extending portion without connecting with the first stop portion, and rotates in the second opposite direction so that the spring presses against the extending portion without connecting with the second stop portion. 2. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extending portion pushes the first end in the first direction by the first side when the moving member rotates in the first direction, and the second end is blocked by the second stop portion, such that the spring is compressed, providing an elastic force in the second direction. 3. The latch as claimed in claim 2, wherein the extending portion pushes the second end in the second direction by the second side when the moving member rotates in the second direction, and the first end is blocked by the first stop portion, such that the spring is compressed, providing an elastic force in the first direction. 4. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the moving member comprises permeable materials. 5. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shaft is a rivet. 6. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the spring is a torsion spring. 7. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first direction is clockwise. 8. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first direction is counterclockwise. 9. The latch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hook is T-shaped. 10. An apparatus with a hidden latch, comprising: a main body with a retainer; a cover portion connected to the main body at one side; a magnetic member disposed in the main body adjacent to the retainer, and a latch disposed in the cover portion and comprising: a fixing member with a first stop portion and a second stop portion; a shaft disposed on the fixing member; a spring with a first end and a second end, disposed on the shalt, wherein the first end presses on the first stop portion and is blocked from rotating in a first direction, and the second end presses on the second stop portion and is blocked from rotating in an opposite second direction; and a moving member with a hook and an extending portion, pivoting on the fixing member trough the shaft, wherein the extending portion comprises a first side contacting the first end, and a second side contacting the second end when the moving member rotates. 11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the cover portion comprises a first surface and an opposite second surface and covers the main body alternatively with the first surface or the second surface facing downward, and the cover portion comprises a first opening on the first surface and an opposite second opening on the second surface, the latch being adjacent to the first and second openings. 12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the hook is T-shaped. 13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the moving member comprises permeable materials. 14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the shaft is a rivet. 15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the spring is a torsion spring. 16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein when the cover portion covers the main body with the first surface facing downward, the moving member is attracted by the magnetic member, rotating in the first direction and clasping the retainer, the extending portion pushes the first end in the first direction by the first side when the moving member rotates, and the second end is blocked by the second stop portion, such that the spring is compressed, providing an elastic force in the second direction. 17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the elastic force provided by the spring is smaller than a magnetic force provided by the magnetic member. 18. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein when the cover portion covers the main body with the second surface facing downward, the moving member is attracted by the magnetic member, rotating in the second direction and clasping the retainer, the extending portion pushes the second end in the second direction by the second side when the moving member rotates, and the first end is blocked by the first stop portion, such that the spring is compressed, providing an apposite elastic force in the first direction. 19. The apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the opposite elastic force provided by the spring is smaller than a magnetic force provided by the magnetic member. 20. The apparatus as claimed in claim 19, further comprising a button movably disposed in the main body and having a shelter portion comprising high-reluctance material, wherein the shelter portion is moved to a position between the magnetic member and the hook, reducing the magnetic force. 21. The apparatus as claimed in claim 20, further comprising a resilient element connecting the button and the main body.
