yes, it doesn't flip. In order for it to flip you would have to install a hinge.
The armrest does flip up and down. It's built to operate just like any other - it will flip open and closed while the bars hold it in place. It may not look as nice as an actual hinge, but it's simple, it works fine and its a drop-in affair.
Of course you can definitely improve upon the original design by installing a hinge but it is by no means necessary... Sentrixx has made a real nice looking hinge on the link posted by 1.6pete (several posts up).

exactly, it isn't a hinge, but lift the front of it and lean it twoards the back and it works pretty well. Just if you keep things in there make sure they aren't in the way of the bars going down.

what you described looks more like moving the whole thing...not flipping

When you flip it you move the whole thing as well. It doesn't work exactly like a hinge, but when you lift it up, it stays in place pretty well and falls back into place just as easy.

but that way you have less space to put stuff in there
