Hacking an Incase Magazine iPad2 case into a Smart Cover with magnets

There are several iPad2 cases out there that are nicer, or at least more protective, than the Apple Smart Cover. However the Apple Smart Cover has one cool feature -- the "closing" edge of the cover has a magnet that will trigger a sensor built into the iPad2 to put it to sleep. This instructable shows you how to cleanly add that feature to a non smart cover.

The challenges are:

* Find a small magnet
* Find a clean way to attach the magnet to the cover.

Step 1 Supplies

I am using one of those magnetic business card as the magnet, and good old electrical tape to attach the magnet to the cover.

What you'll need:

* a magnetic business card -- I get so many of these from sales people
* black electrical tape
* scissors
* post it note (to help measure)
* and your non smart iPad2 cover
