  • A bit of magnetic viewing film works wonders in revealing the magnets hidden beneath the Smart Cover and iPad 2.

  • Magnetic viewing film has special properties that allow it to react to a magnet's poles.

  • The Smart Cover has one magnet that turns off the iPad 2's screen. The rest are used to either clamp to the iPad on the right side (the far-right column of magnets), or to form the triangular shape used to create a stand for the iPad 2.

  • In fact, you don't need the Smart Cover to turn your iPad 2's screen on or off. We used iFixit's handy-dandy magnetic pickup tool to activate the sleep sensor on the iPad 2.
