  • iPad 2's Smart Cover Repairability Score: 0 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • There's very little to repair inside this device. Apple clearly didn't consider repair at all when designing it.

  • Once you cut it up, there's no going back -- you can't reassemble it again.

  • No correlated magnets were found inside. Apple chose to use the boring, standard two-pole magnets inside the iPad 2 and Smart Cover.

  • We're completely joking with the Repairability Score, of course.
