I'm probably the only one, but I hate the texture on the inside of the stock cover. I ordered the leather cover, but the magnets were polarized wrong and I sent it back. So I worked on the stock cover instead. I cut a piece of kimono silk to be 6" x 7". I then used this 1/4" stitch witchery tape and ironed it down on the inside of the cover.

Nice customization. Guess that takes care of the fuzzy dust magnet problem with original interior. The Stitch Witchery is permanent though, so fabric choice is important.

It does make the magnets a bit less sticky, although the silk is very thin. But I figure worst case scenario is I have to buy another cover. But it's fine so far.

Interesting, never thought of using the double sided fabric iron-on tape.
