Does anyone know where the switch is inside the device? How thin a piece of metal would I need?

I've had a few cases like that. It's not the magnet inside the reader, it's the magnet inside the case that's too strong. What quite a few of us have done is use folded aluminum foil behind the reader inside the case. You're right that the magnet is in the lower right side of the both the reader and the case. You can usually feel where the magnet is inside the case. If you touch something like a fingernail file along the reader, you can find out where the magnet is on the reader.

Just keep folding the aluminum foil thick enough until the magnet stops turning the reader off when the cover is folded back. I usually just make it big enough to cover the entire back of the case since mine were the shell type cases, and I didn't like the one corner sticking up slightly more than the rest from the shell. So that's one way to do it, or just put it behind the lower quarter on the right side.
