You weren't expecting an extended delay while I considered this all a bit, where you?
The magnets are nearer the back so the attraction there is strong. I removed 7 magnets from the left side and top and two from the right side. You could actually still use the cover as normal that way, although the cover would be a bit lose on the left side when the cover was open. Still, you can see that there is a ton of magnetic overkill here.
I cut the back cover down to 1/2" of the "chunky" bit. That material is tough, I have no idea what it is. It took a dozen cuts with a carpet knife on both sides to get through. At least it cut fairly cleanly. The leatherette is well bonded, so no fraying edges.
The front flap still stays put when you hold it face down and the auto sleep still works.
I'll be installing a T-nut where the "X" is, but imagine my dismay as I realized that I didn't have any right in stock.
