Could someone explain the "magnetic" features of the Sony Premium Cover? I have read comments about the cover having a magnetic closure.

I'd like to know how the magnetic feature of the cover works before I order one. I haven't been able to inspect a cover is person, since I live in the technological hinterland of the US. No stores in reasonable driving distance have the covers in stock.

I have tested my Touch edition with a small magnet, and the reader does not seem to have much ferrous material in it for a magnet to attract.

Is there a magnet in the front and or rear cover flap? Do they some how hold the cover closed on the reader, or do they just hold the flaps together when the front is folded all the way back?
