Smart Cover for iPad 1
Just ordered a bunch of magnets and a few of the thingies from Shapeways.
A couple weeks ago I posted a hack that allowed a Smart Cover to be attached to the original iPad. The solution was incredibly simple — gluing a few magnets to the spine — but not as easy on the eyes. I also noticed, unsurprisingly, it was not as comfortable to hold along the left edge.
After some tinkering, Tom (of Studio Neat) came up with a 3D model that solves both of these problems. We sent it off to Shapeways to be printed, tested it out, and it works as advertised. It essentially acts as a “track” for proper magnet placement and covers the unsightly magnets.
This hack requires a 3D printed part, 20 rare earth disc magnets, and some super glue. The magnets should be ordered from K&J Magnets, the D201-N62 model specifically…
