The magnet doesn't hold the cover shut. It only holds the triangularily shaped folded cover in position to act as a stand for the tablet. As already said, there is no magnetic material inside the tab to use magnets to keep cases shut.

I personally have the PU Leather Case Smart cover. It works just fine but damn is it heavy . Where I can normally watch a movie while holding the tablet, I cannot while using the smart cover, it just makes it to heavy.

That sounds great but I am still looking for something that is light cause I'm always on the go and don't want the extra bulk. I am currently eyeing a Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 Book cover, it seems to fit our tabs perfectly. I just wonder if that is heavy or what.

I'm currently looking at Tab 10.1 2 book cases on ebay. Cheap and look quite slim and light.

Check out www.case-tablet.com (just actually made a threat about my first impression)

Its light, thin, elegant and sturdy.... not very practical though ...
