well, i don't have this tablet and i don't know if i like the 7 inch size and i don't know if someone already posted this already but it would take me a year to read all the posts on this forums so anyway here you go a little trick that can help your tablet lock and unlock using the case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ad_QrjtrvE&feature=ytfce, and i'd appreciate if someones tell me where can i buy magnet?
It would take you a year to read them all, but only a couple seconds to use the search button :p

I bought a cheap cover on Amazon, just for protection until a better selection becomes available. It has two magnets to hold the cover closed, but it does not activate the screen.

The sensor seems to be located on the opposite side from where a cover opens (left side, about 2 inches from the bottom), which I find bizarre.

Anyway, you can purchase magnetic printer backing for printing your own refrigerator magnets. I'm going to see if that will work.

Edit: never mind. The magnet has to be stronger than the type I mentioned.
