In fact, the following video takes you through a tutorial detailing on how to use the iPad 2 Smart Cover with the iPad 1. Head past the break for a quick glimpse at the dauntless how-to tutorial.
But, before you fix your eyes on the video, know that you'll be slightly tampering the beautiful build of your iPad. Sticking a bunch of magnets on the iPad's ‘spine' to use the Smart Cover sounds rather defiant but if you are in to give it a try, here's the video tutorial for your rescue.
Here's an excerpt in this regard from our source:
"To place the magnets, I stuck them first to the magnetized hinge of the Smart Cover. I slid them around until they became locked into a position. This ended being asymmetrical, but I didn't mind. I then lined up the cover with the iPad and used masking tape to mark where the magnets should be placed.
I wanted this to be a somewhat permanent solution, so I used super glue to affix the magnets to the iPad. If you are not so daring, or want to test it out to make sure you like it, just use transparent tape. Even though the super glue keeps the magnets secure and in place, they are actually pretty easy to remove by just "chipping" them off with a flathead screwdriver and a very light tap of the hammer."
The procedure was originally published under the header "The Russians Used A Pencil" and takes us through a detailed procedure of using the Smart Cover for iPad 1. However, this trick doesn't enable the auto sleep/wake functionality offered by the iPad 2. Perhaps, you could have some trick in mind to make it happen. If so, shoot a comment below.
