Use a Smart Cover to stick your iPad to the fridge

Here's the video:

Looks to me like they need a new refrigerator more than a new iPad.

I tried this on a metal fume hood at work a few days ago. I'd be vastly more worried that the magnetic hold between the hinge of the iPad and the cover would give before the cover to metal surface does.

Would I really use this means to display ipad stuff in the kitchen? ... no! There are many safer means, the least expensive of which is a few sticky pad medium/large plastic hooks.

To avoid the risk of iPad falling while testing the magnets, do the following :

Topple the fridge down, so that the fridge door faces up.
Try out the magnets as much as you want without the risk of falling. :-)

I like those scissors too. I keep mine in an IKEA magnet square frig cup (box?).

Hey Erica ... where's my iPad cover scissors photo?

And the time I try it, it'll likely fall and shatter to pieces even with a gym mat right beneath it.

That fact that most of us cringed while looking at it tells us we're not insane - right? In the end, it's just an electronic device. It can be replaced. Stupid emotions.

Anyone else notice the scissors on the fridge? I have never seen that before.

There are new refrigerators with little LCD screens in them and let's you know the weather.

Also, no chance of the iPad 2 sticking on a DeLorean then?

Don't try this with your Stainless Steel fridge door - not enough iron in that door for it to work well. But it does leave a couple of questions:

• How long is the lead time for my next iPad2?
• Does AppleCare cover stupidity?

mythbusters showed that ordinary magnets don't damage credit cards.

Is this worse than people who used it as a chopping board, plate etc

Question for actual owners. What do you do with the smart cover once you open it, does it clip back or just become more desk refuse?
