Zenfone 2 Tauri Wallet Case + Magnet mod to auto sleep/wake!

I bought this case without realizing it didn't come with an auto-sleep/wake feature... so I modded it and added the feature myself with a spare magnet!

I've attached a few photos to this thread, the fourth photo shows the bump where I shoved the magnet (in the bottom-right corner of the ID pocket).
Check out my Google Photos album for all the pictures I took, with a few comments on the process: http://ift.tt/1VuE9id

Amazon item name: ZenFone 2 Case, Tauri [Stand Feature] Wallet Leather Case with Stand, ID & Credit Card Pockets Flip Cover For ASUS ZenFone 2 - Black
$10 on Amazon (as of date of posting)


How to do this yourself with almost any case:
Step 1: Find a suitable magnet. I procured mine from an old Zune HD case!

Step 2: Find the correct orientation for the magnet. Use masking tape to keep it in place temporarily. Open and close the case to make sure it works reliably!

Step 3: Adhere the magnet to the case, preferably under a layer of fabric/leather so you don't scratch your phone. Use a good adhesive, sew it into the case, or find a way to get it wedged in good and tight. Get creative! With this particular case, the magnet fit nice and snug in the corner of the ID window, right where it needed to be. No adhesive, cutting, or sewing required!
