iPad 2 smartcover on an iPad 1 #2

So here is my version.

Firstly the magnets:

magnets

Neodymium magnets

Let them attach themselves to the cover hinge:

Line the cover up on the ipad and mark the magnet positions with a pencil.

Superglue the magnets to the ipad edge. Be careful to offset the bottom one slightly to avoid the SIM slot:

superglue!

Job done.  Lay the cover over the iPad 1 and hear the satisfying click as the hnge attaches. It as strong as the iPad2 mount:

Best of luck with yours!
