Material Overview
A smart cover does three jobs with one sheet: a hinge that folds flat on itself, a surface against anodised aluminium and glass, and a carrier for the magnet array. Thin enough for the magnets to work through, soft enough not to mark the back, stable enough that the fold stays a line.

Product Feature
1.The hinge is the test.
A tri-fold panel opens thirty times a day, and a hard topcoat cracks along the fold and turns white. A soft base with a flexible topcoat keeps the crease dark.
2.Magnets through the sheet.
The array sits in the shell, so the sheet must be thin enough that the pull still wakes the tablet. 0.6 mm is the compromise; 0.8 mm starts to cost pull.
3.No ghost on the aluminium.
A migrating back leaves an outline on anodised aluminium after a summer in a bag. Ask for the resistant back and test it against your shell.
4.Edge wrap at 2 mm.
The sheet rolls over the shell edge; at 0.5 to 0.6 mm it turns a 2 mm radius without splitting, at 0.8 mm it lifts at the corner.
Industry Applications
-
Tri-fold smart covers. The two hinge lines, not the face, decide whether the cover survives a year.
-
Folio cases with a pencil slot. The wall beside the pencil is 1 mm wide, and any build-up costs magnetic hold.
-
Keyboard folios. The rear hinge carries the tablet's weight at an angle, so the laminate must not creep at the shell joint.
-
Tablet sleeves. A sleeve is dragged in and out of a bag, where the pebble face hides scuffs a smooth one keeps.
-
Back-panel skins. A skin sits against anodised aluminium for months, where a migrating back leaves a ghost outline on the device.
-
Retail display stands. A stand holds the tablet at a fixed angle under shop light, where matte avoids the glare a gloss throws back.

FAQ
Q:Will the cover still wake the tablet at 0.6 mm?
A: Yes, and it is where most programmes land. At 0.8 mm the sleep/wake contact weakens, so test the assembled cover, not the sheet.
Q:Will it crack along the fold?
A: A topcoat question, not a thickness one. We fold-test to your cycle count and will say if the hardness will not survive it.
Q:Does it mark anodised aluminium?
A: A migrating back leaves a ghost outline. Specify the resistant back and test it against your shell under pressure.
Q:Can you match our Pantone?
A: Yes, lab dip in 3-7 days, 300 meters per colour minimum.
