IRON FLIPCOVER will NEVER work!!

I can't post a video tutorial because I don't have a proper camera. But will explain what I did.

You need a strong round magnet about 0.8cm wide. Anything similar would work.

First test the magnet with the phone, touch it on the screen next to the volume buttons and remove it, the screen should light up, now put the magnet back and the screen should turn off. All I did was attach the magnet to the existing one already in the cover. I slightly cut the case above the original magnet and slotted my own magnet in. And it works perfect now!

But still a shame, that we have to fix the covers ourself...
Shame on you UMI, schame on you

Hmmm it looks like the original flipcover for UMI Iron. If it is, then it will not work....

Hello,

Someone have tried to increase the magnet power instead of replace the magnet himself?

I think it won't work since it is the original one.

Hello again. I contacted UMI and this is their answer:

Hi,

Ignore my previous email it was not for you, it was a mistake sorry.

About your flip cover issue I will give you an answer in the next few days I need to check with my colleagues.

Best regards.

Let's see what happens...
