Flux Fountain
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a cover configured to be disposed over at least a portion of a display device of a computing device that is configured as a tablet; and
a connection portion attached to the cover using a flexible hinge, the connection portion configured to be physically coupled to the computing device using a magnetic coupling device that includes;
a first magnet that is disposed in the connection portion such that a magnetic field is aligned along an axis; and
second and third magnets are disposed in the connection portion at opposing sides of the first magnet from each other, each having a respective magnetic field that is aligned along an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the magnetic field of the first magnet.

Abstract
Flux fountain techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes a cover configured to be disposed over at least a portion of a display device of a computing device that is configured as a tablet and a connection portion attached to the cover using a flexible hinge. The connection portion is configured to be physically coupled to the computing device using a magnetic coupling device. The magnetic coupling device includes a first magnet that is disposed in the connection portion such that a magnetic field is aligned along an axis and second and third magnets are disposed in the connection portion at opposing sides of the first magnet from each other. The second and third magnets have respective magnetic fields that are aligned along a respective axis that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the magnetic field of the first magnet.
