    Abstract: A protective cover is described. The protective cover can be releasably attached to an electronic device having a display with a topmost protective layer and configured to present visual content. The protective cover comprises a flap. The flap 5 comprises a first surface and a second surface, the first surface configured to come into direct contact with the topmost protective layer of the display in a closed configuration. The flap also comprises a first magnet, and a second magnet separate from the first magnet, the first and second magnets disposed between the first and second surfaces. Only in the closed configuration, a first magnetic field from the first 10 magnet passes through the topmost protective layer and is detectable by the electronic device and a second magnetic field from the second magnet passes through the topmost protective layer and is suitable for magnetically attaching the flap to the electronic device at the topmost protective layer.

    Abstract: A methodology for connecting device components with circuitry located at different levels and orientations relative to one another is described. First circuitry can be located on a multi-plane rigid circuit board where the multi-plane rigid circuit board can include at least one flexible member sharing a common substrate with the multi-plane rigid circuit board that extends from a body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board. The flexible member can include traces used to convey power and/or data and an interface coupled to the power and/or data traces. The flexible member can be deflected or twisted to connect first circuitry on the body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board to second circuitry associated with another device component.
