Making my Targus iPad2 Case Turn on the iPad?

Is it feasible to add magnets to the panel of a Targus iPad2 Case that faces the screen when the case is closed -- which would turn off the unit when the cover is closed and turn it on when it is opened?

Some specific suggestions for the types of magnets and their exact locations would be helpful.

Thanks,
