Samsung S2 9.7 tablet keyboard cover causes tablet to sleep in portrait mode, why?

[AC Question]

S2 9.7 tablet goes to sleep mode if I attempt to fold the samsung keyboard cover such that I can use tablet in portrait mode.
Appears to be related to the strong magentic field of the detachable bluetooth keyboard in combination with the magnetic flap when I fold cover to view in portrait mode

S2 9.7 works fine in both landscape & portrait mode if I remove the bluetooth keyboard & just use the cover alone & folded to view portrait mode.

You need to change the keyboard cover, if it is creating so much problems.
