I have an iPad 2 on the way and I've bought a folio that supports the magnetic auto-wake feature. I intend on using it, but I want to know if other people use it in their daily usage too.
Got a tip for us?

YES!! This is such a useful feature, very nice innovation. I have mine set with an unlock code so I usually just lift the cover off and it goes right to the unlock screen.
I use it all the time. Though more times waking it up than putting it to sleep. I still have the major habit (from the phone and the iPad1) to use the sleep button before I even close the thing. Then again, I haven't had my iPad2 long, it'll just take a little time for me to get used to the idea of not using that button.
That was something I was wondering about: if it goes directly to the unlock keypad when a passcode is set. I was gonna wait till my iPad gets here to test that, but thanks for inadvertently confirming that for me.
Yeah. It does that. I tested that myself, just to make sure the wake up doesn't bypass user locks.
For convenience, it bypasses the whole Slide-to-unlock virtual switch and goes right to the iOS desktop when opening (if you don't have a passcode lock on it). If you do, it bypasses the slide-to-unlock straight to the passcode thing.

Wrong. It's a setting in the options.
You can enable/disable the auto-lock feature.
Great advice...follow it?
You guys do know that there is a nice little rating system so that you don't have to do this anymore?
Then I guess my home button will experience less usage too since I intend to enable the multitasking gestures. Five finger pinch will bring me back to the home screen, and I feel like that'll be more convenient since I'm already using the touch screen.
Every time I use the iPad, in the company I still have an iPad 1; miss hpthat function on that one already.
And apps like SmartTub would not be funny without that.

My smart cover spends most of it's time stuck to the fridge!
Like using sans cover, screen on 10min auto lock also nice setup.
