Chromebook & iPad power off

I’ve just sat my Chromebooks Asus C302C) on top of my iPad Pro and the Chromebook screen shut off. I picked up the Chromebook and the screen came back on, sit it down and its off again.

Any ideas what is causing this odd behaviour?

    <p>Think its the magnet on the iPad/case, as it seems to depend on where in the iPad I place the Chromebook. Think I'm going to stop doing that now, lol.</p>

    <p>It's likely engaging the sensor in the Chromebook. There's probably a magnet in the lid.</p>

    <p>Yep, magnets. It thinks you've closed the lid.</p>
