Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
an outer housing;
a rotatable cover coupled to the outer housing;
a first magnet disposed within the outer housing, the first magnet having a first pole and a second pole;
a hinge subassembly disposed within the outer housing, the hinge subassembly further including:
a hinge bracket;
an axially rotatable first component coupled to the hinge bracket and the rotatable cover; and
a second magnet positioned within the first component, the second magnet being rotatable about the hinge bracket, the second magnet spaced away from the first magnet, the second magnet having a first pole and a second pole; and

a position sensor configured to detect a location of the second magnet,
wherein the first component is in a first position when the second pole of the second magnet indirectly faces in a direction toward the second pole of the first magnet, and
wherein the first component is in a second position when the second pole of the first magnet directly faces toward and opposes the second pole of the second magnet, such that the first component and the rotatable cover automatically move from the first position to the second position.
