Remember that the switch that tells the phone if the slider is open or closed is a magnetic switch. If you trigger that switch with a magnet, it will wake the phone, just like sliding it open will.

The side note is, that when "we" (old timers) first discovered this, in the first few weeks that the 6700 was available, some people found that not every magnetic case would trip the switch. I have one that I don't use often, that absolutely will not wake the phone, no matter where I place the magnet. Strength, polarity... who knows.
