iPad : CATransform3DMakeRotation flipping issue: half of the view is not visible

I have written some code to rotate a imageview 90 degrees and then flip it. However the flip seems to cut off half the image. Why does this happen?

UIImageView *tempView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:button.frame];
    tempView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"propertyCard.png"];
    //tempView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    tempView.opaque = YES;
    [self.view addSubview:tempView];

    [UIView animateWithDuration: 1
                          delay: 0
                        options: UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState
                     animations:^{

                         // rotate
                         tempView.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(M_PI /2, 0., 0, 1);                        
                     }
                     completion:^(BOOL finished) {

                         [self showPropertyViews];

                         [UIView animateWithDuration: 1 
                                               delay: 0
                                             options: UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState
                                          animations:^{

                                              // flip
                                              tempView.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(M_PI, 1.0,1.0,0.0);

                                          }
                                          completion:^(BOOL finished) {

                                                               }];
                                              }];

                     }];

When your view is turned nearly perpendicular to the screen, the more distant half will be covered by some of your other view in the view hierarchy. Try to set some "enough big" Z value for the view being animated, for example:

myView.layer.zPosition = 1000.0;
