Re: [flasah] My phone case [magnet question]
These are pretty strong magnets but it would depend on the thickness of the leather you are using. I used two of the D301 disks on a cell phone case and they barely held it together. They need to be bigger ones for that. You might want to get the ones with a hole in the center so you can either sew, screw or rivet them in (although pounding on them might ruin them).

I caught that on a former thread ... I've been thinking of using magnets as closures on small cases ... which ones would you reccommend?

For the blackberry you need a small magnet built into the case. This lets the Blackberry know to go into 'case mode'.
It turns the back lighting off etc. You have to put it in the right spot or it won't work.

I've taken one of those magnets and am looking for a readily available source of the same strength. As soon as I find it I'll let you know. I should have something by this weekend at the latest.Clark

Clark,Love your phone case bro!I have been wanting to make a few for folks but I was worried about using off the shelf magnets from the hobby shop or the magnetic clasp that Tandy sales....Is there any chance of a small 'hobby' or clasp magnet being too strong?? Will it damage anything in the Blackberry? ???William Hicks

This is the case I made for myself. I work for Motorola hense the reason for the batwings.btw, I spoke with my engineering group about the magnet in the blackberry case. It should be placed just above the spacebar. and can be a small farrite magnet. I shaved a small piece off the magnet from the money clip kit. It is flexible and works great.Clark Moore
