This looks really cool. Let us know what you come up with. I think the magnets will have to be penny-size (approx 1/16") or less. The Rare Earth ones described in the initial article are about that thick. The author used two but I had a hard time getting the back reattached with two pennies in there. I'd be nervous about the back popping off. (Or rather, the Pre popping off and falling to the ground while the back remained tightly attached to whatever surface I'd stuck it to.)
