You could, of course, buy inexpensive magnetic sheets and cut your own MagSkin-style backing - but it wouldn't look anywhere near as cool as Weyer's. (Weyer hasn't decided on the final pricing yet, but says it will 'probably' be $19.95 - including two 'docking magnets' to allow the MagSkin to be used with non-metallic surfaces.) Most of the early-bird options are sold out, but as of this writing, you can pledge $15 or more to get a MagSkin in your choice of colors, shipping included. The MagSkin will be available in a variety of colors, including blue snakeskin.Īccording to Weyer, the skin is less than a millimeter thick, but strong enough to 'fully support the weight of the smartphone when placed vertically against a refrigerator or other ferrous metal.'Īssuming the project gets fully funded, Weyer expects MagSkin to ship in September. The MagSkin is an adhesive skin that creator Daniel Weyer hopes to offer in a variety of styles and colors, including a temperature-sensitive version and snakeskin. (What, you thought I was going to say 'magnetic'?) MagSkin adds a magnetic backing to your iPhone 4/4S, thereby giving it an adheres-to-metal personality. To paraphrase the ol' saying, there's a Kickstarter project for that. (Don't tell her I said that she'll kill me in my sleep.) Some folks prefer to hang them on hooks or wear them around their necks.Īnd what about sticking them on a fridge, filing cabinet, or other metal surface? If my wife's phone had a magnetic backing, she could slap it on the door to our garage, thereby increasing her chances of remembering to take it to work. Not everyone wants to keep their iPhone hidden away in a pocket. The MagSkin is a stick-on magnetic backing for the iPhone 4 and 4S.
