Ever wish your iPhone could hang around on, say, a refrigerator or file cabinet? If this project gets funded, it can.
And what about sticking them on a fridge, filing cabinet, or other metal surface?
To paraphrase the ol' saying, there's a Kickstarter project for that. MagSkin adds a magnetic backing to your iPhone 4/4S, thereby giving it an adheres-to-metal personality.
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.
According 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."
Assuming the project gets fully funded, Weyer expects MagSkin to ship in September. 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. (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.)
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.
Not everyone wants to keep their iPhone hidden away in a pocket. Some folks prefer to hang them on hooks or wear them around their necks.
