The matrix may have at least two hinges that may be or include, but are not limited to a living hinge, a mechanical hinge, or combinations thereof. The plurality of magnets may be disposed upon, within, or around the matrix, and at least one dimension of each magnet is at least 500 nm. In a non-limiting embodiment, at least one of the magnets may be an energizable magnet for increasing or decreasing the rebound force of the magnetic device when the magnetic device is energized.
A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.
A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.
