used to couple magnet 900 in a permanent manner to any of a variety of surfaces such as a table top a wall or a car dashboard while magnet 900 is currently shown as projecting slightly from the rear surface of case 700 when in its mated position magnet 900 could be configured with a thinner thickness so as to be substantially flush with the rear surface of case 700 without departing from the scope of the invention as used herein u201c substantially flush u201d means a surface which does not recess or project from another surface by more than 2 mm and more preferably by no more than 1 mm in an exemplary embodiment magnet 900 could be composed of two parts rear magnetic plate 1100 and front magnetic plate 1200 as shown in fig1 and 12 which both work cooperatively to allow magnet 900 to couple to a non ferromagnetic object not shown that is placed in between rear magnet 1100 and front magnet 1200 contemplated non ferromagnetic objects include clothing and wall partitions fig1 shows rear magnetic plate 1100 having recesses 1110 and 1120 which couple to magnets 1130 and 1140 respectively mushroom shaped 1112 and 1122 could be overmolded to magnets 1130 and 1140 although other coupling mechanisms could be used such as adhesives or a recess comprising a ferromagnetic wall rear magnetic plate 1100 could also have gripping projections 1150 which could be used to provide additional grip to an intervening non ferromagnetic surface disposed between rear magnetic plate 1100 and front magnetic plate 1200 similar to rear magnetic plate 1100 fig1 shows front magnetic plate 1200 having recesses 1210 and 1220 which both couple to magnets 1230 and 1240 respectively using mushroom shaped projections 1212 and 1222 respectively.
