| Magnetic Switch Cover Is Awe Inspiring Posted: 03 Aug 2011 08:53 AM PDT So for $24.95 you get a plate whose bottom is magnetized thereby allowing the owner to stick trinkets on it. That, boys and girls, is the sum and totality of this particular semi-gadget. If it had blinky lights we’d honor it as a ‘whole’ gadget, but it’s just a metal plate. If you’re wondering about the genius who ‘invented’ this, why, ’twas an industrial design student named Jake Frey. Bravo, Mr. Fray. You now have a commercially distributed product to your credit.
