puntoMX Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 All electronics don´t like magnets close to it, so I woul look for an other way to attach it to your screen. There are things like dobble sided tape or use something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 "something like this" would be called Velcro (or 'hook and loop' if it's generic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prx984 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Velcro Stuff works wonders for mounting things, I used it to stick a Palm Cradle to a desk.Speaking of Velcro though, I'll be working there tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Thank you guys, I was wondering what the English word was and could not find it. So it´s called "hook and loop" made by Velcro and others . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Velcro = short for velours and crochet (french for velvet and hook). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clidx Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 thanks for the info guys, i may get some velcro, but i'll be sure to stay away from magnetshmmm nice background info zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) Velcro = short for velours and crochet (french for velvet and hook). Yes, but there is an actual brand called "Velcro". Other companies can make the same product, but they have to call it "hook and loop"...or at least something other than "Velcro".
