Members billsreef Posted March 18, 2011 Members Report Posted March 18, 2011 I was looking at the magnetic snaps that Sprinfield has. Has anyone used them, and if so, how secure are they? I was thinking they might be good for securing flaps of things like cell phone cases. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 18, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted March 18, 2011 They're pretty good for multiple uses. Keep in mind that the design of the 'keeper' means you need to cover the prongs on back for a neat appearance, or risk those prongs scratching something. I pick mine up in smaller quantities from Hobby Lobby so I can get a variety of finishes on them. They're pretty strong for what they are, but the strength doesn't really compare to a quality snap. Like you said, they're good for keeping a light flap in place like on a cell phone holster or a purse/wallet.

Members billsreef Posted March 20, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks for the feedback on those. I"ll have to give them a try, I need a new cell phone holster Figure a lining should cover the inside prongs and maybe a concho to hide the flap prongs and dress things up a bit. Quote
