Endo: ingenious magnetic "clip" design
The Endo is a pretty cool fridge magnet -- a rare-earth magnet encased in a single, bevelled piece of vinyl. The bevel makes it possible to rock the magnet up and down, simulating the action of a magnet clip without any springs or moving parts.Link (Thanks, Scott!)A solid mass of neodymium, silicone and steel, “Endo” presents an elegant alternative to conventional means of magnetic attachment. No springs. No coils. No internal moving parts. Endo is the one-piece all-purpose silicone magnet with springy clipping action.
