magnets are the best.

And underrated, imho. I’m always delighted when I get something that uses magnets in a unique way: keeping a lid closed, providing alignment when attaching things, as a method of mounting unrelated things to each other, and even just to fidget with. Magnets are awesome.
I have an Apple cinema display that has magnets around the bezel and a stainless steel 1” wide ruler which accidentally ends up making a most satisfying physical iSight privacy barrier.
