Magnetic USB Card Reader
USB memory card readers always seem to disappear. In our modern life, once you copy the pictures to your computer, where does the card reader go? In a drawer? Behind the computer in the mess of cables? Back in a bag with the camera?
Glue a magnet to the card reader and attach it to your drawers, fridge, or other magnetic surface. Magnets always seem to make people smile, so you and your friends and co-workers will find the card reader magnetically attached to some surface, smile, and always remember to put it back in the same place.
Winners of the September project contest will need these instructions to assemble their prizes.

Glue on Magnet
Open the USB reader's stupid plastic case (this is probably the hardest part of the entire Instructable). Mix up the epoxy and glue on the magnet.

In my experience, the magnet has no effect on data on the memory card.
