On the Yahoo! BlackBerry Users Group, member Bill Foust posts an interesting plea for help this morning.Bill writes that the magnet for his BlackBerry 7280 case has disappeared. "No wonder the battery has been used up quickly lately!," he laments.
Then, Bill asks if any fellow Forum members know where you can just purchase another magnet, and just clue it in to the case.
Cincinnati-based attorney David McPherson (for whom the word "case" presumably has more than one meaning) responded that he found a small, rare-earth magnet at Radio Shack that seemed to do the job. He posts that he "clued (the magnet) into a soft case to trigger the (BlackBerry sleeper switch."
David was not sure of the part number, but I've searched the Radio Shack website and found a listing for Catalog #: 64-1895: a 1/8 Button Rare Earth Super Magnet. Costs $1.89, and seems to be the type of magnet David referred to.
