Abstract
A magnetic fastener system has a first fastener structure with a body with a first side and a second side. At least one of a male or female friction-snap fastener is positioned on the first side. A pocket is formed within the second side and a magnet is positioned therein. A recessed surface is formed in an interior of the pocket. A captive wall is formed around the recessed surface. The magnet is positioned between the first side and the recessed surface. A second fastener structure has a shape defined by an outer sidewall, wherein the shape of the outer sidewall substantially matches a shape defined by the captive wall, wherein second fastener structure is removably insertable into the pocket, and the first and second fastener structures are magnetically connectable. At least a third fastener structure is removably connectable to at least one of the male or the female friction-snap fastener.
