Have you noticed that there is a difference in price between the round and square magnet closures?? Ann

I've switched to mostly zippers, unless requested by a customer. Zippers really aren't that hard to put in. Look at the technique that the Lazy Girl patterns use and adapt that to your needs. I get zippers from thrift stores at a cheaper price than the magnets. Most people prefer not to have the top of their bag open, both for weather and theft.

Just be careful of the magnetic closures they will delete your credit card or hotel card. Just had this happen this spring, wondered why the hotel Key card would not work well it was the magnet on the bag

I wondered about that. I actually had a subway card erase when I used it too close to mine.

Interesting... I have a small key chain/card wallet that I made with a 1/2" magnetic closure on it. I carry my building entry magnetic card as well as credit and debit cards in it every day for the last 6 months or so with no problems so far. I wonder how long my luck will last.

I like this for lots of closures at good prices. Their zippers are not so inexpensive , but have good deals on lots of closures as well as other stuff.
