Abstract: A device generally intended to be used for providing a magnetic surface that can be temporarily attached to a non-magnetic surface. The device includes a board element and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly can be, for example, suction or adhesive based, and can enable the board element to be attached to many substantially flat surfaces. The board element can include a piece of sheet steel or a composite of sheet steel and other suitable structural materials. One or more surfaces of the board element can be coated to provide a smooth non-porous surface. The non-porous surface can enable the use of, among other things, dry-erase markers and other erasable writing implements.
