Claim 6:
7. A hinge system comprising:
an outer housing;
a hinge bracket;
an axially rotatable first component coupled to the hinge bracket;
a first magnet coupled to the first component, the first magnet having a first pole and a second pole; and
a second magnet spaced apart from the first magnet, the second magnet having a first pole and a second pole,
wherein the second magnet is further configured to secure a removable and external device to an interior of the outer housing,
wherein the second magnet is positioned at an angle offset from a vertical axis that extends through the second magnet,
wherein the first component is in a first closed state when the second pole of the first magnet indirectly faces in a direction toward the second pole of the second magnet, and
wherein rotation of the first component about the hinge bracket causes the second pole of the first magnet to directly face toward and oppose the second pole of the second magnet, such that the first component moves from the first closed state to a second open state.
