Review (5/5): Beautiful, works perfectly, very comfortable to wear
This works even better than I expected! Very strong magnet. There is a protective blue film on the metal plate. Once I removed it, the metal was shiny and unscratched. This will hold lots of straight pins. I would suspect that it would hold quite a few bobby pins, as well, but I didn't test that. The blue film could potential reduce the quantity of items that will stick to the magnet.
