Now this might seem like a strange idea, but I want to invent something called Quiet Velcro.
Velcro is great, but it does make a big noise, especially if you have a couple of good large surfaces with the stuff, like the top of my laptop bag.
Loud enough to wake people up.
Trouble is, in a quiet room, this stuff makes a lot of noise. It sounds destructive, A huge noise compared to opening a button or two or a zipper.
So how about something quiet, maybe magnetic, with the same sticking power, but less noise?
