A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

A convertible hat-handbag system is disclosed, which may be embodied as a kit for converting a hat into a handbag. When the hat is not being worn, the hat may be turned upside down and folded to bring opposing portions of the hat's brim together over a crown of the hat. A clasp may be used to hold the opposing portions of the brim together. A handle may be coupled to the clasp via a strap for carrying the hat along with any loose articles placed in the crown. A pouch may be provided for organizing the loose articles in the crown. In some examples, the clasp comprises magnetic members that pinch the opposing portions of the brim together with enough force to suspend the weight of the hat and loose articles from the handle.
