Claims (30)

1. A magnetic strap for removeably attaching an object to a metal surface, comprising:

a loop portion with a looped top surface and a first smooth bottom surface;

a hook portion with a hooked top surface and a second smooth bottom surface;

a connector;

at least one magnet;

a top rubber portion;

a bottom rubber portion, wherein the at least one magnet is located between the top rubber portion and the bottom rubber portion; and

an additional surface covering the at least one magnet, wherein the top rubber portion is attached to the additional surface, and wherein the bottom rubber portion is attached to the second smooth bottom surface of the hook portion, and wherein the additional surface comprises a looped bottom surface for engaging the hooked top surface.

2. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , wherein the hook portion comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the connector is attached at the first end, and wherein the loop portion is attached at the second end.

3. The magnetic strap of claim 2 , wherein the magnet is positioned closer to the first end than the second end.

4. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , further comprising a second magnet.

5. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , wherein the connector is a buckle.

6. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is positioned between a looped bottom surface and the hooked top surface of the hooked portion.

7. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , further comprising a first weld configured for attaching the hook portion to the loop portion.

8. The magnetic strap of claim 7 , wherein the first weld comprises a flexible material.

9. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , further comprising a second weld configured for attaching the hook portion to the connector.

10. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , further comprising a weld configured for attaching the hook portion to the loop portion.

11. The magnetic strap of claim 10 , wherein the weld comprises a flexible material.

12. The magnetic strap of claim 1 , wherein the additional surface is joined with the hook portion.

13. A magnetic strap for removeably attaching an object to a metal surface, comprising:

a loop portion with a looped top surface and a first smooth bottom surface;

a hook portion with a hooked top surface and a second smooth bottom surface;

a connector;

a first magnet;

a second magnet;

a first top rubber portion, a second top rubber portion, a first bottom rubber portion, and a second bottom rubber portion, wherein the first magnet is located between the first top rubber portion and the first bottom rubber portion, and wherein the second magnet is located between the second top rubber portion and the second bottom rubber portion; and

an additional surface covering the first magnet and the second magnet, wherein the first top rubber portion and the second top rubber portion are attached to the additional surface, and wherein the first bottom rubber portion and second bottom rubber portion are attached to the second smooth bottom surface of the hook portion, and wherein the additional surface comprises a looped bottom surface for engaging the hooked top surface.

14. The magnetic strap of claim 13 , wherein the first magnet is located at a first distance D 1 from a first end, and wherein the second magnet is located at a second distance D 2 from a second end.

15. The magnetic strap of claim 14 , wherein the distance D 1 and the distance D 2 are substantially the same.

16. The magnetic strap of claim 13 , wherein the connector is a buckle.
