    My Versatile Solar setup

    The magnets are a great idea. I use magnets like that to keep some of my drawers and cabinet doors closed. To prevent paint damage, stick a piece of clear packaging tape at the spot where the magnets will be.

    When I was having problems, I started up Opera with VPN enabled and Craigslist loaded fine. I also connected using my 4620 which is 3G and that also was okay.

    Charge port wearing out on your device?

    Brilliant concept. If you search Amazon for "magnetic connector" you will also find other brands. There are also right angle versions. Some are charge only. If you want data, make sure you get the kind that do both charge and data.
