This is a case designed to hold a dental flipper/retainer/dentures, but made to be as small as possible. I found that almost all similar products on the market to be far larger than necessary, making it impractical to carry them in your pocket. The case uses a pair of M3 bolts and captive hex nuts as a hinge, and a pair of magnets to keep it closed.

Assembly notes:
- you'll definitely want to use the captive nuts. Without them, one of the bolts will constantly try to back itself out over time, because the hinging action is effectively unscrewing it.

- Take care to mark the polarity of the magnets before super gluing them into the recesses, and make sure that the polarity matches when flipped. If any of the 4 magnets has the wrong polarity, then the whole thing will have to be tossed, because it will try to repel the halves instead of keeping them closed.

- The recesses for the magnets are a bit oversized because I thought I might need to double them up to get the necessary
