I bought some sheet metal from the local hardware store and lined my walls with it. I do a lot of graphic oriented work so I chose to do this over a bulletin board which leaves papers torn and with holes.I started out by using black metal disk magnets, but they weren't very strong, left black residue on the papers and were so bulky they got in the way of what I was looking at. The Magcraft magnets are a great alternative.
They barely take up any viewing space, they're really strong, don't leave a residue and just look elegant on the wall.
The only bad side is that since they're small and flat (1/4" x 1/4" x 1/10"), they're really hard to get off the metal surface if they are flat against the wall. I found that they work extremely well if you place them on the 1/10" side so they protrude from the wall. They're much easier to grab, still strong on that side and look cool too.
In all, I ordered three packs of these, happy how they turned out and I am about to order more right now.
