Maybe I'm not understanding. I read what she wrote as something totally different. She wants to cut off the bottom of the case to put on her necklace. What you propose is keeping the whole case intact and installing an eye bolt (?).


Exactly right, ireckon. I wear a necklace of a length of paracord with a photon on it. A tiny ferro rod would be a nice addition but I don't want anything bigger than the photon on it because it gets too clunky. The bottom part of those match cases seem about right. I could use the dremmel to make the plastic part even smaller.
