In this paper we present Magneto Wear, a magnetic wearable device in the form of bracelet that could be used to interact physically with the back of the smartphone to perform several personalized actions on the smartphone. The bracelet that we have designed consist of four magnetic points, on the diametrically opposite ends of the bracelet and the back of the smartphone can be used to tap on any one of these points to trigger certain personalized action or activity associated with that point on the smartphone. These actions can be modulated and personalized through a mobile application depending upon the user's needs and context of use. We have illustrated several scenarios wherein such interactions can be leveraged to minimize user's effort and improve their experience while interacting with the smartphone in their daily life
