Magnetically mountable tray device

A method for utilizing a magnetically mountable tray device comprising:

• providing the magnetically mountable tray device, the magnetically mountable tray device comprising,
• a mounting plate having a front planar surface and a back planar surface,
• a plurality of mounting magnets positioned along the back planar surface,
• a base plate having a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface,
• a plurality of through-holes positioned along and through the top planar surface;
• at least one hinge mechanically coupled along a back edge of the base plate and along the front planar surface of the mounting plate, and
• at least one support element positioned along the bottom planar surface and mechanically coupled thereto, wherein the at least one support element is positioned to contact the front surface of the mounting plate when the magnetically mountable tray device is in an open position;
• attaching the magnetically mountable tray device to a magnetically receptive surface;
• and
• moving the magnetically mountable tray device to the open position.
