What alternatives are there to velcro? I want something that will hold my light timber case against the back of a monitor and have the ability to remove said case for some tinkering any time I please. It doesn't have to be terribly strong, only as strong or stronger than velcro.
Magnets
Suction cups
Gecko toes

Not sure any of that is actually stronger than velcro though. Maybe the magnets.
There is a Dual Lock velcro-like product (also 3M I think?) that is comprised of plastic pegs that interlock to bond. Both sides are the same, unlike traditional velcro, and pretty strong. In an industrial application I found that it was stronger than the paint/finish on the wall when you don't pull it properly.
Have you considered interfacing with the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor? (if your particular monitor does not already use them for the stand)
I use the 3M wall strips with the velcro - like side. The package should tell you the weight it's rated for. I use the small ones to keep my cats out of the kitchen cabinets. They aren't as strong as the day I installed them but they still take some force before releasing. They're sold at wally world or any hardware store.
What the fuck is a timber case? Wooden computer case?

I was under the assumption he simply meant a light, wooden box.
