    I have seen a plastic box where the lid is held very firmly closed
    with a pair of small magnets flush set into the lip. The box was
    difficult to open due to the smooth surfaces and lack of any groove
    for the finger nail. The parting line was not easily visible, and
    much force was needed to pull the magnets directly apart. 

    Perhaps this could be improved to meet your needs by somehow
    enabling the magnets to be slid apart sideways, or enabling one of
    the magnets to be rotated to the opposite pole whereby the lid will
    magically spring open.
