Quartet magnetic kitchen dry erase board

My wife bought this dry erase board made by Quartet to be able to write quick messages or lists in the kitchen. Zillions of people have these, but here's what is problematic:

Pulling the marker from its holder takes about the same amount of torque to pull the board off of the refrigerator, because the board's magnets are so flimsy. Every time it falls (4 out of 5 times I've used it), it is aggravating and wastes time (why make it?). Also, the brand label was adhered to the board itself with adhesive that is very difficult to clean off, so upon first use, the residual adhesive made some of the black ink stick to it, leaving ungainly spots.
