No. Why would it? The official kindle case from Amazon also uses magnets to help keep it closed and that's how the auto sleep/wake function works....

Quite a few of the cases use magnets to hold them closed, and so I don't think it's likely to be a problem.

You have a valid question and I cannot verify if this would cause any technical issues. If I were concerned about this as a potential issue, I would contact someone in the computer field that has had some experience with magnets. We have used these magnets for some time and have not experienced any computer problems. Sorry I could not be of more assistance to you. These are powerful magnets and helped us accomplish collecting staples from paperwork.

All my bear motion leather covers have very good magnet fastening, my hubbyband I both like the magnet hlding the cover snug when the tablet is not in use. We have Bear Motion covers on our Samsung 10.1 tablets and I have one of thie covers on my Kindke Fire generation one 7 inch tablet. The magnet has not affected the tablet at all.

The magnets in mine made my paperwhite constantly malfunction. No matter how I had the cover it would sporadically turn on and off or get stuck on sleep mode.

Does opening or closing the case turn the Kindle on or off? In a word, no. The case does appear to have a magnetic latch, but the case does not turn the device on or off.

Good question. Thin magnets keep the cover closed. It also helps in keeping it open and folded back, when the tablet is positioned on a table in landscape position.

It has a magnet, you should be fine. Never had an issue. It's a perfect case for the tablet (as long as you don't have young kids using it!).

It looks to me like the slim tabs at the centers of the open edges hold magnetic components. These work just fine to keep the cover closed. Somehow they also turn off my kindle screen when shut. BTW- I love the sleekness of this cover- it's easy on the hands and feels like it was made as one with the Kindle..

It depends if your device is solid state or not. If it is solid state that means there are no moving parts so the magnets wont hurt anything. If your device is not solid state then you should power it completely off every time you store your laptop and move it. And if you do this properly, the magnets shouldnt have any affect on it. Also, the magnets are very small and not really what Id consider any threat to your device.

Yes. I had the same problem and had to return it. Your best off taking your kindle to a store and trying it in cases. I found the best selection at Walmart.

I have the original fire and it is perfect. The device is held tightly and has never moved. It also closes flat. There is nothing that holds the cover closed but it has never been an issue for me. My daughter tried her original kindle with the "next" buttons on the side and it does not fit that device but the fire does and I would recommend it to anyone!

I've had this case for over a year and the Kindle works fine. The magnet on the clasp is actually quite weak. It is strong enough to keep the clasp shut but I can't imagine it would affect anything else.

Hi Ana R.! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

So Lisa your Kindle is slipped in tightly in the case, correct? Then you have the Kindle turned on? If your answers are yes then you should have a nice snug fit when you close case. OK now open an your Kindle should wake up. Hope this helps.

Yes, the cover has a magnetic (not visible) closure. If you have not completely turned the power off, the kindle will turn on as you open the cover and will turn off (to sleep mode) when you close it.

I went to kindle's live chat and got the following informtion; They will need to insert nail between the case and the Kindle and move the nail from one edge to another. The case will come loose and pop-up and thus, they'll be able to take it out.

there are two small magnets that help hold the flap on the case closed. The magnets have not interfered in any way with my tablet, it works normally.
