Doesn't the magnets in the cover affect the magnetic strips of the credit cards, wiping them out?

I keep two credit cards in the cover all the time. It has not had any effect on my credit cards.

I don't know about that, but the magnetic closure does affect the s pen when folded behind.

Yes there is. Just keep in mind, the magnet can demagnatize your cards making them useless.

it's a design flaw the magnet is in the MIDDLE section of the cover and so switches it off when you fold it back and it contacts the BACK of the kindle. (this should only happen when it is closed and touches the front of the kindle) . Mine cover does it too and I'm sending it back. I do not know if they have fixed this issue maybe a weaker magnet or having it placed in another section would fix the issue (but that would involve a redesign).

Hi yes, the cover uses magnets to keep the cover closed and turn the pad on when you open it. I've never noticed any interference. Works like a champ. I like this cover a lot more than the stock origami cover Amazon wants to match up with the Kindle Fire HDX. The origami cover felt weird to open, like it was peeling up in pieces. This cover looks and feels great, and gets a lot of positive comments. A super value at a third the cost of the origami cover.

yes it does. I've been told not to put my debit card or any card in there. the magnet will demagnitize the card...crazy huh?! If you have to, you can put something on either side of the card, like a business card and maybe that will help!

I don't believe so. I threw the packaging away......but I don't remember it mentioning magnets.

The cards are not magnetic. The board they come with is, so they have to be used with that board or something else magnetic.

I don't see a magnetic strip; however, the ipad does fit securely....very snuggly within the keyboard and I do carry it. I hope this answered your question.

Hi Leanna! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is no, it should not affect the integrity of your magnetic strip on your credit cards. I'm also grateful to hear from the other buyers that they have not experienced this issue either. Very informative answers. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

It will close magnetically with a card, a license and one bill, if the bill is folded into thirds. Any more than that and it will close, but not enough so that the magnets that hold it closed can engage.

Good question; but as a happy user of this wallet, there's no risk of damaging your card. The magnet is at the very top, away from the card space, and you'd have to put some effort into trying to actually damage your card for any damage to occur.I've been using this case/wallet since it's launch, and I've yet to damage any of my (8) cards.. I wouldn't put anything at the card opening at the back though, it's a bit too tight.Hope this helps..

Highly recommend not getting a magnet clasp. It will distort the touch screen and may ruin you external card. This happened to me with a magnetic clasp used with Note II.

No the magnet does not interfere. I am happy with my new wallet/phone case.

No... and don't EVER purchase ANY cover for ANY electronic device that has a magnet closure. Devices with computer chips and memory cards, such as smart phones, notes, pads, etc., can have their components and memory damaged by magnets.

No - although the $50 cover that looks the same (which I originally bought at the store) WAS magnetic.

It has not given me any trouble with the 2 cards (and Drivers License) that I keep in there 24/7. And they are the credit cards that I use for almost everything - so I'd know if the magnet was causing them trouble :)

Mine is slightly different than the one in the pic but No, just a flap and you wouldn't want a magnet close to your credit card or electronics.
