I was wondering that too. I don't put my credit cards in the case, so I would have no way of knowing that.

I've read something about that in the net but the consensus seems that the magnet does not pose a significant risk and so far no problem. But just in case, I don't keep the note in the pouch 24/7.

I have have this case now, and have had similar holders with the same magnetic removable cases for several years. I don't carry my credit cards in it all the time, but I have done so for occasions where I didn't want to carry my full purse. I have never had an issue with it erasing or affecting the data! I LOVE this case! Hope this helps.

I don't have a way to see if my credit cards are being scanned. I put my office electronic key in this and the wallet blocked it. A piece of foil on each side of a regular wallet also works. Those credit card sleeves DO NOT block my electronic door key from working, so I would never trust those.

I carry 1 extra id card in where I keep my cash & only put $20 in there since I use mainly my credit card for purchases. Sometimes I do put $40 & it fits nicely. No problem with the magnet holding it close :D

I haven't had any problems. Though last week when I was at a resort, I was told that having my room cards near my Iphone was deactivating my room cards. I've never had my Iphone deactivate a hotel room key before, so maybe it was the magnet in the wallet. However, it hasn't seemed to harm my credit/debit cards that I keep in it at all times.

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 :)

The magnet works just fine!..........no problems with electronics or pass cards.

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.

This is my second wallet from here & the only issues I've had were the material tearing for my ID cards & credit cards. I haven't experienced that but I flip my magents towards each card so their not facing the the front because I don't want the magnets scratched. I hope this helps �

A little round magnet, not really strong. However, I wouldn't put credit cards in the slots even if there wasn't a magnet.

I just bought one of these and it comes with a clear plastic protector for the back of the phone. If you are worried about radiation messing up the cards magnetic strip, I found a website that explains the strength of the magnetic field of a cell phone is not strong enough to bother the cards.

Hello. What it can read depends on what data is stored on the magnetic stripe. The data is original. If you want to get credit card number only, you may need to develop a program to pick up the card number. It is not the job of the reader. Thanks.

You are talking about CRT monitors which could be affected by magnets. New screens aren't affected. Also mechanical hard drives can be affected by strong magnetic fields but SSD and micro SD cards are not affected. I have been using 2 of these for my phone and my wife's in 2 different vehicles and have not had any problems with our electronic devices.

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..

normal magnets won't do anything to the strip, you would need a fairly strong magnet. there's an episode of mythbusters where they tried to wipe data using magnets, they had to use a high powered one extracted from a hard drive to wipe it. even if you do hold a credit card to a hard drive, it's magnetically shielded.

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:
