Has anyone experienced a problem with the phone de-magnetizing their credit cards and hotel card keys using the SmartFlex Card Case?

I haven't had any issues with my cards. They've worked perfectly fine and I use this case on a daily basis. Haven't changed the case for about 3 months now that I think about it!

I've had issues where it interferes with my card when used as a keypass, but never demagnetize

This is my second one, first was on an iPhone 4 and second is on a 5s, keep a Debit, 2 credit cards and my drivers license in the case and have not had any problems with any of them getting demagnitized. I do alternate the cards so the magnetic strips do not touch one another, but have not had any issues in the past 18+ months I've used the flex cases.

I haven't tried a hotel key, but I haven't had any issues with credit/debit cards.

No. I had this case for my last phone as well, and have not had any problems with de-magnetizing. I would mention that pulling them in and out can cause wear on cards so I position accordingly

No issues here in the year and a half since I've had my cards with my phone.

I've been using this case as my wallet exclusively since November 2013 and all my cards are still perfect.

I have not experienced an problems with the magnetic catch or case. In fact, If I am not mistaken, thet magnetic part of the catch is located on the bottom of the case - beneath and away from the keyboard. Thus, I could not see how the magnet would impact the screen area. WIth that said, the catch does require attention to properly secure the case. Othewwise, I have not experienced any problems thus far.

Good question. I was also concerned. So far no issue. I had a hotel room catd not work but not sure if that was the cause. I try not to have my cards touch the magnet.

I've never had a problem with demagnetized credit cards. Check out the myth busters episode on this.

I didn't use that case very long. For some reason it caused my phone to turn off. I don't know if it was the magnet in the cover or what. I switched to another case and had no problem. II gave it another try and it happened again so I discarded it.

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 &#128522;

It will not demagnetize the cards... My wife has had this for well over a year and nothing has gone wrong. She even likes to take it out of the case and hang the phone on the fridge and listen to music while she's cooking or doing dishes. It's an awesome product.

Nope. It does affect my work id. Demagnetized when I would pin it with it but I stopped doing that. Credit cards are safe

I haven't had any troubles. I don't think it's powerful enough to cause any damage, otherwise it would be quite a poor design flaw. Several smartphone and tablet cases utilize such methods to secure the device.

No, nothing in the smartflex card case to protect your credit cards from any demagnetization. Just a spring mechanism to apply pressure to your cards to prevent them from falling out.

I haven't. There is an insert that comes with the case that tells you the best way to insert your credit/debit cards to prevent them from becoming de-magnetized.

No damage to iPhone or compass ( gps generated vs mechanical ) but it will and I assure you it WILL mess up your credit cards , hotel room keys and watches .. Happened several times

I have had this product for eight months and like it a lot. No problem with regular credit cards, magnetic signal is strong. But have had some problems with hotel keys and paper parking tickets with weaker mag stripes. Overall I love it. Only suggestion would be to wrap the casing a bit more over the top of the phone for protection.

Yes since I have used this case my phone acts very strange. It calls whoever it wants and stays out all hours of the night. It has doveloped a serious drinking problem and recently starting hitting me.. Other than that it is just a magnetic case

I've been using mine continually for several months and haven't had a problem. I also don't take the phone in and out, so don't know how it would stand up to that.

No. So far I had no problems with that. Also, magnets are quite strong and they will keep your phone safe while riding!

Yes, happens all the time with mine. My wife has a Kindle brand case and has had no problems. I think I will switch!
