do the magnets mess with functionality of credit cards, if your phone and wallet are near each other, say in a purse, when the phone is not mounted?

The magnet is only in the car mount, not in the part that goes in the phone. So no it won't erase anything.

The magnet's in the base. So it's what you attach to your car. Little metal cards are all your phone would have on them.

I carry my wallet and phone together in a small purse or in my hand. I have not had any problems with my credit cards.

Thanks for asking this! I bought a mount with a magnet on the plate and it killed every single credit card in my purse!

The phone just has a magnetic plate on it the actual magnet is on the base mount.

Good question! The metal plate is not magnetic at all. But here's even better news: I use an iPhone case that has a rear thin wallet holding my driver's license, one debit card, and a couple of business cards. I use the debit card a lot. Even though it's right next to the magnet when the phone is attached to the mount, there is no degradation in function for the debit card.

There is one small magnet on the strap for the case I have and not a snap button. I have had my credit cards in it for quite a while now but have not had any issues with my credit cards not working. I believe it would take a more powerful magnet to make that happen. With that said you can only get away with putting a few cards and a few dollar bills in the case or otherwise it's too thick and the magnet won't keep it shut. But it's still a great case.

Oops. Reread question. Stand by my earlier statement, but there isn't protection between phone and cards. But I put a clear screen protector on the back of my phone and that does the job.

I've had this on my phone for a few months with no issue, I generally try to be cautious around the laptop and things with spinning hard drives, as the magnet is pretty powerful (which is awesome) I also try to be careful with credit cards, but I've definitely stuck them in the same pocket a few times, and they all still work. The magnet can also easily be taken out to eliminate any possibility of damage.

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

I have put my debit card briefly when going out but not on a regular basis. No problem with it when I have done that. It seems like the leather is a barrier to the magnetic clasp (and it is not a super strong magnet clasp either.) Hope this helps and keep everyone posted ? Thanks and hope this helps a little.

No, the magnet will not affect the phone in anyway. It will prevent you from charging wireless if you have a wireless charger like the qi

I haven't experienced any issues with the magnet. I usually try to keep my cards with magnetic strips in my wallet though, for fear of ruining them.

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..

yes it has a magnet that helps keep the case closed. I have been using it and have not had any problems with credit/debit cards. I am still happy with the product. I purchased white and it has gotten dirty so I will be ordering a darker color.

If the magnet were in the mount, then the phone would only be able to magnetize to the mount itself. The magnet being on the phone means it can attach to anything metal, not just the mount.

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

Hi there, Excellent question Jay! Metal disrupts the signal between the NFC tags and your device. As a result, you're likely to get erratic behaviour from the tags if they're used in conjunction with any metal, including the metal on a phone case. Hope that helps! Justin WhizTags

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

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.

Good question , I've never put my credit cards in it...not a strong magnet and the case might be thick enough to protect but not sure. It's cute. Maybe someone else knows ?!

I've accidentally put my badge with these magnets in my pocket with my iPhone pretty much everyday. Haven't had an issue yet, but wouldn't want to tempt fate by doing it on purpose.
