Does the magnetic strip deactivate the debit cards?

I've only had my DL in the spot. I have not put CC there as I'm wasn't sure if the magnetic strip would deactivate the CC.

No, not that I've experienced. It's a small, round button-like magnet in the middle of the case, and if you put your credit card on the top level of slots, magnet side facing away from the magnet closure, you should be fine!!! :)

Yes, it has a magnetic strip and I have not had a problem keeping it closed. I carry it in a large bag back and forth to work and it has always stayed closed.

Hi Carolina.I really dont know.I only have the One Touch Machine that I use the strips on.

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.

Because the card reader is connected to USB and seen by the computer as a mass storage device .. no matter what type of card is inserted. When you do a safe to remove the computer disables the entire card reader. I use a card reader that plugs into one of the USB ports, so all I have to do is ... safe to remove ... then unplug it ... then plug it back in. Your dashboard is OK thats just the way it is .. inconvienent though. Regards, Fred

That's not a magnetic closure, it basically has a little thing that on the back of the case and u can insert the little flip to close the case. I hope u can understand what I am trying to describe. And since my last case was magnetic closure too, it wouldn't make any damage of the credit card strips :)

It did demagnetized my credit card and hotel room key while traveling. Loved the case though so I stopped putting cards in it.

I have not had a problem, but also never deliberately exposed cards to the magnets!

The only way to know, is to try a specific RFI reader. Then you know it will protect from that reader. With this product, I've asked immigration to try reading my passport before it was out of the sleeve. They couldn't. And I asked my bank to try reading my smart chip equipped bank card with theirs. They couldn't. Regular credit/ATM cards are not RFI, they are magnetic. Try running it through a reader at Walmart while in the sleeve. it won't work.

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

No, this is not a magnetic switch, a magnetic switch is active, that is, to enable or disable need a electrical impulse. If you need the switch turns off when the power is disconnected, look for a active magnetic switch. This switch is mechanical.

Yes, but here is the proof. Sherry is also associate director of the Rogers Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center and a radiology professor at the university's Southwestern Medical Center. In other words, he's got plenty of magnetic experience for our purposes. He heard us out and politely corrected our assumption about the relationship between the strength of the magnet and its power over the data on the stripe. "The field strength isn't all that important," he said. "Even the refrigerator magnet should work eventually." So what was the deciding factor? Exposure time. "It is well known that magnets will wipe out information on credit card stripes," Sherry said. "However, it doesn't always happen after one exposure. It may take several exposures for the card to be deactivated, but it will happen eventually."

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:

I don't use it for credit cards.But the magnet is not very big,so it shouldn't effect it.

There is no special slots for cd and credit cards. I have run credit cards thru regular slot with no problem. I have not shredded cd's

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.
