I'm interested in purchasing this for my husband who repairs iPads, iPods, and iPhones as a hobby...would this be helpful or would the magnetic strength be prohibitive with the tiny screws used for these types of devices? It wouldnt be helpful if he...

The magnet is strong enough to keep all my pins in it without falling out but it's not so strong that I can't grab them. I think it is designed for your application!

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.

I have had no trouble with mine. So no not that I know of. And the magnets are not very strong so you should be fine.

The individual bits are not magnetic. The 1/4' and 5/16" adapters, the bit extender, and of course the magnetic screw holder are. If you use any of these (except the 5/16" adapter) with the bits, then the bits will exhibit magnetic characteristics as well.

Your iPad is shielded from magnetic fields. There are some phone mounts that use a magnet directly on the phones. YMMV.

altought is an excelent screwdriver and has torx bits (iphone uses torx bits) the iphone's screws are very tiny, you must buy a screwdriver for iphone screws (exclusive)

Hi! I know that the video published with the intent to market this item is interesting and promotes this interesting idea that this plug can attached to a mounting plate in order to get rid of electrical cords, but I just could not accomplish this because my desktop table is made of solid plastic. I did not by item for the mounting plate, I bought it because I could plug the iPod Touch for instance and also because my big tension bar was gathering dust. Additionally, it simply seems to me too that I did not receive screws with the mounting plate, which is not a surprise at companies do try to save money, but as I am not sure at all of this fact I prefer saying to you that I do ignore the presence of screws in the packaging at first. In the case you took the time to take a look at the wholes in the mounting plate, they are about 2 millimeters large, then you have to find screws that fit in a whole measuring 2 millimeters. It is that simple. 2 short screws able to fit in this size. I have that size at home and it should do the thing I am sure. Good luck with your assemblage of the whole thing, and have a good day!

I don't believe the magnets are strong enough. This is a series of small magnets mounted inside steel bar. It's really not quite strong enough for heavy duty tools, such as large pliers.

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields.

As far as I know, the only magnetic portion is the hinge that clips to the iPad. It doesn't hold the iPad closed.

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

Sure, you could do that. Obviously, the open/close function would not work - it depends on movement of the magnet portion. But the temperature and acceleration functions should still work.

Strong magnet shouldn't be a problem. I anchored mine at the bottom with extra strength Velcro. Love it may get a second!

Yes, no problem, it has no magnetic parts on it. AND the stand is sturdy and strong, will hole a tablet, and a heavy portfolio of music with no tipping problems.

I am wondering the exact same thing as I'm deciding whether to get the magnetized or un-magnetized Gorillapod. I plan on using the tripod on my monitor and plasma TV, as well as storing it in my bag where I carry my phone, credit cards, and other electronics. I'm leaning towards the magnetized version right now, but I hope having the convenience of mounting it to metal won't come at the cost of damaging my other devices.

It is a fairly strong magnet. I would imagine it would depend the tensile strength of the bend in the metal. Also, if it is a screen, good chance it is made of Aluminum which is not magnetic and no magnet is going to help. But if the metal is magnetic, this tool has good strength.

I don't have one to try it but I think it might not because the edges of the ipad will be covered so I doubt the magnet on the cover will be strong enough to attach to the ipad
