do you have any concerns about the magnet affecting the phone's performance or erasing card info your pocket?

Considering that Magnets only affect mechanical storage devices, no! Your phone or device should be entirely Solid State Memory, or Flash memory. And those types of memory are not affected by small magnet fields like this one. I have had no problems with mine at all.

Well if I did, and in fact I did....I no longer am worried about it. The magnetic part of the setup is attached to the air vent on the dash. There aren't any magnets attached to the phone when it is not attached to the air vent. The magnet is on the Tetrax device. There is a steel button attached approximately centered on the back of the phone and it is not magnetized. I have it attached to the dashboard for about 2.5 hours per day and over the last couple of months have not had any data problems with the phone whatsoever. Holds a Note 2 like it was nailed on the dash.

Sorry for the delay in response. I have no concerns about magnetic interference - I haven't seen any issues with the screen, and my phone seems to be just fine after quite a lot of use in my car with the Tetrax. I hope that's useful to you.

yeah, and keys or other things in your pocket ? I'm thinking it makes about a thousand times more sense to put the ferrous metal on the phone, and the magnet on the dash. Shame too, sounded like a clever device until I realized I'd be carrying a powerful magnet in my pocket.

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.

In my experience I would say absolutely not. I'm not sure what effects the magnet theoretically could have on it (i.e. music skipping or something), but I have close to 2,200 songs on mine (16gb) and I have not seen any negative effects at all.

No, your phone has a metal plate, not the magnet. The magnetic part is on the large piece that attatchs to your CD player. In any sense I think it takes a large magnet to mess with your stuff.

according to this, as long as the magnet is 1 inch away from the magnetic strip, it should be ok. I just opened my wallet and checked, if you place the card in the card slot so the magnetic strip is farther rather than close to the magnet, its about an inch away. I don't think that it will destroy the cards.http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/demagnetization-ruin-credit-card-magnetic-stripe-1273.php

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

Nope:) the cover part has a nice thick (but not bulky) either plastic or cardboard, plus with cards and or cash it can't really do any damage. It's not a mega strong magnet. I haven't seen any signs of damage to my phone and this was also a concern of mine. I still highly recommend this case.

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.

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.

Thanks for your inquire. The magnetic ring will not affect your phone. please feel free to purchase it. thanks.

No... and don't EVER purchase ANY cover for ANY electronic device that has a magnet closure. Devices with computer chips and memory cards, such as smart phones, notes, pads, etc., can have their components and memory damaged by magnets.

Hi. Actually there is no magnet. If fact nothing holds it closed. It is just basically a wallet with a plastic holder for the phone. I can carry my cash and cards.

That has not been a problem so far. I've only had it about one week, but I would think if the magnet was going to erase anything, it would have done it by now.

I haven't had that issue at all. It actually helps keep my phone cool and the magnet is facing the screen so it doesn't cause any problems mechanically. Best case I've brought.

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!!! :)

Today's cell phone "compasses" are gps based, not magnetic. There will be no interference by any magnet at any time. Rest assured.
