what does the magnet do

I thought the magnet kept the cover closed when I threw it into the car but, according to the description, it activates the sleep/wake feature.

It puts the kindle to "sleep" when you close the kindle, similar function to some laptops

It's magnetic...so it comes right off. It actually comes off a little too easy if it gets jarred, in my opinion.

The switch is (no) when there is no magnet present. With a magnet this switch will be closed until you open the door. This ringing the bell when the door is opened. Hope that help you.

There is a sort of lip on the middle right side and that is where the magnet is.

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.

I've never had the need to use the magnet for that type of weight. But I just do see it being used objects that heavy. I beleive the extension piece would give out too. It's great for a dropped tool or small piece of hardware. Nothing heavy-duty

Magnet does not stick. It is made from aluminum. (btw, I am not the owner, I bought one and very happy with it :))

No magnet. Clings pretty tightly, though. It's a good product. Turns 360 degrees, and the typewriter makes it so you doon't have to constantly change screens.

It is not a magnet, it is a ceramic ferrite bead choke used to eliminate high frequency noise. Usually these are not removable and are molded onto the cable.

There is a magnet inside the flat board, near the top. I can tell it helps to hold my iPad and keep it from falling forward. I don't believe that magnets this weak can damage the digital readers, because my keyboard connects to my iPad magnetically and I've been using that for years.

The magnet is built into the cover and works automatically when the cover is closed (sleep mode) or open (wake mode).

No the magnet is a strong one and located on base...it is meant to attach to a hood, roof, or or sides of vehicle when using the emergency flashing strobe light or flashlight. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't, it's sadly cheap. It probably was originally supposed to, but the magnets are so weak they don't really go anything. Sorry

Magnet. I really like it. I have an iPhone 5s with a Mophie extended battery and it fits fine.

It's basically just a magnet that is supposed to bind to the metals in the minerals in the water. It has no effect in my particular situation but might work if there was a higher mineral content in the local water supply.
