A case with magnets.

Hello there,
I've recently bought a 120GB iPod. Since it's my very first iPod, i'm a little worried about its safety. And got http://www.caselogic.com/ipodclassic_trade_120_gb_fitted_case/productdetail/index.cfm?modelid=108941 as a leather case. But it has 2 little magnets, on the bottom right and the left for proper handling and protection.
So, can these magnets hurt my iPod? or is it safe to use that case =)?
Thanks for your help.

I've used cases like these for years on various different iPods without any ill effects.
I agree with GLNHP, the magnets are simply not powerful enough to cause harm.

Macbook Air case with magnets. Will it affect hardware or performance of product?

Macbook Air case with magnets. Will it affect hardware or performance of product?

No, the low power N30 or N35 gauss neodymium magnets in the magnetic flap cases will not affect it.
There is no HD, and the SSD are hard (relatively) to corrupt by magnetic field unless high gauss and at close proximity.

Will I damage my iPhone 4s if I use a flip case with magnetic fastening?

I want to buy a case that I can use to protect the whole of my iPhone and so I need to buy a flip case with a magnetic fastening. However, I have heard rumour that this will damage the compass and navigation on my phone and other various utilities and also ruin the actual touch screen. Is this true or am I safe to go ahead and buy a case?
Thank you for reading :-)

No, It will not damage the compass but it might cause it to be inaccurate.

BEWARE of cases with magnetic latches - they can fry a di

I believe I have completely destroyed the hard disk on two Micros by keeping them in a mini leather case with very strong magnetic latches (don't know the brand - bought them at Best Buy). The fold down flap has a magnetic strip right along the bottom, and that sits right over the touchpad.
In both cases the Micro died, with a corrupted disk, after I let the flap close quickly Wouldn't turn on or off, and could not scan the disk or format in Recovery Mode. I'm 99% sure that the transient in the magnetic field zonked the disks in each case. Both Micros were only one day old. I didn't realize what happened the first time. Fortunately the store replaced them...

I've been using a Pacific Design case with a front flap and magnets that hold it down for the past 6 months. I have not experienced any issues at all with my player. It has not frozen, skipped, or any other problems.
The front flaps are held down very securely with 4 small magnets. 2 are on the end corners of the case and 2 are at the end fla
ps.
The hard dri've is right there at the bottom.
The magnets are soo strong that if they come within 3/4 of an inch from each other they will pull themselves together quickly and close with a fairly loud 'bang'

Again I have not experienced any problems at all with my player, and its been inside this case for the past 6 months, and my player uses the same dri've as the Zen MicroMessage Edited by DM on 0-4-2005 02:34 AM

Cases With Magnets Bad for the Touch?

Is it true that one should not buy a case for the Touch with a magnetic clasp? Does anybody have one?

MacLife had a warning about that so I e-mailed Griffin about their new case. This is what they e-mailed me back:

Thanks for your interest.

IPhone Case with magnetic closure

I bought a belt case for my iPhone. It's actually designed for a Samsung, but fits the iPhone quite well. It has a flap that folds over the top and closes with a magnetic catch. Can the magnet affect the phone at all?

Well, I've had the iPhone in the case... but no more than a couple of hours at a time. So far nothing wrong... but I only realized last night that it may be an issue was wanted to find out for sure.
Surely if Samsung designed the case for their own phone and it doesn't harm them, it should be ok. Right????

TS2917 Macbook pro retina leather case with magnets

I've bought a new expensive leather case for my new macbook pro retina display. I've had my macbook accidentally fall asleep 3 or 4 times already.
So, does it mean that I have to throw away that case? Or is it okay to keep using it unless I'm keeping it away when i turn on my macbook? What would you recommend to do?

Don't use it. Magnet will have an effect on sleep function.

Any problem with magnetic case?

Hi, my iPad leather case has magnet on the side, is there any possibility of damage to the screen or flash memory when it is exposed to the magnetic field? I use inky the wifi version which doesn't have compass.

There are many ipad, iphone, and itouch cases that use magnets. The only issue I've ever heard of is with the magnet possibly causing interference with the iphone (see link below).
I assume you are talking about the marware case. This is a popular case, and I strongly suspect that we would know by now if there was an issue. I have one on order.

Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?

The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.

Iphone case w/magnet

Have a carrying case from the BB storm I tossed, it has a small magnet on the cover (functioned as a sleep mode trigger for the storm), any concern with using this with the IPhone?

As neuroanatomist indicated:
+"It may cause problems, may not."+
A case with a magnet caused minor (so to speak) issues with my iPhone. I would find that the iPhone would turn itself full-off, requiring a Reset one or more times a day.
Once I had the "white screen of death" that needed a Reset as well.
This never happened with the iPhone before the magnetic closure case. I went to another case (w/o any magnets) and have never had the problems re-occur.
I would (and do) avoid any case with a magnet, but that's just my opinion based on some personal observations.
Draw your own conclusions. Or do a Google search -- You'll be surprised with the number of hits (and anecdotes).

Best Ipad3 case with keyboard? Can I use a Ipad 2 case for Ipad 3?

I just bought the Ipad3 and I need to buy the case, but all the cases I found are for the Ipad 2 - are the Ipad 2 and 3 the same size? Can I use same case?
Which one is the best case with keyboard for ipad 3?
Thanks!

First, we have a whole bunch of threads on this, so a search would help, and it would offer dozens of answers to this you might want to think about including a long thread where I reviewed a whole bunch of keyboards for the ipad3....
But in short,
The Zagg Folio fits both the 2 and the 3 -- most people are finding in general that almost all cases made for the ipad 2 work with the iPad 3....
The Zagg has what I have found to be, by far, the best keyboard with the least errors -- in fact, I was able to get about 60 wpm on the keyboard without error after only a few minutes of practice. The downside is that the case is flimsy, looks kinda cheap, and its really hard to get the iPad out of the folio case -- I've found I have stopped using the folio at all, and just use the keyboard on my desk at work.
The clamcase fits both the ipad 2 and the iPad 3 -- it is by far the best overall case/keyboard that I have found. It looks great -- and the keyboard works well. Because of the realignment of the magnets in the ipad 3, it does not turn on/turn off the iPad like it does with the ipad 2, where that works flawlessly.
The downside is that the keys are cramped, and the error rate increases. With about a half hour of practice, I got about a 45 wmp typing rate, and that included several errors that required correction. It's a tradeoff because the keyboard feels good, the response is good, but because the keys are not seperated it is harder to type. I use this case only when I go on longer trips and don't want to take my laptop.
The nest overall keyboard is the Apple bluetooth keyboard without a case -- but it's a pain to lug it along, and you need a seperate "easel" for your ipad. Still, it's the best keyboard you can use -- and I get 65 wpm error free with this keyboard. I have one at home, and it's my keyboard of choice when you don't need the case.
Finally, I've gound that Brookstone makes a decent keyboard -- it works well, comes in multiple colors, and its actually more stable than the Zagg folio. The keyboard is not as good, though, and is plastic-y feeling. Still, it might be a fair tradeoff.
Almost all other keyboards are made by the same companies and distributed to third parties who put them into their own cases. I'd stay away from most of the other keyboards.
Overall -- for the convenience of the sheer folio thing, the Clamcase is about as good as it gets, even though it is about 50 dollars more than the Zagg and other similar models. Plus it makes your iPad look like a macbook, which is kind of cool.

IPod nano case with protective screen, available in store (looking for one)

Hey, im looking forward to buy my first mp3 player, and its gonna be a white iPod Nano. I read alot of reviews, and some people have problems with scratches, and their screen cracking. I am really concerned about the screen cracking.
Is there a good quality protective case with a screen protector, (maybe a wheel protecter, not noccesary though), that is sold at major stores (wal-mart, circuit city, bestbuy, etc)? Price can be an issue too, so not too expensive. Thanks in advance!
