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????

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 of Luck

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.

IPhone case with a Magnetic Closure... Good or bad?

I am planning to buy a folding type case for my iPhone 4s that has a Magnetic closure...Is it safe to use it???will it harm my phone in any way??Please help..

You never stated anything earlier about Compass so I was talking about the magnetic case not having an effect on the iPhone itself. If you are attempting to use Compass of course that will have an effect since there is no way for the weak magnetic field of the earth to override the magnetic field of the case. So if you want to use Compass then don't use the magnetic case. If you want to use the magnetic case then don't use Compass. Simple.
You can't have it both ways.
I still stand by my original position the magnetic case will not effect the iPhone.

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.

Anybody adapt a iPhone case with or without Cover for a Z

I recently bought a Zen. I wanted to try out a case before buying out, but haven't been able to find a case in a store.
Last night I was looking at MicroCenter for a Zen case and I found an iphone case.
I like it, but I wish it had a cover.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/elansleeve
It comes with a plastic sheet to install on the Zen and is very close to the same size.
Zen Size WxHxD:? 3.26" x 2.6" x 0.44"
iPhone Size WxHxD:4.50" x 2.40" x 0.48"
So, the iPhone is over an inch longer,? just under a quarter of inch taller, and only 4/00ths thicker.
Since the Zen has a landscape orientation and iPhone has a portrait orientation, you need to switch their definition of height and width. I like it because it comes clip that will work portrait or landscape, but I do wish it had a cover.

IPhone Case With Wrist Strap?

Now that the iPhone 4 is a serious HD camcorder, and a much better stills camera, the need for a wrist strap is even greater. Products like the Flip Mino come with an integrated wrist strap hook, a little hole in the side of the device that allows you to thread a wrist strap through. But the iPhone 4 doesn't.
So my question is, does anyone know of any cases that have an integrated wrist strap hook? Failing that, are there any iPhone cases that have a fixed (non-removable) wrist strap?

Until my phone was stolen last night I had this exact Belkin Ergo:
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=512055
And I really liked it. The case was low profile enough to fit in the pocket of my jeans or purse, the strap was sturdy and springy (I tied a knot in it to make the loop smaller) and I was definitely using the **** out of it. The back of the phone is contoured with ridges which looks more helpful for shoulder cradling than it really is, but it does reduce slippage.
I recommend this product! I am buying a second one now, and am grateful you helped me refind the link without having to go through all my receipts.
The Interim below looks very nerve-wracking in terms of where the cable is attached.

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'
The image looks like this:

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

IPhone Case with real "clip"

Does anyone know of a case with a real clip? All the ones I have tried at the apple and AT&T stores have clips that are loose - they don't actually clamp down. For example, often I put the phone in my pocket with the clip on the outside - in this case I want the clip to clamp down on the pants. I like to do this so I can drop my keys into the same pocket and not have to worry about scratching the phone (since the phone sits higher in the pocket because of the clip....
Thanks!

I'm very happy with the black leather case from "incase" I got at the Apple store.

It's very sturdy and attractive. It tightly clamps onto either my belt or the top of my pants pocket when I've been carrying my new iPhone around this week.

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.

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:

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.

If so, it is a known problem that cases with magnetic closures cause low signal levels on the iPhone.
