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.

An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. The iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library. To make this computer the syncing computer
- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.

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.

Is it bad or will it damage your iPhone 5s battery if u charge anytime or best to charge is at 0%?

Plus how to improve battery?it seems to run out fast@@

Charge it anytime you like.
Allowing a Li-On battery (like the one in iOS devices) to drain completely is a very bad idea.

CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use.

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????

Anyone used a VAJA case with their iphone yet?

Specifically, I'm wondering which clip system (ultra vs rivet) folks have used, and how/why they like it.
And especially if anyone has yet tried the newer ivolution Top SP Holster... How practical is it? Why do you or don't you like it?
Thanks!!!

I have the Vaja Top Holster case and love it. And although this particular case I got sans clip, I have had ample experience with both... The ultra clip is heavy-duty (for larger and heavier devices), and moves about on only one axis (spins) - it's very substantial... The rivet clip system is based on a lighter duty "pin" mount, and moves much more freely about it. Also, the rivet clip system has more than one way to be affixed. Although it comes with the standard "Basic Kit" primarily intended for belts, and the like... You can also order the "Additional Kit" that contains a hook, a fabric mount and an adhesive mount... And also "Additional Kit 2" that has a "Kingpin Chain" mount (this one, I've never seen in person, only a picture).
My opinion on Vaja clips is that I generally prefer the ultra. I only use the rivet for much lighter and smaller devices, like the iPod nano. And although the rivet system is much, much more versatile, it flops about a bit too much for my taste. This is the reason I only chose it for nano... Truth be told though, if I had used a clip for iPhone, I would have chosen rivet, since it more closely matches the weight and size of the device.
Detailed info is posted on the Vaja website under "Info > Our Cases".
On the iPhone cases, I can relate two scenarios... I have the Top Holster that provides direct screen protection. In this case, you need to accept the 'dangling' cover when the phone is in-use, but which snaps into place when not being used to protect the glass front. My nieces didn't want the dangling cover, so they use the straight Holster, but keep them in Vaja leather bags when not in use... Whichever you prefer is a personal choice. Both are absolutely beautiful...
To tell the entire story, though, I also use a Vaja leather bag for my Top Holster equipped iPhone. This is to protect the beautiful leather from getting scratched...
Hope this helps.

IPhone 4S sounds crackly using my Scoshe Passport with my Scion 2009 XD

Hi there
I have a 2009 Scion XD with a dedicated iPod port. I use a Scoche Passport to be able to listen to my iPhone 4s with the Scion ipod cable and charge at the same time. It worked with my 3Gs. Now with my 4S it works but sounds crackly and has static.
Any suggestions?

I have the same thing happening with a 2009 XB
