magnetic closure and credit cards - isn't that a problem?
787071
I have no idea about problem because I never put my credit card too closed to the phone. In fact I don't use it any more, mine is pink, it looks not as good as I thought. And what more I can tell you is that it is a little out of shape now, if I'm not the first reviewer, I won't give it three stars. But maybe the black one is better.

It could damage credit cards after prolonged exposure if that's what you're carrying around. You really can't put that many items in the slots if you actually want it to close.

No, it's all one piece. And I don't know that you would want a magnet that close to credit cards and your phone anyway. It does fold down to average wallet size, depending on how many credit cards, cash, etc. that you carry. I have a smaller version (I don't have the flip up wallet part; mine holds three credit cards) and folds like a book, just like this one. My son-in-law always liked mine but lamented that he needed more space to carry paper money, more credit cards, etc. I found this and it's perfect. He is not a cellphone junkie so I think if you are on the phone a lot, this might not be the thing for you. It would be somewhat cumbersome to have your wallet up to your ear all the time.

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 closure is magnetic. This is better for me since I often fold the front flap around to the back and the magnetic part keeps the flap/cover from just hanging in the way. This is good for games or extended texting.

Yes, the case closure is magnetic. After 2 months it is still working very well

I have used mine for only a couple of weeks but so far I have experienced no problems of that type.I like the magnet closure system over a snap or Velcro as I have used in the past on other cell phones cases.

I have had no problem with my credit cards. I have had the case for about 2 months and seen no problem as of now. But I only try to carry one credit card on me and I put that card in the front pocket.

Yes there is. Just keep in mind, the magnet can demagnatize your cards making them useless.

I haven't had any problems with the magnets in the wallet. Or with the cards rubbing in it.

I don't usually place anything with magnetic strips, hence any magnetic field can potentially demagnetize credit cards, etc.

I have not had a problem, but also never deliberately exposed cards to the magnets!

I've never had a problem with demagnetized credit cards. Check out the myth busters episode on this.

I haven't experienced any issues with the magnet. I usually try to keep my cards with magnetic strips in my wallet though, for fear of ruining them.

I carry 1 extra id card in where I keep my cash & only put $20 in there since I use mainly my credit card for purchases. Sometimes I do put $40 & it fits nicely. No problem with the magnet holding it close :D

I've had this case since March and from the start, I've had my debit/credit cards (and id) tucked inside it. I've never had a problem with demagnetizing yet.

Yes it is, however the slots are not large enough for any credit cards. Also the underside of the jeweled strap came loose and I had to superglue it back together so the magnetic closure would work

Mine is snap on. I believe the earlier versions were magnetized. There is "wallet" on one side for credit cards and it is metal.
