Does the magnet interfere with credit/transit cards?

Not so far. I can scan my work badge through the wallet and my cards all work fine.

I have not had any problems with the magnet ruining my credit cards or cell phone. The Running Buddy is the perfect running accessory.

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.

Magnetic, but if you put about 4 cards + in the case, it won't really stay shut even with the magnet

No it won't. I can't even put more than one card in the slots without the magnet popping up and case opening.

Hi. Actually there is no magnet. If fact nothing holds it closed. It is just basically a wallet with a plastic holder for the phone. I can carry my cash and cards.

yes it has a magnet that helps keep the case closed. I have been using it and have not had any problems with credit/debit cards. I am still happy with the product. I purchased white and it has gotten dirty so I will be ordering a darker color.

I've had issues where it interferes with my card when used as a keypass, but never demagnetize

Good question! The metal plate is not magnetic at all. But here's even better news: I use an iPhone case that has a rear thin wallet holding my driver's license, one debit card, and a couple of business cards. I use the debit card a lot. Even though it's right next to the magnet when the phone is attached to the mount, there is no degradation in function for the debit card.

The magnet is only in the mount. The metal plate you attach to your phone is not magnetized. So it will not interfere with credo cards at all

Hi Ana R.! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

I don't have a way to see if my credit cards are being scanned. I put my office electronic key in this and the wallet blocked it. A piece of foil on each side of a regular wallet also works. Those credit card sleeves DO NOT block my electronic door key from working, so I would never trust those.

I haven't. There is an insert that comes with the case that tells you the best way to insert your credit/debit cards to prevent them from becoming de-magnetized.

I haven't had any problems. Though last week when I was at a resort, I was told that having my room cards near my Iphone was deactivating my room cards. I've never had my Iphone deactivate a hotel room key before, so maybe it was the magnet in the wallet. However, it hasn't seemed to harm my credit/debit cards that I keep in it at all times.

there are two small magnets that help hold the flap on the case closed. The magnets have not interfered in any way with my tablet, it works normally.

Hi Leanna! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is no, it should not affect the integrity of your magnetic strip on your credit cards. I'm also grateful to hear from the other buyers that they have not experienced this issue either. Very informative answers. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

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