Will magnets in the keyboard & iPad damage my laptop hard disk if I place the keyboard & iPad next to my laptop in my bag? What about credit cards?

dont personally know but there are strong magnets in the logitech keyboard, more importantly that keyboard will damage your iPad when the keyboard imperceptably cracks and allows your iPad to fall out

I owned the Logitech keyboard for a short time but during that period I forgot about the magnets! I did place the keyboard next to my laptop and rested a credit card on top of the keyboard and there was no apparent damage, but it doesn't mean that it couldn't happen with extended exposure. I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly just to be sure. Good luck!

Magnet's actually do have a negative effect, and it's not just the hard drive/ssd/or microsd that you have to be concerned with. Magnetic closure's have been shown to cause battery drain, and if you read up on this you will find that since a battery has negative/positive charges, just like a magnet, it can cause anywhere from significant, to moderate battery consumption while the tablet is nestled in the case turned off. I don't own this case, but I would always advise avoiding magnets with electronic devices at all cost!

The magnetic clasp is VERY STRONG and sticks right away when you near the two magnets together. I was actually surprised of how strong the magnet is to the both of them, and very good question by you. Now, with the Macbook Pro 15; without the disk drive, the laptop itself is BARELY loose, perhaps like less than an inch! So you don't have to worry of the laptop wallowing around while you walk with the case. I yet have not been disappointed with this case. I hope this helps you.

Yes. Magnetic tip will wear down quickly but have disassembled my MacBook Pro and reassembled it several times. Replaced memory units once then just opened to blow the insides clean.

Nope. It does affect my work id. Demagnetized when I would pin it with it but I stopped doing that. Credit cards are safe

Good question; but as a happy user of this wallet, there's no risk of damaging your card. The magnet is at the very top, away from the card space, and you'd have to put some effort into trying to actually damage your card for any damage to occur. I've been using this case/wallet since it's launch, and I've yet to damage any of my (8) cards.. I wouldn't put anything at the card opening at the back though, it's a bit too tight. Hope this helps..

No. I've not had a problem with that. The magnetic closer keeps it in place well. Plus the keyboard is removable if you worry about that.

The keyboard connects via magnets in the side of the iPad, so I did have to stop using the case. However the keyboard leaves the back of the iPad exposed when closed, and the whole thing looked so dangerously fragile I bought a slip case to keep it in. I'd recommend that.

It has not given me any trouble with the 2 cards (and Drivers License) that I keep in there 24/7. And they are the credit cards that I use for almost everything - so I'd know if the magnet was causing them trouble :)

Hard to tell but would guess that keyboard would break before any damage to iPad would happen. This is just from looking at design and how it fits the iPad. Great little keyboard so to be safe...just don't drop it.

You need an incredibly strong magnet dragging past the platters of a hard drive to effect it. Magnets that you can pull off of a steel plate with your bare hands dont hurt computers anymore, thats a floppy disk era problem. -Your friendly neighborhood Sysadmin.

No. The iPad sits in a trough like groove in the keyboard and it is a static angle and a rigid structure. I have found this very nice as the whole thing does not flop flat or slide apart if I set it on my lap or move it around while using it.

No it does not have a magnetic connection anywhere thus it does not "lock" into the keyboard. If tilted back too far the iPad will fall backward but don't worry, iPad will not fall out of case. It is very snug/tight fit. Let me know if you have further questions.

I've had the FLOTE M2 for about a month, and we use it every night. We have seen on effects from the magnet at all. Now if the iPad had a traditional hard drive, I might be concerned.

This keyboard will not protect the iPad from drops, bumps, nor scratches. The keyboard has a magnetic attachment to the keyboard and serves as a cover while closed. It is very sleek and does not add much thickness to the iPad at all, so as a unit they can be easily tucked inside a secure carrying case.

Highly recommend not getting a magnet clasp. It will distort the touch screen and may ruin you external card. This happened to me with a magnetic clasp used with Note II.

I have had no problems with the magnet affecting the hard drive in any way.I have bluetooth headphones and put the Nano with case in my pocket and go hiking with it located in the front of my pants....no issues.
