How strong is the magnet. Will it affect electronics or pass cards?

I have been wearing my glasses in bed for several months. They are strong enough to stay clicked but will the glasses flex if I fall asleep with them on so they don't break. I don't think they are strong enough to affect CC cards or ID passcards. I haven't noticed any decrease in magnet power with months of use.

It hasn't bother anything so far! The magnet appears to be strong. My husband has worn these for six months or so and just loves them. He wears them around his neck all day and when he needs to read or sign something, he's all set!!

The glasses hang closer to the neck and I have never had a problem with the magnet interfering with my phone or ipad nor have I had any problems with my passcard which is attached to a lanyard around my neck that hangs down around midriff level. The magnet is about the same strength as you would find on a magnetic closure on a purse or any phone/electronics case. It's strong enough to hold it together but separates easily when pulled apart. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. My husband uses his cell phone while he has him on. As for the cards I honestly don't know. Sorry

I don't think they are that strong since they keep detaching themselves, very annoying.I wouldn't worry about anything happening to electronics. Hope this helps.

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.

No. I've used this case for about 4 months now. My phone hasn't suffered any effects from the magnet. It's a great, sturdy case.

I just bought one of these and it comes with a clear plastic protector for the back of the phone. If you are worried about radiation messing up the cards magnetic strip, I found a website that explains the strength of the magnetic field of a cell phone is not strong enough to bother the cards.

No... and don't EVER purchase ANY cover for ANY electronic device that has a magnet closure. Devices with computer chips and memory cards, such as smart phones, notes, pads, etc., can have their components and memory damaged by magnets.

No, not that I've experienced. It's a small, round button-like magnet in the middle of the case, and if you put your credit card on the top level of slots, magnet side facing away from the magnet closure, you should be fine!!! :)

It is a magnet. It closes tight containing 3 id/debit cards and a few bills.

I have not had any issues with my debit/ credit cards. I typically put my license in front of debit card and another non-magnetic strip ID on the other side closest to the magnet. So far, so good.

No. Which is good because magnets are bad for credit cards you would potentially put in the little pockets. There is also a bigger pocket, kind of how a wallet has that space for cash. I hope I made sense with my description.

The photo ID w/magnetic stripe must be removed to swipe in a card reader. I am however able to leave multiple magnetic access cards in the pouch and they work just fine in proximity to the access control door locks.

I am not sure you should contact the maker of your device, but most times you dont want strong magnets in or around memory type devices.

The magnets do not affect credit cards, hotel keys or electronics. The magnets can affect magnetic tape such as that found in cassette or 8-track tapes. We would recommend you not run with those items while wearing the Running Buddy. :) Hope that helps!

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields.

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.

While I have not had anything happen - the magnet it really strong and you should not keep it close to any electronics.

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
