does the magnet effect your credit cards?

Hi Lhamokyi, the case won't hold two cards at the same time. If you are referring to whether or not it affects the scan strip of credit cards, no it doesn't affect it at all. I hope this helps :)

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

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!

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!!! :)

I've had this on my phone for a few months with no issue, I generally try to be cautious around the laptop and things with spinning hard drives, as the magnet is pretty powerful (which is awesome) I also try to be careful with credit cards, but I've definitely stuck them in the same pocket a few times, and they all still work. The magnet can also easily be taken out to eliminate any possibility of damage.

You have a valid question and I cannot verify if this would cause any technical issues. If I were concerned about this as a potential issue, I would contact someone in the computer field that has had some experience with magnets. We have used these magnets for some time and have not experienced any computer problems. Sorry I could not be of more assistance to you. These are powerful magnets and helped us accomplish collecting staples from paperwork.

Thanks for asking this! I bought a mount with a magnet on the plate and it killed every single credit card in my purse!

I have used this wallet for several months now. The magnet clasps on the back side of the phone portion and has caused no difficulty with either the phone function or the credit card strips.

No it does not. Also if you should have more than 3 cards the magnet does not hold it closed. It was perfect for me and a great size for jeans pockets. Very well made also.

There is not a magnet on the version with the flowers, but the reviews are all mixed. There is a magnet for the "slim profile" ones and yes it does ruin credit cards.

A little round magnet, not really strong. However, I wouldn't put credit cards in the slots even if there wasn't a magnet.

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

It will close magnetically with a card, a license and one bill, if the bill is folded into thirds. Any more than that and it will close, but not enough so that the magnets that hold it closed can engage.

Hello. What it can read depends on what data is stored on the magnetic stripe. The data is original. If you want to get credit card number only, you may need to develop a program to pick up the card number. It is not the job of the reader. Thanks.

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.

No, nothing in the smartflex card case to protect your credit cards from any demagnetization. Just a spring mechanism to apply pressure to your cards to prevent them from falling out.

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

Hi Josh, I am not sure if the wallet case is loaded with credit cards that they will not effect the NFC from the back of the phone.
