Will the magnets in the case/wallet demagnetize any of my cards?

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 :)

It will not demagnetize the cards... My wife has had this for well over a year and nothing has gone wrong. She even likes to take it out of the case and hang the phone on the fridge and listen to music while she's cooking or doing dishes. It's an awesome product.

The magnet is strong, so I would say it's definitely possible. I don't keep any cards in the slotted side, since it looks like it would be a really tight fit. The phone cover/wallet is so great, I love it & am constantly having people ask me where I got it. I keep my credit cards in my wallet so I would suggest you do the same so nothing happens. Hope this helps!

I have been using my case for quite a while now and not had any problem with that,my biggest concern is Iam ready to move up to a I-phone 5 and I will need a different case :(

I have a magnet key card placed in my card holder. Holder is very tight and cannot place anything else inside the holder at one time. Might have enough room for two business cards only, but holder is very tight. Hope that helps.

Could not say for sure as I stopped using it as the magnets caused issue with my screen. I would be concerned what the magnets might do to the cards. If they replaced the magnets with Velcro this could have been a very nice case.

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.

This is my second one, first was on an iPhone 4 and second is on a 5s, keep a Debit, 2 credit cards and my drivers license in the case and have not had any problems with any of them getting demagnitized. I do alternate the cards so the magnetic strips do not touch one another, but have not had any issues in the past 18+ months I've used the flex cases.

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.

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.

No the magnet does not interfere. I am happy with my new wallet/phone case.

I haven't had any indication that there are magnets in this case. I'd be surprised if there were.

It did demagnetized my credit card and hotel room key while traveling. Loved the case though so I stopped putting cards in it.

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.

I just added 9 credit cards, 3 per slot, just to see. :-) The slots are flexible enough to hold them. It's a bit bulky, but the magnet clasp still was able to close. I normally only carry my ID and 2 cards, plus a few folded bills (currently 6 bills) in the back and it lays very flat. I make sure to put my cards in with the magnet strip closest to the fold (inside) away from the magnet to avoid the magnet accidentally deactivating them. I've had it, have been using it everyday, for over two months now with no issues.

Hi Ana R.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device.

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

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.

No. Definitely not. There are only room for the cards. They are so tight they ripped of the data lock on two of my cards making them useless. I sent it back and bought a different case.

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