doesn't the magnet affect the hard drive?

I personally have not experienced any problem of that nature thus far. So, I would have to say no or at least not yet. I guess only time will tell.

There is no magnet. It's a faux leather case with a plastic try the iPod slides into.

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.

In my experience I would say absolutely not. I'm not sure what effects the magnet theoretically could have on it (i.e. music skipping or something), but I have close to 2,200 songs on mine (16gb) and I have not seen any negative effects at all.

i believe it is because the "on" switch is still in the "on" position. the drive stays on until it is removed from the desktop and switched off.

From my own experience convinced that the magnet does not change the operating characteristics of the phone. Connection via Wifi and bluetooth is installed with all the devices in the car (DVR and native receiver) without problems.

Yes. Powering the harddrive may be an issue if the harddrive requires power from a separate power plug (ie. other than the data connector plug).

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.

You are talking about CRT monitors which could be affected by magnets. New screens aren't affected. Also mechanical hard drives can be affected by strong magnetic fields but SSD and micro SD cards are not affected. I have been using 2 of these for my phone and my wife's in 2 different vehicles and have not had any problems with our electronic devices.

Do NOT use this for a PC because it's magnetic! It's fine if you use it to seal a PC tower, but I really don't recommend using it for a hard drive.

As far as I know, I'd say yes, I don't think the magnets will effect the newer hard drives. In any case what I can tell you is that I have a Toshiba Laptop that I place right in the middle of both speakers on a small table and have never experienced a problem. The sound is awesome from these speakers, they are initially set for a natural symphonic sound curve but they respond nicely to any EQ adjustments for listening preference.

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

It involves magnetic field generation but the disolved minerals only change properties based on specific Mhz and opposite polarities. So a magnet won't do anything.

Yes, it does. To be honest the magnetic had moved dom it place after a month.

I don't believe so. I threw the packaging away......but I don't remember it mentioning magnets.

All i can tell you is that i using my find i used google as my GPS to provide real time directions to a store i was going to . No problems the magnet seemingly had no affect. hope this helps

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

No because measuring part holds the magnet away from surface. - no contact of magnet

Gordon, I would not count on these being magnetically shielded. Don't know for a fact that they are not, but I would not park these next to my hard drive.
