!! CAUTION !! Do not use MAGNETIC case

[Griffinaz]

It is possible that the case you mentioned was designed for a different phone and somehow causes a problem with the iPhone but I have used magnetic cases with my cell phones for many many many many years, to include all my Verizon phones, LG phones, iPhone, even my PDA's and PocketPC devices and none of the cases that are actually designed for those devices caused any problems what so ever. I have several cases for different devices made by Sena Cases and they are all magnetic cases. I got my iPhone back in October of last year and have used a leather magnetic closing case with it and never had any issues at all. I suspect that you either got phones from a bad batch (unlikely with the number of phones that you have had with the problems) or the case you have is fine for a Motorola phone but due to the overstrength battery is not designed to work safely with the iPhone. If you get a case designed for the iPhone with a magnetic closure you will probably find that you will have no problems with it at all. I would avoid that specific case and throw it away as that particular case could be dangerous.

I couldn't stand a velcro case. It'll _have_ to be magnetic. Glad I read this post. I'll have to look into this with care!

I've had two different Griffin Elan Holsters, and they have both broke in one way or the other. The Apple store I bought it from has no problem replacing them, but that is getting slightly old. I tried my old Blackberry Curve OEM leather case with a small magnetic flap, and so far, it works Great!!
As I have looked through this thread, I think it all leans towards the magnet being Not a problem, but I never saw an actual link to what Apple Really said about the subject.
Any updates from anybody on any Official info?????

4. Carefully remove the SIM card from its holder. To prevent damage to your SIM card and its memory, do not bend, scratch or expose it to static, electricity or magnetic fields.

Don't you recognize lawyer-speak when you see it?
