Case question

[namichael]

I picked up this case and I really like the form factor. Adds very little bulk and it fits very snuggly. It has a magnet that holds the pull tab in place. I want to place the tab with the screen facing away from the front to get the full coverage over the screen. My question is can the magnet have any damaging effects to the screen?

The reason I ask is because if you guys have ever set a speaker too close to a television you know that the magnet will permantly turn the screen different colors. I'm just curious if the same could happen with the magnet from the case being that close to the screen of the tab.

I've been using the same case on my gTab 2 for a couple weeks now. I usually put the tab in the case with the screen facing outward for this very reason. However, my wife and friend have both put it in "backwards" a couple of times now. One evening, it stayed in there like that overnight and I have yet to see any affect.

Just my $.02, so I can't speak for any prolonged exposure.

Thanks for the reply. I doubt that it would cause any problems. I had a blackberry with a magnet clasp on the screen side of the case and it never caused any problems. I just wasn't sure with this particular kind of display. It's obvious they have made leaps of progress since the days of leaving a bass guitar amplifier too close to the tv and ending up with a purple screen.

Like you I'm going to play it safe though with the screen facing outward.
