There's no hard drive in iPhones. It's all flash drives, magnets does not affect anything, see the iPad2/3 Smart Cover for example. For the iPhone 4 I had the same type case from spigen for two years and the phone works fine. It's a nice case
Got a tip for us?

Anyhow, the magnets become weeker in time. If you got a case with "click-lock" , then it wont be a problem. I want one of those click lockers 
Iam pretty certain that I need something that covers the whole phone. Like a case in leather that has a clip closure on the top.
I found this too, and I like it, the only problem is that its open on the top. Which I dont like.

These look great! Ordered one just now. I'm really impressed by the price, I thought they'd be twice as much.
All the ones that look like that have the magnet on the strap. Maybe this might work but I've never had or seen these cases before.

Looks ugly , sorry. But thanks!
Yeah Ive been looking at the snugg. The only problem I can see is if I wear screenprotectors on that phone so it wont fit? Btw, the snugg has an open top.
The spigen-cases are the best but they have magnets
Agreed. Plus, if you're walking along, pulling a suitcase or carrying a laptop bag then you must stop - since you need both hands.
Well there's the "HEX Code Wallet" for the iphone 4. Don't know if they're planning an iphone 5 version:

Yea overall, spigen is the best and protects the top too. The only things is the fit is tight but I'm sure it will loosen over time. I woulnt worry about the magnet stuff. It's pretty much a myth. Computers have speaker magnets sitting over the harddrives. It really takes a super strong magnet to wipe a drive or affect needles. Everything in the iPhones are solid chips sitting in silicon, resins, and stuff. No moving parts noting to worry about.
That looks better. But still wanting a subtle looking case. Black.
And one con with that case is that its got a "hard" case inside which makes scratches to the phone.
What you're explaining is pretty much tumbling me over ,but Iam still paranoid. Very well-written but Iam still not amused. I will think of it every night like, what if that case destroys my phones components, lol.
I will, at very least, think that the phone is slower and things like that so HELL no
I just ordered this case! Similar to bookbook but I like the actual phone-holding area better, and how easy it is to pop in/out. They have a slighter cheaper version without the card holders too.

I will take pics but I don't expect to receive it until the end of October. It doesn't ship for another 2 weeks and I'm international.. stuck an incipio dualpro case on for now, already hating it haha.
Thats a really nice looking sleeve. Iam on the verge of ordering one. Even though I told myself multiple times that I should get one with lock over the top...
Not going to lie and say I love these designs but this is the way it should be done.

Just ordered a Colcasack for use at home, mostly. Might just take it with me sometimes til I get a leathercase.
Now the thing I just figured out is that I can use a silicone case + screenprotectors and still it fits in the Colcasack. Now thats the big PLUS for that sack.

this sleeve looks so clean and sleek .. hows the pocket feature .. do things fall out .. or is it pretty snug??
