I have seen one (but only one) report so far of someone who had a 3G iPad in a case with a magnetic closure reporting that the magnets interfered with the compass inside the iPad. I have two questions regarding this...
1. Has anyone else tested whether this is true, and either confirmed (or refuted) that this is the case?
2. What exactly is the implication if the compass is messed up. Does that mean the entire process of 3G GPS location is screwed up? If not, then who cares....does any functionality of the machine at all really depend upon a working internal compass?
I guess I'm just confused about whether this is anything I should be worrying about. The report I read about it was in the context of a review of the Marware Eco-Vue case, which is exactly the one I am strongly considering purchasing.
TIA for any help...
