Accessories Case with magnetic closure and the Incredible?

[Smudgie]

I am going to be in need of a case for my Incredible. I have read that the leather ones with the flap that operate with a magnet in order to keep the flap closed can damage some phones. I am currently looking at a few holsters/leather cases (on VZ's site) that use a magnet to keep the flap closed. Can anyone comment on whether or not these cases will have any adverse effects on the INcredible? Thanks

I've been using the Incipio Bond Street Holster (for iPhone) since I got it on Thursday with no adverse effects.

I've been using the leather belt cases with magnetic flap for years. Used one on my Eris, and now the Incredible. No adverse effects that I can see.

I have the Verizon Gel Case on my Incredible, and found perfect belt cases with magnetic closure on Ebay. I searched for HTC HD2 case, and the Incredible with Gel case fits perfectly.

just make sure if you are getting a case with a magnet flap, that you stay away from the cases with exposed metal magnets or metal buttons that can mar your screen.

Im sure some people dont have problems with these types of cases, but evertime i heard my previous phones, slip into my case and the metal tab hits the screen, i cringe..

ok....have read somewhere that the magnets can damage the phone.

I'm using an old BB holster (with magnet) with no adverse effects.
In fact, I think I'm just going to buy the silicone case and keep using this holster.

I'm using the HTC branded leather holder with two magnets sewn into the lining of the flap. No adverse effects whatsoever
