Help Could magnets damage my EVO?

I'm using an old phone case to carry my EVO because it fits perfectly. I'm concerned because there are 2 magnets, one on the closing flap of the case, and one on the case itself. The 2 magnets attract each other to insure the case stays closed. Can these magnets potentially damage my phone?
 
If magnets can cause damage, there would have been warnings all over the place stating such. I have not seen any such warnings in the manual or anywhere in the phone. So my guess would be a "no".
 
I wouldn't set my phone on the exposed magnet on the back of a speaker if I was ever in the situation to do so but I don't worry about the relatively weak magnets in a case. I've been using a magnetic case for mine since December with no issues and carried my Moment in the same case for over a year.
 
Powerful magnets can always cause issues...those magnets should not. My hip case has them and I have had no issues.

How very American of you... lol

There are lots of things that can damage your phone for which there are not "warnings all over the place" FYI

Sorry but I agree with trader on this for something as obvious as magnets in cases. If there was a good chance that the magnets would damage the phone or cause it to lose data there would be a sticker. Thank a lawyer next time you see one if you can catch him in his $200k lambo...
