Magnetic Book Case Cover for Playbook???

I have a Magnetic Book Case Cover for Playbook. It has magnets on upper two edges. Can the magnets actually affect/destroy the playbook in any way???
Any help is welcome.....

Don't know that it would hurt your pb but guessing it would impact the magnetometer (I think that's what it's called ;)) for using the compass and great apps like What's Up.

the ebay leather/suede case i bought has magnets. been using it a couple months, seems to cause no ill effects. nicer looking case than the rim convertible case I had, it also provides easier access to the top buttons than the rim convertible case.

I have a case with magnets at the top corners. I checked my PB with and without the case, and the case seems to knock the compass readings off by about 8 to 10 degrees. I'd suggest that if you need a good compass reading for some reason that you take your PB out of the case.

I dont use any compass app usually. So are there any other defects or i can go for it???
Thanx buddy(in advance)
