You can test your case, by placing the phone on a desk, face up and wave your magnet over the face close to the surface. If the backlight doesn't come on, then your case is probably OK.
The video proves this fact.

I can see the case magnet tripping the screen sensor. I just don't think a magnet around a battery will somehow cause an increase in current and drain on battery.
