Re: Magnetic Belt Clip/Holster

This subject keeps starting arguments, but it's really no big deal.

I had a case with quite strong magnets that I used for my old Titan & it worked perfectly. When I got the TouchPro, the two phones where close enough in size that I started using the same case for the TP.

The magnetic case caused the TP to answer (& occasionally disconnect) an incoming call as I tried to remove it from the case. It took me probably two weeks to figure out what was going on. At that point, I had another case that was virtually identical except it was a Velcro flap model (& I hated that). I hated the Velcro setup, but the phone worked perfectly in that case (& it was a LOT harder to open that flap than the magnetic one)

I now use PocketShield to lock the phone now & I'm 95% sure if I had been using it back then that I never would have had the problem. I wanted to test that out but I can't find the magnetic case & I don't really care anyway.

Other than being slightly annoying, I don't think it was doing any damage whatever & with a proper lock it probably never would have happened anyway.
