your gonna ruin your phone slowly with that magnetic case

Magnets have zero affect on LCD screens..

CRT - now that's another matter.

My first quick post was just a smartass answer. I guess I am an older member than I realized. The PPC-6700 and 6800 came with magnetic cases, The screen will power on with a magnet due to this being how screen rotation works. It isn't a problem pulling it out, but it is a HUGE issue when putting it in. Especially given that hitting the talk or d-pad will dial the last person called. I have had some VERY awkward calls in the past with this issue. VERY awkward indeed. HTC went to Velcro cases with the 6950 and I HATE it. The sound drives me batty. I used to wear slacks and a belt every day and I carried mine in the magnetic case. When you learn about the turn on issue you make sure to be more careful of putting it in, you can never make that Velcro silent though. Unless you watch Garden State. They will change your life you know...

Sorry to return to topic but...I found that if I simply slide the phone in the case the other way round it does not turn it on i.e. screen away from the magnet / back facing out.

Back off topic! haha. But all you guys are torturing me. Arguing who had there's first and what not. GRRR I say to you, because I am on Verizon and DO NOT own a TP2 yet and have no official release date

. Just a crummy speculation date.
