    No permanent damage will happen. It’s possible the stylus position won’t register correctly on some of the screen for a while but usually a restart can fix it.

    Magnets touching the screen will definitely warp it, but I don’t think magnets touching the back will be a problem. I’m not 100% on that though

      I agree, otherwise those folios that stick on the device through magnetism wouldn’t be so popular.

    You’d need a lot more magnetic flux to do anything to a device with solid state electronics, so no worries :)

    The screen is exposed so yes depending what’s in the bag with it

    Go to Amazon and look at a Finti folio cheap $20ish and it will protect it well

    If it has a physical disk for its hard drive, don’t keep it next to it. Strong magnets can throw off the polarity of the ink display.
