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 :)

You may make people jealous, but... sure.

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

thanks for the answers guys. maybe i was cautious because of my ptsd from the times i deleted my homework from the floppy disk while inside my pocket.

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.

Feels like a potential feature, when are they gonna partner with a laptop mfg as an attachment?

You should get a cover anyway for safety and it will make a little buffer.
