Ok... this is an amusing issue...

I tend to avoid magnets, but not because I think they'll affect my PDA or my flashcards. Actually, reading that other thread, I was surprised to find that SanDisk warns against putting their cards in strong magnetic fields. Then again, SanDisk's SD quality is so low that it would surprise me that magnetic fields can affect them.

That being said, the reason I tend to stay away from magnets is because I have small pocket drives in aluminum and plastic cases. It's not likely that the magnetic field from a clasp - especially if clasped - it likely to harm anything - but why risk it?
