Guest RufusA Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Apologies in advance if this is stating the bleeding obvious, but I wish I'd thought about it earlier. I have a large bowl at home in to which I tend to shove in all the detritus from my pockets at the end of the day (i.e. car keys, cash, wallet, mobile phone etc.) which has served me well for years. However recently I've had some problems with cards. My train ticket stopped working in the barriers, my gym card no longer operates the turnstiles, my Sainsbury's reward card has stopped working etc. After all this seemingly random bad luck the coin suddenly dropped (literally) when I had to prise a 2p off my Vario II case this morning after it had become strangely attracted. The case obviously contains strong magnets - fine for the phone, but not so good for anything of a delicate magnetic nature that comes near it. So just a warning keep your train tickets, credit cards etc. away from that case! HTH - Rufus (mostly waiting for ticket inspectors to let me through the station barriers).

Guest randomelements Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Must admit, I've never used the case ever since I got the phone. Just didn't trust it! It may be stating the obvious but sometimes, even with the obvious, we need a gentle reminder :rolleyes: Good post!

Yup - this happened to me too - though only with the train ticket. I figured it was the phone - so i keep it well away now.
