The magnet is on the holder itself, covered by a rubber sleeve. A thin plate of metal is stuck to the phone/case. The magnet uses this plate for an attachment point. I've used this method on my phones for years without any issues, but perhaps the pine phone has it's internals in places that other phone don't or is less protected in some way. I like my pine phone and don't want to mess it up!
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with using magnetic holders on the pine phone. Or if anyone can say whether or not the pine phone would be effected by using this method.
Any ideas?
