Are magnetic gym bags safe for phones? Myths, facts & 5 tips

Worried about magnets and phones? Most concerns are myths. Modern smartphones handle everyday magnets; at most, the compass may need recalibration. Five quick tips:


 

  1. Stick to painted steel. Best grip.

  2. Use shielded magnets. A magnetic gym bag designed for daily use is fine.

  3. Mind pacemakers/sensitive gear. Keep distance per device guidance.

  4. Test the hold first. Stainless/heavily textured surfaces reduce grip.

  5. Give items a home. With a magnetic bag, phone, keys and bottle stay at eye level.

    Bottom line: less clutter, fewer drops. Try AOV MagBag.
