One of the many accessories that is available to any user of a tablet is its case, and there are two kinds of available cases in the market – magnetized and those which do not have magnets in its structure. At first, you would think that it is more convenient to have a magnetized case, and rightfully so. You do not have to constantly fully turn the cover and sometimes, these are the ones which you can easily fold which are very evident among Apple users. However, that might not always be the case and certain individuals complain about magnetized cases causing particular side effects on a tablet’s touch screen digitizer.

The tablet case is a very important accessory for anyone who has the device. It protects the screen from being scratched by any kind of sharp materials that you may have accidentally placed in your bag. That is why it is better to have one that has a magnet in it. In addition, it also makes for a very good addition to your device’s aesthetics.

On the other hand, again, there have been reports regarding after effects that these magnetized tablet cases have on the touch screen ...
... digitizer. According to these, it causes lines to form on the screen and some dead spots making it impossible for the entire screen to be called “touch screen”.

To kill the rumors: Yes, magnets can cause these problems in a tablet, particularly the strong ones. However, strong magnets are not found in magnet tablet cases. These are just the weak ones, and manufacturers may have known that when they produced their cases.

The lines and the dead spots usually occurs only when the magnet is rubbed on the surface strong and more frequently enough causing the metals to become magnetized. It is just like what you learned from your science projects in school. Due to the parts, particularly the digitizer becoming magnetized, its reaction to the magnet causes the part to malfunction causing the said lines and dead spots on the screen.

Yes, this is very possible, again, only if magnet in the case is strong enough and is rubbed more frequently, but that is not the case. You may have to rub the screen of the tablet for days in order for that to happen, but again, the issue of the magnet’s strength makes it almost impossible.
Yes, as mentioned above, there may have been reports surrounding the issue, but the magnetized cases may not have been the cause of it. It may have been pointe to the case because of unexplained reasons, and that is something that company manufacturers of these devices need to explore, and it may boil down to the touch screen digitizer.

Like any technological component, it deteriorates by the time you use it for the first time, and by that, it is also possible that it is the digitizer’s fault or the component responsible for display.
There are so many components that can be blamed. However, companies of these devices will never admit it. Blaming a part, means blaming their quality, and that is one aspect that these companies do not want to risk their reputation on.
