Hi I have a fine leather case from piel frama, with a magnetic closure.

I always thought that my N900's battery life sucked, but now I know why. The magnetic closure system activates the device!! It just switches it completely on, just like sliding out the keyboard.
I checked this with another magnetic closure case (from my E90) and the same happen!!!
This is a design flaw in the N900!!

@mtjioe, this 'bug' has been already discussed on this forum, you can join this thread

This is actually a problem of many sliders using magnets to discover keyboard slides. My ooold HTC Wizard had the same issue.

Hmm..yes, this is interesting. I wonder if it is possible to access this magnetic sensor and read its values...? If N900 can detect magnetic fields, that might have some applications..

Ha! Now I know why mine got ridiculously hot and the battery discharged while in the pouch with a magnetic closure.

The desing flaw is using a magnetic closure on case. Magnetism causes interferences to electronics, discharges batteries, etc..

A small magnetic exposure for a short time is harmless, but can cause serious damage like data loss if the exposure time increases.

Sorry for bad English.

I had this problem before, and my solution is put the N900' s screen face to you body in the leather case. That can avoid your phone is waken up by magnetic clip
