They are a bit pricey as bags go, but exceptionally well made and thought out, as are all their bags. As I understand it, the stuff in cards that stores things is changed form 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 electrically, so magnetism is of no concern. And yes, the the magnets in the bag are quite strong. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Williams Sent: Monday, June 03, 2013 11:29 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] SD cards & magnets or quietest bag I use Think Tank bags with "silencers" on the velcro. Great to use at weddings. Solid state drives/card are supposed to be immune to magnets from what I've read.
