Ill post some images later.

Looking forward to the Airstream review. I plan on picking one up soon.

My latest creation, a waist bag.

Three hidden magnets secure the front flap:

You made that? If so, NICE! Looks professional quality and craftsmanship.

Glad I could help. I tried to find photos of it in practical use myself and couldn't, so I figured I would add some pictures for someone looking for something similar. The bag is pretty beefy. Was a lot bigger than I expected.

I'll try and throw some shots up after I get mine as well then.

Very nice bag JDubya, if I didn't know better I'd say it was factory made. What sort of prices do your bags carry? I bet it won't be long before someone says something like magnets and electronics are a bad mix xD.

Magnets are used on cellphone cases. They also put the phone to sleep/standby. Blackberry cases does this and some holsters as well.

here's a picture of my gear, and thats not even everything.

Jealous! But I'm thinking this is overkill. You have to have tons of overlap between your lenses .

So I got my Crumpler 7MDH today. 2 days earlier than expected. Sucks seeing all that velcro coming off and stuck to the fabric. Been trying to figure out how to set up the padding.

I really should post a pic of my setup at some point .

I know they have little to no effect on electronic devices, I was pointing out how it's a common misconception.

The question is of course if it is a misconception.

Some phones do have a real magnetic compass sensor, instead of relying on GPS to indicate the orientation of the phone. An unexpected magnet around the phone will make it point in the wrong direction. (Of course, the majority of phones do just fake a compass, requiring the user to walk to get reasonable values from the GPS)

Some phones - like my N900 - use a magnet to tell the position of the sliding keyboard. So some N900 bags with magnets results in strange behaviour.

Hard disks have been the traditional reason why people have been scared about magnets, but hard disks requires huge magnetic fields for the field strength inside the disk reaching the level that it will affect the recorded data.

The question isn't if magnetics are bad for electronics. Just that magnets at the wrong place can give very unexpected results. So the conception that magnets may result in problems is very real.

In this case, I can't see any real negative results from it. No one cares about the compass in their phone when storing the phone in the camera bag. And the distance is most probably big enough that camera bodies that may make use of magnets for some trick aren't affected. The field strength drops quickly with distance.

But in the end, people should keep an eye on bags with magnets, so they don't interfere with some feature in their electronic devices.

And about design and visible workmanship - that bag looks stunning. Are you doing this kind of work professionally, or just so very extremely gifted?

Please do. I have a Nikon D7000 with grip and trying to figure out the best solution for the padding. I'll post pics of mine when I get home after work.

I was on about the misconception that they can permanently damage the electronics, such as erasing memory cards. For those devices that rely on magnets there's still little chance of permanent damage, compasses can be reset by waving the phone about (all of the compass apps on my phone actually advise this), and the switches won't be damaged but rather won't function correctly whilst in the presence of the magnet so at worst your phone will think the keyboard is slid out.
