I will try to be gentle ;-)
I see one huge issue with the magnet as shown. Not with magnetic field, but with placing it directly above the center of the screen. The screen is THE most fragile part of the device. Screen is THE thing that the case is supposed to protect. This case works as a focus for the force applied to the front of the case/kindle, directing it to a small spot in the center of the screen.
An example.
If you place "naked" kindle between two books and press them together, nothing will happen. When you place kindle inside your cover between two books and apply a little bit of pressure, the result would be cracked screen.
This is the issue with the vast majority of cases I have seen. Why do you make super thin gadget and thin case, only to double the thickness by placing large magnet with fastening strap right on the top?
I used to grumble about the case Sony PRS-500 had, yet it is the best case for reader I have ever seen. The device is held in by a large snap connector at the back of the device and the cover was held closed by magnets located inside the reader. No clunky holding straps, no large magnets or straps doubling the thickness of device in cover.
