Skip_intro, Ripplinger, Sabredog, thanks for your replies.
I felt reassured by what you said about the magnets:

The Gecko covers would be no different in this regard

I don't know how magnetic clasps effect readers, but I have had bank/creidt cards wiped by a magnetic clasp on a purse ; I always get purses with other closures now.

Now, I don't know what to do. I'm very fond of my PRS-T1 (it's also my first ereader
), so I wouldn't want to put it in a case that might shorten its life. On the other hand, all book-style cases I've seen (and a few sleeves as well) use magnetic clasps. Any thoughts please?
