Magnetic flip case holster okay with iPhone?

I've been looking for a holster that will work with the iPhone. However I have the rubber case (not the one with the plastic cover) that fits around the edge.

Because of this none of the holster-type cases work, they're all too small. I found one that it does fit in but it has one of those magnetic flap things that hold it closed. Will this affect the phone?

Nope, Blackberry uses similar cases and have no effect on reception, and I would assume the same would be for the iPhone.

Does the Blackberry have an actual hard drive in it? I may be wrong but doesn't the iPhone have one? Magnets and hard drives don't go well together, so I've heard. Then again, I'm old school so it may not be an issue anymore.

The iPhone doesn't have a magnetic hard drive. It uses Flash memory.
