I don't really get it either. I think that if people see that a 'better' quality bag is out there for the same price, that it is better to get the one with the better material or magnet in this case.
But I think my magnet is totally fine and I don't plan on doing cartwheels with my bag. But I'm not even sure if mine is a 'strong magnet' versus the weak ones that people keep encountering.
Lol right!
