    I've been using a Buzz Kidder sporran with a magnetic catch for about a year and it hasn't damaged my debit or credit cards.

    I had the same worry about the credit cards. But, I didn't really think they were in much danger. I guess small electronics (PDA, Ipod) would be safe too?? Anyone tote any of those things in their magnetic closure sporran?

    Danged if I don't like the zippers on the SWK Ballistic Nylon sporran...think they call it nightstalker or something for some reason.

    I fiddled and fumbled with the magnets and drawstrings and various sporran closure gee gaws...zippers just come naturally to this olde bird...

    Know zippers aren't fun/possible with leather, but if someone ever makes a zipper style in leather they're gonna sell a lot of them...heck, if SWK would have their source make up a brown ballistic nylon sporran it would sell well too.

    Zippers be best for me though.

    The only way the sporran will kill your credit card is by opening to let you pay for the next kilt.
    Tom I had the same problem with the push studs. Here's a design I came up with on the sporran I made a while back. It's silver and ebony but any workable metal should do. It's quite weighted and never comes open when i don't want it too and is very easy to open when I do.

    and riveted onto the leather.
