neodymyium magnets on iphone case

I have Iphone 11pro max, i want to glue 4 pencil eraser size Neodymium magnets to the back of my otter box case. Other than maybe affecting the camera, will this be ok for the phone and also the wireless charging? . Thanks for your time.

It will most likely mess up the compass and possibly the reed switches that are used to tell if a flip case is closed.


Just an FYI, I've tried gluing those chrome plated neodymyium magnets using just about every glue type I could find. It never holds, the surface is just too smooth for the glue to get a good grip.
