Guys, I did a search but came up nothing.
I browsed the web lately and i save an important file in a new diskette. On my way home, i held the diskette together with my p910i with its case. I accidentally placed the diskette on the magnetic side of the casing. After that, I found out that the diskette was unusable when i arrived home.
Is there any risk of having our phone's memory or the mms duo do the same fate due to the casing's magnetic field?
Please enlighten..

I wouldn't have thouht so as the Memory Cards make use of flash memory, rather thatn the magnetic storage of older floppy disks. But I'd keep them seperate anyway, jusy in case.

I've been using the case for ages (both P900 and P910) with no problems at all. I don't think they'd have designed it like that if there was a risk.
Ask Rocky said, cards are flash, not magnetic media. And the screen is LCD (not like a CRT monitor that will get messed-up by a magnet).

I've been using leather cases with magnetic enclosures for years now,with different celfone brands and no worries since then . . . but at times I really prefer using leather case with VELCRO enclosures . . .

Brand new disks these days are extremely cheap and nasty, even if you buy quality brands.
And the disk drive you used it in? How old was it? The old ones are mostly failing and the new ones are of such poor quality it's not funny.
I very much doubt your experience has anything to do with the phone.
Here's a test you can do. Get a floppy disk and save ~900k of random crap on it you don't care about. Double check beforehand you can reread all the data off (because disk/disk drive quality is so terrible) so you know the disk/drive is OK.
Now get all the fridge magnets you can find and throw them in a plastic bag, along with your disk. Shake your new magnet bag around for a while, 1 or 2 minutes etc.
Stick the disk back in the drive. You'll be able to read all your data off.
Here's another reference.

i have used a few diskettes over the years and i have broken a few, but not with magnets, actually hard punches and drops seems to be worse for them, thats a little strange since all is afraid of magnets, not dropping them
