Magnets do not damage electronics in general.
Magnetic storage can have problems with magnetic filed but for example, a hard drive has a very strong magnet in it that is stronger than any that is on a tablet case. But it is irrelevant as an iPad use flash memory.
Floppy disk and CRT screen can have problems with agents but that is not common technology in the last decade to too.
There is two possible part of a tablet that a magnet can have an effect on. One is if it has a magnetic compass and the result is that it do not detect north correctly or if there is a hall sensor or something similar that is used to detect magnets.
There are some tables that use them to detect to detect if you close the of the case over the, So you have a magnet on the lid that will be over the sensor when you put it over the screen. That is also how most laptops detect if you close the screen, a magnet in the screen and a sensor in the bottom part-
So there is nothing in an iPad or any other tables that a magnet of the damage. At worst you get an incorrect compass reading. A very strong magnet could of course have an effect but we task about the magnet that a human has a problem removing from a metal surface, nothing like that is in an Ipad case.
