Do cases with magnetic holds affect and functionality of the phone?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Personally, since the s-pen uses a magnetic field to utilize the cool floating feature, I wouldn't want to mess with it using a case with a magnetic closer. I could be wrong though.

I have a the iMagnet car mount and the magnet in the mount affects the stylus. It doesn't respond where the magnet is but works elsewhere on the screen. You should be ok if the magnet is weak and on the side, not behind the device.
Damn, i guess i'll stick with something else. Thanks for the info guys.

No issues with magnets and the EMR technology in my experience. I'd be more worried about the effects on my memory.

That's another thing to think about. It's such a sweet case but I'd rather be safe than sorry. The last thing I need is my phone konking out on me randomly for any reason that's not my own doing.

Actually magnets compromise S Pen functionality, I have two flip covers with magnets and S Pen doesn't work on the display portion just above the magnet.
Tapatalked.
They're also extremely likely to cause problems with the device's compass. Magnet's and compasses really don't mix well.
What about the tetrax xway
With the four magnet config its meant to make it safe

Bought this for 11 bucks including shipping.
Fits nice and snug. Not the highest end thing but it works. Ports line up well.

I got the Moco case, which looks a lot like that one. I like it, nice, auto wakes, and was under 10 bucks.

Does it have a magnetic clasp to keep the flap closed?
Some that I've looked at just hang there.

May feel nice, but it looks horrible. I don't want my N7 to become a Toshiba Thrive.

Very constructive. Thank you for your opinion. Don't buy the case. I posted to show a budget case that works with the lock wake function.
For everyone else, it's not too thick and the magnet holds it closed and locks the screen. There's a flap that holds the N7 in the slot by wrapping around the left side and folding under the tablet.

I had this idea recently and was just wondering if anyone has come across something like this or if it would be possible to make one.
Basically I love the sleep/wake magnet thing but I like the idea of a pouch or sleeve more than a folio case, I just want something to protect my tablet when I take it out of the house. If a magnet could somehow be build into the fabric where the sensor is, I think it would be great for things like checking on notifications without fully removing it from the pouch.
So, anyone find this interesting or have any suggestions?

Can we not use the magnetic tape thing on the correct location inside of a sleeve? Just curious.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, I'm wondering what the best sleeve is to try it with, as it would need to be quite snug to make sure there was contact.

I ordered a sleeve, I made a thread for it. I'll try it out and make a review and let you know.

Hi,
Were you able to add a magnet to the sleeve? which sleeve did you buy?
Thank you
I wouldn't recommend using magnetic tape to make your own sleep/wake, it can be really touch and go. Use a really small N42 magnet (can get on Amazon or at the store). Depending on the sleeve, you could make a tiny cut and re-sew the area from the inside.
Available from tesco stores for £5 (with a voucher doubled up)
Its the circular one similar to the one on mobilefun. It does fit, but best get them to show you first
Is there a link?
Go in store. Its not on their website
Can you post a pic please?

I bought it yesterday - it is wide enough to hold the note 2 but it's at the limit of the holder's maximum width. Not sure I'll keep it as it's maybe a tad too flimsy. I would be a bit afraid that the plastic arm might break and then note would fall.
Thanks for the tip though, joey.

I feel the same way. I just don't trust windshield mounts.
I got an iOttie for mine and have it suctioned in a cubby behind my shifter in my Honda Civic. This mkes it so the holder piece leans on the edge of the opening, giving it support.
It does take the weight (doesnt fall off when driving on the bumpy cornish roads/lanes)
It fits perfectly with about a cm to spare
It might look flimsy but its actually quite tough
If you want something better spend more than a fiver

This is a tenner in my local tesco - how did you get it for a fiver? Coupons?
I didn't mean to be overly critical of it by the way - it looks solid enough. I think I will have my phone mostly in portrait though, so i'd like something at the bottom to stop it slipping down.

No probs, all in good jest.
It was double up tesco vouchers so only cost me a fiver
I've been using the Mountek MT5000-D and it's great.
Works great with both my note 1 and my note 2.
I was using the tetrax x-way before but it just couldn't handle the weight of the note.
it would just keep falling off.

How easy/hard are the buttons to press? I have a $5 generic black smoke argyle ebay case on mine. Fits perfectly, buttons are easy to press, perfect grip, no lint collection, and has protected my phone from a handful of non-critical drops. So so far, so good.
I was thinking of trying the D3O case, but I was just worried about stiff button syndrome.
I work in construction as owner. Spend most of my time in unheated workshop and @ 30° I have no stiff buttons. It is molded soft buttons and works flawless. Notice it also has a backplate that is clear plastic that can be scratched but no big deal. Camera lenses is cut out. So much better in grip and also fits leather cases snuggly so it doesn't fall out as easy.

Is that backplate piece optional, or does it not fit flush if you leave it out?

It fits with or without. It comes with the piece. I use it as you can see with the scratches on it.

I plan to gel coat carbon fiber cloth using the clear plastic back piece when I get some without flaws. Stronger and definitely better looking in end but at mercy of local hobby shops and their supply.

TPU is between hard plastic and silicone. It's perfect actually, it's not a hard case, nor is it soft and sticky the way silicone is.

i got one of the mesh cases from ebay china location. was perfect. snaps on. has a rubbery feel and doesnt interfere with the usb or headphone plugs. not the greatest for protection drops.. but allows me to hold the phone in my hand better..

I just use a rubber back on mine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ECAMY2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great, feels great. Doesn't slip out of my hands and adds a little thickness. I also figure it doesn't attract to much attention which is good.
I have dropped my phone on cement once or twice as sometimes I get sloppy and it works great on protecting it. LOL!

On T-Mobile.com they have one to.
We all know it's defective, I removed, I put my own, but now the case is a little too flexible? Anybody have a fix for this? And when revision 2 ever comes out, will we get a chance to exchange ours?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Where the protector was actually glued to the plastic top housing piece, use a thin strip of foam tape (preferably 3m) all the way around about a 1/10th of an inch from the edge. The foam will sit between the top piece of the case and your phone.
Basically you are replacing the thickness of the glue + screen protector that helped keep the case nice and tight. It also helps to keep dust out of the case.
Even if the foam tape is 1/4 of a inch thick, it has a lot of give when pressed.
Thanks for help, appreciate it!

What is the cutting down the button nonsense? Mine works fine.
The screen protector works no differently than they did before or than that on the lifeproof...not getting all of the complaints. ..if one chooses to remove it so be it.. not really validation for the complaint imo

some users report the button sticking and to fix it you can cut down the material, probably isnt a problem with everyone.
My power button was fine. I just didn't like the gap between the screen protector. Felt weird. I had the phantom case for the s3 and it didn't have that. But we all can't get what we want.

I wouldn't remove the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender, although the pressure sensitivity of the S-pen is highly questionable.
