Hi,
I'm wondering about how magnetic components in accessories could potentially interfere with the magnetic sensor in the tablet. In some protective cases or jackets, magnets are used to hold the parts together, etc.
What is your experience with these accessories? Do they make a noticeable effect on the Map/Navigation apps?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys,
Anyone know anywhere that sells leather holsters (the kinds that clip to your belt) that don't use magnetic flaps? I'm kinda paranoid about magnets and damaging the phone.
There is nothing inside the phone that would be damaged by a magnet unless the magnet is thousands of times stronger than the ones used in the pouches. There is no reason to be paranoid about it.
I thought that magnets could screw up the compass on the phone.
I've been using a magnetic-clasp leather holster since I got the phone in November with no issues.
Are you missing on the Krusell Luna case for Nexus 7 the smartcover function as I do ?
What is smartcover ?
It's kind of magnetic switch, which will automatically turn on the display, when you open the case, and switch it off, when you close it. IT'S VERY PRACTICAL :cyclops:
What do you need
- Vodafone magnetic pen or similar (https://www.google.com/search?q=vodafone+magnet+pen&hl=cs&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X)
OR
- magnet size 1,5mm height x 10mm diameter)
- case Krusell Luna for Nexus 7 (http://www.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=237680) or similar
- thin double-sided tape (or glue, if you don't care about the lifetime warranty of Krusell)
How to do it
- remove the magnet from Vodafone magnetic pen
- test it and place magnet to the location : 100mm from left, 49,3mm (50mm) from bottom (eg. use normal tape to stick magnet temporary)
- when tested, use double-sided tape (thin) to stick the magnet to the location "permanently" (still later on you can remove it, depends on the tape)
- press THANK YOU, if it worked :good:
What to avoid
Don't select too big/high magnet (>2mm) - it may scratch the display then.
Don't use too thin magnet - or it will not work (eg. magnetic tape)
What you will get
Case with smart cover function
You will not damage design of the case
Still working all the functions of the case as before (stands, magnet is not "touching" the display) etc.
Hey, do you like your Krusell case? I've never used mine, because it leaves no bezel, which makes it hard to drag in from the sides. It's also very tight, and I read about screens breaking because the case was too tight, and I really don't wanna risk that. Though I'm only planning to use it as a travel case, and as a dock for watching movies and using keyboard and mouse.
I just got my Galaxy Note II and I did not like the Samsung OEM Flip Case it came with. I feel like it only protects the screen if the phone ever drops, and if it happens to hit any of the four corners in a drop, the phone would be done for. I've been looking into wallet cases, but most of them are magnetic and seem to interfere with the S-Pen. Does anyone know of a good flip case that snaps onto the device itself, similar to this one?

Magnetic catch on flip cases
I recently bought a Zenus case which I like a lot. The only thing I am not keen on is the press stud on the front so that whenever you close it you are pressing a bit on the glass. The Zenus case I got a long time ago for my original Galaxy Tab has a magnetic closure and this is really good. However, I am confused about whether magnetic catches badly affect the S-pen usage. Some reviews mark down cases because a magnetic closure interferes with the S-pen. Is this true of all cases with magnetic closures? Are there any flip cases with magnetic closures that do not affect S-pen use?

i just ordered one of those. it has a full tpu case on the phone plus a multipurpose leather flap attached to it that allows it to act as either a vertical or horizontal stand. it also fixes the thing i hate the most about flip covers - camera use. with most flip covers, the flap just feels flimsy, dangles everywhere and gets annoying. with this one, you can fold the flap back, and fold down a portion of the leather to stop it from obstructing the camera. quite useful.
the black and brown flap versions have a dark brown-ish semitransparent tpu case. the other colours all have a transparent tpu case.
it also has a magnetic lock on it as well.
Wouldn't have thought this is a huge ask but there seem to be absolutely no magnetic flip cases for the OP3... All I can find is stand cases with a magnetic clasp like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Ca..._11?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WY3145XGNFC60NVTV27F
What I want is a detachable magnetic flip case like this for the OP3 http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-Magnetic-Flip-Wallet/201341_32678694110.html
Do you know of any? Or am I just gonna have to bite my tongue and resign myself to buying a horrific case? :crying:
I don't think it's as magnetic as that but orzly do a flip case
Did you have any luck in finding such a wallet case? Am also looking....
Closest magnetic case I found...

Magnetic closing
Good build quality
on/off sensor
cheap
Lots of color.
The best case I have never had by far !
I recomand ++
Has anyone purchased one of these and what brand/model is the best? Anyone have to modify their case or make it fit, or have to cut the magnetic ring to allow it to fit around the protruding square lens on the back of the phone (and if so, does that weaken the magnetic force holding the extra lens in place)?
