I have the kindle cover that magnetically wakes/sleeps the device as I open/close it. I like the feature but it interferes with the Skype app and force closes it when I receive a call. I've been using it without closing the cover and haven't had any problems with force closes. So I want to know if anyone knows how I can prevent the magnet from waking/sleeping my device when using the cover (like a normal case). I like the case so I don't want to replace it. Is there a way to remove it from the case or have something placed in between to prevent the signal?

Ok I found it. There are actually three magnets. One magnet on two corners and one in the middle. The middle one is the on/off switch. Took it out and works like a charm. The other two just hold the cover on. Now I just need to cover the hole I made to remove the magnet.

So, after recently replacing my phone, I received one with a really noisy battery door. I mean the sliding mechanism to take off the back plate. I've tried to cope with it, but it makes my vibrate unusable due to a huge increase in noise. Also, barely squeezing the slider part makes it creak annoyingly.
Does anybody else have this issue? If so, do you know of any remedies? I'm starting to get really annoyed with this, as it makes my phone feel cheap and I can't stand not having vibrate on during classes.

What you can do is put some tape or glue a thin plastic on the inside of the cover to create pressure that should prevent it from moving. It will be on the inside thats way it doesnt look cheap and it will fix both problems. Let me know if it works

Gah! Can't believe I didn't think to try this. I put a couple of pieces of card stock under the door and its gone. Thanks!

as it turned out that the plastic cover is the one who is the main factor for holding the left screen that we are all having issues.
check out what i found. at the pics locate the one that has hole. you need to push that away using your fingernail. then line and latch the cover. snap-in first the left side and you should be able to hear a click sound. then you can all the way close the cover. your screen now should be flat with the silver frame.
good luck!
Can anyone else confirm this? Sounds very interesting but I don't want to risk damaging anything as my local store have said they will replace mine when they get stock back. Would save me some hassle if this solves it.
I think I see. Any chance of a better picture?

Tried it myself but not solved it for me
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.
Do cases with magnetic holds affect and functionality of the phone?

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
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?

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.
