Been waiting a while to get this and it has finally arrived and the review is done.
Very interesting case

It does look interesting. You mentioned a link in your review, but I didn't see one. Where did you get it? I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Do you think the magnetism will be a problem? I always wonder about that.
Thanks for all the case reviews! This one does look interesting..
Not bad, a TPU case with front protection, stand, and very thin. I am always worried about dropping it face first with a TPU case and this one solves that problem. But does the magnet interfere with GPS, S Pen?
yeah...nice looking case...but can't find it anywhere online for buying it....
I've been looking at this case for a while and found it for sale here:

Nice case. It would be even better if it came with an integral back cover like the Samsung flip case so it would be even thinner.
I did some Googling and found some more pictures:

Lol...but one of the reason I like thus flip case is because it's the only one I can find now that also protects the back and the sides.

After a closer look I have noticed that the Momax case is actually different from the Benks case.

I am now wondering if the stand of the Benks case can also be used in portrait mode as the Momax case.
all of the magnets are going to affect the s pens use as well as possibly damage your memory card
I recently got the brown Momax case, and after experimenting with it, there does NOT appear to be any effect on the S-Pen from the magnets in the case. This is after tinkering under a variety of circumstances. Overall I'd say I'm very happy with this case because it does not add bulk to my already large Note 2, and it uses a clever design to enable the device to stand on its own. I would definitely recommend it.

Hey,
can you easily flip the cover all the way back? In the case of typing, chatting, writing is it a problem having the cover hanging around when one-handed? does the cover wiggle too much?
Love this case and I have checked the youtube reviews (Olis4, Himesh123456789, Milkerz5) but they don't show the cover flipping all the way to the back... :/
Thanks in advance...
That's pretty clever - too bad the TPU case color doesn't come in black.

I am considering buying this case, but I'm not sure about the magnets.
Do they interfere with the compass or the S-Pen when the flap is wide open or fully folded backwards (not in a stand position)?
Also, how is one-hand operation with this case on?
It's annoying funny how all the reviews omit such important aspects and only tell us about the design...

Sorry for the delay, I did not receive an email that someone replied here until just now. Anyways, yes, the cover flips all the way back to essentially become flat. I didn't have an issue with the cover hanging during one-handed operation. It didn't really wiggle too much either since the phone is secured on the back part of the case pretty nicely. It was my daily driver over Samsung's case for the phone. :good:
As to the magnets, I did not experience any interference although I have to admit that my use of the S-Pen was light. Tinkering and testing when I first got the case showed that there was no magnetic interference though. To expand on my level of one-handed operation - I have smaller hands and did not have an issue with the case. I would typically read Kindle on there and hold it in my left hand, my fingers would come around to the right side of the screen, and I was able to turn pages no problem. I never typed one-handed though, and I always type in portrait mode.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply, it's very helpful.
How about the compass? Do you notice any significant deviation when the case is on w/ the flap in various positions vs when the case is off? For example, I would expect that the deviation (if any) is smaller when the flap is opened at 180 degrees, since the magnets are farther away from the phone, than in a fully folded position.
I'm finding myself using the navigation increasingly often, so it's important to have accurate sensor readings.
Again, thanks a bunch!
I would think that navigation software using gps signal only.

I think that the compass is used in pedestrian navigation (which I use), when you turn around in a spot. How else would it know the heading?
I too am interested in a definitive answer in how much the magnet effects spen and the compass.
I've also been looking at the zenus cases which don't use a magnet, but I'm unsure whether it can hold the phone up like a kickstand and it's a lot of money to gamble on if it doesn't.
I am interested in buying the Smart Dock for the Note 2, but I cannot go without a case as I have already had to replace the phone once. I am currently using the Seidio Active case and was wondering if it would still fit in the dock? I have heard that Samsung has left some wiggle room for cases in reviews, but will it be enough to accommodate the kickstand as well?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared
Bump?

My guess from seeing other docks/chargers you need a slimmer case, like Surface or any TPU cases. Active might be too tight, but I don't know for sure.
I just received my smart dock 2 days ago and I also use the Active case, it does not fit properly. You have to press down the phone to fully sit in the USB prong and it connects fine but as soon as you go, the spring loaded usb prong and the rubber on the case pulls it back out. When I want to dock, I just partially remove the bottom part of the case or remove it completely.
All I have is an s-view case and that would just look silly with the VR so my phone is naked at the moment :S
Are there any protective cases out there that do not have to be taken off when using the Gear VR? or do all cases work fine?
I am mostly curious because I have been wanting to buy the zerolemon extended battery, but that would bulk up my phone if I recall correctly. Is there anyone using a VR with this?
Edit:
Eh, probably can't use it with a case on lol just ignore this~ or delete if possible :S
i need a case like that protects also the edge of the screen because most of the cases being sold only protects half of it also that is vr gear compatible without removing any have idea or it does not exist
Any luck finding one? Someone on here mentioned shaving off the rubber bumpers and maybe it works with (certain?) cases? Unsure.. I was hoping the beetle pro full case would be workable somehow.
I can't see much success. It's far too tight in the VR for a case too.

Your not going to find a case that fits the brace. Maybe skins or screen protector
I had a slickwrap on mine and it works, but if you want to use a case you would need to cut it to actually fit.
This one fits... just used if for about an hour with my Gear VR
(relatively tight)

Hello all,
There doesn't seem to be a lot of choice in terms of cases for the Tab S6. All the cases on Amazon have a cut out for the stylus which makes it stick out and they don't cover the sides of the tablet either.
I like the Samsung case but it's too expensive and more importantly for me, does not cover the sides.
Please post your recommendations here...
Thanks in advance

I've yet to find a third party case that has a cover system for the pen too
I've gone with the official book cover with a 10.5inch sleeve to put both in when it's in my bag etc. All of the ones on eBay, amazon, aliexpress etc all have a cut out for the pen which you will 100% lose the pen at some point. Following this thread incase someone has found one.
Until I decide on a case with a pen holder—doesn't have to accomodate the pen slot, and I don't have the keyboard—I've just Dremeled the camera lens slot of my S5e case to make it bigger. So, I might just get an S5e case with a pen holder and do the same.
@TiTiB do you know if the S5e cases fit the S6? I would be looking to do the same if it does.

Fits perfectly.
I like the official keyboard case
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
I preordered the poetic rubberize shell last night, I also like the samsung keyboard case for travel
There are a couple of options on Amazon that cover the pen.. though in a different way.
The main cover comes all the way around and then flips over a couple of inches onto the back to cover the pen cut-out.
They are a keyboard cover but the keyboard can be taken out as it is connected via magnets.

I got the Poetic Rubber case yesterday. It's a much better case than it was for the s4. It fits tight, perfectly edge to edge of the screen and I love the extra retainer for the pen. This case works great in DEX mode or if you are not using the hidden nav options. You can easily hold the tab by the edge of the case in both portrait and landscape. The only issue with the case is that it makes edge swiping a little difficult. It does add a little weight, but holding in one hand is not an issue.
Moko Folio Case, Logitech K480 Keyboard
I also have been wavering about what case and finally decided to by an inexpensive Moko Folio for about $10 while things sort themselves out. It is a typical folio feature-wise with the exception that the S-pen slot on the back has an elastic cover up about half the pen and makes it much more secure while letting it rest in the magnetic slot for charging.
For a keyboard (lots of people seem to be reporting lots of problems with the Samsung keyboard) I am using a Logitech K480 which I already own and use with other tablets. It has three-position switch with retains bluetooth parameters for three-different devices, keys with decent feel and a slot to put the tab in to hold it up. It also comes with a semi-hard case which has a padded slot in the front cover for the tablet (even with the folio cover).
It's still soon so I will keep watching...
Case with S pen holder
I found this on Amazon, It features the same type of S pen holder as the official Samsung case, I have just ordered one myself.

huh? the s5e case does not fit the s6 very well at all.
when I used the Samsung s5e book cover on the Tab S6, the rear cameras did not fit within the S5e case hence the s5e case was not attached securely with the magnetic attachment.
if you cut out a larger hole in the s5e case for the s6 cameras, then it might be better.

The S Pen is based on electromagnetic resonance. I assume the company wasn't cognizant of how a separate magnetic field could present a problem, which is unfortunate. This case's styling is perfect, so hopefully the design will be altered.

Whats the best case without magnetic pins?

I got this case too ($13.99) and I like it. I even put one of my silicone nose pads (small size) on the case's S-Pen flap so that I could more easily pull it open.

I have tried a few cases and this is the best one I could find (and previously recommended on here) and it was a reasonable price. It’s nice and light and has a place to store the pen to stop it getting lost. The cover also activates the wake sleep when opening and closing.

I keep my tablet in a pouch when not in use along with a good little Bluetooth keyboard which I have used on previous tablets which is also really well made and has a built in trackpad and comes with its own sleeve, again this is reasonably priced.

I also have a Microsoft Arc mouse which I was given and as that folds flat it also fits nicely inside the sleeve I have

I have used this setup with Dex and the keyboard / mouse combination works great
