my case seems to move slighgly in my bag and so the battery drains, is there a way to disable this functionality?
cut the magnet out of the case is the only solution i know. i had to do it for my windows tablets b/c the 500t had some sleep/resume issues.

I've been looking for a TPU case with a flip cover. Similar to the new Apple Smart Cover.

Are there any out there?

The note does not have a magnetic sensor to detect the magnets in a cover and switch state based on that, so it isn't going to work.

You could use an app like Prox Pro. It uses the proximity sensor to preform different tasks, one of which is turning of the screen. I'm pretty sure it would work with any type of case where the screen is covered.
When I ordered the tablet i also got an Ivso cover.
I have an issue when I flip the cover fully open: when the magnetic part touches the top back side of tablet the screen will switch off. It looks like the tablet thinks that the cover has been closed.
This thing is quite annoying and I couldn't find any way to disable this.
Is there any way that I could change how the tablet reacts when the cover is closed? Disabling the behavior(lock it when the book cover closes) could work for me but i couldn't find a way to do it.
Any thoughts?

The cover you purchased is not genuine Samsung. I had ordered one on EBAY and it did the same thing. When I purchased the cover from BestBuy, I no longer have the issue because the cover opens opposite to the one I purchased from EBAY.

thanks, I am going to buy one and check
Is there an option to disable cover detection at all? I want to lock my tablet manually. I cannot find such option in settings...

I have bought this flip cover from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H1X8FHY
It is very nice but unfortunately it does not have the magnet placed in the cover for wake/sleep functions. I was thinking of modifying the case so that it does have this feature. I thought about sourcing some strong magnetic strips to put into the credit card slot on the inside of the cover. This was when it comes into contact with the screen it will sleep and when its lifted away it will wake.
Do you think this will work? Could it cause any issues with the phone?
This has bad idea written all over it.
So if you lose your phone, you lose your wallet too
Install Gravity Screen - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree and have it set to wake/sleep the phone via the proximity sensor. Does not require root, tiny bit of extra battery drain. Works perfectly with non smart flip covers. I also have the Ringke.
havant bought one myself yet but the Orzly Wallet Case which has the wake function is only £4.99 on ebay or £6.99 on amazon and has some good reviews.
personally i would rather pay a fiver than mess around sticking magnets in other cases.
Most flip cover caes have a magnet or magnetic strip which allows for phone automatically having the screen off when closed, and automatically screen on when open.
Problem is, let's say you want to do something, but have the flip cover closed. It doesn't work, i.e. you can't record with the flip closed, or just listen to something off youtube with the flip closed. If the flip cover didn't have any magnets or magnetic strip, you'd be able to do this (I did this without a hitch on my Note II with the OEM Note II flip cover case).
Anyone know of any flip cover cases for the Nexus 5 that do NOT have any magnets?
Thanks!
I've used 3-4 flip cases while I was lookout for a case but never did the N5's display turn off when I had it flipped
Isn't there a way to disable the magnetic sensor on the phone itself?

I think there is a Xposed module for disabling magnet,don't remember the name though.

Hey, i bought an aftermarket flip cover from ebay. The opening circle, doesn't have a glass but i am fine with it, since i have a glass protector on.
The issue is, when i flip it all the way so i can hold it, the magnet sensor activates and puts the phone to whatever it is, when the cover is closed.
Any issues with the official flip cases?
And i hope someone creates a stock rom for this, because the battery even on standby, sucks.
Cheers!
I bought a knock-off case from a local store that states it's for the ZE551ML - Goospery WOW Series Flip Case cover.
No issues for me when flipping the case all the way back, but the magnet inside the flip is definitely misaligned. The smartview/Asus Cover only works if I hold the flip-cover down and to the left. Does yours work correctly when closed? I can't speak to the functionality of the official case or other knockoffs, but I'm curious. There are so many on eBay that are cheaper than what I paid locally, but I'm wondering if they also have magnet issues.
Been using the Asus case for a couple of days I never had an issue

I bought the same case now with new update misalinged magnet is creating automatic wakeup. Adding extra magnet helps bt wont it cause any harm
I also had random wake ups and that affected my battery.
And yes all the functions worked correctly.
I want to know the effect of extra magnet .?? Do they harm the device?
Can you please tell me where your magnets are located? I asked a question in the QA forum about my aftermarket case not triggering the screen.

It is in left side near the back button
Thanks. That's where my magnet is. I will try a stronger one.
