I just received the Moko case and it has a magnet that turns our device on and off. But I've heard talks of the magnets ruining the digitizers.
I don't understand how this can happen if the Samsung covers have magnets in addition to our tablets having a setting to interact with magnets. Perhaps it depends on what the magnet is rated at?
Could anyone share or educate me on any risk I have using the Moko case that has a magnet?

Uh... I just ordered a Moko case with that feature and now I'm beginning to worry... Hopefully someone will post saying, "No, it won't affect the digitizer at all because (insert reliable information)."
they say it can, but won't if properly shielded. I don't know who "they" are but they lurk around these here internets. I haven't had any problems yet on my note 8 with a poetic case.
Interfering... could be. Ruining seems unlikely to mee. See the discussion in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288809

I just got this case too. There's only supposed to be 1 magnet, right? Also, is there some way to position the stand to hold the tablet in more than 1 position? Thanks.

There's 2 magnets and you can use it in 2 position but one of them puts the tablet upside down

Place the tablet upside-down? Ahh! I see now. You just blew my mind! So there's not supposed to be a magnet on the upper left corner? I feel a indentation there, and it would probably help hold the cover closed, but nothings there. Thanks for the help. As simple as flipping the tablet over is, I might not have realized it for days.

I don't have a magnet there either
I was afraid of this problem as well and I also just received the Moko case. The first thing I did once I got the case was remove the magnets using an exacto knife. There are 5 in total. There are 4 rectangular magnets where the case flap and the case touch (2 on the edge of the case flap and 2 on the edge of the case itself). I presume they are there for keeping the case closed. Then in the center of the case flap there is a round magnet which I assume is used for the actual wake/sleep feature.
I understand removing the magnets was a little extreme but I only plan to use this case until there is an otterbox defender case made available for it.

I'll probably wind up doing this too. I'm waiting for the Zenus case.
Aren't you guys acting a bit paranoid when even cutting the magnets out of the case. I yet have to find the fist discussion thread or post in which someone confirms permanent damage. And I did quite some extensive googling on the subject. So just post the sites/threads or stop scaring each other.

Did you not read the 4th post of people showing the note 8.0 with dead spots where they can't write?
I had the note 8.0 though and from my memory since it didn't have options and settings to utilize a magnetic cover I think that is the reason why some note 8.0 are getting messed up.
I don't know what will happen but that's why I have a free 2 year warranty so I don't really care.

Interesting read.
Wacom says no permanent damage is caused by magnets, but it could very well be that parts of your device can be magnetized and with that the problem would be (at least) somewhat permanent.

I'm actually not that worried, not enough to cut out the magnets in my moko. I have an extra year warranty with my CC provider and by the end of that warranty, I'm sure I'll be getting the 2016 edition.

If I read that post in the referenced thread right - those "dead spots" were not a demonstration of permanent damage. The poster mentions placing the screen next to the magnets in the folio to achieve that effect.

Could you post pictures of where those magnets are located? I'm going to cut mine out as well. Zenus will start shipping at the end of November so I'd rather play it safe and just get rid of the magnets.
Update. I got out the magnets. The circular magnet was partially covered by the card flap for anyone else interested.

I'm using this case on my Note 10.1, in fact I've used IVSO cases on my previous tabs also.
My OG Tab 7 was knocked off tables, couches, etc onto laminate floor/tiled flooring a few times, the only time it came out of the case was when it was knocked out of my hands as I was actually using it. Luckily, landed on a carpeted floor.
In these IVSO case's it is pretty safe from knocks or drops.
Better off getting a case that has a fastener on it or a clip than a magnet one, after viewing the online manual for the 10.1 it clearly says stay away from magnets.
I never use mine while in the case, not only does it attract dust it also has poorer reception with the s pen.
Going to get a better one when find a case without a magnet

Looking for some help. I've looked in many many places but haven't found a cover like the magnetic cover iPad users have. Is there such a cover for the Note 10.1? Looking for the thinnest cover I can find.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The thinnest cover will still be thicker than the iPad because we don't have the magnetic hinge that would allow only the front cover..
The Samsung cover is remarkably thin, but doesn't stay closed.
There are several trifold covers that have a back that then clips onto the corners of the table with a cut out for the pen., several ship from Hong Kong. Some on eBay, some on Amazon.com the stock is constantly changing.
I ended up getting one that is advertised ads unless thin by mistake. It uses an adhesive to stick to the back of the pad. I really DON'T like that. It also makes removing the pen difficult. Plus it doesn't have a slot to charge the tab without opening the cover. I had to cut one.
It has a fold over flap so that it doesn't open accidentally, but the cover is very floppy. I've only been using it a few weeks, but it just doesn't feel that solid.
In the end I'll probably go with a knockoff Samsung if I can find one that stays closed.

Agree with the above...the thinnest and sexiest is probably the Samsung magnetic book cover. I wasn't fond of it at first, but I've been using it over my i-Blason lately (which is also very nice but is no where near as thin). Lack of magnet to hold cover closed is really not an issue for me. If I am holding it it stays shut.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Guess I'll go for the Samsung cover .. hope it stays closed.
If you're going to buy a magnetic cover you should get the samsung one. Most other ones will probably cause problems with your wacom digitizer if the magnets get too close while you're using it.
I bought the Samsung white cover for £31 on Amazon, it just finishes the look of my tablet, love it. Jim
Samsung white cover with magnets works for me, I think that it can't have a magnetic closer option because it would interfere with the Wacom digitizer.

I have also ordered one online. The "vip" model. I am expecting it to arrive tomorrow together with the GNote 10.1. I will post pictures with the Note with the case on and off so you can evalutate if this one is ok for you or not
My Note should arrive tomorrow and i'll pretty soon get a cover for it. I really dislike Samsungs build quality, i could scratch the whole back of it in one day i guess .. Like many did with the S3. My Motorola razr i doesn't even show a scratch even if it has been dropped by my girlfriend once and i don't handle it too careful.
I think i'll go with the Samsung Diary cover. I don't want my tablet to be bulky just because the manufacturer can't use proper materials and i'm too afraid of scratching it. But the fact that it won't stay closed is a major drawback, seems like i won't get the allround case i need. I think i'll have a look if i can get the Anymode I-Band case in Germany, at least this one looks good in my opinion.

As in update: I received a very cheap trifold magnetic cover that I ordered off of eBay similar to this. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=200899933118&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=87359384600
So far it is working fine. It has magnets to keep closed and my pen works fine for drawing.
It has volume, power and charging ports and buttons exposed and you can easily remove your pen. The only thing I wanted exposed was the headphone jack, but a simple hole punch fixed that. Certainly cheap enough.
Now for the warning. The stick on cases are much worse than I expected. They are stuck on pretty much permanently, so switching cases for different activities was not possible. I do that to have a keyboard sometimes. Now the really bad part, the adhesive is strong enough that you can separate the back from the tablet if you are not careful.
I did just that. Nothing breaks, the back of the tablet it's very flexible, but it is a real bear to get back together. Let's just say I know more about the inside off the tab than I would want to this stage in the warranty.

Your average, everyday magnet is not going to cause trouble. As mentioned plenty of cases use them.
Where you will have issues is the larger, more powerful magnets. I work with some really powerful ones that will most assuredly cause you issues.

Magnets DO affect touchscreens. I had a magnetic closure case on my Note N7000 and found a dead spot on the screen that wouldn't register the S Pen. I cut the magnet out but the problem remained.
I bought a Note 3 recently and bought a magnetic closure case as they we're the only ones with the wallet/stand style that I like. The magnet was only near the screen for a few seconds whilst I got my knife to cut it out. I thought that it would be fine. It isn't! I have another touch screen S Pen dead spot.
I don't know if it will have any effect on phones without an S Pen, I just thought I'd pass on the warning.
I just recently bought the poetic slimline case and as much as I love it, the magnetic field created by the magnets in the case is 500ut which the Android Sensor Box app is showing anything over 150ut is bad . Will this cause long term effects on the hardware with that strong of a field? I have no idea about any of this other than strong magnets are bad on any electronics. I just want to know if anyone who has used this case for a while if they have noticed any problems with their device? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Edit: I did a little digging and i found some good stuff. First off a field of 500uT or 0.0005T is about the strength of an ordinary fridge magnet. Tech these days need to be within about 1.25T or 1350000uT (the strength of a magnet inside of an HDD) for any damage to occur. So I guess we can rest assured that the only things these magnets will do is confuse the sensor. Im sure no magnets in any case are that strong so I wouldn't worry about it anymore. Thanks everyone for the help!
I guess no one has had any issues then? Thanks for everything

The magnet shouldn't cause any problems.
Jfriend, the problem you ate experiencing is a problem with the touchscreen itself. There's a thread on it somewhere around here.
I'm using one of those Poetic cases with no issues.
The Google Play Store is also selling their Folio cases for the Nexus 7
with the Wake / Sleep feature.
They probably wouldn't be selling it if they thought the magnets would be a problem.

I would agree with you but with the 2013 nexus they moved it to the lower left side of the device. Its on the opposite side of the battery. The magnet inside the device doesn't even get picked up by the sensor so its placed in a spot where it wont do any harm. The issue I'm talking about are the 2 magnets that hold the case shut. I dont see any on the official folio. They are strong magnets and they work well for their purpose. Im just curious what kind of effects this has on the device long term. I guess ill find out eventually if its harmful lol.
I've also been using a pouch with a strong magnetic closure on my cellphones for the past few years. Never had any problems.

I've been experiencing exactly the same thing. I also have a case with magnetic parts on it, it's a blue-tooth keyboard case and there are 4 small magnets that hold the keyboard in place and 1 on the back that hold the stand in place.
When I have the tablet flat or on the stand I quite often have problems with touchscreen response, however if i pick the tablet up and hold it vertically it's fine. I am as yet undecided if it is the case or the tablet itself. I have heard of screen issues with the N7. but primarily the issues seem to be multitouch and ghost touch related.
I did have a case for my Galaxy Note that has a strong magnetic clasp and that did effect the screen, once I dumped the case for a non magnetic one it was fine.
It stands to reason that magnetic fields will effect electronic devices given their operation and the fact that any electrical current creates a magnetic field and two opposing fields... well we've all done the reverse poles trick with magnets haven't we.
Just got a Nexus 7 and a Poetic Slimline case for Christmas.
I don't know about long term issues, but I do know it does affect the functionality of some apps. SkEye is nearly unusable with the case on.
Are there any risks attached to using covers with magnets in them?
Just bought a cheap knock of of the origami case , and noticed two small but powerful magnets. Haven't noticed anything yet ( had it a few days) pen accuracy is still great.
On the other hand I'd rather not find out in a few days that I have managed to do permanent damage to the note's digitizer or something to that effect?
Heard stories regarding other cases with magnets and potential long term risks.
Anyone?

Even the official Samsung case has strong magnets. I've been reading the forums since December and nobody has reported long term damage as a result of a cheap case. If yours has an issue, you'll notice it fairly soon (screen refusing to sleep, auto brightness issues, areas of the screen that are difficult to write on etc.) First thing to try when something goes wonky is remove the case and see if it makes a difference. If you don't notice anything amiss, pat yourself on the back for finding a cheap case that works just as well as an expensive one.

Tablets are designed to work with magnet covers.

Knock off Original Book cover.
I have this knock off of the original book cover ($5!), The thing is it has eight magnets! Four on the lid and Four on the bacck so it can become a stand.
It is harmful or not? Shall I use it? It does have good quality.
