Hi
I have been using magnetic closing case (prair) and wondering how bad it is for display and using pen.
Thanks

I've been using PDair cases with magnetic closures on a succession of smartphones since WM days. Never encountered problems.
Could be a different story if you also keep your VISA or AE cards inside.

Correct. Wacom styluses use a form of magnetic resonance. Having a strong magnet near the touchscreen is going to mess with it.
I suppose if it's a weak magnet, on the back - that might not be a problem.

Thank you so much I found a lot of useful info today!

Magnetic Closures
Does the magnet have any permanent effect on the screen or stylus! I plan on carrying mine on a horizontal belt pouch, but remove it during use. This doesn't seem likely to have any bad effect, but would like to hear from someone who knows for sure.
I have been using PDair cases for Galaxy note for two weeks and never noticed any problem so far. accuracy of S-pen is same whether I put Note in case or not. Also it does not affect accuracy of GPS fortunately. I guess it may depend on strength of a magnet.
But I am still wondering if it would affect screen or something else.
Thanks.
I found this in Galaxy Note manual
' Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow
your device to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of
time. ' Page 180
Even though my PDair case does not do anything, I decide not to use it anymore.
I will look for another case which does not have magnet
I got a pdair too, with magnetic closure, the back side if the magnet is pretty weak so probably won't do any phone damage, was wandering if maybe i could remove the metal magnet clasp and stitch in a small square of Velcro over it and some on the tongue end too but I'm not sure if taking out the metal bits will rip the leather to much?

Didn't notice that in the manual. Glad that the temporary case I ordered with magnetic closures was only $5. Will try to remove the magnets, if possible, and stitch on some velcro.

This is the correct answer.
Even though it may not seem like it's affecting the Note. The magnets in the case will eventually cause problems for the built in gyroscope, compass as well as the Wacom technology based S-Pen.
I have personally tested and seen this for myself.
Hi from me. Do we know from our own experience that a simple magnetic clip can cause problems? I am asking because I used such cases in the past (some of them were official) with many phones without any problems and some of them also had a pen.
Well, I would like to order an E6 EASECASE myself with magnetic closure:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E6-EASECA...Accessories&hash=item564714a197#ht_7004wt_905
However, as you can see this case is much more thick than the A1 etc (meaning distance from phone to magnet is larger.
And magnetic forces diminish by R^2 - perhaps it is enough for not affecting it?
If its still not enough, what about this idea:
Could we replace them with the Tetrax X-Way magnets? they are designed not to cause magnetic fields, and should not affect the phone in any way.
Speaking of which - I want to order a Tetrax x-Way holder for the car soon (which means one magnet would be glued to the back of the phone) - Do we really know these magnets do not create any magnetic fields?
Hi again. Do we know anyone who faced an actual problem with a magnetic case or is this just a generic safety instruction? With almost all leather cases having magnets I suppose we should have been hearing more about smartphones facing this problem.

Problem is that its an accumulative effect, to magnetize the gyroscope, pen etc you need prolonged exposure to constant magnetic fields (more than 1 month probably).
Question is what kind of magnetic fields still exists in the cases I wrote in the earlier post (E6 wallet, Tetrax X-Way special magnets with supposedly no fields).
I dont believe that these magnets are strong enough to cause any problems. Otherwise we will be facing problems also with the credit cards etc. I have send an email to Pdair asking about the magnets isue and they replied that they never got any complaints about it. Do we have any link to an actual incident? I am asking because J want to order a case and all that I like use magnets.
I tested magnet meter in Galaxy note and magnet in PDair case slightly affect magnet meter. So the magnet in case eventually makes magnet meter in note confused and as a result it would indicate wrong direction or current location.
Try to download compass app through market and test it !
I can confirm that the pdair small magnetic closure does affect the compass, i just noticed when i flipped the top over to the back that the compass direction on maps changed to a wrong direction.
I've now removed the magnetic clasp form the case and will stitch in a small velcro dot to both ends (will still look classy )
So yes, i thought maybe it wouldnt do much as the magnetic force on the back is pretty weak, but if you flip it over (like every time your using the phone you usually flip the main cover all the way to the back) the main force of the magnet seems to affect the phone quite a bit.
Why do these 'high quality' phone case manufacturers keep making magnetic locks for compassed/gps cellphones!! I really like that new Zenus carbon case and would get it if it didnt have a magnet!
I was reading the Samsung Galaxy S1 & S2 manual and the same warning about magnetic cases is mentioned so it doesnt seem to be Note specific so I am thinking to totaly ignore it and buy my case of choice.
Im looking for a flip case where you can detach the 'flip' part of the case. At the moment im using the Samsung Flip case (instead of a screen protector) within a cheap TPU case that has a kickstand. Im finding the camera tricky to use with the flip part of the case getting in the way, so it would be good if i could take it off when needed, then reattach it. :good:
I've done a DIY mod on the flip case - cut off the 'flip' part and stuck it to the TPU with velcro - as you could imagine its far from perfect...
I've been searching for a while but nothing so far.....
Well here's something the case makers seriously have to do.
Imagine something as convenient as the Microsoft tablet detachable keyboard?! But a detachable flip.
I would buy one without thinking twice.

Looks like a practical solution.
However it has a magnetic clasp. If I understood correctly, this is bad for the Note, because it interacts with the digitiser ?

U didn't indicate u want one without a magnetic clasp. :silly:
I have a normal wallet style flip case and it has a magnet, doesn't interfere my GNote's digitizer or wacom sensor.

Is there any flip cover that only the front one like apple ipad one? So could use any hardcase...
Thanks for the input.
The Mercury colour case looks good, i'll bear it in mind. There a couple of youtube vids knocking about so i'll do some more research.
As usual, you need a woolly coat to get the things you want...
Detachable front cover case for the iPhone A larger case for the Note would work well.
----
There must be a demand for such a case? I can't be the only one who prefers not to use screen protectors, but finds a flip case gets in the way of using the phone, especially the camera!?
The search continues....
Edit; Found another one;
Luxury window flip case- not sure where the 'luxury' element of the case comes in as to be fair, it looks cheap and nasty!
maybe you can try modding one using valcro

I have one of these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIO-BLACK..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2570d08d2f
You can remove the phone relatively easy when you need to use the camera, is a bit fiddly to get to the stylus (but I have large fingers)
the magnetic clasp locks around the rear of the case/phone so does not affect the digitizer.
Hope this helps
I was also looking for a detachable flip casing .....the normal flip casing is uncomfortable feels weird when capturing pictures & recording videos
I bought a blue flip case says official from amazon, it was fine for the first month, but after that, I just took it off, its so uncomfortable to use. any suggestions for some others
I've got one of these - Amazon Link and it's just the job.
Easy to detach and the corners have save my note a couple of times now.
hey u guys ever try buying from http://list.qoo10.sg/item/Q100/406210991?sellerview=on?
pretty cheap...i bought a so call Korean brand flip case..for sgd$9? will be waiting for it..
here is a detachable flipcase on ebay here is the link for a youtube video i know it is for iphone but still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CVG4czXcIs
here is the link for the case for the note it is a tpu case with detachable flip http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...919296?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4d03b8b880
it has a magnet but it doesn't damage the screen it is a very nice case
I really like the official flip case, apart from..
1. No magnetic close on the flap
2. Gives little protection from drops
To address my second concern I am thinking of using the official vent/mesh case in conjunction with the official flip case.
Has anyone tried this combination yet? If so does it work/look ok?
Alternatively can anyone recommend an alternative book flip case. Ideally I would like a magnetic close, genuine leather, some drop protection & stylish looks. I know I'm asking a lot but I don't want to settle for anything less.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to all feedback.
Oliver
(EDIT) had a reply saying the official case combination don't work together. Alternative suggestions very welcome now. I forgot to say I have a white s3 and I'm looking for a matching white case that opens like a book (like the official one but with more protection).
Sent from my phone using a forum app
i too am interested in using mesh case with official flip cover.
hope someone could try it.
(i recommend you zenus case or sgp cases or hoco cases as an alternative cover).

Nope, doesn't fit. Flip case is too thick and mesh won't clip on.

MrThaibox23 has put a youtube video clip reviewing the Official HTC One Genuine Hard Shell Case with Cover and he certainly does not recommend it. Unhappy with fit and poor quality and bad value for money.
Still waiting for my HTC One and am reluctant to cover the beauty of the design so the questions are:
Cover it with a case Yes / No
Recommend or warn us off any case you bought.
Many thanks and over to you.
I actually like the case and im using it right now
I got the case free from Vodafone with the HTC One and I think it's pretty good, for a free case that is.

I also got the case free from Vodafone and couldn't believe that the hole for the mic does not line meaning nobody can hear me when I'm using the case, has nobody else experienced this???
It fits the phone perfectly and states for the HTC One on the box (ruling out them sending me the wrong case) and I've definitely fit the case correctly (ruling out stupidity).

Do you Talk about the flip case or hardshell?
I had this microphone Problem with the flip case and solved it by making the hole for the microphone on the case bigger.
Not just me then, yes I refer to the flip case. Not the sort of quality you expect from a 'premium' official case. If I wasn't amazingly impressed with the phone I'd be letting rip at HTC!
Its a shame the screen wouldn't come on as you flip the case over though!
The flip case is okay, poor quality though.
I also got the official flip case for free with my phone. I was really disappointed with it. OK I got it for free but seriously HTC... Couldn't they make a decent official case for their incredibly beautiful save the company flagship phone. They should have used proper leather and included some magnets to keep it closed and wake the screen when opened like Samsung do with their case.

Yup had this problem as well. I was so confused when people told me they couldn't hear me.
Whilst a terrible case it's better than what I got free with the last 3 phones.
But if I had paid cash for it I would not be terribly pleased.

i have the double dip hard shell case on fine and find the fit is quite loose on the phone, the other thing that really bugs me is that the volume buttons dont work correctly. i have found that there is very little tactile feedback and that you then tend to press the buttons harder which then causes the area of the case around the buttons to miss shape..very poor which is a shame as i actually really like the overall look etc of it.
Anyone else found this or could i just have a bad case?
I think I'll get hard shell case.

This is a fantastic phone so get any reasonable case for now until better 3rd party cases become available. I prefer the hard case over the HTC flip case.

i liked the hard case when i first saw it, but now i just think its cheap and nasty looking.
have a look at nillkin case. im using it now and posted pics in the "cases and covers" thread near the end
The flip case is great, the only down side is that the microphone hole in the case doesn't line up 100% of the time and when making calls sometimes I have to take the phone out of the case for the person to hear me

My mate called me on his the other day, I kept telling him I couldnt hear him.
It turned out to be the HTC official flip case hole, as per other posts on here!
Luckily mine was free, but he paid £24 for it!! It's going back....
Personally if you look the hole on the outside is ok, but it tapers inwards and is like the tip of a needle inside, you could easily make it larger with a paperclip or jewellers screwdriver.
Although for £24, you shouldnt have to.

I'm using the black flip case from OnePlus.
I think it's a really nice case. The material is nice and smooth to the touch, it feels very premium in my opinion. It's quite thin, so it doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone. The cover closes completely, and also folds back completely. All four sides are exposed, but I don't really see it as a drawback at all. I'm perfectly happy with this case.
Are there any flip cases besides the original one, with automatic screen on/off?
