There are 4 or so magnets in this case so I'm wondering what effect will they have on the galaxy note 8.0 if any?

Magnets are located at the bottom of the keyboard and those attach to four magnets at bottom of the case. You can remove the keyboard from the case for easy typing. Those 4 magnets do not affect in any way the use of your tablet.

I just read in a review for a similar product, that the magnets are a problem for the Galaxy Note, because they will eventually begin to interfere with the stylus, which also uses magnets. The person had read other articles about this problem, and had personal experience with a Galaxy Note where the stylus quit working, whenever it was used on a part of the screen near the magnets. Sounds like prolonged contact with these magnetic covers could do permanent damage to a tablet with stylus. Too bad because I really like these. Glad I decided to wait before buying one.

Dont have these anymore... had to throw them out. It contains magnets on the tab and they are not to be used on note type of screens as it will damage it and make the writing capabilities inop.

I've read something about that in the net but the consensus seems that the magnet does not pose a significant risk and so far no problem. But just in case, I don't keep the note in the pouch 24/7.

I had to return mine because over time the magnets caused dead spots on my screen. There are 4 magnets holding the keyboard. If you remove the keyboard and fold the cover back, there will be dead spots on the four corners where the back cover is folded over. There is another magnet that holds the stand in place. When the tablet is flat, there is a dead spot in the middle of the screen where that magnet is placed :( Very sad because I REALLY loved this case but I do a lot of touch sensitive work so it had to go.

I have not had any issues w the magnets affecting the screen. I've had my Supernight for a month & a half.

I have not experienced an problems with the magnetic catch or case. In fact, If I am not mistaken, thet magnetic part of the catch is located on the bottom of the case - beneath and away from the keyboard. Thus, I could not see how the magnet would impact the screen area. WIth that said, the catch does require attention to properly secure the case. Othewwise, I have not experienced any problems thus far.

I don't think so, it didn't demagnetize mine, but I didn't use it very long. That would be a good one for a google search. It's a small magnet, that might happen with much larger magnets. I know there is concern from some people that a magnet messes with your phone signal or your phone itself, but it's not strong enough to do that. At least with a s4.

There are 3 magnets on the case. One on the front, one on the back, and one on the flap that keeps it closed

I don't think it has magnets...it just kinda stays via friction. Not very well either. I was not pleased as it was very poorly designed compared to an iPad smartcover.

I don't have a Note 8 and have no experience using these devices together. So, I can't answer your question one way or the other as the answer would be speculation on my part.

I honestly had no problems with the magnet so far. I dont think it does anything to the screen.

Could not say for sure as I stopped using it as the magnets caused issue with my screen. I would be concerned what the magnets might do to the cards. If they replaced the magnets with Velcro this could have been a very nice case.

No... and don't EVER purchase ANY cover for ANY electronic device that has a magnet closure. Devices with computer chips and memory cards, such as smart phones, notes, pads, etc., can have their components and memory damaged by magnets.

No magnets in the case at all. But the tablet is very secure in the case. Doesn't move around at all.

The magnet is on the mount, not the phone. There is only the non magnetized metal plate in the case, so it shouldn't be an issue.

The Samsung case does NOT have any magnets. It stays shut by a elastic strap on the inside of the cover that stretches over the case to keep it shut. You use the same strap when you flip the cover under the tablet. I like it better than a magnet, I am always a little concerned that a magnet may cause a problem at some point.
