Anyone used this magnetic case for a while?Has you noticed any damage in the screen or while using S-Pen?

I've used it for a while with no problems... and I was replacing a different case that DID create problems... mostly screen lock-ups. The magnet does turn the device on when you open it, and off when you close it, but so far no adverse effects of any kind... and the handle strap is really useful.

Hi Chad......the magnet works perfect. I haven't had any problems with the case opening up at all. Good luck :)

I used an iSmooth protector for a year on a Note 2, and never noticed "permanent" tracking on the screen protector itself, only in the oils left by fingerprints/etc. Cleaning the screen as normal restored it to completely new appearance. After a year of use, there was one scratch near the edge but I don't believe that was from the S-Pen.

Nope:) the cover part has a nice thick (but not bulky) either plastic or cardboard, plus with cards and or cash it can't really do any damage. It's not a mega strong magnet. I haven't seen any signs of damage to my phone and this was also a concern of mine. I still highly recommend this case.

Yes, I recommend getting a case that has a holder for the pen, as that's how I lost the first one one the magnetic part... Fell off walking to the house, ordered a new one found the old one a week later. -typical-

Sorry for the delay in response. I have no concerns about magnetic interference - I haven't seen any issues with the screen, and my phone seems to be just fine after quite a lot of use in my car with the Tetrax. I hope that's useful to you.

The magnet problem is for the Note 2 and Note 3. These have a Wacom SPen digitizer, which is supposedly susceptible to magnets. The S4 doesn't have a digitizer, and doesn't support the SPen, so you should be ok with this case.

Hello Magnet will affect S pen and touch screen on Galaxy phone. We use magnet wherever possible. But, on galaxy phone and tablet, magnet is not an option. Thanks

never tried it, never got the shield to take properly, I was dealing with the smudges which were too. The S-Pen should work but the shield has some thickness to it, so not a 100% sure.

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.

It has a magnet, you should be fine. Never had an issue. It's a perfect case for the tablet (as long as you don't have young kids using it!).

I would contact Amazon about this. Your case is a little different because it sounds like an update on your device has made it unrecognizable, if not the pen has stopped working. If it is the pen, it's going to depend on how long you have had it. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

it is the magnetic. I had a similar case for 6 months, but a plastic piece broke when I dropped it from my lap. never had a problem with that one. I think this magnet was just too strong.

Yes and no. I've got the black color case. The texture of the left side of the S-curve doesn't "stick" while the right side tends to stick a bit more but it isn't as bad as some of the older rubber cases. However, it is noticeable compared to just the raw hardware (i.e. no case at all).

Yes, I didn't have an issue. It's a great case! Just make sure and buy a screen protector.

I am using the stylus on a Kindle Fire HD and a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, neither of which have a screen protector. While I have only been using it for less than a week or so, I have seen no evidence of damage on either device so far.

I have not had this problem, but all electronic devices are subject to damage no matter what the cover is made of.I find my Fintie Folio Case works well.
