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.

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

I had a problem with the magnet. The screen was impossible to write on using the S pen. The magnet area definitely creates a dead spot on the screen.

No it's not magnetic, it kind of clips but after a while the clip breaks, but it's a great but, I had it for like 6 months, and protects the screen very well!

After reviewing Apples' support forum, there seems to be little consensus about the potentiality of magnets damaging devices (I'd speculate any device, Apple or other). Small magnets on cases seem to be safe, but warnings are given for "strong" magnets. I loved the idea of this holder, but I'd have to error on the side of precaution and not purchase unless I read an affirmative answer. Everyone else who says "it hasn't damaged my device yet" could be lucky or just biding their time. I have read the the likely damage is data loss, but not permanent component damage. I can't afford either. At best, it seems unknown or uncertain.

No it does not interfere with the S Pen. I have had this case for about 6 months now and I never experienced any problems with my S Pen.

the TIP is always the issue, the pen itself is just the base. If you look closely the base it is just a flat disk but this depends on flat contact. It you use a protector sheet ant it is scratched, dirty or just allot of build up it will case issues. I have even noticed a lot of oil from my skin can cause issues.The other issue could be your system and the app. You could test this though by using some other tip or your finger. If hat works then again it could be the screen capacitance is just giving out.

My husband used the clip, I didn't. He never had any problems with it. I never noticed any problems typing due to the bulkiness just the tiny screen. The case does not obstruct the screen in any way, it surrounds it. There is a 'lens' cover that is heavy duty and I was surprised how responsive it is. I never even noticed that there was an extra layer between the actual touch screen and me.

I owned the Logitech keyboard for a short time but during that period I forgot about the magnets! I did place the keyboard next to my laptop and rested a credit card on top of the keyboard and there was no apparent damage, but it doesn't mean that it couldn't happen with extended exposure. I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly just to be sure. Good luck!

No. I had this case for my last phone as well, and have not had any problems with de-magnetizing. I would mention that pulling them in and out can cause wear on cards so I position accordingly

Yes a magnet is used to close the case. It can stand up in two positions that works well for taking notes in meetings. The case folds over the screen and stays closed due to the magnet. It is a good case for the price.

Yes it does but after repetitive use the cutout starts to bend out making the case very unattractive. I don't use the S pen much but from other reviews apparently the magnet in the case may cause issues with using the S pen.

I haven't had that issue at all. It actually helps keep my phone cool and the magnet is facing the screen so it doesn't cause any problems mechanically. Best case I've brought.

Yes it has a magnet but since I read that the magnet can interfere with the S-pen, I put velcro over the magnet. It closes as good as it did using the magnet. I hope this helped you.

i dunno about the magnets but im sure that when i close the flap/cover of this case, my Note 8 automatically turns off its screen... when i open the flap/cover, sometimes it automatically turns my Note 8's screen on, sometimes it won't (it depends on how the screen was turned off)...

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've had absolutely no problem using the S-pen with this protector, but I really don't like the protector. It's harder to keep clean than others I've used.
