Hi,
So far I've been through two keyboard cases for my Galaxy Note. The last one I just got today was great until I tried using the S-pen while the case was on. There are certain regions where there a magnet in the case causes the S-pen to become unpredictable. I'm kind of surprised as this case was designed specifically for the Note 10.1, but it's as if it was never tested.
I have searched online and can't seem to find a bluetooth keyboard book/folio type case for the Note that is magnet free. Can anyone provide any useful product suggestions for me?
As an update, I was able to narrow down the problem to two specific offending magnets in the case. Interestingly enough in those areas the material was thin enough that I could scratch away at it with a scissor and pluck out the two small circular disc magnets. Later on I suppose I could cover up the "surgery" spots with some velcro, but the location is not too conspicuous and now the spen is working appropriately. Problem solved!
So I just ordered a third party keyboard case for my N9, it's a sleek on that says it's designed for 8.9-10 inch tablets.
Thing is, I don't think it had magnets to hold the tablet in place. Personally, I like the idea of the extra stability magnets provide in this case.
So, I got this crazy idea that after it arrives and I try it out, I go out and get some tiny magnets and super glue them to the case, thus achieving the same effect as the official Keyboard Folio.
TWO QUESTION:
1) Would this work? As in, do any old magnets have this effect, or does it take special magnets?
2) Would this in any way damage my device? I don't want to put too powerful of a magnet next to it and scramble the system or something.
Thanks.
1) I think any magnets would work as long as they're neodymium magnets.
2) If they're small I don't see them having any negative effects, other then possibly scratching the surface where they might rub when you put on the case
sorry for my bad English.
Is it possible to close the case that the screen does not turn off (official case)?
a greeting
Try to put something between the connecting pin in your case and your phone.
A small piece of paper or try to block the connection with tape.

Yes as he said it is just a magnet inside. If you can remove it or prevent the magnet from being sensed you'll be good to go. I haven't tried it before but you can try looking up "Demagnetizing a magnet" and follow the steps.
Edit: from another thread. A few people said this did the trick
"Anyway, I'm an engineer, so my basic solution is to disperse the magnetic field a little bit, so I've stuck a small flat bit of metal to the case at the point it lines up with the magnet in the lid when the cover is open - see attached photo for placement. I guess anything similarly thin would work, but it probably should be something magnetic to have an effect (ie. rather than aluminium foil). The case clips on around it as normal, the metal is hidden, and so far I've not had the phone turn itself off when the cover is fully open."
The other thread seems be more about non-flip cases.
Has anybody succeeded in finding a flip case that uses the hall sensor. I am talking about cases that typically have a small round magnet somewhere that activate the hall sensor. This turns on and turns off the display automatically (on flip open/close).
I bought one off amazon: https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B074M9RHZV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The case is OK. But, it does not trigger the hall sensor.
I tried taking a small magnet near the phone, around the bezel. No reaction from the phone. How is the hall sensor on this phone supposed to work ? Asus phones dont need any special activation for this. Samsung needed their special cover that has a chip (galaxy S5). Is something else needed to turn on the hall sensor ?
I emailed HMD global support and got the following link: https://www.nokia.com/en_in/phones/nokia-slim-flip-cover?selectedDevice=
A flip case is listed here for Nokia 5. Has anyone tried it/has any experience with this ?
Thanks.
Answering my own question. I could not find out an accessory that supports the hall sensor. But, did manage to find out where the hall sensor is!
The hall sensor is somewhere near the middle of the screen. On your lock screen, it is around the place that displaces the day of the week (Monday, etc). Strange place to have a hall sensor. But it works! Just try taking a magnet near this spot.
I guess, now I have to find a flat sticky magnet to stick on my flip cover
So, did you found some nice magnet? I have original Nokia slim flip case which doesnt have the magnet, i tried what you said and it works with normal magnet, but it it is too thick. It doesnt work with fridger stickers.
I also have slim neomdyum magnet, but i am affraid to try it.

I think the neomdymium magnet should be OK. I know that my previous asus's filp cover had a small (1/2 to 3/4 cm dia) neomdymium magnet. I would be more worried about the magnet hitting the screen when you close (not the power of the magnet itself). I also checked that a simple stick-on magnetic strip does _not_ work.
I made it work nicely! found a great thin magnet in notebook HDD, which o broke in half (about .2cm long and wide now) and then inserted it with ducktape in top of card pocket. Working flawlessly!
Edit: Just compass seems messed when magnet is near.
Ah, I was expecting it to be near the edge somewhere. I'll give this a go as I have a cheap flip case on mine. Does the magnet need to be quite strong? I have some sticky sheet magnets, so I'll maybe try one of them and see what happens.
Magnetic Tape - rather those which can be used to hang metallic tools on a wall than audiotape!! - works also perfectly: no worries about scratching the screen. Can easily be cut to proper size and maybe inserted seamlessly into any flip cover. Search for "magnetic tape roll"
Hey Guys
I've had an SM-P580 for a few months now and have had trouble finding a keyboard case that doesn't have any magnets. I've done a little research and it looks like cases that just have magnets to hold the keyboard don't seem to affect the Wacom digitizer. I would also accept a case that doesn't have a keyboard as long as it has room to put one in. I want one that has a wide bottom part so I can hold it in my lap, I go to college and sometimes its impossible to find a desk or table. This is the style I'm looking for:
https://www.amazon.com/Vivefox-Deta...eywords=bluetooth+keyboard+samsung+tab+a+10.1
But as you can see this one has the auto sleep/wake function which means MAGNETS
If you guys could help me out in finding one without magnets or one where the magnets don't affect the Wacom digitizer that would be greatly appreciated.
Worst case scenario I'm just going to get one with magnets and rip them out.
