Oh wow, some of these threads just amaze me and I don't mind having a good laugh every now and then. I have no idea how some users lose and s pen and complain about it. I'm a heavy power user and I want to put emphasis on the term heavy. I can't even put an average estimate of how many times I remove and reinsert the s pen on a daily basis to be honest. That's how much I literally use it. I understand that the clicker can become unseated if it comes in contact with something. But that has rarely ever happened to me. Especially since whatever would cause it be pressed must come in direct contact with some applied pressure to compress the clicker. I just think it is nothing more than sheer carelessness. Whether its being careless of how you handle your device or whatever. Also note that the notification for the detached s pen alert only works when the screen is turned off. So maybe you even lost the s pen by setting it down, forgetting to put it back in the device and then leaving the area using your phone. Don't take offense to my response because that is merely my opinion. You can acquire replacement s pens for like 10 to 15 dollars BTW.
Mark is correct. If you have the proper settings checked (which should be by default) it is very hard to lose the S-Pen. However the feature only works if your screen is turned off. My screen is set to deactivate and lock after 30 secs of inactivity.
Either way, I just conducted a quick test out of boredom to see how reliable that S-Pen detached security is and 10/10 times when I moved the phone away from the S-Pen while the screen was off, I got the warning notification. I even conducted 5/5 tests where I had the screen on, removed the pen, (as if the pen fell out while I was using the phone) walked away from the pen, turned the screen off and within a few seconds the warning popped back up on the screen even though I didn't wake the phone.
I have had my Note Edge a year and a couple of months with a UAG case on it since day one. The case won't allow anything but a cylindrical object to get in that cutaway to access the pen. Even still, you then have to PULL on the grooves on the pen to get it out. I say that to say that from what I understand, the redesigned pen that you guys have is much different from the Note 4/Edge and requires you to push in to get it to pop out? Even if it does manage to "fall" out, the warning notification is there for a reason. I can't fathom losing just one pen let alone multiple??
