Cases, cases and more cases!!

Is anyone using any clear Magsafe cases, and has tested the SPen with a Magsafe accessory on it?

I did my standard test, but without being attached to another MagSafe accessory. No interference just with the case (Ringke Fusion magnetic)

Yeah, I'm trying to find consistent reviews with an accessory attached to see how useful it will be. Namely either a popsocket or battery pack. I can't think of another use case where I'd use the SPen and have something attached to it.

I'm rocking the Samsung Leather Case right now but can't wait for this one to show up.

If you ever have a chance to test with any accessory attached, I'd appreciate any follow-up. This Ringke fusion Magnetic is one I am interested in. I have the regular Ringke Fusion currently

I don't have a MagSafe pop-socket or power bank, but what I can do is that next time I'm in my car (in about 1-2 hours), I will mount it and do the same scribbling test while it charges.

It's importan to get a case that protects every single lens in an individual hole each camera lens or the big hole around all the camera lenses???

Honestly, I don't think it matters much.

However, I did invest in this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPSKKWDD?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU7138728

So, small cost and you can protect it regardless of which case design you choose.

I'm afraid I have bad news. As you can see, there are big gaps when the phone is actively charging. I changed the colour to blue and did a second take in the gaps to test if it was truly a "dead" zone and it looks like it was for the most part.

Thanks for the testing. I was kinda on the fence with this MagSafe stuff, I think I will pass.

Yes, thank you so much for testing! This is what I was afraid of. These other reviewers aren't properly testing for this. Looks like I'll have to pass on magsafe until samsung can make the proper adjustments for it.

Luckily, I don't ever see myself in the scenario where I'm using a MagSafe accessory and the S-pen at the same time, so I will continue to enjoy the one thing that I got it for: straightforward wireless charging for myself and my iPhone-using wife

Yeah, the 2 reasons I'd want the MagSafe is so that I could have at least either a PopSocket for the grip or a battery pack in case I'll be away from a charger for an extended time. I also don't like the permanent placement of the OG PopSockets, or the bulk of kickstands.

I suspect that any wireless charger would probably intterfere with the S-Pen. Wireless charging uses induction and the S-Pen uses induction.

As any engineer will tell you H+H=

I think I'm finally going to order a case tonight or tomorrow though and plan to get a PopSocket too, so I will report back with my findings.

OMG! LOW STOCK!!! BUYING NOW!!! >.<

Seriously? wow...

LOL, I thought the same thing. Only 20? There were more that were in the $200-900 range that looked very similar.

Exactly. I also think it would be awkward using the phone and spen with the battery pack on the phone. This is a non issue for me

Absolutely. I said I think it would be weird. Might be fine for others, but in the discussion we are having the spen will have issues if you do.

So I'm glad I have no interest in using the spen with the battery or wallet attached. Bonus for me

I stuck a magnet to back of phone and spen was non responsive when over the magnet. I think any of the magsafe stuff will cause interference of the spen.

I'm fine with that as I more then likely won't be using the spen when I have the battery or wallet attached. I'm going to pass on the ring since that I can see myself using the spen with.
