Definitely not a concern of mine because I don't use my S-Pen much. But I bought a DBrand Tank case for my 26U today. While playing with the phone and S-Pen, I noticed the interaction between the S-Pen and display was hesitant and very inconsistent. The display would not register what the S-Pen was doing.

I thought something was defective. But what I found the issue to be was the magnets inside the case. They interfer with the S-Pen. I removed the case and the S-Pen worked great.

Just wanted give everyone a heads up.
 
I didn't notice a problem with the mag case on using the s pen. I had a problem when it was connected to a stand, the center of the screen where the magnet was my s pen didn't work.

Same. Only interference is when an extra accessory is attached. That's why my daily has a 360 O ring.

Probably depends on how strong the magnets are. Lots of criticism on Samsung but including them but they probably knew. They will have to make a decision as magsafe accessories are the way to go and s pen use is a niche thing.

I think they will update the digitalizer to combat this , but if I had a choice in this for sure the spen I don't care about magnets on the back of the device, get a case if need one as phones are usually in one .

Usually a case itself doesn't cause interference with S-Pen, at least with cases I had. It when the accessory devices or a charger are attached, it when the issue shows up.
