Seidio Releases Cases for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 [New Color Options Available]

[coolesnce]

I just tested mt S-Pen with the surface case and didnt see or notice any interference around the stand area.

I have the active case on order do I need to try to stop it from coming ?

Damn I have just ordered this case from this store here! How can they launch a product without checking that it works properly! Words fail me! I know that mine has been shipped so is on it's way to the UK what a total waste of money I certainly won't be buying another of their products.

Maybe it was an isolated incident you guys should wait and see if it works if not try and return for a refund

Well...I'm disappointed. Just got my Surface case today. Nice case and great grip. I noticed though that there's s pen interference at the bottom of screen where the kickstand is located on the back. When I'm using s note or the handwriting pad, writing is very choppy/inconsistent in that area. When I remove the case, or even use another case that I have, there's no problem there.

Well that kind of suck and didn't Sedio said it doesn't interfere with the s-pen???

I apologize for the issues you all are having with the S Pen. We did thorough testing with both the ACTIVE and SURFACE case on the Note 2 to make sure the magnet did not interfere with the S Pen. In our testing, we did not notice any issues with this. However, I will forward this information on to product development to have them do some further testing.

My husband uses the Seidio Surface combo (purchased from AC w/a great discount!) and has had no interference whatsoever with his S-pen use.

@Seidioseidio I bought the Active case and am patiently waiting for my Note 2! But I mainly wanted to say thanks for addressing concerns on this forum regarding your products. Not a lot of companies would do that.

And I can just imagine the sh%*load of cellphone forums you guys must monitor on a daily basis!!!

Okay , got my note 2 today and put the active case on. As noted from an earlier poster when using the s pen there is interference.

Right where the magnet is the phone won't pick up the pen but if I open the stand and leave it out there is no interference.

Not a deal breaker for me but weird it wasn't picked up in all Seidio's testing.

Well will seidio do any thing about this problem ? I wish that I could fine a leather vertical belt holster for the Sch R950 note 2.

Oh that's too bad!

Well I decided to order the Active case instead of the Surface. I'm hoping that the S-Pen interference doesn't happen with my case, otherwise I'll return it and get an Otterbox Commuter. Hopefully neither case makes the phone TOO bulky. I want some protection from drops but I don't want something ridiculously bulky like the Otterbox Defender series.

 

[Markster1]

I should mention the rubber of the case is positively charged and attracts dust which irks me. Does anyone know how to solve this, washing doesn't fix it.

Ya the phone is too big for a bulky case.

I just tested mine as well and had no problems having the pen register in the magnetic area. Maybe some defective cases are afloat

 

[johnmcd348]

I wonder if the Pen issue might actually be the pen itself. I was reading in a few other threads over the past few weeks of people who had been having issues with what appears to be a defective pen itself. Some seemed to be more and some less sensitive than others.

Go into note and slowly draw a line up and down around where that magnet is located.

When I first tried this I had no issues but after attempting it again there is definitely some interference going on but it seems to act sporadically. Sometimes I can write my name with no issues and other times the pen will skipped..

Why in the world did Seidio put a magnet on the case that is a No N0.

How about prising the magnet off and replacing it with a bit of bluetack! Not ideal of course but what do you do I have this case on it's way to me now if I had known about the problem I wouldn't have ordered it and I live in the UK and it's shipping from the USA so sending it back isn't really worth it so I will be stuck with it and trying to sell it on somewhere!
