Is anybody seeing any effect of the magnet on the tablet? e.g Compass app not working, line distortions when writing/drawing near the magnet, etc?

I've had this tablet/case since May and haven't seen any effects from the magnet.

I think the problem is with the s-pen on the note 3 Personally I never had a problem with the magnet my phone works great and I had the case for over a month case is very nice (not leather) but nice material and the magnet it's awesome I had other cases for my note 2 and I always had a problem with the lip it was uncomfortable to use and to keep close this one just folds and stays It will be a good buy..

Sorry, I dont use an S pen, so I dont know the answer. It hasnt interfered with anything for me though. The magnet is not situated anywhere near the screen. It snaps to the back of the cover when it's open and to the front of the cover only when it's closed. The price is cheap enough that it's no great gamble.

I have been using a magnetic cover since I purchased the tablet at Christmas with no problems. I purchased cover on Amazon - just a cheap one but it is totally functional (all the holes in the right places). I love my tablet - I use mainly for Kindle app and email. I have been playing a few games, too. I get about 10 hours out of a charge. Totally love my ASUS!

Since I attached the magnet the compass still works OK but the directional arrow on google maps rotates randomly, makes it very difficult to know which way your traveling. After I removed the magnet the phone still acts the same way. I can't be sure if the magnet was the cause but its pretty broken now and it may be as its quite an old iPhone 4S or that the magnet permanently damaged it, hope this helps.

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

I experienced the same issue from time. It sometimes worked when I use the brutal force to connect the keyboard and the tablet. After a while the tablet was damaged by that. The screen has a vertical black area above the connection port. My suggestion is not to use the keyboard at all. Just return it.

sorry, I answered the question thinking it was in regards to the new one I bought. This one is CRAP and snap broke in a month, right after I could have gotten a full refund. sent back anyway and got 60 percent back after restocking fee. Get the one with the magnet also found on Amazon for 15$

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

Unless your electronic equipment has a spinning hard drive there wouldn't be much that could be damaged by the magnet in the support mechanism. Personally, I have never experienced any damage or impairment with my iPad or Samsung tablets.

HelloMagnet will affect S pen and touch screen on Galaxy phone. We use magnet wherever possible. But, on galaxy phone and tablet, magnet is not an option. Thanks

That is a great question, and it is something I hadn't thought to check. So, after comparing the directional sensor reading both in and out of the case. and then checking the reading on my nexus 7, I can say that no, the wake/sleep magnet does not effect the GPS. Also since GPS uses RF to get data, not magnetic fields, it is very unlikely that any sort of magnet would effect the GPS operation of your phone.

Has what been fixed? I have an occasional problem where the display driver crashes without warning. About 2/3rds of the time it recovers by itself otherwise I have to reboot the machine. When I say occasional, mostly I go months without interruptions and the I have it happen several times in a row and then it stops. This is the only error I know of. This tablet is a very good eReader for me, I cannot speak for others. I virtually never have troubles with the touch Windows key when I use the tablet without the keyboard. The keyboard conceals the touch Windows key so you never have any problems when the keyboard is attached.

Not sure if the magnet is causing my issues, but i'm pretty certain it is. I have used this product for a couple months now. Recently the screen on my iphone 6 becomes unresponsive. I've gone through all the Apple troubleshooting which did not solve the problem. I did notice that when i removed my case and the magnet - the screen works as normal. I will be looking to get a refund.

Absolutely, some people will say that the elastic corner strap presses too hard against the power button and turns the Tablet off. Never has for me in the six months I've owned it. One person here talks about magnets causing some buttons not to work, but so far with mine every button works. fine. I use this combination Tablet and cover/keyboard to show clients our website and products. This makes for a very professional approach.

Well if I did, and in fact I did....I no longer am worried about it. The magnetic part of the setup is attached to the air vent on the dash. There aren't any magnets attached to the phone when it is not attached to the air vent. The magnet is on the Tetrax device. There is a steel button attached approximately centered on the back of the phone and it is not magnetized. I have it attached to the dashboard for about 2.5 hours per day and over the last couple of months have not had any data problems with the phone whatsoever. Holds a Note 2 like it was nailed on the dash.
