Anyone else notice that a magnetic case messes with the s-pen? Writing on the calendar it has random spots that simply won't write on.

I seen a YouTube video that said that's why they don't do the magnet inside the phone like the fruit company. Magnets interfere with the s-pen design.

I never had this issue with the previous phones though. I don't use the magentic case for anything but seems everyone you buy has em haha

I recently started using magnet technology lol, but I don't use the pen much either. Just like the option to have it, but I like the upgraded features on an Ultra phone.

I use the pen pretty often so I'll have to change the case.

Depends on the magnetic case and position and strength of the magnets. I've used a rokform case for years and s-pen usually works fine with the case if I don't use the center magnet

Haven't gotten my S26U yet, but I've used plenty of magnetic cases with previous Ultra phones. Never had an issue with the S Pen. Stick to well known brands and you should be ok.

It's when you use an accessory on the case! I have to take my mag rings off when I use the pen.
