Default official Samsung flip case

after looking for ages and ordering a Zeus carbon black flip which was so slippery in hand that wull br returning it, I went into my nearest O2 and found they had the official samsung leather flip case for only £14.99. Quality feel and has clever magnetic closer at the top which avoids those annoying flip type m agnet catches. It is thicker than the zeus but adds little in weight. If a flip case is your preference then I would say the official one at that price is bargain.

One thing I've wondered with these flip cases - does the magnetic part of the case interfere with the electronic compass or have they shielded it in some way?

Am debating about getting one...

It's not magnetic. There's just a hook that grips to the top of the phone.

It is magnetic. The hook you're talking about holds the phone in the case and has a small metal plate on the front which the magnet in the flip down front cover attaches to.

And it makes no difference to the compass.
