The S pen uses some form of inductive magnetic charging to power it and track it....

Good to see the effects of the magnets .

Thank you. Hope it helps.

Yeah perhaps so

Why would you ever put any magnets near any electronics?

Who the hell uses the S Pen while it's mounted in a car...?

Haha we never know. Maybe they want to doodle when they are driving? [emoji14]

Already knew this from using a magnetic mount with my Note 5. Inconvenient, but it's the most efficient mounting method for a phone in a car.

Great to hear that you know about this

would this cause any long term damage?

No long term damage just minor inconvenience

I have had troubles with magnetic cases in the past, the magnets interfer with some components, in a S3 the case started the camera! How? I will never know

If done correctly , I've always done red neck by using Velcro. I made sure back of case was clean via alcohol , then same to the smooth area of my dash.

3m grade velcro used, never came off during my last three devices with cases.

I was using it for my Note 4 and currently Oneplus 3t and no problems on that though

Currently using mine without any issues - it's between the phone and my thin Spigen case. I never use the S-Pen on the mount - totally pointless...so this whole thing is a moot point unless you use a desk stand magnet holder.

What the metal piece will do, however, is interfere with wireless charging if the charger's coils cannot touch it well enough. I'm currently in the testing phase of seeing which charger works best with this setup.

Choetech Fast Wireless Charger 1: http://amzn.eu/169eOGi

Choetech Fast Wireless Charger 2: http://amzn.eu/4r62fmZ

UPDATE:

So I figured out a way to get the phone to charge with the metal piece inside the case to avoid the coils. Basically, place it horizontally near the bottom 1/3 of the phone (I had it in the middle vertically before - and this is the main area where the coils touch to charge).

I tested with both Choetech chargers this time using a good thick micro-usb cable to my Samsung Note 8 charger. I used the Ampere app to measure the mA. Charger 1 hit around 830-900mA consistently. Charger 2 hit around 500-800mA inconsistently. My Huawei Mate 9 Super Fast Charger and the Samsung Note 8 Charger with my Huawei Mate 9 usb-C Cable and Note 8 usb-C cable both hit 1030-1040mA consistently max when plugged in.

I'm returning the new one (Charger 2). It has a less appealing, odd shape with fans that don't really do anything. It's much bulkier too.

Normally, wireless charging is terrible compared to USB charging, but this setup really impressed me. Try it and let me know what you guys think.

Nice. Thanks for the feedback.

My pleasure. Previous post updated! :fingers-crossed:

I guess I don't see the point either, as I don't drive and try to write on my note at the same time..

Yeah, I ended up putting the metal disc (which is only even necessary due to my dbrand skin) on the bottom of my phone so I can use a mag mount and still have wireless charging. Sans skin, my note 5 didnt need a disc and my 8 probably wouldn't either.
