I have the same issue with the official Samsung case. Plus the fabric activates the screen. I have the same issue with my note 2 case. I was thinking about buying one of those gel Bunyan pads and trimming it to fit around the home button and sticking it to the case. Until then I just don't grab it by the cover.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] notebooko:
Hmm... that sounds like a good idea. Guess I can't carry in my backpack until I make that modification. Thanks for the idea.:good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Eric214:
Should Have went with the Moko SLIM fit. I've Been using it since Wednesday and not once has the home button been pressed. I've been tossing it in my backpack the last 2 days with no issues at all. There are two types of Moko cases. I can grab the case without worry of pressing the home button. The one that I got was the SLIM FIT.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] TEK112:
Pretty much any case will activate the home button because it is a raised button. Maybe you have been lucky. With the cover closed press down on the case over the home button and let us know. Maybe the slim fit has a cutout or something.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Eric214:
There's no cut out. I can FORCE it to press the home button but i would never press that hard on it. I mean a 5 pound weight will not make it hit the button. So yeah i can grab it as hard as i want to pick it up and it doesn't press the home button. I think the bottom of the case where you flip it around is thicker there so it extends a little past the tablet and therefore you have to force it back down into the home button to actually hit it.

This is the one that I am using, which seems to be identical to the MOKO cases that several people on here are using. Difference being that, in the UK amazon store at least, the IVSO one has over 700 reviews (mostly positive) and the MOKO case only seems have been bought by one person...

I'm guessing its basically the same case, but branded differently in different countries or something.

Still, the tablet slots in very securely, and the magnets seem to be working nicely to turn it on and off. Will need to make sure the magnets arent causing any faults but other than that the case seems to be perfect, and will protect the tablet while its in my bag, or lying around in my room.

(I had basically the exact same case for my previous note 10.1, but again from another maker, and it protected it perfectly for almost 2 years. Fingers crossed this one does as good a job!)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Eric214:
^^ yeah that is the one i bought (the MoKo version from Amazon) so maybe I'm the only one?! lol nah i don't think so but i noticed that one you posted and it is seemingly the EXACT same case. It is very secure and i feel plenty of protection (I've never dropped a Tablet before anyway) and even though at these prices it has to be fake leather, it feels real and has a very nice soft texture to it imitating leather very well imo. The same MoKo slim-fit for my Tab 2 10.1 doesn't feel nearly as nice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] jgaf:
I got the MoKo Slim Fit today, so far it seems great. There is one thing, that I hope to get fixed somehow. When using the tablet with one hand and having the cover where the magnet is touching the back of the tablet, meaning that is is completely flat, any sudden movement of the cover can toggle the smart screen on and off. It is a bit annoying. If there would be a way to turn off that smart screen thingy it would be awesome.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Eric214:
Idk honestly. Mine has never tripped the screen on/off with the cover flipped all the way around. Mine has been perfect. Maybe from 1 to another the magnets are in slightly different positions? I mean the depth of the magnets. Maybe some are closer to the leather side of the flap so it's closer to the tablet when it's flipped around. Idk I'm just throwing out ideas. Because why would different ones of the same case act differently? Unless it's the tablets. Maybe the quality of the screen calibration is the culprit.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] jgaf:
Yeah it's a bit weird, I am going to keep trying to find the best way to hold without tripping the on and off, maybe glue something that prevents the magnet from touching the back. So far that the only thing I am not so happy about this case. Overall it feels great and fashionable. I got the carbon fiber black it is very sexy lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] TEK112:
Try locating the magnet and then place a corresponding piece of aluminum foil between the tablet and the case and see if it stops. Don't coat the whole back as it will impede GPS and Wi-Fi.

I'm almost 100% certain that the Leather Diary does not have magnets. There is a button clip which secures the flap in the closed position. I want to get of these cases myself eventually. They are just darned expensive.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Colchiro:
I think this is the same thing on Amazon: http://www.ebay.com/itm/black-For-2...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item2ecb98130f

What I like about it is you can have it slightly elevated (not vertical) without the tab being up-side down.

Zenus sale

I read on the website that it has magnets to put it to sleep and wake, I hope that will not cause any issues. I want one of these cases too, but like you, I think it's too expensive so I want to make sure everything works before I buy one. For what it's worth, iZenus.com is having a sale, like $8 off, not much, but better than nothing. The other thing I worry about is the case cover hitting the home button. Too bad there is not a video review of this case anywhere yet.

I don't see that mentioned anywhere.

But I am curious about the menu button issue. I love these cases, but at the price I'm hesitant to get it. Especially if I have to worry about the menu button. People have said this can be fixed by rooting your device. I may look into doing that a few days from now.

This is their other website, it shows more detail if you scroll down to where it says smart on/off. From the looks of it, the built in stand on the cover may give it enough lift when closed so that it doesn't push down on the home button.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] gina$zanboti:
Wow thanks. I wonder why they have two websites, and one with less information. Well I've decided I'm definitely not going to get this case. I know a lot of people haven't had issues with the magnets but I'm just too paranoid.

To be fair about the double website thing though... it's nice to see they give you instructions on how to install it. I never would have known otherwise.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] TEK112:
I love the Zenus blurb about the best materials being hand picked by experienced leather experts and then says the whole thing is PU, synthetic leather.

Not just any PU, but Italian PU. I wonder if Italian plastic farmers grow plastic differently than other places...lol

It is a beautiful case though.

2 websites

The .net is their international website, while the .com is local here in the U.S. I was going to order my Note 3 case from the .net site and realized that shipping cost was crazy, then I stumbled upon the U.S. website. I was hoping you would get the case so you can tell me all about it haha. Too bad.:D

I've trying to find different ways around my magnet auto wake problem, but haven't had that much luck at it. The only thing that has work so far is having something between the two flaps, so that the front cover doesn't touch the back cover and toggle the smart wakeup feature. I'm not sure where exactly the magnets are place in this MoKo case.

Also I can toggle the wake-up feature by taking the tablet out of the case and putting it directly on top of the outside part of the front flap, a bit weird.....

Hi Guys,

What cases have stands but NO magnets?

Is the Official Samsung Book Cover free of problems with the digitizer?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] TEK112:
It's not hard to find the magnets. Download the metal detector app for your smartphone or grab a refrigerator magnet and drag it along the case until you feel resistance. Alternatively, you could use a paperclip.

Saw this, kinda interesting:

http://1sale.com/electronics/computers-tablets/gb36221/

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

On the Samsung Book Cover there is one magnet (approx 1/4" diameter) located on the same line as the Samsung logo on the front cover 1" to the left of the Samsung logo.

On the back cover there is a series of 11 small magnets running horizontally (in landscape position) located two inches below the rear Samsung logo. It extends approximately two inches from the left side of the case to the right side of the case and stops two inches short of the right side.

I will check my poetic Slimline when I get home.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Ker~Man:
Anyone know of any cases that are NON-folio and offer possibly a little better protection? I don't want any built-in keyboard or flap-cover(s) or fluff like that. I'm usually an Otter, but they have nothing for this, neither does GumDrop or anyone else I usually prefer! Any suggestions?! Thanks, in advance! :highfive:

Sleeve Cases?

I was just a lucky early-recipient of an early X-mas present. When it looked like no Nexus 10 update this year I started hinting Note 10.1 like crazy.

I'm a fan of sleeves - always use one for my laptops so I can just toss it in my bag and I'm not a fan of attached covers and all. Anybody have a sleeve that works well on the Note 10.1? I'm thinking of ordering a Built NY Slim Sleeve for iPAD, as the size should be OK, and they are under $10 on AMZN. Any thoughts or advice? Any other must-have accessories?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] jaypeezee:
I've been following the accessories pretty closely, and have not seen/read about anything you've described. I think given the size, a lot of manufactures see this is a niche community to begin with, let alone produce accessories that not many people seek - ie. slim, hardshell only protectors.

Theoretically speaking, unless the case is cut perfectly, any iPad sleeve should work but be aware you'll have extra material on the side because the width of the Note vs the ipad is less.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Geordie Affy:
I had a Neoprene sleeve that was meant to be for our tablet and I found it useless as it had excess material on the sides which is terrible on any sleeve also it provided no real protection - most cases/sleeves are generic sleeves labelled for our devices but dont actually fit properly, so in the end I bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130964548413?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Fits our tablet perfectly and secures the tablet on all sides nicely with the extra straps, it also provides very good impact protection with its hard shell case, very good case for travelling and also putting it into your luggage be it on flights or car journeys. Plus it has a really nice feel and easy to hold. I really like it - I thought I'd share incase others were looking for something similar.

(Note: I have only tested this case without a book cover).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] C2Q:
Just got the official book cover. Used it only for a few hours so far so here are my impressions.

The magnet is much weaker than I thought it would be, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The stronger magnets in other cases have had some mixed results, a few people have mentioned it messes with the screen and turns off the tablet when the covers are folded back due to the stronger magnet. That is mainly the reason I opted for the OEM cover so I could avoid those problems. However the magnet is weak enough so that the front flap just flips open when you hold the tablet face down in the air, it can't even hold up its own weight. Doesn't really matter much because it will rarely be in that position anyway.

The back feels really nice, similar to the actual tablet back itself but not quite the same. It is also fairly sturdy with is a good thing. It adds some noticeable weight to the tablet but not much, not really any bulk added either. Corners are protected but i wish it protected the sides completely except for the required cutouts.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Sunfire-:
Got the white MoKo slim line case for my Note 10.1 (2014) through Amazon about a week ago. They were just re-stocked by manufacturer when I bought them, so I'm assuming they are part of the newest batch possible.

Link to product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FUUP8TS

Unfortunately, after about a week, I started getting the pen issue at the bottom of the screen whenever I folded the cover behind the back (i.e., like holding a paperback book or magazine with one hand). It would start drawing two arches at the bottom edge of the screen whenever I attempted a straight line. I started noticing the issue when my drawings couldn't be shaded when I got to the bottom of the screen (it would become a white-space shaped like the McDonald's arches logo). Removing the case made the issue disappear, as did just keeping the case open flat (like an open textbook). I guess the magnets are too strong in this case.

I wanted to go about removing the magnets, but the problematic ones seem to be well concealed within the cover (the other two visible magnets at the top of the screen did NOT affect anything in terms of drawing lines). I guess I really should just return, but thought I'd contact the seller first, see what their opinion was. Before I purchased, I asked about any issues they had with their cases, their response was that no one with a Note had complained of this issue before and they were not aware of any problems with the digitizer + their case's magnets.

It only occurs when you fold the case on itself like a magazine like this: http://comps.canstockphoto.com/can-stock-photo_csp14881800.jpg and only at the bottom edge where the flip cover's magnets are closest to the screen.

Is the Samsung cover the only cover that doesn't have this issue?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Geordie Affy:
You are aware there are no magnets at all on the cover to hold the cover in place when on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] C2Q:
Oh really? Lol I thought it had a magnet to snap shut to the screen but it was too weak to even work.

Well that answers that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Geordie Affy:
LOL, Yeah its a shame but i guess since magnets affect the screen even Samsung couldn't overcome the issue so they didn't bother.

Yeah seems to be the case (Pardon the pun ;)), if you go through this thread and many others its littered with people having issues with 3rd party cases. Yes you have to spend a decent amount £55 ($50-70) for the Samsung Book Cover but at least it wont damage the device you've paid £400 ($600) for - well thats the way I look at it.

Five stars on this for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Sunfire-:
I must be one of the unlucky ones. I thought I'd risk it anyway because there seemed to be just as many people saying they never had an issue with magnets as ones that did. Unfortunately, I fell into the latter pile.

I didn't even notice it the first time, I did a full, to-the-edge illustration with color as soon as I put on the cover (as well as a few to the edge drawings before the case, as well--also did the line test before I put the case on and after I put it on). Everything seemed completely fine.

However, a week went by with the case: I did another to-the-edge colored picture and the gap I couldn't paint or draw in was there. Then I did more testing and drawing, still got those McDonald's arches. The issue vanished completely as soon as I stopped folding the front flap towards the back (spread open like a textbook), or when I took the case off. Putting it on again and folding the flap back made those arches at the bottom of the screen.

I would have loved it otherwise if it didn't have this issue. I really like the stylishness of the case and also just being able to carry it around without smudging it or whatnot. However, couldn't justify the protection vs potential irreversible damage to the digitizer after a prolonged period.

Perhaps there are batches of the Note that are better shielded than the others?

VERUS - Two-Tone Diary Case

Does anyone have any experience with the Verus two-tone diary case?

As I am a new user, I can't post links - however, it is easily searchable on Ebay (shipping from S. Korea, claiming to be "new"). The case looks interesting; price seems high, possibly because it is a new release. It is difficult to imagine that this is much improved on the Zenus design, though.

As an aside, I have been desperately trying to find a Bluetooth keyboard case, but the spotty reviews and magnet issues make me nervous - so in the meantime I am looking for a durable case that I can perhaps even affix a separate Bluetooth keyboard to using Velcro or other modification. Open to suggestions in this regard. Have read through the thread and it seems like many of us are in the same boat, forced to settle until a more viable option is manufactured.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
