I've been looking or a case similar to the iPad smart cover with magnetic closure and came across this one http://www.amazon.com/Navitech-Rotating-Magnetic-Function-Transformer/dp/B007N5DPZM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1346185726&sr=8-12&keywords=tf101+magnetic+case
It says it has magnetic sleep/wake function, which I assume means that it just closes with a magnet as I'm sure they didn't put a magnet in like the diy smart ass covers.
Has anyone tried it? And if not can anyone recommend a good magnetic sleeve case?

I know the topic on cases has been brought up before, and after reading most of the posts none of them offer comments or suggestions on the type of case that I am looking for. I am looking for a vertical leather slipcase that does not have a flap over the top and the clip is fixed to the case but can rotate. If this type of case is not available, is there something close to it. Maybe one that has a flap with some type of magnetic closure.
Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions in advance.

I'm also looking for a vertical case, but have not found one that meets my requirements.
For now, I am using the Krusell case from my old Sony Ericsson P900, which is very close to what is needed and offers good protection.
The great thing about this case is that it has a clear window on the front, so you can see the display and use the phone without having to unclip or flip anything. It also gives access to most of the important buttons (I don't use the camera or voice buttons), the connectors at the bottom and the holes for the speaker are in the right place. The downside is that it is a bit too tall.
Sadly, the Krusell cases for the Wizard are either PDA style or do not give enough protection (I'm clumsy).
All the cases that I have seen so far are PDA style and not phone style.
I really do not want to have to unclip or flip any flappy bits simply to answer the phone.

Not sure if this is what you're describing but you might want to check www.seidioonline.com They have a "swivel clip holster" for the Cingular 8125.
Although this model is a Wizard (as far as I know) I'm not sure how closely the external surface contours match the other wizard models. This might be an issue with a holster such as this.
Hope this helps
i'm using one for the blackberry 7100,
fits your requirements.....
Seems like there's finally an option for those of us that want to use the cradle without having to fiddle with removing the case. Check out the Sony carrying case SGPCV1, it's a thin padfolio type case that can double as a fold back stand. I'm not sure how it works so that it fits into the cradle, so hopefully somebody on here that desperately wants to use their Tablet S in a case with their cradle will buy one and show/tell us all. It does require you to basically glue the case to the tablet's back using weak adhesive pads.
I checked it out in Sony website, it's kind of thick and wonder how it can fit into the cradle
It doesn't. I've bought Sony Tablet last week along with a cradle and the mentioned case. The case is excellent, btw: thick, but fits tablet perfectly, can serve as a cradle itself and is nice to hold. But it doesn't go into a cradle. The only option (besides removing it every time, which is not recommended) is to semi-open it (see the third photo on sony-asia.com/product/sgpcv1) and insert a cradle inside. It's too much hassle, so I just shelved the cradle and use the case at all times.
It does kind of fit if you fold the case back on itself, but it's more convenient to remove the case when docking and reattach at a later time with the velcro fasteners that come with it.
Yes, but a tablet also sticks to gel pads, which become dirty when you remove the case often, and need replacing -- and there's only 4 or 6 spare ones!

Would the tablet be held onto the case properly with just the velcro attachments, minus the gel pads? I was thinking that was one way of how this case worked with the cradle...you removed the tablet from the velcro and put the tablet into the cradle without the case at all. Which really isn't using the tablet within the case and the cradle like I had hoped.
I could also see that what makes this padfolio case unique compared to other Tablet S compatible ones is that it leaves the thinner lip edge wide open and attaches to the thick end. The thin lip end I figured was the part that really needed to make contact with the cradle, so wouldn't folding the cover backwards so that the bottom edge is exposed let it fit? That is to say, the cover would actually fold behind the cradle and cover the back of the cradle once the tablet is docked.

I guess, yes, although it would be not as firm, and may be uncomfortable to hold.

Yes, that works. But the folding part of the cover does not stick to the back of the case, so it would lie on a table, looking very strange. As I've mentioned, the cradle can fit inside the half-open case (see attached image).
Hello everyone!
I wanted to know if there's an armor case with magnetic charging cut-out?
Also have anybody tried Trident Case Aegis to see if it has magnetic charge port cut-out/working?
Thanks!
Bump...!

not exist, unless you yourself modify any case

Anything anyone's spotted yet?
I've found the Devilcase and the alumania, but I'm not convinced of them because they aren't full cases.
Not really a tough case in some aspects however the Ringke hybrid has a full TPU bumper with a hard clear plastic back, It has a charging port cut out (thin TPU band on the top edge of the port) and a magnetic port cut out but no Micro sd card slot cutout. This is the "revised" version so old stock may not have the magnetic port.
If your after a full on nokia strength case then your best bet is to purchase and existing one and bring out the hacksaw to make an opening for the magnetic port.
So I picked up a Spigen folio case for my Nexus 6 and was disappointed that it didn't come with a magnet in the cover for lock/unlock. Anyone mod their case to add a magnet or know of a magnet that's strong enough (and thin enough) but won't lock the screen when you put the door flush against the back? I'm thinking of buying a crappy $5 case off Amazon and just ripping out the magnet but thought I'd ask here for input. Thanks!

I've modded my vertical belt case. Thin neodymium magnets fixed at the outside (Superglue)
Screen swtchess off went N6 is in the case.
But when moving/walking the screen turned sometimes on. Causing battery drain.
Yeah neodymium are going to be way too strong unless its really small.
I have the same case having an additional magnet in the cover may ruin the cards sitting right behind them
I'm going to be using dbrands case w/skin there's no question there for me, so with that I decided to find a magnet that I can put on the back of the phone that will use magsafe accessories.
I found this, link and while I'm not fan of anker I know it's a good brand. I read the questions and reviews and it does work on samsung s22 so I assume it will work on the s23u as well. Now for my question, I need to find where the coil is in the s23u so I can stick the magnet in the best location. So far I found these pics (see attached) of a case designed for s23u that has the magsafe in the case and it claims it's location is perfect but can anyone tell me if that's true or a better guide or teardown where the coil is?
Spens don't like magnets. I would avoid that.

Then why did samsung launch this official magnetic gadget case for the s23u ultra that is clearlya magsafe ripoff?

Google it. One way to find out for sure...
I think the camera bump would interfere with anything you would attach to the magsafe ring?

There are MANY cases with it built-in so it should work on the back of the phone itself.

I've already got a case I'm going to use and that isn't changing otherwise I would have just bought a magsafe case.
Also I think I found the coil, I think. In the teardown skin for the s23u on dbrands site (which I believe is accurate). I think the side of the coil is where that one cable is curved where I drew the red arrow

Samsung gadget case is not Magnetic , it attaches accessories by some locking mechanism, & yes magnets interfere with Spen untill you gen a magnetic sheilded case like UAG or pitaka

How does the interference manifest? I have a basic Spigen clear rubber case with magsafe and have yet to experience any S-pen problem.

It's not the magsafe case that causes issues, it's when you attach certain Magsafe accessories that the issue arises.
I have 3 magsafe accessories using a Mous case and none of them seem to affect my s-pen. One of them is an Anker 633 powerbank and it still doesn't affect it even while charging from it.

I found this video and i think I can find a magnet and accessories that don't affect the spen pretty easily especially with Amazon's easy returns.
The matter of my original question still stands. How can I find the optimal place to put my magnet? Is there any teardown that shows the location of the coil in the s23u?

You can see where the charging coil is in Jerry's video:
It's basically dead center
Get whatever case you ideally want, attach ESR halolock ring to the back of the case and done. Very easy to align and attach.
The ring has the strongest connection amongst all rings and cases.
If you don't want to attach a halolock you could buy a case you like with a ring built into it from ESR, Spigen and a bunch of others.
The spen interference is real but it's not because of the ring or the case. It's when you attach a magsafe power bank above a certain magnetic strength and try to use the pen at the same time. Only in this setup will it skip line where the magnetism is strongest. Detach the power bank and pen works without issue.
