DemDog (love the name btw) just FYI to you and Baggy...not sure what it is but I think I have the exact same case as you do, just black, if you look at my OP on this subject, and for reasons beyond my comprehension something in the case...The position of a magnet designed to turn off the screen when it is closed is my best guess...is causing my Note 10.1 2014 to go nuts when in the case...S-Pen stops working, screen randomly turn on and off...very odd. In fact now I feel really bad because Amazon got all sorts of grief from me because they sent me a "NIB" Note (sold by, not fulfilled by Amazon). Aside from some stupid cosmetic stuff (like some of the stickers were peeled off, etc.) I truly think the device was in fine working order. I was so angry because of the erratic behavior on a device that was clearly used and sent back that I got Samsung USA involved and for the first time EVER since I have known of them, Amazon credited back a nearly $600 purchase in advance of me even printing a shipping label! Now it looks like it is all this little bastard of a case! II mean, there is no other explanation. II bought a brand new device through BB and it started doing the same stuff. I really thought I was losing it, but I have never experienced interference from a protective case before. sure enough the moment I take the device out of the case all "bad" behavior ceases. Now what? As much as I hate Apple and think they are secretly plotting with China and the Right Wing to take over the world, at least their cases are metal on something this pricey. Pleather and chrome paint not cutting it Samsung. So, what to do? The poet or poetic case been okay? Does it have a strap that you can slide your hand through like this Moko one has (that is my favorite feature...prevents drops)? I must I suckm it up and she'll out $60 US for the Samsung cover, where 2/3 or more of the price is because it says "samsung"?
