I'm thinking about getting a S6.
I'd like to know if I bought or made my own magnetic car mount, would the magnetics in the mount cause the device shut down?
The reason I ask is because I've made my own from 3 old HDD magnetics and tested it with my HTC One and Samsung Tab Pro 8.4.
The phone isn't effected, but the tablet shuts down (into sleep mode) immediately when a magnet is near.
To be able to use the magnetic car mount, I need to use a case and place a thin piece of metal (tin lid etc) in the case.
The thicker the plate, the better the hold to the magnet (without increasing magnet strength).
Does a case like the "Spigen Neo Hybrid" or TPU cases have generous amounts of "spare room" at the back (for the metal), compared to something like the one of their hard case designs?
Will it flex a little to fit the plate, is what I'm asking.
Thank you.
