I'm currently using a uag case with magsafe and I've had nothing but issues with using the spen on my s24 ultra. It's like the phone doesn't want to register touches or writing while using it. Recently I did an experiment and switched to a different case that didn't have magsafe and it seemed to work perfectly fine. Is this the case for all magsafe cases or is there a work around for it? 
Thanks

90% of the case with MagSafe won’t work with the S pen because the magnetic field interferes with the s pen position sensors.  The phone wasn’t designed to have magnets attached to it.

You have to test a few out. My case works well, but I also have a magsafe wallet, and when I attach it to my phone then my spen acts up.

Same. I have the MagSafe Mous case and works perfectly fine until I attach my unnecessarily strong wallet. Then I lose the entire middle of the screen for s pen usage. However, popping on my MagSafe pop socket to the case results in a perfect experience. The wallet definitely has a stronger set of magnets though, I guess since its a wallet, it makes sense to have the most powerful magnets.

A great solution to resolve this is to buy a non magsafe case but get the ultra thin non magnetized metal rings to apply under the case. That method has never caused me interference even with the same stupid strong wallet.
