The screen rotation feature of the Jasjam is cool, but it takes a while, and some apps really hate it. It will even crash some video playback. It’s a great function for the slide out keyboard, but it is slow.
Have you ever noticed your Jasjam is incorrectly aligned when you answer the phone or an SMS message, and it takes a few seconds to sort it self out?
Well – it turns out the way the rotation is sensed is via a magnetic pickup. iMate in their wisdom supplies a case that has its lid closed by some very strong magnets. Presto – they just broke their own orientation sensing mechanism, causing the poor thing to heave heart attack when it’s removed from it pouch, and it’s owner to wonder “why is this thing always trying to sort out it’s screen”.
Time to find a leather non magnetic case I think.
