Great to cover screen
on May 12, 2013
Posted by: 1sttimeAndroidowner
I bought this case as it was one of two available on release. I got this one because I liked the idea of covering the screen with the flip cover. When I put the phone in my pocket it is good to know that something in the pocket won't scratch the screen.
The flap attached to the case is made really well in that it folds back cleanly to allow full access to the screen and doesn't become a burden in your hands. I like the window on the cover so I can check the time and incoming calls wiithout opening it.
I recommend this case especially if you are one of those people who don't like a bulky case but want to protect the screen. The flip cover and case does not provide any impact damage for the phone.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Blocks S Voice and Google Now
on June 6, 2013

I was determined to get this case even though the price was in my opinion overpriced and even though as other users have reported the volume is inaccessible when closed as well as the case no closing completely. However I liked the case until I made the discovery and had other users confirm my findings that when the case is closed you cannot initiate a voice-enabled hands-free call via Bluetooth. Neither S Voice nor Google Now will function regardless of what settings you have set. With the case open it seems to work but closed is a big fat NO. Samsung claims they are unaware of this and therefore cannot acknowledge this issue let alone comment on if/when a fix would be available. I was told to return the case and try another. However other users at active Android forum sites are now starting to come forward and report the same. Very sad an over-priced piece of plastic with magnets can pass through Quality Control and Technical Support with this issue going unnoticed and be released to the public.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, blocks voice-assisted dialing when closed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Concept ....doesn't stay closed completely

I ordered this case because of the great front window display to see the time, notifications, etc. Little did I know from watching various videos, it doesn't stay closed completely. The description mentions a magnetic flap...I assumed that meant magnetic to keep it closed, but I'm now assuming that means that's how it knows to tell the phone to shut down the screen and show just the window view. It's very stylish, super slim since it snaps onto the back of the phone instead of adding another layer, and does the trick to keep from scratching up your screen. The plus side....I have had no issues with it not 'telling' the screen to go into S View mode even though it doesn't stay closed. The flap can be put behind the phone for easy holding within a car holder, etc. All and all it's a fantastic product and works well, I just wish it would stay shut all the way.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: doesn't close completely, relatively expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Makes your Phone look small and light.
Offers superb protection on screen.
Be Carefull !
My wife and i both have s4's and about a few days ago, her phone fell to the ground and hit on the chrome edge of the sides. Wich are not protected by case, her phone now has a huge gash on the metal and a small piece of metal is actually sticking out. She felt horrible ! I felt horrible !
We purchased the otterbox com.. now and are happy with case, but we wish this case protected the phone better as it is much lighter and thinner.

Great idea!

Just purchased this cover and love the functionality. Put in on and phone recognized it, did not have to do anything to get it to work, seamless integration. Only downside would be the material the window is made of, fingerprints visible, for the price would like to have a better quality material for the window. Overall a great product, keeps my phone protected without adding huge bulk and can still see updates.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: pricey

This cover looks pretty cool, but it really isn't practical for a phone. It is annoying having to open a cover up, plus it is hard to use the camera.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
