I don't understand ... All I can think of the glass breaking when you apply pressure to the case.

I don't understand your reply. I did not press the case. And the sound is from case itself.

Does this work only with the JB ROM, or will it work with stock. With the right magnet (or strip), this could be just what a lot of folks are looking for.

I did not test it with stock rom.
May be someone can have a try.
Only problem right now is I need a smaller or thinner magnet. The one in the video is still toomagnetic. When I fold the cover back it can still wake and sleep my tablet.

Well, I tried with stock just now, and got nothing. Either my magnets (I tried several from the fridge, including one neodium) weren't strong enough, or there is a setting in the JB ROM (build.prop or the kernel perhaps?) that allows this. I am hoping that this is hackable, but am waiting until JB to root/unlock. Really would like this feature though.

Can you give some details about what you did? Is that just a normal magnet? What size/strength?

Just a normal magnet from my fridge. It's about 5 mm wide (diameter)and 3 mm thick.
But it is still too thick and strong.

Where does the magnet need to touch? I tried this on stock with a magnet and I can't get it to do anything.

According to others test, it doesn't work with stock rom

You can find the magnet location on the dock with a piece of iron, it is around the track pad, right side if I remember right.

Ah, sweet! I've got to modify my own case too now! I believe I've found the perfect sized magnet for this purpose.
I first started off disassembling some broken earbuds, but the magnet was too weak. Then i recalled having a spare-part-laptop lying around, so I tore out the built in speakers and made my way to the magnets. And look at that!

in the stock rom the magnetic sensor is disabled unless the dock is connected. Its a stupid setup that Asus did and was changed in the custom rom.
Hopefully this clears some problems for people.

It seems like your magnet is bigger than mine.
Is it too strong ? Like mine, when I fold the cover back the magnet still has effect on the tablet.

Crap... Haha. I didn't check that! It seems it's too strong, yeah. Well, I'll continue the search then!

Now, I've popped open an old Nokia and SE to test the magnets in the speakers. I've also ripped apart another headset, and all of the magnets will lock the pad from behind. I am attaching an image of the 1st magnet I tried compared to two smaller that are still too strong..

Okay so the magnet thing had been figured out, is there a way to patch the stock rom or fool it somehow to enable the magnet feature?

So if it's disabled in stock ROM, can't it be enabled in third party ROMs? I haven't seen anything about it in any of the ROM discussions on here.

Its not that its disabled in stock rom, its disabled when theres no keyboard. it becomes enabled when the keyboard is connected. So I would think it could be enabled simply by modding the stock rom. Im no programmer but i doubt it would be difficult, just a matter of finding where the code is..

I didn't like the one from Samsung. This one looks promising, but....

But it's not made by a brand name company? I would consider buying this if it's prime eligible though.

I bought one from amazon for I think 12 bucks. No prime shipping. But it had a magnet on the side so it would stay shut.
I love it. The other ones wont stay shut.

Looks like it comes from the same build house as Spigen's wallet case. Like previously said, if it does the trick, I think it'd be a great case. What concerns me, though, is the mention of a magnet. That's never a good thing to have around credit cards which looks exactly like what that little insert was intended for.

What then causes the view that appears in the window to work. I am aware that a magnet over the Hall sensor on the side of the phone causes the S view to appear, what then in the S view case causes the reaction?

The S-view function certainly DOES require a magnet. It's not a magnet to hold it closed, it's a relatively small magent mounted about 1cm in from the left side near the volume down button. I had to fit one to my case with an s-view window which came without a magnet (and didn't therefore work).
A credit card mag-stripe will almost certainly be corrupted by the magnet, but then again mag-strips are dying out in favour of chip and pin or nfc. Some banks are starting to issue cards without mag-strips.

i would like to know where did you buy this cover?
thanks

i'm wondering how strong the magnet is at keeping the case closed? i don't want to drop the phone and have the case open and the phone land on the screen and break

I have the official Samsung flip cover (basically same as S view) and after three days with it on, I no longer had any issue with it not staying closed. Once you "break it in" it remains closed just fine. A month later and it stays shut on its own no problem.
I originally ordered one of $12 "Samsung" versions off Amazon. The front of the cover was the same quality as the OEM from Best Buy, but it said "Galaxy SIV" rather than "Galaxy S4" (not a big deal, maybe even a plus for some users) however, the back cover was junk. Didn't match the phone, didn't fit properly and was thicker than the OEM. I ended up selling it on Craigslist a few days later. Very happy with the OEM version and the discount I got with a Best Buy coupon. I'm considering the S view version when it drops in price a bit, but probably won't risk the "Samsung" versions on eBay and Amazon.

iam using the tridea standing view cover. something like sview but with snap on cover for the phone instead of changing the whole battery door. works fine so far.

I wouldn't recommend the case in my picture (not the one being discussed by the OP, I have no experience of it) to anyone. The label saying "premium leather" is a plain old lie. Even gluing a magnet to the cover to enable s-view mode is only partly effective as you can't answer a call with a swipe because the window is too thick.

Permanent smudge splotch on screen

Just got my Note 3 and I'm loving it. However, I recently noticed upon closer examination of my screen that there is a permanent smudge mark that ceases to go away. It only appears when there is a large build-up of normal smudges or when I breathe on the screen.
Here is what it looks like:

Anyone else have this issue? To check, just breathe onto the screen creating that fog-like cover.
From what I have gathered, it is "oleophobic screen coating" wearing off but I have had my Note 3 for four days so it has not gotten that much usage.

I don't have that problem. Does this only happen when you have smudges or breathe on it? If so then I would suggest a screen protector either tempered or film.

Once I wipe the screen of all smudges, it goes away. But as soon as there are more smudges it becomes visible.
Is it worth exchanging?

If you are within you return policy date then yes I would. I'm the type of person if I knew it was there even though I don't see it it would bother me lol.

Mine seems OK, I'd suggest bringing it back also. If it is the coating of the screen vanishing this fast then that's a build issue. - could also cause weaknesses to the screen any time further down the line.

I have the exact same issue. My smudge is alot bigger. Its horizontal a little above center of the screen and about an inch long. It drives me crazy. I can wipe my screen completely smudge free and if I breath on it, there it is! It is starting to exceed the limits of my OCD medication!! :banghead:
Edit: Mine was like this since day one and noticed it about 10 minutes after purchase.

I have never seen anything like that before. If that was my phone i would be seeking a replacement ASAP!!!!

i have the exact same issue here, except the location, which makes it interessting:
mine is exact over the place of the indicator LED, and goes up to the top in a "U" form!
and i do not know why, but i did not encountered it before. could the light (and the minimal
temperature) from the led has something to do with this?

Probably is the coating worn off. I had something similar on my old phone. I ended up polishing the entire screen with a little bit of white toothpaste to remove coating elsewhere and give it a better appearance.

Wow I didn't think there we some many cases like this. What the hell is Samsung doing to these screens?

Reading this thread. .. It's just unbelievable that you guys haven't gone and got a replacement. No way should you be having any of these issues on an expensive flagship phone. Take it back is all I'm going to say. I haven't got it. ... If I breath on it the fog disappears Just as Fast as it came. ..

I hope they replace everybody's phones. We pay to much money for crap like that to happen.

Please dont take that as me being a ****, I just wanted to be certain. My brother in law was complaining about the poor quality of photos on his Note camera for a year until I noticed he didn't peel back the plastic. Nothing personal, but Ive seen it before.
That looks to me to be the same problem Samsung had with their 'Touch of Color' line of TV's. Somehow the color and glass failed to bond correctly and you would see a peel effect between the bezels on the TV. You certainly have a defect there and if possible should have it replaced. If your problem is the same as the TOC tv's then eventually when that peeling progresses there will be nothing bonding your glass to the frame.

It may have caused by subjecting a black phone to heat like on a car dashboard on a sunny day.

Similar Problem
Hello All,
I know this is a late response to your previous threads but I'm just experiencing the same problem and wanted to know what ultimately happened when the phone was taken back to the provider? Was it fixed, was it replaced under warranty?

Mine too. Looks exactly the same

Same problem. Just started looking around to see if others were experiencing the same issue.

same here. only for is left down corner.

Dame here on two whithe S6. First I thought it was by heat but this happened to me after my phone fell and hit the upper left corner on floor. It was using protective case but there were damage on aluminum frame and the white plastic of screen glass started peeling off.

Same issue with an S6 I've owned for a couple years. Screen is peeling under the glass on the top left of the device as seen in other photos. AT&T will not help because the device is out of warranty, and when I asked Samsung to cover this defect in materials/craftmanship :
Samsung has temporarily suspended out of warranty repairs due to current business conditions.

had something similar in my s7, probably by dropping it, or overheating issues,, however,, i had something with my usb port and went to samsung care center to fix it,,... they fixed the phone, and replaced the lcd and glass and mentioned ( color peeling issue ), and they fixed everything on the warranty, so don't worry, they even fixed it in less than a day, .. hope that helped out

For those who have this problem : your phone has been missed in front of the sun or a powerful light.
THis is an UV glue.

Gap between glass and frame

Does anyone have a slight gap between the glass the the frame of the phone?
Slight gap at the back (volume button side) where i can fit a piece of paper while the other side is sealed tight.

Holy crap! I have it too!
Just fit a sheet of paper in it. The other side is sealed though.
It might be normal then. I just want to be sure thats not gonna affect the water resistance, but i took this in the shower on day 1 already with no issues.

not sure.. I just need confirmation that this gap doesnt cause any issues with water contact..... that's all haha. If it does, then there's no reason for them to reject my request for an exchange.

After watching the teardown video, it looks like the source of the sealing is the glue that affixes the glass. I don't think the bezel contributes much to the waterproofing. I could be wrong, though.

omg I noticed that too!
Also, i can feel the metal bit sticking out a bit more on the volume side

Pics? I use a silicon cover so I can't see it.

He claims that the white version has a back glass askewed and this is a top and bottom part of one side.
