Hi,
Does anyone knows how will work, the s-cover?
It´s going to work like tablet, for the awake function?
And the screen lock, is different?
Thank you.
Have a look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs3fbky8sdA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Does anyone know if the s cover replaces the back/battery cover or clip on, this will be the case for me especially if they get cheaper on eBay.
Hoping this cover also includes all the "bits and bobs" for wireless charging to work (unlikely - but from the video it is slightly thicker than the original battery cover, similar to the wireless charging battery cover seen here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OKgeZPyiHo)
Anyone know where we can order one of these yet?

can only find the black or white ones! would like to buy the green or blue
According to the video I saw, the entire phone with the original back sets in the S view case. When the phone was placed in the case and the front cover closed, the full screen switched to only the info that shows in the window. But what causes the screen to react with just the information that shows within the S view window rather than the entire screen???
S4 pre-ordered from Sprint
Maybe found the answer: Hall sensor

Can you use the S-Cover with a case? Or is it just "one or the other".
It looks like to me if you flip the front cover all of the way open (to the back) to use the camera or shoot video that the front cover will at least partially cover the lens?

I believe it replaces the battery cover. Don't know if a case would work with it??

either or.
You can't use it simultaneously
Yes, S Cover replaces battery cover, and looks alike.
I have version with "window" at front, and automatic unlock works very well.
Some pics of the S-cover inside a case. Doesn't work too well!
The S-cover is pretty nice! I've noticed that the front side is not as strong as the s3 version. Maybe to do with the window they have added.
(This is all torture as I don't get my phone till nxt week! arrgghhhh lol)
Nice, thanks Winwiz.
Used it for 3 hours.. nice!
Received my S4 today in London,UK on "3" network. So obviously went straight to "Samsung" store at "Westfield Shopping Centre" in Stratford. They have the covers for £50.00 each, but won`t be available till tomorrow (same as phones themselfes). So i went into "3" Store which is based at the same shopping centre and voila- bought this cover without any problems for £45 UKP. I know you can buy it twice cheaper online, but will receive it only in 2 weeks or so. So far i can say it works perfectly! The only problem i can see right now the top cover- it`s just flaps, therefore you have to take care while carrying it in the pocket, make sure there is no dust or coins as they can easily get between screen and cover and possibly cause the damage to the screen. Otherwise i recommend it to everyone!
Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?

Just compared both of them and s-cover seems a bit thicker than original, but at the same time it`s more solid and doesn`t bend that much as original does. Once you inert S4 into S-cover the difference is almost invisible and phone looks and feels very thin, take my work for it. Hopefully it hepled you to make decision.
S-cover on the left:
S-cover on the right:
I noted that in settings there is a setting for S-Cover which was on. Cannot find location again can someone help.

Hi all,
I have the following isue: after I gave my qtek 8310 to my sister, it seems the back cover is somewhat broken or malformed because I cannot close it. My sister told me she hasn't done anything but it is possible she forced the back cover in some way. When I try closing the back cover, it doesn't fit well to the phone's body and doesn't make a click sound as usual. As a result it cannot be attached to the phone's body and fully closed. This happens even when there is no battery installed.
Visually I cannot see anything broken and the plastic seems OK. There are no obvious malformations.
Has anyone had such similar issue? Maybe I have to buy a new cover, however I haven't found any website to purchase spare parts for the qtek 8310.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
yo! post here snapshots of the "unshut" back cover so that we may see how can we help ya
10x for the reply.
I will make the shots tonight with my camera and post the links.
even if u dont post, i suspect that either of these slots of ur cell phone are blocked:

Same problem
Hi, I have got the same problem. I have found, the back cover get broken because the battery was old and become "bigger" (got inflated by gas produced in battery by chemical reaction). I have changed the battery, but have not found way to repair the back cover. Maybe just use some hot temperature...
Got the same problem here: seems like the battery has curved (!) it has got a slight bump...
the battery doesn't fit properly anymore - same with the back-cover!
Also my battery drain is quite high... well, it's an 3 year old tornado
on the grey cover, inside, theres the 2 clips, one of them was bent downwards touching the surface, and thus i couldnt slide the cover on without it lopsided or loose. I just lifted the clip a little and fixed it. Be careful its like cheap plastic, felt like it would break easily

Hi again, it seems my problem was exactly the same like lmf's. I just lifted the clips and now the cover fits and slides correctly.
Thank you very much 'dark_prince' for the picture and advice and 'lmf' for further tips. Now I have a happy working tornado with a back cover If we ever meet in real life I owe you many, many beers

Found a great website for skins http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7
Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website
I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more
The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness

These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)

They come on a sheet of vynil with
Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right
Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy

Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue
Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would

I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:
Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow
FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.
@evolutionqy7
your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?
No screen protector
Id say just put it over the actual skin
My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.

But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???
2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?
Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it
Automatically turn the screen on and off?

I have not seen one, but there are a couple of apps on Google Play that are supposed to help you with this if you just use any cover that covers the proximity sensor.
One of them is called CaseSensor, I have not tried this one myself and based on the reviews it may not work that well...
This one does not; however, here is my review on the case I bought. LOVE it.
Ok, my case just arrived. In a word, amazing.
Quality - Outstanding.
Fit - Perfect. Tablet is in there snug. Zero wiggle or shift.
Protection - As good as it gets.
Looks - Expensive.
Feel - Back is soft felt - very comfortable to hold. Inner sleeve small enough to still easily thumb type.
Convenience - Portrait and landscape with REMOVABLE INTERIOR..
Pen Access - Comes with own pen holder designed for the s-pen.
I mean, I am hard on cases and return them in a second if don't like them. I'm keeping this. I love it. I am truly amazed they can produce a case of this quality for $17.95.
I'd take some pictures myself but it looks just like this.

I had that one for 10 minutes . Returned it . That velcro releases too easy , and then when you want to put it together it takes 2 tries to adjust camera cutout . You have to stylus in the holder on the side and not in it's original place like intended . When it's in original place you can't pul it out . After i returned this one I ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Samsung...409002&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+note+10.1+case

There's an opening in the case for the pen so you can keep it in the original place, it's just too small. You can pull it out, it's just not very easy to do. I'm getting better at it though. I would like a bigger opening like the one on the case you linked to.
Anyway, I thought I read that when the pen is not inside the tablet slot, the Note executes pen detection code. If you store the pen outside the tablet, wouldn't that drain your battery? There's even an option (in settings) to turn off pen detection when it's inside the tablet slot.

I think it would only place a small drain on the battery if the pen was close enough to be registering and then you would get the hovering icon which you don't get until the pen is quite close to the screen.
Before you go and buy the White KLD "Smart wake Cover on ebay you may want to read this.
Hi guys
So i bought the KLD and waited almost a month for this to be delivered.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Smart-W...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item19dbff2bbc
Ill be honest its not the worst case in the world but far from how nice it seems in the pictures. The build quality is "ok", it seems to offer decent protection and it has access to everything including the SD card and SIM. The stand seems to work ok too
Now for the bad.
Its CLEARLY not white. Check the pics I have put up next to my white phone case and the white N5100 Its more of a cream or beige . Also it doesnt have Smart auto wake like advertised. Not too worried about this as i know magnets are supposed to be bad for your device or something. The coating that is holding the flap on thats been applied to the plastic back cover has not been put on well. Looks quite cheap and old. The case comes really close to the S Pen so me with very short finger nails, its really hard to access it and trying to press the volume and power button is a real mission. The flap covering the screen moves around a bit too I wouldnt recommend this case to anyone really. I wont be using it for long, waiting for Samsung to get the original book cases in. I would give this case a 3 out of 10

The 360 Rotating Case with auto sleep is much the same as this from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Degree...9&sr=8-7&keywords=galaxy+note+8+case+rotating
The case isnt too bad, you have better access to your S Pen however u dont have access to your SD and SIM slot. The front flap is quite thick so its adds a bit of bulk to the device and a bit of weight too. Its really easy to rotate the device when its in the case so when u are using it in landscape mode it can move around really easy. It seems to add quite a bit of protection to the device and the auto sleep wake feature works even if you close it when your device is upside down. The viewing mode in portrait is a lot more slanted than in landscape and is not as stable but its seems to hold it ok. You can also use the strap used to keep the flap closed as a hand strap. I would give this case a 6 out of ten.
Shout if you want any more pics or info.
I have the samsung book cover and I hate it. Its cheaply made and I dont like the positions it allows me to hold the device in. Also, it takes a minimalist approach and basically just clips on the corners of the device. For $50 I expected more.
I recently ordered this off amazon and like it much better. Many more colors to choose from and the pen is easily accessible. It may only cost and $8 and some change but its worth atleast double that. I also got a screen protector from moko with good quality as well.

Does the samsung book cover have magnets that keep the flap closed if held upside down?
No, and that is just another reason to hate it. It does have the sleep! Wake function but because its not secured by anything while you carry it or heck when the wind blows to hard the lid can move which wakes the device. The one I listed above has a magnet built into the plastic lip and a small metal piece on the cover that secures it in place. It is secure and doesnt come in contact with the screen so it wont damage it.

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?

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.

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.
See my thread about it here
