I got my S4 on release day at Best Buy and bought the s-view cover. Mine had perfect fit and finish from the start and stays closed completely. I am very satisfied with the quality and look of the s-view cover. I have not had the problems that others have had with smudging the inside of the window and being able to answer without opening the cover works great. It also works well for night-time driving as it doesnt blind you with glare and ruin your night-vision.
There are several videos on YouTube showing you how to determine a genuine Samsung S-View case and a fake one. The fake cases look EXACTLY like the real ones, especially the packaging. I can see where the bogus cases would not shut properly and how aggravating that would be so make sure you are getting the genuine article when you purchase yours!

thanks for the info mate i was on my way to order one from ebay! i'll double check.
Exact same experience with the regular flip cover. OEM is perfect, "Samsung" one ordered off Amazon for $12 was junk. The first obvious difference was that the Amazon one read "Galaxy SIV", while the OEM version reads "Galaxy S4". The biggest issue is the back of the case, which does not match the phone, is ill fitting and prevents the flip portion from ever breaking in properly and staying closed.

Has anyone seen a wallet case for the Samsung Galaxy s 4 with a window. I just got this phone and I really want a case that will hold a few dollars and some credit cards and also has a window. The closest I have found is this case,

But it looks like it only holds 1 CC.
Hi all,
Was wondering if there are any decent cases I can get for my N4. It's getting a lot more difficult to get a case now, I've got a plain TPU one but I'd love to store some cards and maybe a bit of money with my phone.
Does anyone know where I can get a Nexus 4 Fancy Diary case in Navy/Lime? I found one in Pink and frankly that's not really my colour haha. Plus all the other wallet style cases are really ugly (I searched eBay). Fancy Diary case looks like this.
Alternatively I wouldn't mind a case with some card slots in the back. Does anyone know if this affects NFC capability? I would put one card in my TPU case, but I hear that it always sets off the NFC chip. I use Beam semi-frequently (~once a week). Examples of the card slot case are: this one, another one and this one. I don't mind the extra bulk if it means I don't have to carry my wallet with me all the time! I particularly like the look of that third one, although I'm not sure how stable it is with keeping the partition closed.
I'm based in Australia, so online retailers will have to ship here!
Thanks all.

I was looking for the same thing as well. There is this if you are ready to spend $30: http://www.shapeways.com/model/914960/nexus-4-credit-card-case.html
To me, I took the inspiration from CardNinja and decided to DIY and the end result looks like attachment.
It's part from my failing Poetic case, I retained the hard case and cut out the pouch. Super glue it and voila.
The hole you see at the bottom left is no accident. I cut it out for back speaker only for credit cards to block it...
Sadly, I don't think it's going to last very long. But while it works I can report that it feels immensely better than having to flip open the Poetic cover for every usage. The portability is excellent and the phone gets protected.
I have to concede that this is one of the advantages of iPhone. Nexus 5 doesn't have a case like we want either.
I received this case for my Galaxy S6 at an 85% discount in order to provide an honest review. Before I begin, it is important to note that I am not the type of person who would find a wallet case useful. I do not always carry my wallet with me on my person in the first place, and as I am often in the gym, I need a case that can stand up to sweat and dirt. That being said, I am reviewing this case as a wallet case. I'll assume that if you're interested in buying this, you have already made the decision that you are a wallet case kind of person. Finally, note that I did not use this case for more than a couple days. I cannot attest as to its long term durability.
My very first thought upon receiving the product was that it was packaged nicely. My second thought was that the included lanyard, which you need to loop into the case yourself, was extremely annoying. I removed it almost immediately after installing it.
The case has a distinct, leathery smell. The smell also rubs off on your fingers the first few days and can cause some minor alarm until you realize that it's from the case. It otherwise feels and looks premium.
My biggest gripe with the case is that it is not useful to someone with more than a few credit cards. There are 4 slots for cards, and one of the slots has a clear plastic cover, ideal for placing an ID for quick viewing. In my usage I found that each slot couldn't take more than 1 or 2 cards before the case was unable to close and began to warp. In total, if you have more than 6 cards, you're going to have to leave some behind. For me, this meant I could only fit my driver's license, my school ID, two credit cards, and two debit cards. And that's not including cash, which seems like a pain to put in and out.
As far as the phone's functionality goes, the case has a plastic frame that snugly fits around the phone. The buttons are accessible through openings in the case and are easy to press. If you need to take a phone call, it seems like you'd have to fold the wallet portion of the case around the back. Again, I'm not a wallet case person. I imagine this is the case with all similar products.
Overall, it's a nice product for what it's meant to do. My real problem was not being able to carry more than 6 cards. This made the case impractical for me. But if this is the type of case you want, it will do nicely.

If you do not like that kind of case , you should give the opportunity to other who might use it for real
We are really down for this

Well I certainly like the case enough to keep it. I will probably use it while I am traveling, so I can consolidate cards and phone into one case, and since I will be traveling internationally I won't need some of my debit cards.
If you guys decide to make a simple case like the apple one for the 6/6+ I would love to try out something like that.

there are some members in this forum want to make that kind case you wanted .
How is the case now ?
I think 6 cards are over the limit of this case ,sorry for that anyway
So I wanted to share this wallet case I found for the z flip 3 that is effectively a bifold men's wallet
The case does not affect wireless charging as there are no card slots on the back of the phone which allows the wallet to open up and sit on a wireless charger while the phone remains closed.
The pleather is pleather, same as any wallet, it has 4 pockets in total(see pics) and if you have anymore than 6 cards(you can double up the cards in the pockets) you'll need to get a wallet insert like this to have more cards, it can be inserted behind the photo/ID pocket in the wallet
Over all I'm very happy with my purchase, the Wallet case has effectively allowed me to have my phone and wallet effectively be the same thing without the issues that came with wallet cases for candy bar styled phones(like blocking the screen, or the camera, ect.)
One of the biggest downsides I have experienced with this case is because the card holding part of the case is not attached to the back of the phone it kind of flops around but once you figure out how to hold it it isn't even an issue imo
