S-View flip cover defect? - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I bought a flip cover, but it doesn't go all the way, and doesn't completely close. I removed it, and installed it again but that didn't solve it. Is it meant to be like this? I thought that it was supposed to snap magnetically and fully cover the screen
I have also installed a zagg screen protector installed, but I don't think that that should cause a problem like this. Is this a case of faulty design, or misinformed consumer? Pic included below.

I had the regular one and was not impressed. Did about the same...
Too much money for such a poor performer...

Yeah same issue here.
I am hoping the OtterBox for the S4 is going to be out within 2 weeks. If so, I'll return the S view cover for a refund and get the otterbox

The S-View cover DOES NOT magnetically close. Nor does the regular flip cover.
This is by design.

I didn't expect it to be magnetic, but if I lay my S4 down on a flat surface the cover should go down all the way. Mine stays open about 1/2" and doesn't fully close unless I hold it closed...

Wow, this case was like 60 bucks. This is just horrible design, which is a shame because I was looking forward to it. Back to ATT this cover goes -_-. Now to look for another case.

glad i opted ut of the original and bought a knock off from aliexpress for 8 bucks

It s just new, set it facing down for a little bit for it to set in.

Yeah I feel it should be magnetic, its 70 bucks for ****'s sake. But like the post above me said, it might just need to break in or be set face down for a while

I think you both got taken as I bought my s-view cover from a Smartone (mobile network operator) store here in Hong Kong for USD$29 yesterday. God knows why it's so expensive in the UK and US!!! It's a nice cover but definitely not worth $60

Yeah and there are $8 knock offs on Amazon already.

over a few weeks, it will loosen up and sit much tighter on the screen......but it still wont stay shut in the even of a fall...

I ordered this case from Amazon, but it must be coming on the slow train, because it's taking forever to arrive. I like that it has the s view option, but still protects the phone better than the official case. Hopefully it won't be a piece of junk.

Mine closes flat and did as soon as I installed it, but others I know at the same event would not stay shut.

I tried this out on my phone yesterday at Best Buy and I didn't like it at all. The fitment felt off for me. It was kinda nifty, though.

Mine doesn't sit flat either. I'm gonna keep it a few days on it's face to see if it loosens up a bit. I only paid $20 for the official one so even if I don't like it it's not a huge loss.

Usually when I order from China, it takes around 2 weeks for me to get in the mail. I wish manufactures would have made them earlier since all the specs were released...I guess I'll just use some kind of pouch to carry it around till I get something.

Been case and screen protector free on my GNex for almost a year, not a scratch or ding on it.
Next week when my daughter takes it though it will be in a Kraken case
I would pick one up, but I don't want to cover up that sexy back of the nexus 4
I'm probably going to put a full body screen protector and not put on a case though that one looks nice. Just got be extra careful. What would be really cool is if they made a Qi inductive case, that charges your phone, that way you never need to charge your phone.

The Nexus 4 has QI charger built into it. I believe it has a range of 40mm... So unless your case is made of metal you will be okay.

I have this case myself and bought it for $10 used. The sides by the power and volume buttons do tend to "warp" a bit, but maybe an 8th of an inch. Very slim and durable case that will take a beating. I highly recommend it, my wife wants one lol.

I stopped using it and put my "old reliable" (a Diztronic TPU) back on. I can't get over how it honestly feels like you're about to snap your phone in half when putting it in or taking it out of the case.
The case is pretty fantastic. Scary if you need to take the phone out for a battery pull. Feels like I'm going to bend my phone and break it getting this thing off lol. I scored this and a Moshi screen protector for $5 too. BEST SCREEN PROTECTOR EVER. Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, I'd pay full price for another one.

Just put a Moshi on my Rocket tonight. Quick, easy install. Considering how thick it is, I'm not sure that I should be using tight-fitting TPUs anymore (very concerned they'll damage the edges), but since I've got a new non-TPU case on the way and have plenty of the looser-fitting mesh hybrids lying around, I think I'm set. My wife wants one for her Rocket, too. First screen protector I've tried that she's ever gone, "Whoa, I want one of those."

S-view cover is actually worth getting

All the reviews I see of the S-view say it is bad, when actually they are reviewing it before it has had a chance to be broken in. When broken in it closes completely, and it doesn't leave marks on the screen when you use a screen protector. I would recommend getting a cheap knock of and see if you like the feel before getting the real one.

I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
I just grabbed an official one for $36 on ebay that ships from the United States.
I'm pretty excited for it and will not post a review until I let it settle in. I also plan on using it only for when I work or travel. When I'm at home, I'll replace it back to the stock cover.

I checked it out and fitted the white one today at bestbuy, but just couldn't justify spending $40+tax (after pricematch and $10 credit) on a plastic case, maybe if it was leather. I take pics of my toddler a lot, so this case is just not right for me.

I picked up an S-View case when I bought my S4. I do like how it helps to steady the phone when taking pictures or watching my Slingplayer. I use it as a sort of mono pod in my hands. It does remove finger prints on the glass with tge felt lined inside.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I really like the s view option, but I'm not thrilled with any of the cases out there yet. I would like one that properly protects the corners of the phone, and that stay closed if the phone is dropped. So far none of them have those features. I have an s view case (the tridea brand, from amazon) that I'll use until something better comes along.

No, it doesn't. The s view window is over the camera when flipped all of the way over. However, the window can pick up fingerprints, so that's something to be aware of when taking pictures. This hasn't been a problem for me so far, but I've seen posts by others who are concerned about it.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Case cracks at the usb

I have the say it is the best looking case out for the GS4 but the main issue is the case will crack at the usb area. Top first then bottom. The area is thin. If they reinforce it some how this would last longer then 2 months. I have never dropped my phone and once on my phone it never came off until it now. Am I the only one?
Nope. You're not the only one with quality issues on your NeoHybrid.
Mine had paint chips which appeared from nowhere.
Seems like there are some serious durability issues with the NeoHybrid case.

Yeah, my neo hybrid for the SGS2 last a long long time too. Not sure why for the SGS4 it crapped out on my so fast.
I hope people know about the short comings of the case even if it looks like one of the best cases. I wish they reinforced the area or used the same materials like the GSII case!
I had the same issue. I contacted them thru email and they were pretty fast to respond. They ask me to send a pic of the damage then they sent me a new one and it only took 3 days to get here. Looks like they're aware of the issues because the new one i received is a bit different, the usb insert part is actually a bit thicker and less likely to bend and breaks.

I made a mistake saying is a bit thicker.. It looks the same but the new one with a lip seems sturdy when i try bending it.

Otterbox preserver or lifeproof.

I am in the market for a waterproof case. I love having multiple cases and this is one i dont have. I have been looking at both the lifeproof nuud and otterbox preserver. They both look like really nice cases but I'm worried a bit about sound quality. I really like the fact the lifeproof doesn't have a built in screen protector but read on amazon, like I'm worried about, affects sound quality. I was trying to find the OB on amazon but the only one listed is at 339$ and doesn't have any reviews.
My question is what are your experiences with either case. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Ordered this thing with some trepidation when it first came out.
Waterproof YES
Great protection YES.
Touch functions work well YES.
Sound out - listen to music or calls Yes and quality is okay.
Sound in - speaking on calls - nearly inaudible to person on the other end!
If you use your phone as, well, a phone you MUST use some bluetooth headset/mic or it's a no go.
I was really hoping that this wouldn't be the case, but figured it would be - as virtually all 'waterproof' cases for any device I have just cannot transmit VOICE sound 'IN'.
But hey it is waterproof and provides superp protection. I'll just have to remember to put the case on before I need it.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was looking at that one as well like I said. I've always had good luck with otterbox. The only thing I don't like about in comparison to the lifeproof is the LP is 6.6ft @ 1hr while the OB is only half an hour and then OB has a built in screen protector. I really hate built in screen protectors.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
I've got a lifeproof nuud and I have no complaints. The first one I bought, I had the sound issues that other people on this forum has had. I replaced it and the call quality was damn near crystal clear. I recently had to get a warranty replacement because my USB port cover broke off, and the new one I have now works perfectly also. Another thing that really stands out is their customer service. I called to see where I could buy additional screen protectors and they sent me 3 for free. This last time I called for a replacement, they sent me a brand new case in the box with really no questions asked. I haven't worked up the balls to put my phone underwater yet because I had a bad experience with a casio g'rock when I tried that. But I'm sure it'll come. I recommend giving the lifeproof nuud case a shot, I doubt you'll be let down. I know I wasnt.

As much as I like cases I think I'll buy both. I just bought the nuud on amazon for 50 and next day Aired it for like an extra 4 bucks. Stoked about it arriving and once more otters pop up on amazon I'm going to buy one of those as well.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
I've had both. I started with Lifeproof and went through two Frē cases because of the bad audio quality. I then went with the Preserver. I've been through two of those as well. It's an awesome case, but the mesh covers on the speakers tear off within a few days. My second one only lasted a day in tact before getting ripped off just by pulling it out of my pocket. I took the first one back and got a refund from Walmart, and still have the replacement from Ottetbox. I just super glued the mesh back on.
I gave the Lifeproof another shot with the Nüüd case and couldn't be happer. Call quality is great, and no screen protector to get those Newton rings or "rainbows" between the glass and screen protector.
If you go with the Nüüd but want to buy in store, pick it up at Best Buy. They honored Amazons price of $52.99.
Hell I started out paying $100 from Verizon with the water protection plan. After getting screwed around about wanting to return the case because it was defective, I ended up only paying $60 for it. $50 is a he'll of a deal

The Obex is the only one I haven't tried. I even gave the Incipio Atlas a spin for a week.

The Incipio doesn't close properly with the battery cover of the phone on. If you take it off, it closes, but the screen cover doesn't contact the screen properly and loses touch sensitivity. Also, the tempered glass protector has the worst rainbowing effect imo.

So far the Lifeproof gets my vote as the best for me. I absolutely love the overall design of the Otterbox, but the speakers are a big design issue. If they come up with a fix, it'll be a hit. Out of all of them I've tried, I felt the most protected with that one. Speakers and button response though, hats off to LP.

I agree. I love my obex case. Very secure and keeps your device safe. Very waterproof, I literally run my phone under water to clean it. Screen very responsive. Only issue is the capacitive buttons take a getting used to. Require a bit more finger coverage.
About the nuud, I've read countless reviews about people saying it leaks. Totally not cool. Lol. I really suggest the obex case. Had it about a month with no major complaints.

I have the white / grey cause I don't like dark colors on my phone as they absorb sun light and heat up your device. But they are designed very nicely. Only downside is the white rubber seems to absorb the dye from my jeans xD prolly can clean that up with bleach tho.

Lifeproof build quality for the s4 cases are crap. If I could do it over again I'd probably get that liquipel thing done to my phone and get a cheap case and still come out on top.
