There has been drastic drop in the price for almost 84%, lol. How come the initial price was 60$, that's a fortune for such case.. My job here is done.:angel:

Looks really shady...
Wonder if this would work with a glass screen protector?
I don't think those $10 ones are real.

Probably fake. They're still $60 on samsung.com.

Well if it's not, Amazon is allowing a significant ammount of false advertising!!
FYI,
just did some research on this seller and found out that the same seller was selling fake griffin iphone cases. And I'd say this s view cover is also fake.
No harm taking chances though, as amazon has great buyer protection.
Cheers.

You are correct about the complaints regarding the Griffin, however, there are as many postings that indicate the case is original and one alleging to be by persons who worked for Griffin, and apparently believe they are real. WHO KNOWS, and what in the world is Amazon still selling them as advertised when supposedly fake cases are being supplied.??
Someone just posted a video in this section which shows his "OEM" cover puts the phone in S-View mode when the cover is folded back against the phone. Also, his cover has "Samsung" printed on the front top. Neither mine nor the pictures on Amazon have this. Pretty sure the $9.00 are knock-offs (with a magnet problem).

Eh, I ordered two of them, one to keep brand new for resale with the device in a year and the other to swap between it with the aftermarket wireless receiver in it and the upcoming OEM wireless charging cover.... if it sucks, I'll take it up with Amazon, but I've always wanted one just not the price tag associated with it! I only paid a couple $20's more than the MSRP of the S View cover for the phone itself!
I'll gladly report back with my findings - I'll even bring it in to the local BBY and fit both to compare
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
If you look at amazon now, the s-view case and the flip case are under $10 plus free shipping. And they are Samsung OEM. Shows original price as $59.95.

They will look just like the $59 ones because they are being sold by Samsung... Manufacturer is Samsung.. They are the same thing.
That's like saying the s4 sold on the same site by Samsung is somehow a cheap knockoff. Do an amazon search of galaxy s4 s-view.

wellllllllllllll....... let me correct some things you just said - this is NOT being sold by Samsung, it's being sold by "TopEDepot," whoever the F that is, it's a vendor on Amazon, read: NOT Samsung. The seller is claiming it is made by Samsung, but we'll all soon find out how true that is, I guess!
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
No OEM Samsung product ever says "Galaxy S IV" on it, not to mention how poorly made the back cover is and the SAMSUNG logo on the back looks like a crappy screen print on the junk cover.... Starting a claim with Amazon to get my money back, oh well, it was worth a shot! I'm loving my S Charging wireless charging battery cover anyways, so it's no big deal, most likely wasn't going to use the S View cover much if at all!

Thanks for pointing this one out.
I am a bit suspicious of the ebay seller you listed because of the price. The retail is $25 and they are selling it for $9? That's too good a deal. Will be very interested to see what you get. If it's good maybe I'll pickup one, just don't tell my wife... I only have 5 cases, need an even half dozen.

"We are an authorized reseller of genuine Pinlo accessories. For verification, contact pinlo.com. "
if its fake, we can file a complain?
cuz he is selling at $10 whereas the original is $25.

Please let us know in your review if it allows the camera bezel/lense cover to contact the surface of whatever it is laying on.

I did the same thing. I'm hoping mine gets delivered by next week. I don't think I've been this excited about a case in awhile.
*edit*
Forgot to mention my only concern is that not all TPU button covers work good. I've had some cheap TPU cases where the buttons were so horrible the case was not usable.
If i had to guess, the buttons on this case look plastic like the ones on the SGP Neo Hybrid. If you watch the Youtube video you can see the inside of the buttons. Usually the problem with plastic buttons is over-responsiveness if anything.

So I know some people out there at first hated the port cover. As being one of them, I initially removed it. Then after seeing countless threads about how you can't do the trade in without it or that you will be charged for it. I looked into replacement parts. At this point it was to early, so I left it alone. Now after some time I looked back into it.

Now I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is for the people who did remove it.
Have a good one
Looks like the shipping costs have been fixed.
I highly recommend witrigs for OEM parts.

Honestly just buy a few of these for a few bucks a piece. Remove the battery cover and you can replace it taking out 1 screw by the battery slot.
No one will ever be able to tell as long as the door is an OEM part and you don't strip/mangle the screw or something crazy as warranty still intact.
Saw this pop up and bought one. Had the same brand/model case for my Xperia Z Ultra and it was very nice and great quality. It was the case I ended up using until I sold the phone.
I think I paid around 20 for the xperia version on Amazon... This was a little more but I wanted a case to be here in time for when I get the phone Friday. Samsung is terrible with releasing accessories on time. Who knows when the wallet will be available in the US without waiting for long shipping times from Korea.

ya I got the light gray as well not a big fan of the color but really hated the cheap look and feel of the case mate that att had and despise with a passion the flip wallet. So far I really like the case and doesnt impede on the edge use, fingerprint scanner, or heart rate monitor on the back. I am taking my truck in for minor body work and was going to see if they could spray the case same color as my truck when they paint it.

It just so happened that i still had a Note 2 Otterbox in my closet. You know how you buy a phone and buy the ridiculous over priced case and when the next big thing comes out you buy it and your stuck with that case? Well i have owned every note except for the one to include the Note 4 which my wife got when i got the edge today. I just trying out all my old holsters to see if one would fit and lucky me. I cant imagine that they are even that expensive if you can come accross one on ebay or what have you.

I miss my holster but you know what? I tried out My Seidio Surface Holster from my Note 3 last night and it fits the naked edge perfectly. It is not the spring clip holster model its is the SURFACE case holster model. You have to place the phone upside down because of the power button but it is secure. Seidio has the best cases out there. My note 3 when skidding across the parking lot 60 feet! Not a ding on the case or phone.
Is it possible to get a ccouple of pics? I had my wife snap a couple of mine and send them to me via text. I know some people may only have one phone.

So as I have learned my Edge and the Note 4 share nothing but some specs, the back battery covers are different as are the batteries.
Does anyone know if there is a legitimate Samsung Qi battery cover for the edge out yet?
I can find this one for the Note 4 on their website (EP-CN910IBUSTA): http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CN910IBUSTA
But nothing for the Edge. Ebay is littered with them, but I don't trust is if the samsung site doesn't have any.
Or am I being overly cautious and should trust this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121475910841?lpid=82

Some of them on ebay are from Samsung . The reason is those are from Samsung Korea, which launched the device 2 months ago, so they have the cover available already
Samsung Korea site has them Those are what being sold on eBay. But for $37+$19 shipping is too steep. I'm sure Samsung US will start selling them pretty soon.
I know this is kind of an old thread but the eBay listings are indeed from Korean Samsung. Got mine today

So I ordered the back plus pad on ebay and paid the $20 for shipping. Came in less then a week and after a full day I'm thrilled.
I picked up a qi mini from Best buy for $29 so I can have one at work and one at home.
It works great, and from all I can tell it feels OEM. Not only does the function rock, but it feels much more substantial. After having a HTC M7 and M8, this device felt really cheap. The new back cover greatly improves the form factor.
The back is slightly thicker, it's completely flush with the camera.
Highly recommended!!

Probably won't fit your car no matter what case it is. It makes it thicker. Its a hair thicker than being flush with the camera.
I know with my note 3, the only case I could use that fit like it was supposed to was a bumper case.
