On my note 2 I returned s cover because of how annoying it was to take pictures since you had to hold the cover half open to do so. I'm wondering since the case has the opening now if the camera lens peaks through it or not?
Sure can, shows that off here:

Was wondering this myself. Check out around 2:10 of this video

Tested it- works.. but not the best option
I have finally got both the phone and cover today. So once i found this topic straight away tried to take a picture.
Here is my opinion: Yes, it can be done! .. but the downsides are:
1. smudges on s-cover glass
2. dust on s-cover glass
3. if photos are taken against sunlight s-covers glass shines and reduces the quality of the photo
All together i wouldn`t recommend to use camera with s-cover flipped to the back
Thanks for the info.
According to the video there is no magnet on the cover.
I thought there is a magnet.
Can anyone confirm?
If it's true then wake up on opening should work on any cover like my Note 2.
Would love if it's officially from samsung not a third party app.
Hello.
Does anyone know if the you can see notification light when the case is closed?
I know that in the s-view cover you can't see the LED, but is it possible in this new cover?
Thank you a lot.
Yes it shows. The whole front is transparent exept a little part!
Hey Guys,
i now own a S6, and i wanted to know how Sview is working???
cause i bought a case and there is no sview screen....
i had a S4 before, and there is a hall sensor near the vol down button. if i put a magnet here, i can test sview.
S6 (phone *#0*#) tells me there are 2 hall sensors.
but when i put 2 magnets there, there is no sview screen....
also the mother of my girlfriend (is it called mother in law to me?) has a S3 mini (i think) and there also siew isnt working...
is there a menu a have to activate sview (like i had to do with my s4) within my S6 and S3 mini?
Thank you all!

Hi mate,
the s-view cover is working quite well with the s6 BUT the original samsung s-view cover scratches your screen!
It is the same problem as with the clear-view cover. The hard plastic is sitting directly on the display and if dust or sand comes between you have scratches all over the screen! :crying:
If you have a original samsung cover then you can activate it in the settings under "accessories". If you have a 3rd party cover you will have to download a 3rd party app to use it as it can not use the magnetic trigger (afaik) - this app use the proximity sensor mostly.
hope it helps..
Hi!
Thank you!
I have a Screen protection on the phone. so i hope there will be no scratches...
does the sview cover using the proximity sensor or hall sensor?
with magnet like the S4 does?
Can you tell me where i can find the proximity sensor?
i have no menu called accessories!?
That´s why i´m asking all the questions.
i know from s4 there is an accessorie menu, and i have to activete sview there.
but i can´t find this on s6!
and i want to know more Details how sview cover works.
Thank you
If I'm not mistaken, since Galaxy S5 Samsung has integrated Samsung ID chipset in their original S-View case. Therefore, if you want to use S-View function either buy original S-View case or get a clone S-View case with chipset built-in.
Currently, S-View for S6 has 2 approaches. One is install case owned app & another is clone case with chipset. Else, it won't work even with magnet attached on the case only like Galaxy S4.
Ah!
O.K. Thank you!
there is a special chip.
additional Question:
The S4 SView Case has a (don´t know how to say it in englisch...) small part with a magnet that keeps the case closed.
And the S6 Cover doesn´t have it.
how does it keep closed???
I think if it will be often opened and closed, then it won´t fit after a few "days"...
S6 doesn't accept "add-on" chipsets!

Sorry to revive a year-old thread but there is no way for the Galaxy S6 which is a sealed phone with a glass back to accept a "CHIPSET" to activate S-View capability. I have an S5 which I no longer use and an S6 which I've had for nearly a year. The S5 with the OEM inductive charging back included the S-View chip (although the back didn't have the cover attached). The S6 which is a sealed phone with no removable back cover, does not allow installation of add-on chipsets.
I think your mobile may get scratches on screen if you don't use screen guard.
If its anything like lg quik circle case it works of magnets
There are no magnets that hold the cover shut, but it stays shut by itself most if the time. When the cover is installed, a menu pops up and asks you to update the accessory. It may be done with a NFC chip, but am not sure. You need a screen protector on to keep the screen scratch free

on the lgs its a small magnet in the case not to hold it shut but it trips the sensor that only displays a portion of the screen. its highly unnoticable. and again if its like lgs quite small. if it run through the nfc wouldnt it mess with the wireless charging to?
The wireless charging is not affected with the samaung and belkin pad. Somewhere I read it recognised the case by nfc, but after some more research, there are 4 small magnets in the front cover
Hi, I have a Galaxy S Relay 4g SGH-T699 with a very scratched rear camera lens cover which makes photos blurry. I am unable to find exact model specific replacement parts. Has anyone figured out which parts are compatible with this model? Is there a source of clear polycarbonate material that would serve as a good replacement lens cover? Any help and advice would be appreciated. The technique of using good quality clear tape over the lens cover works well for a short time but it quickly gets marked up so the photos are blurry again. Please help!
Dunno.
But see:

Maybe you could upgrade to a newer device. If you want a keyboard, you could choose a used BlackBerry Priv. Or you could buy some random new device, plus a keyboard case or a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Please let us know what you end up doing in the end.
Hi all, i was wondering if anyone knows how to safely remove the camera covering glass without taking off the ceramic back. Had the phone in my pocket while go karting and now have like a surface graze.
