I am finally taking the leap back to Samsung after being a Samsung Hater since my GS2. Have had every Htc and LG phone since. Im excited to have a phone that every accessory known to man is available.
Having ZERO experience with Sview, id like to know do case companies make Sview cases or are they propreitary to Samsung? I really liked the LG circle case, and had a leather one made by TETDED which was really cool. Thanks
The only truly leather case which works like a S View case is made by Montblanc see here http://m.montblanc.com/en-gb/produc...let-computer-case-ii-sgn4-black-s-113387.aspx
And why do you think that has the view box? There are tons of leather diary style cases. I'm looking for one with the windo
The Samsung sview is actually really nice. If you register you phone with sammy, they send you a 50% off any accessories under $50, so the sview ends up being $25. It's not leather, but still feels nice. Hit up Best Buy and pull one out of the box, see how you like it.

Obviously the case does not have a view window. I am not stupid. But it is like the S View in that it has the electronics and connectivity of the S View case and allows access to additional software. Not all S View cases have a window there is a style with LED display. If you find a leather case with the special connectors please post a link.
The official Samsung S View case is decent but flawed. If you flip the front cover open all the way around to the back cover, in order to hold it normally, you will notice that it becomes easier to accidently open the case now as the binding weakens.

I must admit I like the look of the casemate but would love some input from someone who has it
It looks like the official kick stand case is good. I ordered one together with my phone. Now waiting for them to show up
I bought the Case-Mate Barely-There.
Very pleased so far, survived its first drop on one of the corners.
I purchased a pouch style case from this website and it was way too small for the phone from G5 Online.
Anyone know where I can get a case this style which will fit the phone well?
I recently bought this case and it is really awesome..looks so cool.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLACK-S-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a10ef1c9a
Damn,i see it has now dropped $2 since i bought mine.
Personally I am going to wait and see if an extended battery turns up with a replacement back panel. No point in getting a case if one does turn up and prevents it fitting in it.
The way the camera section is raised above everything else should give room for a larger battery without making it too much thicker. I love the styling of the O3D, but I would have preferred to lose the raised section in favour of a bigger battery.
seriously don't get the original kick stand case from lg it's a piece of crap. In fact it gave my lgo3d few scratches and it just looks cheap and terrible. The kickstand does not open probably and I had to
pull like a ox to open the kick stand that i was afraid i break it. I gave up and just returned that piece of crap. it was made completely from cheap plastic and the kickstand had a terrible silvery finish like supposed to look like metal or something. Design fault as well. how am I supposed to charge and put on the kickstand? Will use as pouch with self cleaning innards for the screen

I have the original kick stand case from LG too. Very disappointed in it. How come they made that in cheap plastic and so slippery. It feels like the phone gonna drop at anytime. I'll waiting for the korean cases arrive to see if those are better. They look promissing to me.
My case mate pop with built in stand has just arrived, cleaned and fitted.
I must say very nice too not much weight to it but fits like a love the back is solid and the sides rubber.
Both me and the missus have this phone. We have tried several covers each but we just got the "wave" style cases of eBay. These are a very good fit and have a really nice "no slip" feel in the hand. They are less than £3 including postage in the UK.

Have it and it works great, fit is a 100% functional 98-99% aesthetic, a 1-2mm shift on the speaker and Camera lens opening but doesn't cover anything and doesn't interfere with them at all.
Easy to slip on and off and gives a nice grip

How "soft" is this case? I bought this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ALNACO and it is too soft: i.e. it comes off when putting it in my pocket, the sides pull away too easily. I want a case that fits very snugly and doesnt "peel" away too easily. I dont want something that slips on and off too easily.
So how does yours feel in regards to that?
I got the case mate barely there .. and I finf its coolbut its expensive though..
Guys,
Here is the quick review of the Samsung Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging Case and the Fake China S-View Case and some other cases ( Wallets and TPU)
Question?
Just wanted to put my opinion in also mate. Gotta say this is the worst case I have owned on any phone. I bought this case as I wanted to try the flip case. Firstly only get this case if you NEED a flip case. It covers the LED so only way to know if you have notifications is to turn the phone on. The edges of this case a hard and narrow, therefore holding the phone for periods becomes very uncomfortable. It also will not protect the phone if dropped, the front flip becomes slightly flexible so you will damage the corners of the phone if you drop it. Also the screen gets incredibly smudged by fingerprints unlike the actual screen. Very hard to keep clean as it has two sides to it.
Hate flip cases anyways

Yeah, The looks. I actually bought another S view (Gold color) without wireless charging
Verizonwireless.com has the charging case for $39.99 and the standard S-view for $19.99! Damn good prices considering the retail prices of these cases. Just ordered the charcoal one that has built-in charging. And no, you do not have to have an account to order. :good:

Yup that's where I ordered. The gold one looks better than I thought
Thanks for the review.
I have a fake chinese flip S-view cover for my Galaxy S4, and for the price it was simply great. the S-view worked fine, and quality was really decent.
One I'm considering buying a similar one for my new Note 4, and I think that the original OEM cases (both wireless and non-wireless ones) are simple overpriced!
I made some searches, and noticed that there are no fake chinese ones with the IC chip which enables the native S-view windows. They all have those custom badly functioning apps you have to download from chinese websites, just like you mentioned in the video.
Is there any fake flip case with a working native S-view cover??
Thanks!!
I grabbed one from Verizon for $19.99 (as mentioned above). I found the price acceptable, but wouldn't pay the full price for it. It's a nice case, but the window smudges are annoying (as others have mentioned).

$20 is not that bad for a real S view case from Verizon. I don't think any fake one works same as real Sview because of the small magnet/chip insert cost more.

2 - Gold Samsung S view case (real)
3 - a case with stand in the back (Garrco case)
4 - another simple backup case (using now ) and love it

I find it very useful I have qi wireless chargers on the desk, nightstand and car... So convenient.
And the Note 4 is so damn good looking, I just can't cover it all up with a big, bulky (ugly) case.

I don't like flip and wallet cases no matter how many I bought ( use for max 2 days). Always come back to TPU case for the convenience
Sent from the Galaxy Note 4 - Have a nice day.
I've noticed a lot of posts about cases, bumpers, etc. If you are like me, you are not a huge fan of hiding a beautiful new phone you just bought. No offence to those that like cases, I just like to enjoy the phone without any 'additions'.
I've always been a big fan of leather sleeves / pouches. They are a great way to prevent scratches and even save your phone from mild drops when you aren't using it. When you have your phone out you have a nice space to lay it on that won't get it scratched either.
So far I have seen the leather sleeve made by SENA:

I'm wondering if there are any other sleeve fans out there and if anyone else has found any sleeves / pouches that are a slim fit and of high quality?

Cheers!

Nice find. I just took a look at the site, it's too bad they don't make any full pouches without a cutout on the bottom. I don't really want any part of the phone exposed except for on the top open side of course.
How do you find it?

I'm the same way, I hate putting a case on my phones.
I bought this one for my S6 : fitBAG Black Nappa Leather.
I really like it, it's very thin with a nice material insides that helps remove fingerprints if there are any (I was quite surprised that both the front and the back don't take fingerprints easily, which goes completely against what I've seen in some reviews..) and will for sure not scratch the phone.
It's good quality, well made, and real leather.
It only has an opening on top and the phone is completely covered and won't fall off by itself, though it's not hard to remove it if you press the phone on the bottom of the pouch (it fits perfectly without being incredibly hard to put in and remove).
I hope that helps you.
I've heard very good stories about these leather pouches on Etsy. While not the cheapest, I've read they are of great quality and look good. All handmade and in case you wanna use it in combination with an extra case/bumper she'll custom make them for you. I've ordered one 2 days ago, expecting to get it next week (along with my S6 ).
I'll let you know how it is.
I got this one for myself, I am very happy with it.
Those who have the S-View case. Can it be easily used one handed?
Yeah, it can. Nice to use and, with the window, decent functionality. Just not enough protection and the window becomes a fingerprint magnet.

I am so impressed with S-view case; had no real idea what it could do when I ordered it. I was just looking for a case that really fit the design and style of the phone, and this was my fourth try among all the options out there. I was quite happy with a wallet style case I had found, but wanted to be able to see information without having to open the case all the time. This solved that and more. I love the S View and sleep/wake functions and am so impressed with how slim and compact the phone is when it's installed. I went ahead and ordered the third party magnetic clasp that is referenced frequently throughout other reviews, since I am one who likes to keep the case closed when in my purse. I found it easy to install and very effective.
Agree with jeffrohurt. S-view case is my daily case. I have several cases but always come back to the s-view.
No problems using my s view I have 4 cases and this is by far my favourite, looks and feels great.
I like s view case too, bought two for my gs6
Hey guys, so I went a little overboard and bought over 20 cases.
I also bought 5 different types of screen protectors.
Instead of trying to post over 20 photos I just put everything on video. I split it into two parts because there were too many cases.
Here's part one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYm9pe57Ej4
Here's part two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlJ0E2BeOLY
Updated with part three https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAInEO0LgLs
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the cases.
Nice video! on your part 1, can you link me where you found the "Inovate" leather case with rhe grip on the back that comes with the screen protector and stylus? Couldn't find it anywhere
Good quick reviews there. You must have spent a fortune on these! Where did you order the Captron Dual Hybrid case in Part 1? The gunmetal colour one. That looks a good contender for what I like.
Haven't watched the videos as of yet, but is it possible to give a written recommendation of a few cases, and why you recommend them, possibly links to where they were purchased?
Like to see reviews on Note 7 cases with kickstands and standing mode cover.
I currently using the Galaxy Note 7 Black S View Standing Cover case. It was hard to find right now with the brick & mortar stores. The only brick & mortar store that I found this cover right now was "Best Buy". I like lots with the S View features and standing mode. The downside is that it hides some of the Note 7 design.

I can write something up...I actually got a few more cases in and plan to do a Part 3. This one might be my favorite, it's from a brand called Myriann.
Link is HERE Here's why I like it.
1. It's a dual hybrid case but it's as THIN as a standard TPU case. Usually these cases are a little thicker because of the tpu and plastic shell but this is extremely slim.
2. I noticed with the Note 7 cases, on the left and right sides, some cases go straight down. What I mean is, the cases should dip in a little bit to account for the curve in the screen. You'll notice with the Myriann case that the sides dip in to accomodate the sides. This isn't a huge deal but when you're holding it, it makes it feel slimmer due to this "cut" in the case.
3. The texture is excellent on the back and it looks very modern.
I could write up some more stuff about the different cases but it really depends on preferences and looks. Do you want more protection or are you focused on just having minimal protection? Do you want to show off the Note design or do you mind if it gets covered with carbon fiber or leather patterns? It really depends on the preference of the user.

I may have to buy that case. Would that be your recommendation if I am looking for minimal protection? Want to show off the design of the Note 7. Really hate when cases cover up the design!
Thanks for your input, very valuable! I'm so used to otter box defender cases, but them things are so damn bulky... So I would like protection first but comfortably thin. If I can show off the phone kool but not necessary. If it had a kickstand I would be happy but it's not mandatory. Damn, I pretty much want every option in one case!

If you want minimal and to show off the phone then probably the Ringke AIR or any one of the clear generic cases I reviewed.
I would recommend the myriann because I like the carbon fiber texture on the back and it is very very SLIM for being that style of case. However, if you want to show off the Note as is, get a clear case.
BTW
GORILLA GLASS 5 IS WEAK! I only had the Note 7 for a couple days, been in a case this entire time and the back glass has a very faint scratch.
Also if you look at my other videos I put up a bunch of screen protectors. I probably spent over $100 on accessories and I can say the ZAGG/IQ Shield types suck if you want to use the Spen. I know many Note users who rarely use the pen so it won't matter but I use it daily and it just sticks and feels horrible on those screen protectors. I installed over 4 and took them all off and the tempered glass ones weren't any better because they didn't stick like they were supposed to.
