they ain't the same thing. led cover is always on as long as there are unattended notifications yet the edge screen is on only when the notification is triggered.
Plus, the edge screen is only readable from a limited angle and distance due to its size and position located on the device yet the led cover is more practical as long as it is faced up due to the icon and text size used on it for notifications.
anyways I would like to see such accessories for the most expensive samsung mobile phone ever released.

I totally know they aren't the same thing, but unless you even have the case at the right angle you wont be able to tell either... I feel like it would be redundant to have this, along with the edge, and the led notifications themselves. To much of nothing going on. Hey to each his own I guess. I dont see them making it for our phone, but who knows. Maybe someone else has the information to help you.
that is neat !
i need one to impress the chicks ! hahahaha
but it' not worth 99$ on ebay.

Considering the Edge is now the flagship of samsung considering the hw and the price any (subjectively) cool and compatible accessories should (preferably initially) released to the Edge, imo.
As for the "redundant notifications" statements; well then those who think in such way should never buy a smart watch neither coz their purpose is mainly replicating notifications to wrist.
I use the edge paired with a moto 360 and sony sbh52 and enjoy seeing the notifications everywhere.

I actually don't think the smart watch is redundant. You dont have to pull your phone out of your pocket everytime to see the time. They serve there purpose greatly and it is it's own separate entity that you actually dont have to have the phone for. Thats why I like it. I would like a smart watch actually but cant seem to cough up 300 for one. What does annoy me from time to time is all the notifications. I get the same ones on my tablet as my phone and they are both going off. Cant stand it. The led case to me is like wearing 2 smart watches with both of them doing the exact same thing side by side. One just may be displaying it using a different method. Like I said though to each his own. If you want an led cover then get one. If they ever make it.... Judging by the lack of support or accessories for this phone that is the only reason I say probably not.

Using double-negatives isn't helping your already-weak arguments for something that's incredibly low in demand. You're one of a very few people who want an LED cover, which is why it will likely never be produced. Your thinking is upside down if you believe the price of a device should dictate the extent of accessories available.

I agree stay on topic!! I often ask myself, Why do I need a 7" tab and a 5.6" phone? But heck, to each his own, needed or not. If there is a demand, then someone will make one. So keep asking, go to the manufactures website and ask there too. Get friends to ask also (Even if they don't have the phone) Who knows, they might send you a prototype free to test out and see what the reaction is.
I sent samsung an email about this, hopefully they getback to me

There is no way that will work with our phones the way it's showing... Not have out some sort of custom ROM/software. Save your money, even if it's only a few bucks.
I dont see any chips in the pictures on the inside of case. I kno the s-view cases are auppose to have a chip to activate the s-view, i assume its the same with these so check it out before you buy. I got a note 3 sview last year and it was same advertisement saying it would turn on sview but it didn't have the chip so i got the case free for false advertisement.

Whether it works or not, but why not contact the seller for further info. instead of jumped into conclusion.
You can see from the pictures that the front of the case is just a bunch of holes. Some images imply that there is some sort of LED display, but you can see the rear facing camera hole through the holes in the front of the case.
Honestly, even if they make a LED flip case for our phones I'm not sure I'd get one, unless the magnet is stronger than the one for the current flip case. I've watched too many reviews on it and the flap just falls open too easy. I want something that'll stay shut when the phone is held upside-down. Furthermore, I'd like one that could hold 3 cards in it without it affecting how far the flap closes. Just my magical Christmasland wish though, probably won't happen.

For anyone who does not mind full retail price ($149), you can purchase it direct from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/BKC-1C9USBGSTA
I am holding out for it to show up at more vendors. I suspect it will cost between $99 and $129 very quickly.
About the Samsung Keyboard (gorgeous, btw). Can you type on it and touch/pinch on the screen while it's upright? I mean, would it easily fall back? The rear support looks slippery/flimsy.

That's my only real concern also. The keyboard and case itself looks MUCH nicer than anything else on the market. I don't like cases that cover the sides of the screen (which the Samsung doesn't), and the keyboard looks larger and slimmer than any of the competitor's offerings.
Exactly and the YouTube video is crap, the thing lays flat nearly all the time...not helpful.

I have found it to actually be really quite sturdy, even on very slippery desk surfaces.
The stand itself is a quite ridged, yet has some flexability in that it wont snap under pressure.
The part of it that makes contatact with the desk or whatever is coated in a very grippy rubberized material that grips anything really sturdily.
It does not slipthats for sure.
So yea you can absolutely pinch and zoom while in laptop style angles on a desk, or leather couch.
The whole case is really thin and nicely designed, I also have the Vipertek slim leather case, and this is only very slightly thicker.
It does add quite a bit of weight to it, but its not to bad, and feels very solid.
The keyboard works pretty well, there is some quirks that I assume are related to androids implimentation of BT keyoards and hope to see addresed in ICS, but all in all I find it works pretty well.
When I bought it I was only really planning on using it when I knew I would need it for some reason, and still primarily have my tab in the Vipertek most of the time, but since I put my tab in, it has stayed in, and I don't think I will go back to my old case.
Can you flip the keyboard behind the screen and just use the screen say on your lap?

Nope, unfortunatly you cannot.
It almost goes all the way around but not quite.
That is probably one of the main drawbacks, but I have found it to be less of an issue then I thought it would be.
Thanks for the response. I use it in portrait mode a lot and don't always need the keyboard. I would definitely get this if it wasn't so expensive!

Hi
s4 some new smart feature in software and octa core processor in international version also has some smart cases & covers
to see notification maybe
or brief of some info
to work with S health & etc
http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-8900_7-10016135-5.html
Accessories showed up at the unpacked 2013
i don't really understand the smart cover, is it not just a normal cover with a slot cut out of it?
what's smart about it?
EDIT - just watched cnet explaining it. that is quite clever.
but surely the entire screen is switched on behind the cover??
also, in the videos the only way they are able to switch it to s view is by opening the case - doesn't that defeat the purpose?
not released yet but something to work with S-Health & etc
Thats a cool idea. When I first saw it I was like wtf?

The Samsung Galaxy S4 come with an AMOLED display which doesn't need additional backlight
that means that each pixels is emitting it's own light
and when the cover is on only the pixel that's displaying info is on
other pixels are told to be black so it's not using any power.... :angel:
This means that it will not turn on the entire screen like LCDs and will have better black levels

right, but anyone who's used NoLED (can find it in the market) can tell you, its not simply about how much of the screen is used or not.. its the wakelock keeping the phone from entering a deep sleep that turns your 10 day standby into a 3 hour standby..
Samsung is clever tho, so I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye. maybe its a solution to getting a notification and your pocket not bumping the screen keeping it on for an entire hour while you run...

Interested in S band and smart cover too. Hope will not be very expensive, S band shouldn't be more than $80. Also hope it's compatible with other devices and brands in case someday I will buy another product too.

All the S band and S scales are an exact copy of the Fitbit accessories which have been around for years and Fitbit announced their band in January. Seems Samsung have finished copying Apple and chosen new targets?
I am not complaining about Samsung but Fitbit have the same products available now which work with ANY android, Ios or other phone why would I buy one that only works with one of Samsung phones?
GamePad seems awesome! It'll take a huge chunk out of potential nvidia project shield sales lol. Same or better processing power, more portable, can be used as a phone. Game pad is dead before its launch.

Hey all
I for one will be waiting for this over the Note 4 (when it finally arrives in the UK) The curved screen technology really appeals, the slightly reduced battery capacity really does not bother me that much, for me its a small price for such an intriguing new feature. As the rest of the specs are pretty much identical to the Note 4, its down to who feels this new design is worthy of the wait.
Who's in? and how do other members feel about the extra screen real estate?:good:

I think I'm in your camp too. The only thing is, I have read some obscure articles claiming that this might not actually come to market for some time due to production issues and the curved glass. My contract renews in November, so hopefully we'll hear some more news before then.

My contact is up in October, but will move over to a SIM only contract until available. I can live with my faithful note 3 a little longer:highfive:
Lets hope the rumors are untrue, first time in a while I've been truly excited about an upgrade. :good:
Yep waiting on this one.... The note 4 is too close to my note 3 to be interested in it.
Waiting ... :highfive:
:good:
I'm on Verizon, living in the Greater Manchester Metroplex (actually, a little rural town but it sounds good). The odds of our corporate store having the Edge - even ONE - are dismal. So I'm going to have to order it online at 12:00:01 AM the day of release... or pre-order, whichever comes first.
I'm really hoping I can get the Edge, although one part of me is hesitant: the MODDER part of me.
How much development will there be for the Edge? Will there be sufficient quantities of stock to satisfy the demand on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon? Or will each U.S. carrier have maybe 50 of these things? Will developers even bother with it? Or will there be enough of a supply that developers will embrace it, root it, bootstrap it and create custom ROMs?
That is my question...
I'm waiting on this as well. At first, when I saw the details on the Note 4 when Samsung had their introduction, I was relieved because I knew I would save money since there was really nothing(in my opinion) worth upgrading from a Note 3 for.
But once I saw the info on the Note Edge, I was excited because I knew that I wanted to get it(and slightly disappointed because I thought I would be saving money on a phone upgrade this year.).
From what I've seen on the net, the Note 4 should launch in the United States sometime in October. Hopefully this means the Note Edge will launch in November.
The thing I really like about the Edge is that it will be very useful in multitasking since the access to app shortcuts will be on the Edge display. This will really increase productivity in my opnion. Even with the smaller sized battery, it should be fine since we can use the Edge display to check on notifications, etc. without waking the main screen.
I am still on my good 'ol Note 2. I wanted to original upgrade to the Note 4 until I saw the Note edge. Just wish they would give out some info
I have a GFlex now and impatiently waiting for the Edge!!!!
If the Note Edge is <$1000, I will definitely get it regardless of custom Roms, support, or reduced battery issue, simply because I want to do my part as to motivate Samsung in trying something new to smartphone world. Samsung took pioneer steps that no one else has taken for the good of the whole, instead of most company out there who only goes after their profit.
Only 1 question I still have regarding the Edge, and this is after watching all videos, articles of it. If we can turn on the curve screen for notification and such without turn on the main screen, then how do we plan to do so? I mean, should I press the power button? or a home button? Or whatever button? Wouldn't pressing those physical buttons turn on the main screen as well? Please someone tell me...

Yea I think that the edge would be a swipe like the note 3.
if i reach for my phone the screen lights up and tells me the time and miss calls, email etc...
so I can seen samsung making a setting for picking which screen to be active for swipe.
also I believe the power button would be map for the full screen on. And they will probably have swipe over just for the side screen. It means sense to me but let's see of they do it.
I'm thinking of getting the Note 4 when it drops since the Edge doesn't look like it'll be for sale until early next year. I'm on T-Mobile so technically I could "JUMP" after 6 months (April). Whatever phone I get, strong development support is a huge factor.

I was at the UK Samsung Experience. store at Stratford and was told the Edge is not coming to the UK as an official device release.
i'm waiting for Edge. I think if Australia release is 5th Nov, US would be before that. All carriers still have this as "coming soon". I wish Samsung was as aggressive as Apple in marketing and releases.
Just heard this will be a very limited release. Not for the UK or US.
Wanted to do this sooner however, work commitments... Not Good!

Imagine David and Goliath... David being Dot View Case... Well you get some idea.
This is a niche product, that's for sure and at that price, I expect better from Samsung. I feel like they are slowly turning into Apple with their overpriced accessories.
HTC in my view priced the Dot View Case right for what it is.
I would like to have seen better quality material. Not the same that they are using on the normal flip wallet... ITs nearly £30 more then the Normal one and £15 more than the S-View Window.
On a bright side, It does have a nice feel to it regardless. Its not flimsy, it fits fine. It reacts as its supposed to and is great for telling when something is going on.
It has passive and active notification systems. When you get a phone call, it'll tell you. When you have a Facebook / Whatsapp etc, 4 little lights will move about every 20 seconds or so....
I think its great for the aesthetics. Nothing more. I wish I could have shown you how it works but for your benefit, I have included 2 videos.
My own review below; & A video showing it in action.
Final Thoughts;
I would Say 7/10. Its official, it works nicely. However for what it is, I would have wanted to pay less...

I'm excited to know your thoughts. I have the s view case...love the feel but hate the window..wanted the classic but apparently not offered in the US?? so this is my next best option...honestly don't care much for the features but rather the innovation and professional look of the case...can't wait

How do you get the 4 spinning LED lights for WhatsApp ??? Mine doesn't do that !
fkofilee said:
So a few days, my LED Case turned up from Korea (Yes I had it imported due to the poor stock allowances on the Samsung Estore)
I spent £55 to get it, however had £30 in Amazon Vouchers... So technically £25 including postage. I picked the Black one... (Charcoal Gray to be technically correct)
It goes well with White in my opinion.

That is the general notification light for anything other than Calls, Emails or Messages using the stock Sammie Apps.
I have been using mine for about a week now and it's great. I have the Note 3 with S view and you can't really compare the two covers.
You buy the Led cover for only one reason: showing off. It's unique and cool and good looking, and for a product in this category you shouldn't expect to pay a fair price - of course it is over priced. Hell, here in Denmark I can buy some cheap windows phone for he same money I gave for the LED cover, and it's fine with me.
It would be awesome if some dev bothered to expand the funcionality of it though, like fx desplaying caller's name in one line etc. I really miss that and some other functionality from the S-view cover, but I will keep it on regardless because its cool.
my only problem with it: it doesn't cover the phone perfectly when closed (at least mine) even though its basically new and I didn's abuse it in any way. The flexible part of it is a bit too thin/soft and so it doesnt close perfectly and firmly and "swims" a bit, and I can only assume it will get worse with time. Anyways, my review of it is that it is a cool gadget with very low funcionality beyond the very basics, but very good wow effect.
Hi guys, I'm looking for input on my next phone. I've read through the edge vs note 4 threads but most are almost a year old so I'm looking for some updated info.
I currently have an S4 and have narrowed down my future options to the Edge and Note 4. I like the idea of having the edge screen but wondering if it's actually useful. Some comments in the old threads mentioned the lack of development for the Edge. Is that still true? I don't do anything crazy with my S4...It's rooted and I really like xposed and wanam. I haven't done ROMs or anything like that.
I guess my main question boils down to...can I root an Edge and have xposed? Is there anything else I should know about or take into account when evaluating the two phone options?
Thanks!
Note Edge is unique, one of a kind phone. It is the first and also the last of its own product line. Edge screen is very useful. The edge on s6 edge and s6 edge+ are gimmick. Retarded Media killed Note Edge. I'm so mad about that.
Development for Note Edge is basically dead. But i have no issue using my Note Edge without root or any modification.

But root works perfect on this device, so does exposed. If you're looking for roms the note 4 is better. But if you can live with stock TW I would choose Edge.

Sounds like the Edge can do everything I would need it to. Thanks for the help, guys!
If anyone else has input, I'd love to hear it.
Almost forgot, I must emphasize that I'm talking about root on F/FY device. Other versions I don't know really. Maybe someone else does?

I have Sprint, which might be the P model.
Some things I've read say that the fingerprint scanner isn't very good/accurate on either the Edge or Note 4. What has your experience been? I don't know much about that feature but one proposed solution I read said to fill multiple fingerprint slots (there are 5?) with the same finger and that greatly improves the accuracy.

I swear a lot of people these days are retarded. I love my Note Edge and I am super pissed the Media killed it. Anyways the finger print scanner works wonders for me. I actually prefer the slide method instead of pressing and holding. It just feels faster.
I saved my right and left middle finger, and my right and left thumbs and it works perfectly. You just need a slow but steady swipe. Its perfect. Seriously i am bamboozled by how much this phone din't take off but I am happy I own one.
Even when I am walking around campus and girls see it, they are all impressed by what the Edge Screen can do. If you a power user, the Note Edge is the last true great phone made for us. I am using the T Mobile version on MetroPCS
I have 915g note edge and i am very happy with it. I have rooted it and have installed xposed alongwith the custom rom. I am on 5.1.1. The casing and covers for note edge are less as compared to note 4

Does 5.1.1 bring back the camera button on the Edge Screen or is it still on the main window as it was on 5.0.1. Also are notifications back to only being on the Edge Screen or are the still popping up?
After getting feedback from you guys as well as Note 4 owners, I decided to buy the Edge. It should be here tomorrow - I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Is it tomorrow yet?!
After doing more reading, I will likely get: a spare TrendOn battery with charger, maybe a screen protector (possibly KlearKare), and a case or bumper. Case selection seems pretty limited. I use a Caseology (TPU?) on my S4 and like that it's not bulky, has moderate texture, and wasn't expensive. Are theresimilar options for the Edge? Depending on what's available, I've also thought about getting a case like that and then cutting out most of the back, leaving the leather back exposed while protecting the edges.
Not sure about cases. I only use my OEM Flip Cover. Its perfect. Also the phone with the cover makes it easy to kung fu grip the phone really strongly. Have yet to drop the phone

On the swipe... set it to swipe up. Much easier.

Yes SM-N915F or SM-N915FY
While I do love my edge, do be aware that compare to note 4 owners, you will be treated with unbound discrimination . Unfairly, cool case companies refused to make cases for this phone. Nobody wants to work on root for it. Gear vr doesn't fit. Glass screen protectors failed to be produced. Extended battery cases choices are very slim. You will be worst that a second class citizen. At least that's how I feel since I got this phone. Anyway, rant over.

same here. i actually have the Note 4 and the Note Edge. i loved my Note 4 with a passion but i appreciated the edge display and capabilities. it was gimmicky but it did have a use-- notifications without unlocking the phone, the marquee feel to it, and shortcuts to some other key functions of the phone right there without having to swipe and search my app drawer. the only drawback that I'm experiencing is that the battery life seemed to be killed with the 5.0.1 update, (not to mention i have the Verizon variant, so it took FOREVER just to even get THAT much.) i'm considering going back to my Note 4 just for this reason, but i'm searching the forums to see if there's any kind of resolution or suggestions for it. without root and any other major development for the phone, i'm kind of stuck. but i hope that you enjoy yours.
I found a solution to the battery problem.I downgraded back to KitKat from 5.0.1, thats after doing everything I can to solve the battery issues with Lollipop even with a fresh install of stock. I think il be staying for awhile with this. By the way i have SM-N915G
Sent from my SM-N915G using Tapatalk
Yeah Kit Kat will always be the only home for the Note Edge proper. Short of finding custom ROMS. Its depressing how the only phone to actually try something different and Do it pretty damn well will never ever get a sequel. This phone wows everyone I show to it. The positive response I've gotten from Apple users that wanted to buy it alone tells me that the public just was never given a chance to try it.
Also I wish there was a harder version of the Flip Case. I dropped my phone on concrete and it got a scratch and now that crack keeps spreading lol. Its still barely noticeable with normal use. But its noticeable when the screen is off. Pissed of at lack of support will never ever let this phone go until something more revolutionary comes out. Its just that damn good. Power use the edge screen like no other
True, i was about to trade my edge for Note 4. For battery,accessories, & more choices of custom ROMs but after being satisfied with KiTKat i think il hold on to this. I actually wanted to try Nexus 6P.I'll see in the future.Note 5 without sd card slot really turned me off its so difficult to say goodbye to the note series.

For me I can't. I have bad ADD so I need to have a phone that will allow me to jot down things on the fly. The Edge was the perferct answer. Cannot ever see myself use another phone without a stylus.
I just really really really really hope another manufacturer or Samsung themselves go back to being more revolutionary and market well to make another Edge phone with actually functionality. If they don't, I'l;l buy two more Note Edge when they get cheaper so I can have backups. Thats how much I love this phone. I use my phone like a computer, especially because I am in school
Actually, today, I got a date just by showing this girl I met at a school diner my phone. I used the phone as a social thing too. Samsung needs to start marketing their stuff better
