Hey all, anyone else noticed on these Samsung Flip cases, they dont stay flush to the screen, in the case of the S view cover you would think the magnet would help keep it closed but no its just a trigger for the sensor. Bit expensive for what it is given it's flawed design.
From what I hear its great once you've broken it in
s view cover is a best cover for s4
I received mine today from handtec.. it fits and close perfectly.
I like this case but only grip it totally covers the led notification and coz of dat gotta keep checking if I missed a notification :banghead:

It's a pain:silly: Samsung should flash a reminder in the s view window
Read elsewhere of someone cutting a button hole for the led :good:

Interesting. I might just bite on one of those. Even though I don't think it's actuall the official one, it's probably about the same. I have a co-worker who spent $60 on hers and I wasn't really impressed with the build quality, though I do love the concept. But to me, it seemed more like a $15 cover anyway.

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Flip Cover Folio Case (Black) if anyone wants it in uk £25 delivered pm me I just got a new case in new condition only used once.
I bought this cover, and I like it ... it's the one thing keeping me away from trying an AOSP ROM (e.g. CM 10.1) ... Don't want to lose the window functionality.
I had an official Samsung S-View cover given free when I upgraded my contract.
Like others have said, the front cover didnt stay closed flush to the screen, but after a day or so "bedding it in" it now closes perfectly.
I find the case very good, and it's great that you can answer/reject calls etc sliding across the case window itself.
There are however 2 fundamental flaws with this case:
1. There is no hole for the notification LED (as already mentioned) I was contemplating drillling a hole through it to allow for this, but wit this case on and shut, the LED notification only ever lights up to show it's charging. The LED is disabled for missed calls/sms when the case is shut! This is a huge flaw of the S4+S-View combination in my opinion.
I'm hoping a future firmware update will address this, but as the cases being sold do not have this hole, I would be extremely surprised if this is done. Perhaps this may be a mod for some clever dev to do! :good:
2. The case greatly interferes with the devices ability to use any compass app. Open up a compass app and slowly open/shut the case and you will see the compass bearing alter considerably. This puts a huge doubt over the accuracy of such apps when this case is in the open position.
could be better
It should have had the led hole from factory. but that's samsung for ya..good ideas always seem to be an afterthought.. anyway.. i just drilled a hole in mine and it seemed to do the trick. sometimes it closes too well as can be a pain to open (to grip using fingers), but still a better case then most as it doesn't add much bulk or wait to the phone.
Nice case but minimum protection
I had flip cover case on my note 1, i dropped the phone once and the case didn't helped much to protect the phone from scratches on the side. Now i have S4 with the S view cover and similar thing happened, my case opened during fall and landed on the screen... As much as i like the flip cases they offer very little protection. I have to try different case for the upcoming Note 3. Any suggestions which case can offer solid protection?

I would definitely give the Spigen Slim Armor View a try. I just got this case in black and it's totally awesome. There are many threads in here discussing this case. I would like give links to them but not sure how to do it so I would just do a search. Tons of pics and reviews as well.
Excuse my late reply, I got this phone with a free S-cover a week ago. In my opinion the case build quality is crap. I've broken the cover in and it doesn't stay closed until I had to bend the cover to create a deeper crease. Now the cover is starting to misalign and become loose. Volume button is covered also. Sides are fraying.
When I first got it, I already thought, this case was not protective at all. The cover seemed as thick as a peice of cardboard, and there is no covering or shock absorption at all around the edges or back.
A week later I went to my local Asian variety store and bought a protective case for $6. Quality was 10x than the s-view cover and I'm not even exagerating. Imediatley switched cases. Save your money. Don't buy this.
If you want to the quality of s-view cover, a makeshift credit card wrapped in cloth works just as well.
Surprisingly, I was able to price-match an Amazon price at Target. I'm enjoying it but I hope it breaks in cause the flap not closing issue is a tad inconvenient.
Has anybody modded a tpu case too accomodate the S View cover?

Samsung or ....others?? Samsung is OK, others NOT
Please specify in your infos if you are talking abount a ORIGINAL SAM S-View (arround 35$ - 55$) or a cheapo 'SUMSUMG' or any other type of cheaper S-Views (ranging from 8$ to 25$)
I had a 'fake' S-View, which didn't stay closed, added thikness to the back cover, looked like 'cardboard', and, furthermore, if you folded it open completelly to the back of the phone, it activated the magnet!! So it was really 'crappy'
I now have a real S-View, and none of the above apply!
It closes (and stays closed) perfectlly from minute 1
It's exactlly as thick as the original cover
It has a 'cleanable plastic' finish
It can be open 360º to the back without activating the magnet
So... beware of fakes. It was difficult to tell, as they 'case' them as if original, but they're definitelly LOW QUALITY.
Can you buy a case that users s view front cover? Im used to it now but want a case? ??? Thanks

This is great. I accidentally dropped my device while using the STM Cape case and it doesn't protect the bottom corners well. This looks like it will cover it up.

yeah, i know from years of dropping devices, that its only a matter of time till that happens with this device, so I am excited about this thing!
the mfg website says june 7th, so I am hoping the amazon supplier gets it sooner than the 28th; for the 60% savings,its worth waiting!!

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

thanks for posting this!:good:
Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?
Hi all,
Just FYI for you all! Don't think the case is out yet, as I've looking all over the place for it.
Looks pretty cool!

Sonivo Sneak Peak 2 - My opinion
Yes this case is available from Amazon, it’s also available from Mobile Fun which is where I bought it from.
I’ve had the case for a couple of weeks now and it’s brilliant, it does everything the genuine Samsung cases do plus more! And for a fraction of the price too!
The case has some great features, the sleep sensor is handy, initially I didn’t think this was something that was important but once I began using this case I’ve realised I hardly use the standby button on the side of my phone, which means I don’t have to fiddle around with any buttons to sleep or wake my phone. Simples!
It’s really thin too and has a nice sturdy leather texture, much better than some other cases I have seen which look flimsy like cardboard LOL the Sneak Peak 2 has that premium feel.
The stand feature is clever, one minute it’s a flip cover case, and next it’s a phone stand! Great if you use your phone to watch a lot of movies or use your phone in the landscape position.
I would highly recommend this case; it does everything you could want a phone case to do. Keeps its safe and protected, looks and feels great, has a built in stand and sleep sensor and is a lot more affordable than other cases on the market. :good:

Thank you so much for your review!
How's the corner protection on this case? and is their a window for the s-view function, or is it just simply a cut out on the cover?
Any chance you could upload some pictures?
Has anyone found a US-based seller other than mobilefun? That website only has black and white, but I'm trying to find the red one.

So far, the only thing special that I can see about this s-view-esque case is the stand feature.
Other than that, meh, there are better s-view cases out there.
I would also like to know if there is a window for the s-view function, or is it just simply a cut out on the cover? thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
Yes the cut out gives you access to the screen, so if you receive an incoming call you can swipe directly without needing to open the cover. Whats also great is you can talk without needing to open the cover because it has a cut out for the speaker on the face of the S4.
Hope this helps!
I bought the Zenus Case "Zenus Minimal Diary for Galaxy Note Edge" I love the feel and function well worth the price. it also allows easy access to the edge functions with the case closed. Just wanted to drop a review for ya
http://www.zenuscase.net/smart-phones/galaxy-note-edge/zenus-minimal-diary-for-galaxy-note4html
looks really nice and i'm tempted to get it. do you know if it has the same features as Samsung's wallet? i believe it had a magnet inside and enables some features for the edge screen.
That case is about $40 or 36 on ebay
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
no, there is no magnet function on it.
The samsung cases actually replace the back panel. They have a chip inside so it isn't so easy to replicate, at least not for a little while anyway...
The Note 3 was the same....
looks nice enough that. a bit crippling when it does not replicate the functionality of the OEM flip cover from samsung, though.
still, the original flip cover does cause some serious battery drainage (cocktail bar service). i prefer to keep my original back cover on.
the case is usually left home, unless i know i won't be gone for long.
I see a lot of people deciding on what case to buy for the S6 Edge+ and for the most part the discussion is about cases not made by Samsung. I just thought I would start a thread to discuss OEM cases and share my experiences.
This is a beautiful phone and I love to show it off, but I am not going to be able to admire it or let others do so, if it's completely wrapped up in one of the many third party (and often ugly) cases. I am not saying there aren't decent case makers out there but they just change the whole look of the phone in a bad way.
I am aware that Samsung's own cases don't offer the same rugged all encompassing protection as some of the others and if you are using your phone in an environment that puts it great risk of damage then those cases are a better option. I am talking about every day use for which the Samsung ones are perfectly good enough.
So, I have always bought a Samsung case for my Samsung phones and tablets, because they are great quality, they are a perfect fit, offer additional functions and above all they don't spoil the look of the phone. I can also say that they are likely to last a lot longer. I have sold 'used' cases on eBay that are as much as a year old, because they still look as good as new! Sure they cost more (though do shop around) but I think they are worth it.
For the S6 Edge+ I have bought 3 cases. Yes... hear me out!
The GLOSSY Cover
It snaps on to the rear of the phone, protecting the back and corners. It has colour matched corners and doesn't add any bulk to the phone.
This is my every day INDOOR case. I can rest the phone down without worrying about damage to the rear and I can handle the phone easily.
The S-VIEW Cover
Snaps easily on, protects the screen, the rear and the corners. Also as a smart cover it allows you to see vital notifications like text alerts without opening the cover. You can even receive or reject calls. It unlocks the phone if security is set to swipe or none. You can take photo's either by using a camera view through the cover itself, or you can fold it right back and use the standard camera view. It is a very slim case and again does not add bulk and allows the phone's design to still be appreciated.
This is pretty much my every day case and it looks great. I have a gold phone but bought the Black/Blue case, it gives the phone a very classy look.
The FLIP Wallet cover
As above but no screen functions. You can still talk on the phone with the cover closed and it does have a slot inside for a credit card.
Obviously I didn't need to buy this case but this is useful for when you are going out in the evening and just need the phone and a payment card. I got this at a very cheap price so I am happy to own all three!
So if you are looking for a quality case that doesn't add bulk and weight, designed to work perfectly with the phone with added functions and are not using the phone in a hazardous environment then I think you won't be disappointed with these.
.
I'm the same way, I veered away from using cases as much as possible with the Note 4, you buy this expensive premium phone and then wrap it in a clunky plastic case. The s6 edge + is just beautiful, upon buying I picked up a Ringke slim case, looks nice and adds almost no extra bulk, but just takes away what made me love the phone ... the look.
but I've always bought the sview cases with each note purchase, like you said, they are made well, fit perfect and look great. So I grabbed me an Sview wallet (very elegant and classy looking) and I'm actually waiting as we speak for the Mailman to drop it off from amazon ... I figure it's not a case I'll keep on all the time, just something for a night out. Think I'm gonna grab the official clear case or grab the official case from mobile fun that looks like the clear case, but the back isn't clear, you can match the phone, that's the best way to show off the phones look while keeping it protected I think.
Either way I find myself taking my current case off at the office or home as much as I can and just holding that cool metal hardware in my hand lol, this is def a phone that needs a case, but it almost hurts to cover it up.

What colour is your phone? I have a Platinum Gold and bought the black/blue wallet and s-view cases for it. The combination of the two colours is very classy!

Ditto. I see them all day on the cheap for the edge but cant find a good deal for edge plus. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I got the Black/Blue phone, the wallet case is premium.

I got mine on Amazon as a prime member, same with my S6 edge plus clear back case, which is my daily driver.

At this point I honestly think if your buying Samsung phones and the type that uses cases that you're doing yourself and injustice if they aren't Official Samsung cases, I've owned every Note up until the 5th (could resist the S6 Edge+ Beauty) my first ever tablet purchase was a Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Every Gear model, my wife is also a Samsung loyal, S3, S4, S5, Note 4 (currently and waiting for her upgrade to the S6 Edge +) the Note 10.1, the original Gear SmartWatch ... blah blah blah. But I dint see the value in buying an expensive Samsung case until around the Note 3, Got my first s-view and was like "wow!" the phone looked better with the case on it then off of it, and since they haven't let me down. This is how Samsung wants their devices to look and be seen, they spend a lot time and effort to make sure their brand and phone is represented to top quality.
I just recently grabbed my wife a Samsung Tab A 8" and decided I'd like to grab myself an 8" tablet as well, so I got myself an S2 8" .... love it! And keep my Note 10.1 2014 Edition on back up for when I need to bang out a rough sketch for a client. But upon getting the tablet I purchased a portfolio case off amazon for $10 it was a nice case and did the job, but I just turned this sleek incredibly thing light beautiful feeling tablet into a thick bulky brick and killed the whole attractions to it, so after a few days of constantly taking it out of the case to use it so I could feel how nice it was I decided to grab an official Samsung case for it, unbelievable difference! It keeps it so thin and just feels so solid and premium, it feels like a little book or something and the magnetic functionality of it works awesome, all within a slim good looking case, the $60 add on to the already $400 purchase was totally worth it and actually feels like the product isn't complete without the case.
Same with my S6 Edge +, I have the clear back case, which is minimalist but for what it is is very protective to the phone and looks good and compliments the already beautiful phone unlike most cases that hide or ugly a phone up, the wallet case is just a classy, functional, good looking case, like a statement pi3ce. So yeah people complain that their cases are expensive but if you care about the look of your tech as much as the tech itself it's money well spent.
Lol at least this is all my opinion.
The clear view cover is fairly minimalist, but has reduced functionality over the windowed samsung flip case. It has the side bonus of finding a way to scratch your screen as many users have reported.
I generally don't love flip cases as the flipped portion is always in the way, but I gave it a try.
Nope! As scratches started to appear here and there I know I did not cause - it came off asap.

This is bizarre. I have been using both flip cases for several months now and trust me I have looked very hard but don't see any scratches whatsoever.

I think the problem is with the clear view case scratching the side of the screen, not the wallet cases.
I had the clear view case for my Edge before I gave it for the plus, and indeed it scratched my screen, and not on the edges but in the middle..Small but visible, I'm 100% sure it was made from the case.. At first I was wondering when and how did this happened since I was very careful with it! Then I learned about the issue and it all made sense..
This is the only cover case I'm willing to put to cover this beauty, but I'm afraid to purchase it again for the plus model I have now, because of this issue I had.. Many say the issue has been fixed since Sammy was aware of it from the smaller model (despite not admitting it), but then again some people are still reporting of scratches with this model too!
So at least for now I'm keeping it with the clear gold case from Sammy to protect the back of the phone, till I find a respectable sapphire glass
