$10 Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Flip Cover Folio Case $10

So browsing around Amazon for controllers and found this guy, I guess they're not a huge hit.
Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Flip Cover Folio Case
Looks like Black or White is available, I use the Trident Aegis but I just ordered a black one of this just to give a try.
Just wanting to let everyone know.
Thanks!

definitely a counterfeit...

I didn't think they could pull that off thru Amazon, I just purchased will let you know if I get it and if I do what it's like.
Otherwise I'm protected.

Yeah, I saw this on Amazon yesterday and was peeved because I ponied up the 60 bucks for this case at the Verizon store when I got my S4 this past weekend,

And that's still too much for those goofy cases!

I bought one and its a counterfiet its even says galaxy IV on the front instead of galaxy S4

I disagree with your opinion that the case is "goofy".. The genuine S-View cover is very nice. Adds no bulk to the phone yet protects the most vulnerable part of the phone....the screen. It can be used with the OEM Universal Multimedia dock, eliminates the lock screen and gives you the option to answer calls, etc., without having to open the cover. The more I use it, the more I like it. Got the real thing by making sure Amazon, LLC was the seller and paid about $30 with free shipping. Well worth it IMHO.

I think if it says "S IV" instead of "S 4" on the bottom of the cover or has "Samsung" at the top, its counterfeit. Someone posted a YouTube video either here or on Android Forums which showed one with a magnet so strong, it would put the phone into S-Mode when the cover was turned back on itself. Since yours did not have a magnet at all, it looks like there is more than one counterfeit model out there.

Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back

Let's try to gather a list of cases that are compatible with the wireless charging cover, since it has been confirmed to be thicker here http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/...rging-cover-review-with-samsung-charging-pad/

Like all the other wireless charging back cover samsung has on their other phones, no 3rd party manufacturer is going to mold a case for it. There's just no profit for the small population that will buy the wireless back cover.

Well.. I wouldn't call stretching the TPU rubber to extend fit, an actual form fitting case.
If you read this S4 thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333725&page=10
You can see that even to this date, there is no real 'made for wireless charging' back case available.

Well I just ordered Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case [Rev. 2] for Samsung Galaxy S5 lol
By the looks stretch can be possible with heat gun

that's why Samsung should sell their phones with wireless covers from day one with the phone to not cause this problems.they only want to make more money and make things difficult to people that wanna use protective covers.
I really wanna this cover because i want to stay with the phone with water resistance but this are the things that makes me not want to use it

With my note 3 and the genuine wireless charging back I was able to use my uag navigator. Hoping the same for the s5.

Cheers I try that and hope it works. Ideally I want to use a Candy Shell but I'm fairly certain it won't fit.
I wish Samsung had included this from the start. Now it's not worth a case makers time/money to make compatible cases.

I got a third party wireless receiver pad (which is used with the standard non wireless cover) on Amazon and my Spigen Slim fit case still fits, though there is a very slight (but almost unnoticeable) bulge where the wireless receiver is.
Currently the only cases that would work with the Samsung wireless charging cover are basic bumper type cases. Had the same issue on my Note 3.

The thing about 3rd party wireless receiver pad is that you lose your IP67 (water/dust proof), thats why most of us wants the official one

True, depending on thickness of the wireless receiver. I personally don;t intend to use my phone under water, or leave it in the glass of water next to my bed, and leave it in my pocket when in the loo, so not a big issue for me personally
Seriously though, there is very little chance that case manufacturers will make cases specifically for the S5 that has the standard wireless charging cover on (and if they do, they will be more expensive to compensate for limited demand), so if we want to use our slim fit / rugged cases AND have wireless charging, we may need to do without water / dust proof. If you do get

Or use a normal cover for a daily use. And when you arrive home that's where most of the people have their wireless pads. Switch covers. It's the only idea I think it's rubbish but yes. I agree with the statement above. The manufactures only gonna do cases for the phone that's released . Unless there was something that made the manufacturer's realise they can get a lot of money of. Doing new cases.

another way is to get wireless charging backcover and put a skin on it, but im not sure if it gona look good, because the skin is made for the normal backcover

Or use a bumper

The only way to know for sure is to try. Go to a store and see if it fits. I used a UAG navigator case on my note 3 with wireless cover just fine. On my S4 I used a tech 21 and a Spigen neo hybrid as well.

[REVIEW] Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging vs S-View Fake vs other cases

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.

Nice review ... This is mine..
http://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/03/30/samsung-galaxy-note-4-official-s-charger-qi-wireless-kit-review/

Besides those cases above in my review, I bought 4 more cases
1- a 2 layer wallet case
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

Love my S view case.
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.
To each their own...

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

Nice case, looks quite similar to the spigen case, is there any youtube videos of S6 cases that anyone could find? It would be interesting to see how it pairs up next to the Samsung S5 and see what sort of changes have been made.

Hi Friends, I will recommed you iVoler Dot View Case for Samsung Galaxy s6, Ihave bought a Dot View Case for my s5. It's simple looking when it arrives - just a soft plastic cover with holes in the front. It comes with instructions and a code to install an app on your phone that creates the dot matrix illusion on the cover. The app can be a little finicky sometimes (sometimes it will shut off on it's own and I had the screen malfunction once, but restarting my phone fixed it and I haven't had that issue yet again). DO NOT LOSE YOUR APP'S SERIAL NUMBER. Sometimes the app logs you out and you need the serial number to log back in.
I haven't gotten the weather display to work, but mine does display the time, received text messages and incoming or missed calls. The box warns that the controls may not work with thicker screen protectors; I have a shatterproof glass screen protector so I can't answer the phone without opening the top flap. I suspect with a normal screen protector this wouldn't be an issue.
The case itself is pretty nice. I got the pink and I like the color. The back of the case actually replaces the back piece of your phone and it does not have waterproofing so the water resistance of the S5 will not work with this case. It is not a hefty case and will not protect your phone if you drop it. All and all, for the price, I am pretty happy with this and I think it works pretty well.

S6 Edge+ S-View Cover

Hey guys,
I'm grabbing a gold S6 Edge+ from the Samsung Store here in Romania. They offer as courtesy a 100$ voucher for any new S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+ that you buy. The voucher can be used to buy Samsung's official accesories for the phone. I read and seen a whole lot of complaints regarding screen scratching with the regular S6 Edge clear view cover, so I am definitely staying away from that one. I will be grabbing instead a fast wireless charger and an S-View Cover. I know I may sound paranoid lol, but is the same story going to repeat with the regular S-View cover? Is anyone aware or experienced scratches on the screen with this case? The last thing that anyone would want is a brand new scratched screen for a phone that costs a leg (935 USD here, unlocked version, gold variant, 32 GB). Thanks in advance guys!

I have been using the S-View cover for a few months now, no scratches visible. I never use a screen protector either. I do take good care of my phones though.

Using Samsung official S-View for a few months and everything is fine. No scratches on the screen and good protection overall.
I hesitated when I bought it because it's the first time I choose a flip case but I'm finally very happy. I think we don't need a screen protector with this case.
