SPG Ultra Flip View

Looks nice, but why did they leave a corner and the bottom exposed?

It's my understanding that the corner that is unprotected is that way because that is where the location of the phones antenna is. It's cutout to reduce/eliminate interference.

ooh..... wish it was cheaper but that looks like the best s view case yet!

I'd actually consider getting the white one and use it with my black phone.

I have been thinking about that exposed corner some more and I have come to the realization that that is most likely the location of the ir sensor for the TV Remote functionality.

The IR is right on top of the phone on the right side. It's the 5-6mm glossy black dot. It's not on the corner.

You beat me to it.

Some versions (Korean I think) have a TV tuner requiring a telescopic antenna. The cutout is to allow it to extend.

Okay. I don't have an s4 yet. So I was simply going off my little to no knowledge
of the hardware layout. Mere speculation.

I don't think I would have bought the phone if it had a telescoping antenna. Glad I got the ir model

The rubbish case I bought has this "feature". Here's a picture from the manufacturer site showing the antenna:

In Korea most smartphones can play live TV that's broadcasted but you need a antenna to get a signal, basically the cutout let's you extend out that antenna

Yes, all Korean smartphones have TV antennas that let you watch live TV anywhere you want.
Its called DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)
I believe Spigen will update with a international version of the case.

Clear outline from IMEI and back sticker?

I've had my N5 for 4 days now. There is a clear outline (still) of where the back clear protector and imei sticker were. Is this normal? Cos it looks bloody ugly.

I tried an iso alcohol swab, but that didn't do anything, then I tried Purell next and that worked great. Maybe the moisturizer or the aloe in the Purell helped? I'm not sure.

I've anything like your phone... When i've opened the box (sealed) there is no back cover protection, only in front......

I removed my sticker. And tried to trade my Nexus 4 at Cex and guy told me. I can't do it without the sticker. I was thinking to myself who keeps that on the of the phone if you have a bumper or riding naked?
Keep it safe somewhere lol

Try rubbing some goo gone on it, that stuff works wonders for adhesive residue.

I use this stuff all the time for removing adhesive gunk and it does, in fact, work great on almost everything. Just be careful, I don't know if it might affect the soft touch coating.

It most likely got scratched on my zipper from my coat when reaching for my inner chest pocket. Which sucks if it's that gentle I have used tooth paste in my watches before not sure if it will work.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I've got a scratch on mine as well, that's a bit worse than that. I've got no idea how it got on there.
I haven't used mine since it got scratched. I tried to buff it out with toothpaste but it only helped a little bit.
I need to try some other things, although it might just be too deep.

Screen protectors on a smartwatch are much more essential than on a smartphone, as it's really likely to scratch, even more than a normal watch glass.

Yea tried the toothpaste and worked just a little I'll just return it I mean really a zipper scratching a watch that's kind of ridiculous. Let's see if amazon takes it back since only a week old.

I know this thread is old, but my watch just got scratched when it touched the button of my shirt"s sleeve, the 2 scratces are really thin, do you thing the toothpaste thing will work, and how should I do it?

Re: sony smartwatch

Cut a small piece of used screen protector and get a hole puncher.

This puts just a bit of space between cameras to keep it from getting scratched.

FYI. Tried this methid on my screen and dramatically reduced screen brightness.

Psh, why bother when you can just..

Simply use a case with a rim around the camera and be done with it. I use the original Samsung case and didn't look back. In the picture the protective stuff is still on, removed it shortly afterwards.

Any idea why this is just hanging out on the back of the phone

My T-Mobe. Purchased Mirror Grey GM1915 does not have the IMEI number on the back of it.

I can confirm my mirror gray TMobile variant has it on the back as well. I just put a skin on it so it is not visible.

Yes, but I removed that when I got mine. The sticker is a white sticker that comes off easily enough. The sticker is not meant to be left on the device.

That was my thought as well. What is pictured does not look removable, which is not how mine came.
