I bought this today for $9 http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=5000&page=1 and I successfully registered it and the app, but the problem is if I close the flip cover completely, it unlocks my screen instead of showing the kview. The kview appears only if the case is partially opened like 5-10mm. Seems like a problem with the way it interacts with the proximity or a service. Anyone got an idea?
Since it shows the smart view when not completely closed, I can't use the smart shortcuts..
I just bought this case after reading your post. It doesn't work correct for me either, I have a feeling it's because of the magnet placement, top left corner on the front of case. I cant use the case even without the app, as if I close it while screen on, it simulates a long press of the back and menu button.
I guess this is indeed the problem! Wasted myself $9 since I bought it from another region! I need to figure out a way to remove that glass plastic.

No one?
Hi SERGIUHUSCA I have tried an OEM one and it works 100% I cant paste the link yet because of XDA policy.
And it works 100% with Samsung GS5.
Best Regards...

But the right-hand side doesn't fully click into place, so I'd be worried about it's water resistance.
I have the official samsung one and it sucks
I have bought nearly a month ago this Samsung EF-CG900BBEGWW S View Cover. In simple words, i am sure you can buy a better case.
This particular one doesn't close well in the front, so sometimes the screen goes on for excessive time. Furthermore, the acrylic window is very fragile and gets scratched easily.
The contact that makes the switch between the small (window) screen and full screen mode, which seems to be placed somewhere in the backpart of the case fails and once in a day i have to unattach and attach it back to get the function again.
Really, bad quality product, I frankly discourage anyone to buy it.
Yep I think all of the s-view covers are having issues with the front part not closing fully. Apparently it's due to lack of magnetism. Mine isn't scratching but I've only had it for 4 days. However, I'd expect it to scratch; and better that scratch than the phone itself, which is the main reason I have the case.
Don't buy this fake case!The case can brik your phone!
After i put the case on my phone in 30 minutes i feel a overheating on the phone!After that the phone doesn't recognize the sim card and reboot itself!Imediatly i take off the case ad everything came back to normal!
Is it meant to stay shut? Via. a magnet or something?
My mom just bought one and as soon as she closes the front, it pops up again (which means the screen becomes active).
Is this normal?
That's normal
Yeah I bought mine from Wally World on clearance for $5, so I basically had to buy it. It does open some though, sometimes enough to make it become active, sometimes not so much. The only thing I did, and it works, for a while atleast, is set something heavy on it (just the case, not the phone) for a couple hours.
I have an official S-View Cover and when I bought it I was thinking of buying the little magnetic clipfrom Spigen but when I put the S view cover and realized it stayed correctly closed without activating the screen, I didn't buy the clip. Howerver if your cover keeps popping up, you might wanna get it.
After using
After putting in my pocket and abusing it, lol. My case stays shut now. I did have the same problem as you at first.
I got mine from the samsung store it self and it works perfectly and nicely. That's normal for the S-View to be on active once you've closed it anyway it will turn off and put on standby after a seconds.
Hello!
I have bought a "smart" cover case with a little window in the upper right corner. When opened/closed it triggers a little home screen with a clock and a camera button. I cant find which the application is to provide that screen, i there are any settings. Is someone aware of this?
I'm currently running KangVip Ultra slim B112 and this functionality is present there.

It would be really intersting to know...

I believe the functionality is provided by /system/priv-app/Keyguard.apk
I also have the mediapad x2 with this "smartcase". how does this case trigger the clock "window" thing? is there a small magnet or rfid embedded in the case?? problem i'm having is when I fold the cover/flap behind the phone so that I can hold and use my phone, it keeps randomly trying to switch back and forth from the clock screen and then back to whatever I was doing. it seems to be triggered by proximity and alignment of the case's front flap... again though' the problem I have is the phone can somehow sense it from the back too which forces me to have to constantly keep like a one inch gap between the flap and phone body while using. I would prefer to not have the window thing at all vs. having this annoying problem. I also would just buy a different case if there were more options. but theres not even a knock-off otter box for this phone... just this wacky flap case and the super cheapo basic crap.. I would be very interested in how to turn off the clock thing permanently while keeping this case

Yes, there is small magnet activating sensor inside the phone. I have such case and, fortunately, I HAVE SOLVED problem myself. Look there for solution.

Hello, I've had this issue for about 3 months now. Insurance company wont help and phone repairs cost a lot.
Let me introduce you to the problem, my honor 8 thinks that I have one of those flip cases with a magnet on. It only shows the upper center of the screen.
There are no magnets on it/close and it doesn't matter if I do a hard reset or how I bot it.
I have no touch while it's in its frozen state.
I can't update it either because the package always fails and at this point I've tried everything to fix it, even bought a flip case to see if it will fix it...
Here's a related thread I found, but this was with a magnet close: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-screen-freezes-phone-magnet-t3702651

I bought a cheap hardcase cover with a leather like cover. So when I turn the cover all the way to the back the tablet turn off. Which I wouldn't mind. Excepet when I push the power button I can't turn it back on!!!
I need to unfold the cover in order to turn it on again. I did the following. I removed the case from the tablet and I place the tablet on top of the "top side of the cover" (it's black). This is the part that would "cover" or touch the back when I flip the cover around. And if I do this, again the tablet turns off and will not turn on again untill I lift it up. But I open up the case and place the tablet on the inside of the flip cover (it's gray part) then the tablet does not turn off. I can't find anything that is magenetized on the cover itself, so I don't know what gives.
The tablet works fine in all other circumstances and I'm afraid of just buying another cover because how do I know it won't happen again....
Any Ideas?
I would really appreciate any thoughts.
You could just disable auto on off in the Accessories settings. I doubt your case is actually non magnetic if it works like that.
Reply I solved the issue buy making to black bars (made out of carboard and the painted black) of 1 CM height and gluing them to the back of the case. The case if effectively magnetized (but I only figured it out because It say so in the description of the item that I bought) this prevented the top of the cover from touching the back of it, when flipping it and had the added bonus that I can safely store the pen and lay the tablet on the table with zero issue.
