I returned my s-view to T-Mobile today and got a Tech21. The s-view features were neat but the case would not stay closed causing my Note to wake. I also felt it offered little real protection if it dropped and the lid flopped open it would be like having no case @ all. (imagine it skidding down the driveway with the s-view opening and closing)

Just got my S view case today and I am really liking it. There is nothing keeping the flap down, but I think in a drop it will be decently protected.
Also I thought it would be much more bulkier than it is. Folded back you can hardly tell it's there, other than the edges cutting your fingers
I got mine yesterday and I noticed that I on the right edge (where the stitches are) I had to run my finger across it.
It help the cover stay closed.
I feel that the S-view case needs to have more viewing options. It is very limited to accessing the camera, action memo, and music player. I also don;t like that we can only view incoming calls and text. There should be more options for other apps or at least access notification panel.

I agree, it even displays less icons in the notification bar through the window. Almost a step back from that perspective.

So I bought a case from eBay that came from Hong Kong. It arrived to today. Its a flip case that closes with a magnet but I did not know that before I bought it. Is the magnet bad for the screen or S Pen?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
It seems if the magnet is strong it could cause issues. Although the Seidio case has a magnet on the back that does not affect the screen. I think it depends on location and strength of the magnet.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
The magnet is on the right side in the middle of the case (when its flipped closed) on top of the screen. I'll take a pic of it n put it here later when I get home. How do I know if its too strong? I really like the case but I don't want the magnet to mess up the screen, S Pen or anything else in the phone
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
the strength of magnets doesn't affect the screens as much as the length of exposure. Magnets will cause a sort of dead spot for the s pen though. When you see a demo, go to a paint program and try to shade the whole screen in and you will see a circle the size of the offending magnet that won't allow itself to be colored in.
I contacted wacom, who I believe make the s pen tech and they said though magnets will cause things to not work, it won't cause any long term damage

Oh okay. So I can keep it on n it will cause a little bit of an issue with the screen but eventually go away? I was thinking of throwing the case away but idk yet
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Well here's a pic of it. Upon further inspection the magnet seems to be next to the screen, not on top of it like I originally thought. Is there still a chance it could mess up the S Pen tho?

The s-pen uses magnetism as a source of power. Introducing a magnet to the field simply disrupts the field and keeps the phone and the s-pen from resonating. Introducing a magnet will not harm the accuracy of the device. Removal of the magnet should immediately cease any inaccuracies with the s-pen. Long story short, use with confidence sir!

Common issue on the Galaxy Note 10.1 (which is the supersized version of Note II) forum with cases with magnet affecting the Wacom pen.
I had to return my case for this very reason. There was a large round dead spot where the magnet was, moved the magnet away and the spot was fine. In addition, the note 2 manual states to not use cases with magnets, so back mine went.

Im still using tat type of magnet cover..
My cast that I got from Best Buy, the one that is identical to the Surface case, affects the S pen. That small magnet affects the drawing area even though its small and on the back side. Hopefully when my Active case gets here it wont have the same issue since there is the silicon case in between.
I got my S View Cover today for my Note 3. It's really awesome and gives a premium feel. Can't we expand the notification from s view window? And, can't we wake up s view window with multi tap?

No and no.
I got the S view cover today too.
I really like the material. Much better than the stock cover, as it feels like leather.
I like the extra protection you get around the sides and reduced chance of losing the power button when it's in your pocket.
I also like how you can do a quick note, take a photo and control music through the window.
But, I've taken it off and gone back to the stock back cover after about 6 hours of use.
A few things annoyed me too much.
1. With the cover closed, you can't see the notification LED. So, I end up opening the cover every now and then to check if there are any notifications. They should have put a cut out for the LED.
2. With the cover closed, if you say "Hi galaxy" to activate SVoice, it displays a message saying you have to open the sview cover. Kind of defeats the purpose of voice activation. I never used s voice on my Note 1 or 2, but the voice activation on the Note 3 is really good for setting reminders and calendar events quickly as you think of them. I've found myself driving, or typing and I think of something and I can add a reminder or event without picking up my phone. Can't do this with the sview cover attached
3. The cover is great when you're not using the phone, but gets in the way when you are holding the phone and using it. I tried folding the cover all the way back, but it's still not comfortable as the edges are Thin and hard.
Plus, trying to use the camera with the cover on is incredibly fiddly. You can't get a good grip on the side of the phone the the volume buttons are on. If you fold the cover back so you can hold that side of the phone securely, you have to be careful not to push the cover too far out it will get in the photo.
Maybe I'll try it again next week, but those 3 issues above are things that would annoy me frequently.

If you press the power button to turn the screen on, you will see the notifications. But, if your phone is on the desk or something, you can't just looks it and know if you have notifications as the LED is covered.
You can take a photo with the cover closed, but it's smaller than the photo you can take with the cover open and you can't adjust any camera settings, so only really something you would use for a quick shot. Handy, but not the mode you would use if you have the time to open the cover and take a better photo.
I bought mine from the Samsung shop in Thailand. The other mobile shops in the mall have copy covers, but they don't activate the sview display.

Smaller resolution. It's not tiny, but not as large an image as you can take with the cover open.
[edit] I just checked, it's 3096x3096 when taking a photo with the cover closed [/edit]

Have emailed them to confirm it is fully Sview compliant and about LED cutout since photo does not show it.
Anyone used Seidio covers before? quality/experience?

HEY guys i just bought a g note 3 yesterday along with the official s-view cover.
The cover functions in the way as described, but when i fold the cover full towards the back for example i fold it when i text the phones goes in to the s-view mode (like when the cover is closed) note: the cover is still open and folded towards the back of the device.
I would like to know whether this problem is caused by the cover or the phones connectivity with the cover?
Thanks for your help in advance

I used to have a similar problem when I used that case. Instead of going into S-view mode like yours does, mine would do the opposite. When I closed the cover it would show my Home screen through the cover. It sorted itself out eventually. Not sure what causes this though. Sorry I can't really be of any help other than just wait it out, it will probably start working correctly eventually. Your not the only one who has had this kind of issue though.
You should send your cover back under warranty. It is a problem with a magnet on the bottom side of the flip, which in your case is probably too strong.
Don't hesitate, This is a known manufacture problem of a few exemplars, and does not happen in working ones.
Cheers,

My s view cover doens't stay shut in most cases. I close it and it opens again - in particular once I opened it completely. Is this normal or are the magnets not strong enough and I should have it exchanged?

Mine does this, too. Not exactly what I expected for that price. But it always closed enough so that s-view was active.

Their are no magnets to keep the case closed. The magnets are there to tell the phone when to enter/exit S-View mode. Case is a good idea, but with it not closing all the way, I took mine back. Waiting on the Spigen S-View case which has a clasp to keep the cover closed. Was just announced and has a shipment date of around the 1st of the year.
Overall does what it's supposed to do, but some annoyances with it! I wouldn't spend money on it at this present state.
DOES NOT work with most cases
Weird grid (dot matrix) on the screen.
Adhesive isn't very strong, very little pressure lifts it up.
Isn't "round" on edges
If you have any specific questions let me know, I'll post specific pictures if you'd like; but here's a few showing the annoyances
I'll upload images here
Can you still see the dots when you turn on the screen?

It's been overcast & gloomy, so I didn't notice it until today when the sun was out; only can see it at a certain angle; definitely wouldn't recommend this protector in this form.
I've owned TechMatte screen protectors on pretty much every device I've owned over the last 2 years and have yet to be disappointed until this protector.
I got this as part of the free promo on here. I've noticed some good and bad
PROs:
1) Does cover entire screen
2) No halo effect
3) Cutouts do fit correctly to FFC, sensor, earpiece and buttons
4) Comes with all the proper install materials
5) Fit fine with my case.
CONs:
1) Odd dot-matrix effect. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that the screen doesn't seem to "attach" like most tempered glass protectors.
2) Fingerprint resistance is not as good as typical TechMatte items I've bought.
3) Cover for the home button does seem to cause a bit of disturbance with EASE of fingerprint sensor use. It still works, but it does seem to "miss" more
4) Biggest and most disappointingly: It interferes with the swipe down for notifications. I find I have to use WAY more pressure to pull down the notification section. Also am noticing an alarming number of "missed" letters when I am typing now.
It looks great and applies well, but I would have to agree with the OP that I wouldn't buy this in it's current state.
Worst thing for me is that I had to pitch the screen protector I had on it that while it wasn't edge to edge, it was responsive and didn't inhibit anything. Now I have to pay another $9 to get another one shipped to me, as I can't deal with retyping everything I input 3 times to correct for missed key strokes.
Take a look at this one. I just ordered it cuz someone posted this on one of the forums. It looks pretty decent.

It's been a while since I've posted on XDA... Found this ROXFIT PRO TOUCH case.... Premium Quality... I just checked the link and it's currently out of stock... Keep checking and get this case! You'll love it!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XD52Z7G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ROXFIT Cover is back on Amazon with limited stock, hurry and order yours. I have to be honest tho, you'll love the look but it'll take ya a couple of weeks to get use to the case but I promise once you get use to the case, you'll love it! Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
Bought this case 2 weeks ago. Very good build quality. The semi-transparent, touch sensitive cover doubles up as a brilliant privacy filter/anti glare filter. When viewing messages or other text through the cover, you can only see what it says if your face is within 2-3 feet of the screen and *directly* in front of it. Any other angle or distance and it's super blurry. It's also very good if you need to view a notification or the time late at night during sleep hours, as it doesn't emit a glare.
Downside is that the proximity sensor doesn't always detect the cover because of the semi transparency, and as a result sometimes the screen is still on during a phonecall and buttons can be pushed accidentally. I have already gotten comfortable with this though and with unnoticed adjustment I now no longer have any issues with this particular problem.
One last thing, the plastic on the back is a fingerprint magnet. If you pride in your phones current shimmer/shineyness, this case quickly turns it into an intrinsic artwork of pinky marks.
Seems fragile
I just recived mine and I am very disapointed about the quality, I want to be optimistic, but I fear the front "semi-transparent" part will be very fragile (as in the HTC dot view of the One M9).
So does anyone who had it for a longer time could reassure me on the quality of the product, or tell me right away if it's of poor quality ?
Thank you for your answers :good:
PS : is it dangerous to turn the front part all the way to the back ? will it tear the plastic junction down or is it possible ?

Can we set the phone to do different things when opening the flap ? Like on the official case for the xz? and what about the automatic brightness? does the sensor turn the brightness down when you close the flap?

yes kinda
So, is there any kind of feature that keeps the transparent flap closed (as opposed to letting it flap around freely)? The huge problem with the official XZ style cover was that the flap was flapping freely. If one kept the phone magnetically attached to car's dashboard, the flap would constantly flap open and closed as the car accelerated and decelerated. That effectively made that cover unusable. Is this problem fixed in Roxfit cover?
