Decent cover but comes at a premium

My personal experience with the S view cover after a week's usage (most points have already been made many a times):

* Purchased the cover for USD $50 in New Zealand.

* Initially, the cover did not close properly, this has improved with the case closing properly almost every time.

* The new features are great (in particular access to camera and action memo), and extensive when compared to the s-view S4 cover.

* Photos taken in the S view cover mode have a resolution of 3096 x 3096

* The cover screen can be operated both by hand or s-pen.

Pricing is premium (6% of the cost of the phone) but Samsung accessories across the board are generally quite expensive. The cover though is pretty much an exclusive product offering.

I think just like the S-pen is a must have accessory and is included with the phone, cases like this should be included out of the box and customers shouldn't have to shell out so much money separately.

If you're deciding whether to go for it or not, factor in the extra cost of the case versus any other alternative case and the additional features you will be getting. I personally think ability to jot down quick notes or snap a photo, along with access to music player, weather display, step count, message alert, call receiving are enough over a traditional flip cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
I could be wrong but I think the high price for Samsung original accessories is so they can be included in promotions. Sounds better if you get a $60 freebie than a $4 which is probably the manufacturing cost.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Rippley05:
The case is a huge ripoff and samsung makes a ton selling accessories for grossly inflated prices because people will buy it. The case doesn't add functionality, it's already there on the phone. The case allows access to it. I'm not sure why such a wildly successful company feels the need to completely rip people off on accessories

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ssreloadxda:
The ripoff is a point of view... Indeed, the price is high, but the feel is over the usual cases.

Anyway I think that Samsung is going on Apple way with top models. High prices for phones, high for accessories. But they need some premim materials too. Maybe the next generation (I fool myself this way since the galaxy s3...)

No the S-View cases from samsung are cheap. I actually think it feels cheaper than the not-even-real-fake-leather stock back of the Note 3. One of the reasons I took mine back.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smileysjm:
If I purchased these covers, won't the notification area (LED) be covered?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CaponeG803:
Yes it will be, however the notifications will be present on the outside screen on the cover will the cover is closed, personally the smart case works for me.

Thatz what they said, but read somewhere in this forum that it isn't. So holding back.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] needhelp11:
Hey guys,

I just want to ask you if the S view cover is compatible with a screen glass tempered protector 0,4/0,3mm ? Will it close correctly ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Schloot:
It should be fine. The sensor will register the case as closed when the cover is 1/2 inch away from the phone. I can easily stack 2 sheets of paper inside the case and it closes and operated normally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DDRFAN:
It works fine, I'm currently using this combo.

How does the closing "improve?" automatically?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] needhelp11:
Ok, thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
The Qi Receiver uses some of the pins that the S-view Cover uses, unfortunately, so they don't work simultaneously. I haven't gotten them to work together, though I haven't given it much effort either. Let me know if you figure out how to do it!

I'm using S View flip cover for my note 3 without any screen protector. My phone sometimes automatically turns off while I'm browsing. It seems like the sensor has been covered. I wonder if my S view cover faulty. Any one has any idea?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vandals01:
The s-view function is operated by:

1. A magnetic sensor located in the actual phone (roughly where the Phone icon is).

2. A magnet in the front S-view cover.

As well as an ID chip (in the back) which tells the phone you are using an Official Samsung product.

In the event that a magnet is placed near the sensor, e.g: if you flip the cover to its back and press onto it. It would put the phone into S-view mode.

is there any solution to make fake flipcovers working with note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I just received this one

YESOO™ Smart View PU Leather Flip Case With IC-Chip For Auto ... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GFUW8PY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_.UFLsb14VY33A

And all sview functions are working fine, pretty decent quality though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neoKushan:
Haha, well, there's a good question! I received this yesterday and had an immediate problem - the S-view WORKS but the magnet in the cover is too strong, so when you flip the cover over, the S-view comes on and makes the phone unusable. I immediately emailed Boxytech and to their credit, they responded quite quickly saying that there were quality control issues with some S-view cases and assured me that it is indeed legitimate. Either way they're going to send me a new case.

They also asked me to send them some pics, so I've uploaded them here for you all as well:

http://imgur.com/a/cUOQ1

You'll notice that one of the threads is a bit loose on the back, so definitely QC issues, legit or not.

Unfortunately, I don't have a legit S-view case to compare it to.

I had a cheap one before they released the chip version, the quality is rubbish and I can't operate it through the S-view window.

Auto wake function not working

Hi there,

just bought one Yesoo view cover for my N9005 and the Auto wake function is not working.

I was using Omega Droid ROM, thought that this could be the problem, than flashed the Pre-Root Stock Rom and it still doesn't work.

Did you have to make something to make it work or it happened right out of the box?

hey guys

I have an issue,I bought one case at 20$ from ebay,very similar with the original one,all good and smooth,but the s view function works just 10 min,after that I need to take it off,put it again,and the same story,why? Whats wrong? Might be the pins? I have no clue,I received a full refund,but still,im curious what its wrong. Apreciate ur help. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
No clue, never heard of that before. I would suggest trying an official Samsung S-View cover, and see if you have the same issue with it. If so, then unfortunately it's your phone. If not, then it was just the knock-off case you had.

Ebay link to where you bought the faulty $20 cases?

I just received 2 of mine today - US seller, and from everything I can see it looks like a real version of the case. Was also being sold for $20 (but I think they've jacked it up now) The only thing appearing different is the packaging, as it seems to be targeted for the china market. Tested one, so far its working great for me.

I have purchased it today, will post pictures when I receive the case :highfive::cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I agree with that, there are many version available in china from B grade, to A grade and A+ grade, you need to know where to look, and what to look for.

I got a few, they all look good with a naked eye, but closely inspection the differences is the thickness, material used, the depth of the hole where the IC is placed and the most important is the version of the IC chipset used, from A6 to A13, the version determines the thickness, size and new/old.

Anyone who is interested in using the S view cover with wireless charging will need to select a certain version of the IC, and cover to get a good fit, otherwise the fit will be very tight, may not close properly and some version of the chipset are very cheaply made depending on the manufacture.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] manbatistuta:
it losens from the fold.. . allowing the front flap to settle down a lot better. after couple more weeks usage, i can safely say it works perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
I don't have nor have I ever used a knock-off S-View cover, so I can't speak on those. If the pins on the knock-off cover look identical to the official Samsung cover, then this should work with those as well.

For those who want an S-View cover and wireless charging, I can confirm that the official Samsung S-View cover and the TechMatte. that stays in my phone 24/7!! It is super thin, has the largest charge area of any Qi Receiver, AND works perfectly with the S-View cover! TechMatte leaves the pins accessible on both sides, while all others I've seen just have the Receivers accessible on the "phone" side. So to anyone wanting S-View AND wireless charging, TechMatte is the way to go!!

It's only $12.99 on Amazon too!

Here's a link - http://www.amazon.com/TechMatte-Qi-...rger-Receiver/dp/B00GMRXD9U/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

EDIT : For anyone wondering, I have a Nokia DT900 Qi charger that I use with my Note 3 and '13 Nexus 7. It works great, has never given me even a hint of a problem, and looks sezy while doing so! :) Haha. It can be bought for less than $25 on AT&T's website! Anyone who spends $15-25 on a fake knock-off Qi charger from eBay or Amazon is absolutely crazy when you can buy one that has proven to be awesome by MANY people for quite a while now!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
some of the knock off one's has the ic that is very thick, meaning you cannot close the cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
That sucks. Well that's why I said I can't speak for the knock-off covers. If anyone has the official, or one that's like it, the TechMatte Qi Receiver is amazing! I'm shocked that they are the only company who's smart enough to leave the contacts open on both sides, so that the S-View cover can be used with it!! Maybe that's why it costs $1-2 more than other Receivers. It's worth $10 more in my opinion! Having a larger charge area is great too! I no longer have to pay attention to where I set my phone on my Qi charger. It works any where in the charger, where the others have to be placed in a specific spot

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jhobert:
Do you think I can use the case with the front flap folded at the back? Im used to using 2 hands to type so having the front flap not folded at the back will make it harder to type.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
There is no problem folding the cover behind the back when typing, just beware that if you want to take a picture the quality will degrade. Once you close the cover again you need to hold it in that position for a short while before the magnetic power is stronger than the flex power in the cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jhobert:
Thanks for the info. Im still deciding if this is a good buy and will not hinder the usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
It's a good buy, but it is overpriced. If you want wireless charging etc then it might be your only choice. However-.-if you consider what you get for your money it is a rip off, I guess I'm a sucker for punishment.

This one doesn't work with the original S-View cover, because there are the connectors only at one side. And for the cover you need one with connectors at both sides.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
as long as you can find a qi receiver with 3 pin connector, you can use it, the yijieneng one is a direct back to back connection, as the receiver has the contact on both sided, with other 3 pins qi receiver, all you need is some copper tape to line up the contact with the pins and the reverse side and it works without any problems.

I have a question for you - is my S View Cover genuine?

This is how my first 100% genuine SVC looks. There was text on the front side of box (picture below)

Right now my new cover looks like on the picture below. On the front side of the box there is no text "s view cover".

Is it genuine?

Is it genuine or is it working fake?

Cheap s-view (intermittent problem)

I bought 2 of 12USD s-view covers from aliexpress.

Both of them are sometimes working some times not-working.

When I remove cover and reinstall it works for a few opens-closes, after a while sitting on its back, It starts not working.

Has anyone managed to get these "chipped" back covers to work properly?

I discovered that, when I slide bottom rigth corner of the window to left and down, it starts working :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lift off:
A question for users of genuine S-View covers: can you easily write with the S-Pen on the plastic window?

I'm asking because on my cover, the S-Pen won't "glide" on the plastic. You can feel a very high friction between the point of the S-Pen and the plastic - the kind of friction you would expect from using a rubber. It's not smooth as using it directly on the glass screen. Adding to this, I have to press really hard on the window to be able to write anything. It's pretty much unusable.

Thanks in advance for any input.
