I brought an s view cover just an hour ago. tt bought it from the same Shop I gotta phone so received a 140 RMB discount. However it was So RMB Cheaper in the other Samsung shop originally. No sign of wireless chargers and the staff didn't think they were even Samsung products?

I like the cover, look and feel and adds very little bulk. Auto-open saves swiping which is nice.

So far the only downside is with auto-brightness. tt am using Lux (much better than stock) but it is fooled by the cover. So Sviiw is very dim, and when you open it stays dim. I win find a solution, Just annoying.

From reading some of this thread l have changed SMS settings to show preview but yet to test it out. Email notifications had better show with preview!

Looks like I need to stick with stock music app.

Cover camera is quite coo, taking perfect square pics. Great for adding contact photos.

They could do So Much with this screen real estate. Now ever action memo has a lot .So for example, Jott a phone number, save it (maybe in S-view) and tie a quick contact photo with cover Cam.

Pleased to see this case has NFC support.

I was impressed by stock faux leather back cover but this is a lot nicer.

flip view case

got this case together with my n9005. pretty expensive for the piece of plastic(50$). the main concern is that the front door never stays closed when you want it to be closed.i mean i always have to place my phone face down because i dont want the screen to be uncovered accidentally. If you search for Zenus cases you can see that they have some kind of lock that block the front door of the case to be opened accidentally. Not worth the money.

Sorry for my english..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kkhidr:
Thanks for the reply..so this means that I can't access anything through the S-view..or even do I have the ability to enter the pincode while the cover is closed and hence accesing some shortcuts....I promise I will try not ask anymore
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] yafa:
Not possible to enter the pin on the cover screen as far as I know and see.

Magnet Cover Wake UP Sleep Stand Case S View For Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III

This is where I got it from...same thing except cheaper :/ - I spent 13

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnet-Cove...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4613502e44

See attachments. It does have the magnetic lock thing and works quite well. Will not know how it feels and works with the phone until I get the phone next week
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fortmoney:
So it's a case? It doesn't replace the back?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
Yeah, that's my main problem with the alternatives. I want something that replaces the back just like the official cases so that no unnecessarily bulk is added.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thinkjoey:
right.

I got this one for day one purchase because I do not want to buy one at their price when I get it. I will get a discount from a friend for the one that replaces the back. Temporary protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
I bought this one on ebay. Pictures look similar to the OEM version, but I won't know for sure until I get it. As long as it's worth the $12, I'll be happy.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I noticed that its missing the wireless charging on it which is odd given that Samsung has integrated it into the back of the S-View cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
Not all of them, only for the S View Wireless cases. Though, I still doubt the authenticity of those cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
Most likely it's just a replicate of the OEM case, but it's way cheaper so it's worth a try.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hagalah:
I got exactly the same case with white color. Quality is nice. And I just found out that my galaxy note is bigger than the case.

It is nice to know that the GN3 is smaller than Note 1 but got much larger screen. Pretty amazing.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cheesekeeper:
I've bought both genuine Samsung flip covers and EBay cheapies for the Note and Note 2. In my experience the only way to tell them apart is that after a few months the genuine ones start to fall apart whereas the EBay ones held together. Seriously - happened with both phones. For the Note 2 the genuine flip cost $60, and the EBay one was $12. Don't think I'll be bothering with the genuine cases this time around.........
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jeromepearce:
Thanks, mate. Just ordered this. I like the idea of

a non-samsung case (as it will last longer);

an actual case (so I can take the note out of it when I want);

a non-rip-off price :).

It is only $2 to ship to Oz, too, or free if you want to wait a few days.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
Just ordered. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
Can't argue with that logic. I just placed an order for a green one =) The bad thing is that shipping time. I'm too spoiled by 2-day amazon prime or newegg shoprunner.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
I know what you mean by the shipping times. I ordered it just in time before I plan to go on a road. Unfortunately I ordered a blue one and thought it was going to be blue (no individual picture at the time I purchased it), but instead it's a Mint color from the pictures. Not sure why the seller said it's blue and he kept on insisting it's blue so I said whatever. If anyone wants the Mint color, PM me. Being a guy, I don't think I can rock the mint color case. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
When Samsung gave away free cases for the Note 2 on facebook I got a mint blue one and rocked it for over half a year lol. If it was somehow possible I'd trade you :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sohebq:
But it conflicts with other things. Like when i use flip gesture in gallery, it detects as screen covered and turns it off. Secondly if you just by mistaken keep your hand around sensor the screen will turn off. I know this is the way app works but its annoying.

That is true. I plan to keep my cover till the price for the wireless charging cover is drop. Fingers cross couple of months.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Rippley05:
I can not believe people pay such a mind numbing high price for such a case. I'd like to try the case, but not for that ... Samsung is highly successful to the point they don't need to rip people off with a case like this as well as every accessory on their website.

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pfhortune:
I'm on the fence about this case... I have a pretty terrible generic case right now that doesn't really do anything for the screen. This case is expensive, but isn't as thick as the other folio cases out there. The SView functionality seems like a nice to have feature.

I am concerned about the case not staying closed though. Is that a pretty common thing?

I'll probably pick one up from Best Buy and return it if it is too terrible...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pfhortune:
Sorry for the double post, but this thing is TERRIBLE.

I went to Best Buy and got one of the black ones that they hadn't even gotten out on the shelves yet. Brought it home and put it on my Note, thinking, "Hmm, this isn't so bad." Left the room for a bit, came back and started reading news and things on my Note with the cover flipped backwards. Thiiiiiis is where the problem starts.

Right out of the box, it seemed to flip closed just fine. But after a few minutes of holding it flipped open, the thing just wont stay closed anymore. It will if you futz with it a little while, but there's no way I would do that with normal use. This pretty much makes the s-cover functionality useless.

I thought I might tolerate that, but decided to test the music functionality. Turns out the controls only work with Samsung's music app. Nope. No thanks.

One last observation: It feels really cheap. It doesn't even feel like good pleather, just textured plastic.

This thing was a waste of my time, going back to Best Buy tomorrow...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cooldoc007:
anyone using ROCK S VIEW COVER, can clarify if it can unlock screen while opening and whether we can pick up calls with the screen closed..??
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Blizzaa:
A week or so into using my S-view cover and:

2: It still looks nice, just the screen area can get fingerprints.

3. It's pretty water resistant. I often have it flat on the table in bars and i'm sure it sits on some spillage but no signs of that.

4. All the out-of-the-box settings work, previews, auto open etc. However it would be nice if there was more (custom widgets n backgrounds).

When I bought the case I noticed a few metal pins on the back cover. I guessed this was for NFC and wireless charging so I was quite pleased. However someone mentioned this metal needing to be there for magnets or something (detecting the cover in place or not). Anyone know about this?

The flexibility of the case is a bit hit or miss. If I have it folded back then closing it doesn't keep it shut by itself but having it closed back in your pocket, or a bit of compression at the seam will mould it back and keep it closed.

The fit is pretty sweet. Accessing the volume keys with case closed is easy enough once you get used to where they are. There are slight indentations for the Vol + - symbols so you can feel it a bit. Having said this I think it is slightly harder to get the SPen out, but if they made the holes any bigger then it would ruin the clean design a bit.

A few people have commented on it, and seem to like it. It feels of good quality and although I'd like to try out others (real leather, with money and card slot, and possibly kickstand). I saw the incipio one, which looks to add too much bulk for my liking.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
Yes, you need to carry a small rock around with you to put on the cover and keep it closed when not in use. The notifications don't show up if you are using a screen lock, the window is a fingerprint magnet front and back, the case feels like cheap plastic with hard thin edges and when you fold the window back you can take photos through it but you get part of the edge blurred and of course it blocks the flash.

I tried it for a couple of weeks but decided on a Neo Hybrid instead which is less than half the price and I'm much happier with.

Square Photos

One cool thing I like about the S-View Case is the S-View camera app takes square (1:1) images instead of the 3:2 or 16:9 images of the regular camera.

(I have my expensive camera set up to take 1:1 because I like that aspect ratio.)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Rippley05:
I'd be curious to find out, but I doubt it's the real OEM version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] williamyi:
Easiest way to find out is to check whether if there is 2 pins on the back of the casing. That 2 pins are responsible for the smart function of the casing. Others cheap replicate won't have that 2 pins

lol, that would require me buying it. I'm not doing that in order to find out.

if the S-view works on that one I guess who cares as long as it was cheap, cause the samsung original one isn't.

Bad news.

I should have known its likely a fake one as they are selling at half the RRP. I bought one nonetheless after the company confirmed the cases are genuine when i contacted them. Turned out to a very decent knock-off with a fully functioning s view window.

The packaging is exactly like the one in this thread but the case resembles that of the genuine one except the texture feels more plasticky and the stitches are less refined. Too be fair i can't be 100% sure as i have never seen a real one lol gonna ask for a refund anyway!

If you have stock samsung app notifications turned off (messaging, email, dialers, etc) you won't see s-view notifications. 3rd party apps don't seem to have a way onto the S-view screen.

I returned my S-view case. After two weeks it showed zero signs of breaking in - it wouldn't stay closed after having it open for a short time, and it added thickness to the phone with very minimal protection. I am waiting for the Spigen S-view armor case.
