I think i am returning mine. You can't even view hangout notifications thru the drop down bar on sview
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] inco9nito99:
Which stores allow an in-person discount? Does anybody have one applicable to the S-View cover?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] inmnbob:
Went to the ATT store and they said that each store got a few in. They had 4 in MN store. Just got one.

Is there a way to take of the music app from the flip cover view and replace it with something else?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
I was told that they dropped Tmobile is because they don't offer contracts anymore therefore bestbuy has no use for them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
The T-mobile store I work @ In Colorado has them in Stock

Bought mine at the local Tmobile store as well. Very surprised at the quality of the case!:good:

I returned my white s view flip cover today. I loved it in the videos but when I got it....I don't know I just saw it getting filthy immediately. The functionality seemed limited. It dawned on me I would have to keep an extra case on me when docking my phone for navigation. Overall to much of hassle.

I originally bought it for it's looks, and for when I get those really early messages / alarm and I don't want to look at a GIANT BRIGHT SCREEN.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
I love the functionality purpose but it doesnt help when i have keys in my pocket and theres this nice window for them to attack! Oh well. I need my screen protector to come already

I wanted to buy this case, but I was unable to use "fallfun30" discount code in store.

The function with the case closed is limited.

The left is messaging.

The main screen is status and you can use cam.

The right is default music player.

Another thing doubts me is the protection. I don't think it can have protection on the sides. In addition, you may have hard time to have it completely closed if you have glass screen protector installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poisonsushi319:
im gonna return mine tomorrow as well. it makes the phone bulkier and doesnt feel as nice in the hand.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
One of the best cases I've ever had undoubtedly..

Has anyone tried to figure out what's inside the connector in the back? If there just needs to be a certain resistance between the pins, we should be able to make the Chinese knockoffs work properly too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Southern_mind:
Is it glass?? It is plastic on the S4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HughesNet:
Very hard glass like plastic

So i found one at my local at&t store and decided to try it. So far I dont think i really like it. Sometimes i fold the flap completely to the back of the phone and other times i have tried leaving it hang. As i was afraid of it's just awkward to me trying to actually use the phone. I'll give it a few more days to see if i get used to it at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Best Buy website still doesn't have them in stock an my local Best Buy still hasn't gotten any Note 3 accessories! I wanted to see one in person before buying it..

Cool, preciate it. I'll check it my local AT&T in the morning. May ride by my Sprint store while I'm out too, just to check. I doubt VZW has any cases yet, or I'd go my there too

I have only heard of at&t and a few t-mobile stores having the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheChefSLC:
I just got mine today. I got it from the primary authorized dealer for att in my area.

I rather like it thus far. However being $65, I do not believe it is completely worth it. If it wasn't for my company reimbursing me for this case, I do not think I would have bought it.

Also something that is a bit disappointing is that the Window can show and control music, but only from the Samsung music player

I'm sorry but nothing about this case is worth the price

Is the 60 case with or without the wireless charging connections?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] st3chn0:
Regarding the case I had an email come from phones 4u, Samsung have made a global recall of the case so the official cases release is later rather than sooner.

Guys if you go to T-Mobile for a case just sign in on Foursquare app and get 30% off, my case doesn't work going to return it to T-Mobile today :( I also don't like handling my phone inside this type of case but I'm sure some will and some won't.

I just got the S View Flip Cover and I love it so far.

I also got a cheap knock off S-View case that is really bad, the plastic gets scratched easily also its slippery, my new Note 3 fell cause it was slippery. So I got the S-View original case and so far so good.

Without!!!! I bought it thinking it had wireless charging.

I was in a Verizon store (Lithonia, Ga) two days ago and they had 3 different cases and some plastic film screen protectors.

Just exchanged for a working case at T Mobile, took a picture and it creates a directory in the gallery for cover pictures lol. Is it taking photos at 13 megapixels in S View mode?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Now that you mention it, it seems to take only pictures at 16:9 max. I set it at 13mp 4:3 and it reverts back to 16:9

A bug,a limitation with the case or something that we are unaware of?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
I think I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't take full pictures with the sview
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Max resolution is 3096x3096 from what I can see..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Yup, that's what I've heard as well. That's really crappy!! For $60 it should take full resolution photos AND be capable of wireless charging!!

If anyone in Manhattan is looking for the official case, the T-Mobile store at 170 Broadway has them in black and white.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
I have been really looking forward to get the orange one but More and more people are making second guess myself about this case hmmm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] physicsguymatt:
Finally bit the bullet and bought one. I've been going back and forth with my decision. I've read all the negative posts about the hassles and the positive posts about the quality. I think I'd like it for work, where I keep in in my pocket and I could slip it in and out of my pocket without grabbing it by the screen or getting it scratched. I really want the mint blue, but it seems tough enough just to find the white, black, pink and orange, the only colors I've seen for sale so far.

The clincher was when I checked it out on the Verizon wireless site (always looking for when the mint blue is coming out) and they had it in black for only $45. Done. So that makes 4 cases to switch on and off. Is this the same psychology that has my wife buying hundreds of pocketbooks?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sky314:
do they have the auto-wake sleep function?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Glen L:
Yes it does

I have seen videos of the s view screen having a third tab. For notifications. But mine doesn't have this tab and neither did the one in the Engadget review. Anyone know why this feature is missing?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
My only gripe is that the led for notifications doesn't show thru the case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] moto211:
Still wondering if anyone has taken a multimeter to the pins in the case back. If we can determine what's inside that little box that houses the pins, we might be able to make the cheap Chinese knockoffs work like the real deal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thirstypirate:
It only shows the third tab when you currently have missed notifications.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HughesNet:
Mine doesn't seem to ever. Yeah I have notification in the status bar for both gmail and samsung email but still no option for a third page to the left of the clock to see notification. Seems this feature was removed in the production release. At least for the US. I also can't seem to find what process to modify the DPI on the affect the size of that windowed view.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
If you have a lock screen ( pattern or pin or whatever, it won't show the notification tab.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HughesNet:
Hey that worked!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Girn:
I'm returning it.

Feels cheap

Very expensive for what you're getting

S view is stupid, and notification light is blocked

Hate having to hold open the cover to use the phone.

If you tilt the cover all the way to the back of the phone, overtime it won't close properly anymore due to stretching
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] side808:
it doesn't feel cheap to me. I guess the feeling is subjective. Also you knew what you were getting yourself into before you bought a portfolio type case. So my question to you is why did you buy it in the first place??? From pictures and videos you can clearly see that the only thing visible is the ear piece for taking calls and not the front facing camera or even the notification light.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] njfoses:
The case not closing all the way is annoying. I am giving it a few more days to see if it breaks in more. I always flip the case behind the phone when using it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Well it doesn't close IMMEDIATELY not at all.. If you give it one minute it will close completely again. But I have to admit that it's kind of frustrating.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 92slammer:
what was wrong with the other case? i just got one from t-mobile it the s-view isnt working
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shaungregg:
Just didn't work, all it would do is turn off and on the screen when opening and closing but no S-View features. Soon as I tried another case on it worked, seems Samsung sent out a bad batch probably why they were backordered or not available from day one.

I thought it was a top quality case and if you like a folio case it really is a great option, I think a magnet to assist in closing it would make it perfect since it will definitely start to stay open over time if you fold the front cover back often.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 92slammer:
Yea I just returned it....they didn't have another for me to try....bummer...funny thing is the sales rep tried to say it was because I had Verizon note 3 and not tmobile....lol

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Is there a Setting in the phone that needs to be changed for the screen to display in the Window? I tried an official Samsung case and a knock off, but neither worked properly. My phone acted like there wasn't even a Window Cover over the display, nothing changed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Tekara:
Check the inside of the part that covers the battery and see if both of your pins are 1. actually there 2. not broken. Those pins and the magnet on the front appear to be integral in the cover working with the phone properly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Thanks! Yea, someone just told me that in another thread. I didn't put tyke back in my phone, just pressed the front of the cover against my screen. I expected that would do it, and had no idea that the battery door played a part in the cover working as well.

Can you post a pic of this? what did you do to get it to show a different music player?

simply setting the default application for music will not work for me. I even went as far as freezing the application through TBU. Then it was just blank and would not show any music controls.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Isun:
I just picked mine up today from a Verizon store. I originally thought about waiting for the Spigen case to come out but then decided I didn't want to have a smooth case over it and would much rather one that matches the phone exactly which this does since it replaces the back cover. There's something about the texture that I like. I does seem to have limited functionality when it comes to what app widgets you can add to the S View screen but I hope that will change in the coming weeks. The only thing that worried me is that after playing a game and having the cover flipped to the back for a while it seemed like it wouldn't close. I repeated this a few times to see if it would loosen up or anything and realized that it only appears like it wont close for a short while then slowly the weight of the cover brings it down each time. You could also just flip the phone over for a few seconds then the flap stays flat but this isn't a real issue because you would most likely just put your phone back in your pocket. I think the case is great but for those who see this as a major flaw , I guess there are always the knock off cases with magnet flap closures, velcro or buttons. I think I will stick with this for a while because it adds minimal bulk to the phone and takes nothing away from it's style.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] silverbladef:
I returned mine. For a $60 case it should at least offer a good texture and a good grip. It doesn't. It doesn't feel like a premium case to me, and the functionality is really limited. I'll wait for the Watson Flip case from Incipio instead.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] inco9nito99:
Bought mine at the store and even got a 25% coupon applied. Got a matching black one and within 15mins decided it's not for me. 1.) I realized this case is meant for right-handed people - open the cover with your left hand and use the s-pen with your right. Maybe this is a conclusion I came up with, but it makes sense practically speaking. 2.) phone feels odd holding it up to your ear. The sleekness of body lines is gone and to me feels ackward. 3.) one-handed operation is deemed impossible. There is no way to use the phone for quick checks using one handed operation, only limited to s-view options.

It's going back. A glass screen cover, a home button sticker, and insurance is all I need.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Isun:
You're right it does seem like its for right handed people but as far as it feeling awkward I don't understand. The cover flips completely to the back of the case so holding it to your ear is the same as if you were just holding the phone. I used the phone to send a text with one hand with this case the same way, I just flip the cover to the back. Overall it so much less bulky than the other case they tried to sell me so I figured go with the one that still allows the phone to look sleek. I will keep my eyes open for better cases as they come. I do hope extra functionality is given to the S View window though. Are you getting the Spigen Glass?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thinkjoey:
my mistake. It was because my s-view was not working properly. Was not in official s-view mode
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sohebq:
Here in my country u cant buy original cases, you need to rely on cheap ones. I was goung to buy s view cover. I placed it but the screen didn't turn into s view mode. Trying calling to my num, still it doesnt show. I saw a video on youtube that you need to close open cover 4 5 times to turn into s view mode?

Is it like that or the cover was faulty?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thinkjoey:
does the case replace the back? Also does it have the components on the back?

If it is not a legit case then odds are it will not work at all
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sohebq:
My bad I didnt check the components at back, I guess it has. Yes it replaces back.

I bought my s view cover case at sprint yesterday. I'm having a problem though, every time I close the cover it vibrates when its on vibrate mode or makes notification sounds randomly. Anybody have this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thinkjoey:
I do not have that problem. My only issue was the phone not going into S-View mode

having it replaced today
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
I have zero issues with my s view case other than the flap doesn't stay all the way close.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thechad1215:
Nabbed one at a T-Mobile store earlier today. Guy said they're selling out about as fast as they get them in. He had just two left, and they hadn't even finished restocking them.

Anyway, I'm mostly pleased. Feels much better than the standard back (in black) and, even with the plastic window, appears it would provide a reasonable amount of protection. The window itself is much thicker and more firm than I expected. The flapping cover does make the phone that much more difficult to use one-handed however.

Biggest gripes: you can't access the notifications page if you set a lockscreen password. I guess this makes sense from a security standpoint, but still would be nice to have the option. Also, the ability to only use the default Samsung player is wretched and worse than I thought. Based on this thread, I was concerned, but thought surely once you start using another music application, the controls will switch over. Nope. If I've got Google Music going and use the S View controls, it pauses Google Music and starts up the Samsung player. Booooooo!!! Not only that, I end up with TWO sets of music controls in the Notification Bar.

I think I'll be able to get over it since I typically use headset controls anyway, but man, what a bummer. Complete waste of a feature for me.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NoFanboy:
Do the s view covers have a leathery feel back like the black Note 3 or do they have a hard plastic back like the white Note 3

Yes it gives good leathery feel. Looks clean.

Oh I didn't see your post but yeah hopefully they do. That's the only thing bothering me about this case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Alaris:
Got mine at an AT&T store with a jambox and the guy knocked it down to 20 bucks. Don't ask me why I just took the offer lol. Wasn't all that interested in an s cover but at that price why not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Scyke:
I was wondering if the people who own one flip the cover all the way back or hold it open with two hands? Does the cover crease bad?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Isun:
It does not crease for me but as a few have said, it will not shut close on it's own if you do that for a while. I am not having that issue because I just close it and put in face down for a few seconds then it stays shut like new when I turn it over. Also, as I mentioned in my previous post, it just takes a moment to go back to it's original closed position if you flip it back for a long time but thats a non issue because it will just fix itself when you put it in your pocket or do as I do and turn it face down for a few seconds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheChefSLC:
I emailed this Dev last night and he responded stating he was looking into bringing this to the Note 3 since he has had lots of requests for it already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Scyke:
That's good to know and yeah that's what I do to keep it closed
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Stuart R:
Here's another problem with these covers: they block the ability to do hands free operations. What you get is a message telling you to open the cover to use the particular function, like s voice for example.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
I have had this case for 8 days and I will say I'm much happier. I couldn't get the case to stay closed on it's own, but over time it's getting better and better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Isun:
If you are in your car or need to use the device in the hands free mode couldn't you just flip the cover to the back then the sensor will be available for gestures and all the hands free functions will be available. People seem to think that just because it's an S View cover it has to be kept closed all the time. Most phone cases don't have a cover at all, just back and side protection. The hard cases with cover protection do not offer you the ability to completely flip to the back like this one and still have a slim profile.
