Tried it and still does not work 100%

Exactly the same problem what I´ve got.

Written of a couple of mails to Spigen,waiting for a reply to see what they say.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dpra-V:
i agree.

lock screen or not, s-view crash.

tried several configuration, nothing seems to work.

I am a bit disappointed about this case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
I don't think its the case. Its probably Samsung's software
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] makavelisk:
I would agree with this. The sview cover I had did the samething. Especially after restarts. It would take a few minutes after restarting the phone until it started working and would randomly stop working then start up again. I don't think it's anything due to spigen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
So I got my replica case today. Anyone interested in the details and quality

If I helped hit thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
Post it up
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
So I attempted to record the video using my Canon t3i and the video turned out to be 2.9gb for a 4 minute video hahaha. I had it on the wrong setting, so I will post a video tomorrow. If you have any question let me know.

I will say the s view works amazingly
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] marcus316:
Yeah let me know cause I'm waiting on mine replica to
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chewy2314:
Just got my case

well, moved from iOS for my personal phone to the Note 3. Just received the Spigen Slim Armor View case and I have to say that I love it. Really no bulkier than any other cases for the Note 3. I am a bit concerned that the S-View screen will scratch too easily.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
I'll upload some pics to hold you over until i can record a video.

If I helped hit thanks!!

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

pros:

flat finish

hinges look strong

case looks and feels like the real deal

$7.99 price tag

cons:

s chip has to be inserted into the phone via sticky tape.

does not require battery cover removal. can not detach front cover

If I helped hit thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
Are you using the S-View with the Battery Cover on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chillout2010:
I was looking at the fake one I bought on the ali website and they used the same pictures as the original spigen website. So I expect it will look just like it because why would they bother posting those pictures knowing I could just ask for a refund because it didn't match the item description? Hard to say for sure because I haven't gotten it yet. Has anyone gotten the fake one yet?

MJC
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
One page back we have pics of what the fake one looks like. I have the genuine one and the only thing I saw was the inside of the case is different from the genuine and the home button looks bigger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
Yes, with replica case you don't need to remove the battery cover. I was upset about this but after having the case for a couple hours I realized it doesn't add much bulk if any.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Euthye:
My s4 has survived a number of face down drops and I'm sure my Spigen slim armor view is responsible for the survival it also only adds about 2/3mm to the depth and width, IMHO because of its size the Note 3 needs this case.

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

On the presumption that the case won't have a belt clip you could always hot glue yourself a belt clip to the back or use an even stronger adhesive if you can find one, this way you can dictate the dimensions of the clip.

Got a reply from them on twitter advising they are going 2 hold a poll 2 see how popular this request is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unlockingsky:
3 months later you will find a knock off version for note 3.

Umm, I think we did it you guys. Keep pushing! Lol

Keep commenting!!!! Hope Spigen makes this happen.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snowwhite007:
Really like these hope they see sense
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
I don't do Facebook, so I can't comment, but I'd be all over this case!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OrangGeeGee:
That looks like all I ever looked for in a case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] yuu.hack:
done my job. we need more spam!! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Baddawg:
I'm the same way. I want to help support but I refuse to use fb twitter and everything else related. I sent a few emails expressing my interest but if anyone has any other ideas of a way to help out, let us know
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] weirdingway:
EW I don't like that clip that keeps the clamshell shut...even in the video it looked flimsy...won't likely take that many open and closes and that thing is going to wear out
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I have to say while Spigen has been on the fence about this case. Seidio is offering something very similar and will be shipping in a couple of weeks. The Seidio Ledger with Metal Kickstand http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG your color choices of Grey or Red (Cover) with Grey body.

So while we wait for them to think about it, we now have something ELSE to think about ourselves.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] weirdingway:
NOW we're talking. This already looks better than the OP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I decided to get the red/grey combo. While I would like a Spigen Slim Armor View, they are taking too long to decide if they want to make one and frankly I want something NOW, now in a couple of months.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I found a new one also in Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F4K1TYM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Hello, neighbor. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ryttge:
It looks really nice, might be a purchase if they decide to release it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billf2b:
I too think this is great. I emailed Seidio asking if this would be compatible with any of their holsters -- unfortunately they replied that it would not be.:(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dk0r:
When opened, does the lid act as an effective substitute for a kick stand?

When opened, does the lid fold flush with the rear of the case?

If so, can the lid secure itself to the rear of the case to avoid flapping?

If so, is the device uncomfortable to hold when the lid is retained to the rear of the case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
Nice! I am use to using an Otterbox so this is easy for me. I like the genuine one but I do plan on getting a white or red one off Aliexpress soon! Thanks for the pictures you put up!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] marcus316:
Yeah I did the same thing and it better look like the photos or I'll be mad. But only $9 what can you really do it's a chance we take, and I'm not paying for the real one not now that I've seen Seidio is coming out with the Obex case for the Note 3. Now that I'll pay for the real one look it up
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chillout2010:
The replica I bought states that the rear cover needs to be removed. I don't have it yet but I'm assuming it does. I did see other replicas that didn't have that listed so I wonder if your replica is different then mine.

MJC
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lift off:
I don't understand... How does the S-View functions work, if the cover isn't removed? And there's no chip on that fake cover?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jojocommi:
Sorry for the crap photos but hope this helps:

Wallet case is bigger and much thicker:

Case vs Phone:

My now old Zenus wallet case:

So far I am loving this case but I do miss the wireless charging, hopefully the new Qi receiver I ordered will solve this problem (although I will lose NFC)

http://amzn.to/1iWbIXi

One quirk I have is that when I press the home button via the case, it sticks so when I close the door flap and add accidental pressure, it turns the phone on. Think of butt dialing, that's my current problem. Only way to solve is to push the armor button from the back of the door flap.

Also I miss my wallet slots but the added protection is worth losing the slots.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
Just so everyone knows who keeps asking about removing the battery cover or not on the knock offs, they made 2 different versions for the knock offs. One is like the real one that requires you to take the battery cover off, because it has the s-view pins built into the case. The other doesn't require you to take the back off because the case doesn't have the built in s-view pins, but the package comes with a set of pins that you have to tape inside of your phone to get the s-view to work. And as for the fakes looking like the real thing, they do to some extent. If you really looked at the pictures on the website you would see that they used 2 or 3 original spigen pics to show you some information, but all the other pics show you the knock off case. The shapes are a little different, the home button is different, where it says spigen on the side is different, the hinge is different. I could tell all of this just from looking at the pictures carefully. If you buy a knock off, you ultimately get what you pay for.

Spigen Slim Armor View :D :D :D

The White Color is matte finish with soft feel, where the Black Color is more on soft rubber feel matte finish.

Mine is White Color. ;)

Build quality is extremely awesome. Solid high quality build. Loving it! One of my favor now. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
i will say i paid $7.99 for this case but it's worth $29.99!!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Da mOnKeY:
I don´t know if its a bit of good news or not for us users here with this case and our problems,been thinking about it for a while and trying a few things to get it to work right but this morning I managed to solve the problem with my case ,I´ve been testing all day..opening/closing/switching on and off and anything else thats possible and after a whole day at work using the phone/case the S_View still works 100%

What did I do?Well after looking inside the case and the back of the phone comparing them I had a feeling that something doesn´t match up here.I placed the phone at angle in the case to see if the connecting pins match,they looked alright but at the same time a bit dodgy.I had a feeling that the connection points were a little bit off set causing a wobblely contact.In the case I placed along the right hand side of the case a few strips of paper about the same width of the case and from the bottom right to just short of the power button.I then placed my phone in the case,I noticed that it was a little tighter putting it in but it still fitted 100%.Because of the few strips of paper on the right hand side it ment that then phone itself had a slightly different postion in the case making the connection points match better.Since I did this the S-View has been working 100% all day.

I might be lucky that this works with my phone and case but if it works with you guys who have problems with S-View then it looks like it might be a problem with Spigen and their measurements of the case and were the contacts are placed.The only thing that was annoying was when I change the cases,I have a Neo Hybrid for home and use the Slim Armor View for work,was when I put it back in the Slim Armor I had to change the paper but at least it got things to work.

Like I wrote,I was lucky it worked for me,I can´t garantie that it will work for anyone else but it might be worth a try,compare your contacts,do they match?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deny_winarto:
I got scammed by spigen.. .sort of.

After they asked me to cancel the amazon order, which i did.

I ordered again from their website..

Then amazon said the order will be shipped

So i asked spigen to cancel one of my order because i don't need 2 same items

They said they would do it,

Few days ago i saw amazon listing the usps tracking number, so i thought spigen probably cancel the other order.

But to my surprise today they send me fedex tracking number,

So now i have 2 white spigen slimview armor being sent my address.

They intentionally ignored my request to cancel one of my orders.

I have filed a claim in paypal and spigen asked me to return the item.

But i refused to do it unless they provide me with the shipment cost..

This is one of my worst experience in online shopping.

No wonder so many people complained about them
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
I'll buy one from you if the price is right.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gravitonx:
Hi Guys!

I'm really interested in this case as it's actually the only one (I mean among high quality products) that possesses two features: protection + S view functionality.

But I have a question. Why is Home button available here? It's not available in the original S-view Samsung case and it doesn't work when s-view window is activated (checked on my original Samsung S-view case).

What does it do actually? works the same as the lock button? don't get why they placed it in the front panel...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chuko303:
Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
had my first "issue". the s-view function suddenly stopped working. when i pressed the power button, the normal lock screen came up through the s-view window.

tried restarting / rebooting the phone, didn't solve the problem. i had to remove the phone and place it back in the case to get the s-view functionality to work again. never happened with the s-view flip cover from samsung.

not a big issue, but don't know if it's a software issue... case issue... or if it will happen again. will update if the issue happens again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
Cause it's easier to press the home button to turn the phone on than to pick the phone up or to awkwardly press the power button.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
I've gone back to the oem S-View case (with Spigen magnet closure).

I had to continuously pull the cover off the slim armor view case because the S-View functions would stop working. At first I thought it was because I had added the Qi receiver but even after removing it kept failing.

I emailed Spigen and am waiting for a reply.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
same problem i had? for some reason my cover just had the s-view functions stop working as well.

only way to resolve it was to physically remove the phone from the cover and place it back in. a restart / reboot had no effect.

i'm seeing if it happens again and if it does, i'll get it on video... so it's documented and maybe have something to send to spigen so they can see it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] homegeek:
I just got this case and installed but am I missing something? Shouldn't there be specific S View settings under the lock screen options?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amebiasis:
Is under settings, accessories, sview cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
All the comments about the S View feature failing makes me WANT to get the Ali express one instead of the genuine Spigen. I mean, at least that way I won't have the expectation that the S View will work. I would be PISSED if I paid for the Spigen and this was happening.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Riswthefalln:
hmmm i just might get the ali express one….
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
I read a lot people mention S View Failing.

It is not, they already mention in a paper inside, wait sometimes for the chip to get recognize completely. (around 5 seconds).

At 1st mine also not working as suppose like original Samsung S View flipcover.

Just Power Off the phone (don't use restart), turn on the phone, wait for a while. Now my Spigen Slim Armor View already behave same as my original Samsung S View flipcover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Autonomy:
The Spigen website has the case for $10 cheaper than their posting on Amazon.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shorty87:
My Spigen case works perfectly with no issues at all. But, it's a little bulky for me. I'm probably gonna sell it. If anybody is interested, let me know. I have the black case and got it from Amazon and received it yesterday.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XXtremeAzzKicker:
wireless charging

Just got mine today. Wireless charging and Sview work great. I used the one suggested earlier with the pass through connections.

spigen slim armor view

few millimeters thick makes the case, because the photos look fat to fit in a pocket, so fine the mobile. Seems to have little slim ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Silberpfeil3110:
I just got mine today and I have to say, that it is brillant. It looks very well and works fine, every possibility the case should server, everything that is important is well made. It is really worth the money. For sure, the phone is now twice as thick, but I prefer a stiff case, because if I would use the leather cover, it would get ruined by the time in my car holder and with that case, there'll be no problems. An advance is also the front door, which can be detached, that could also be useful sometimes.

The only problem is, that the s view is not really constomizable which is really a pity. Using Google Music as my only music player makes it not better, because I can't use the music controls in s view with other players. ^^

But by the time, something will get developed...

I also own a SPIGEN Neo Hybrid and I would by a SPIGEN case for my next phone again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Silent Lain:
Hmm looking at these pictures it seems the notification LED isn't visible when the case is closed...that's a shame. Or is S View providing some kind notification replacement for the LED?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ivanrez:
There is not a cut out for the led indicator. No s view substitution aside from having notification reminders on and it lighting up every 10 min.

I was thinking about drilling a little hole in the front cover to pass it through.

I really like the case, ability to remove front cover was my selling point (and of course functional s view). It comes off fairly easily, but took me a good ten minutes to get it clipped back in. Might be easier after doing it a few times. The little plastic posts on the door side of the hinge look like they might have the potential to snap off if this is done on a regular basis.

I have the same intermittent s view issue. After putting into case, it works for a bit, then stops. Removing and replacing the phone from the case brings it back for a bit. From my experience so far, when it is working, if you leave the cover closed, s view seems to work fine. After you open and close the cover a few times, it stops working. This is the same for me with or without the lockscreen enabled.

My first thought was software related, something to do with wake/sleep breaking the s view process in the background. I saw a few posts back someone mentioning putting some slices of paper on right inside, lines up the pins better and resolved. That could account for opening the cover slightly moving the phone inside the case and losing contact with the pins.

I was thinking of putting a drop of solder on each of the pins on the IC board in the case. Maybe that'll give them a better contact point?

Does the IC board in the case connect to anything behind it? If they don't line up right, what about prying the IC board out and just taping it to the back of the phone in place?

*I do have the original Spigen from Amazon*
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
The only problem I am having is getting the weather info to show up. I am running Darthstalker V6 and I have the settings on but I cant seem to get it to display on the S-View? Any suggestions guys? Everything else is great!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Warrior1975:
Just received mine as well, very nice quality. I'm actually impressed. I bought it for my girl, not sure if she will use it. If not, just add it to my growing collection of Note 3 cases. My only gripe is the notification LED, I would definitely suggest drilling a hole, I use that light constantly when working. Very nice case for sure.

Now running on my second day with S-View still working 100% without problems :)

In this Youtube Video you can see the user taking the chip off from an original Samsung S-View cover then sticking it back on,behind the chip was just a bit of plastic were it was stuck on.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amebiasis:
Just got my China knockoff one in. I paid 12 bucks total and got it in about 10 business days. So far everything works perfectly, sview, cutouts, actually pretty dang good quality and the front is also detachable on this one. Here's a picture it's the blue case I'll try and do a review or upload more pictures later. I bought this case to see if I'd like this style and then sspend more on an original but so far this knock off is pretty dang nice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theorioles33:
Never been a fan of this kind of case but I ordered one to see how it is. Should come tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] homegeek:
The case is made of a hard plastic.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theorioles33:
I thought SView needed those little terminals on the inside of the case and you had to remove the battery cover on the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
They have 2 different knock offs. One that requires the back to be removed and one that doesn't. It's been discussed a few times.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amebiasis:
Just a quick review of my knock off I got. I know some people were wondering about them. All functions I've tested have worked fine so far; my IR blaster, NFC, Headphone, speaker phone, temp sensor, charger and of course S-view. This version of the case comes with the chip that you put under your faux leather case. I did had to remove the double sided sticky tape that was on it, it was foamy and prevented the connection, once removed no issue at all. So far the only things I've noticed are the cut out for the headphones are small it works fine with my normal headphones but if you have a bigger jack it might interfere, also the stock charger fits but I have 2 other cables that are to thick to fit into it. IDK if even the original has tight fittings or its because it's the China version. Spen is easy to access and volume and power buttons are very responsive. The case is really a 3 piece case a hard rubber that the actual phone sits in, the hard plastic colored case, and the sview front door. The front is removable by just lifting the hard rubber up. The case feels very sturdy and no doubt will protect the pgone. Besides the small ports the only other thing I noticed was the actual sview window was a tad big, there's about an 1/8 inch black area below the sview info and wallpaper. I just got the case today and will say it was well worth the 12 bux I spent I think it's 15 now. I'll post the link to it below if anyone is interested as well as pics below if anyone is curious how the knock off looks compared to the original. I got the blue which is a matte finish and Imo looks and feels awesome, thinking of picking up a white one now.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] makavelisk:
Looks pretty nice for that price. I can definitely tell the difference between this and thr real one. Also see that top mic hole as well as the bottom right hole is missing.

Hopeful for had a good purchase?
