Beautiful good quality case. Having read previous reviews, I was a bit concerned as some warned about fake versions. I think a lot of different cases for different model phones have been reviewed here and these warnings might not go for all cases. The case I review here is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 S-view case in gold. It is quite clearly a genuine product, with model & brand marked on both sides of the case. The back part fits perfectly in the back of the phone (replaces the existing battery cover) and holds the case perfectly in place. The material feels really nice and soft and has a lovely sheen to it. I would say the colour is pinkish gold - I think it looks great and smart,but it may be a bit girly for some. I actually wanted the gold version of the phone, but as it was about £60 more than the black version, I bought the black version. This case pretty much solves that problem for me. I was also pleasantly surprised by how well the front flip cover stays put on the screen. What others have said is true: the case does not have, and would benefit from, a magnet to hold it shut. However, I find with a light press on the front of the cover when closing it, it kind of sucks to the screen and stays there fine. The material is very supple, so the front cover folds away easily to the back when using the phone. I personally take care when placing it in a bag to wedge it in between flat things/a pocket, if you don't do that, it's possible that the case would flip open again with potential to scratch the screen. So if you prefer to be a bit rough or careless with your stuff, this case might not suit you. I think it's great how the phone responds to opening/closing the front cover by displaying the time & some info (you can customise this in the phone settings) and when you flip it open, it launches the default 'wake-up' screen as it would if you pressed the side button. I love this great quality case and I like how it protects the screen from scratching without needing a stick-on screen protector which I always think takes away some of the beauty of the super amoled screen. I personally don't have/use the cordless charging device, so I don't know whether that works with this case but I have found the battery to be more than good enough to last through a full day, so I just charge the phone via cord at night.

After a succession of faulty knock-off's from various local phone accessory merchants that all had to be returned due being faulty or just badly made, I decided to take the plunge and purchase this one in lovely teal. Although some of the reviews were very negative and stated that these are not genuine cases I decided that there were enough positive reviews to justify a £7 risk. I was being charged more than that from aforementioned dodgy outlets.Imagine my surprise when this lovely, well packaged case arrived. The box looks genuine with Samsung markings and codes on the side and upon closer inspection it immediately stood out as the best quality case I have ever purchased. It feels lovely and soft in the hand,the flip works perfectly and even the chip on the inside to activate the flip functions works well.It fitted perfectly and In the 2 weeks since I've had it I have never had to remove it to reset the chip or reactivate the functions.I don't know whether this is a genuine item or not and I don't care. This works as good as I imagine the real one to work at 1/6 of the price.It looks cool, works well and everyone who sees my phone thinks it's the latest note 4. Very pleased indeed.Also, I fitted the Spigen magnetic clip that is also excellent. Adds just the right amount of weight for it to self close and holds it firm enough when on its back.Excellent combo for £15. Looks and feels premium.

I bought this as I wanted (maybe I should say needed) to charge my phone wirelessly as the microusb cover seems very flimsy and will not last for daily opening for the lifetime of the phone, and it also acts as a cover.The really cool thing about this is that you do not need to open the cover to answer your phone, you can just drag your finger over the plastic window. The phone automatically recognises the cover, and once you open the cover the display come on.The back of the cover is raised about a millimetre above the holes for the camera lens and flash, so if you put your phone down on a flat surface then the camera lens won't get scratched. It protects the whole of your phone - front,back and as the sides of the cover are slightly longer than the phone's, it helps to protect the sides also. I am happy to use my phone with this case without putting a screen protector on it.The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is - as other people have mentioned - it has a tendency to not stay shut once it has been open. I find by turning it upside down for a while sorts it out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Additionally, it is a little tricky to adjust the volume

Gorgeous. Putting it on my phone made it instantly look like a little purse! As weird as that sounds, I basically means it makes my phone look stylish and classy. I've seen a male friend have the exact same phone case in black and it's very slick. It gives the phone great light protection (have dropped it once or twice and the phone was fine).The window is great - love the fact you can take photos through it and answer calls etc. Of course with it on it does mean you're not able to turn the screen on quickly by tapping the Home button or using the Accessibility hand motion sensor, and you need to use the side button, but besides that it does the job. It doesn't have a magnet to close the case's flap firmly,which I thought would be a disappointment, but it's actually not been an issue. It doesn't bounce up when closed, stays shut really securely and it's actually pretty convenient being able to open it up with just the flick of my wrist.However, whilst the S6's glass is mostly fingerprint proof, the plastic on the window is not. Gets dirty, very quickly and easily! Recommend buying a screen cleaner alongside this case.

After deciding "not a chance" when I saw the £45 price tag for this in Phones4U, I looked here on Amazon and found the same thing here for less than a quarter of the price!It is the official product (assuming it still is now), and works brilliantly and is a great cover for my S4.It works fine, and makes life easier when you get a phone call, being able to answer the calls without having to open the cover. It pretty much does what it says on the tin, all the features that is explained.NOTE: (This is a positive). You take the back off your S4, then replace it with this case as it is one piece, so it won't come off if you're flinging it about or drop it,as well as this it reduces the thickness that is added to the phone (as in it doesn't just add to the thickness of the phone, it uses the phones design to its advantage compared to other cases which you just add the phone cover plain over the top of the phone). To be fair, you barely notice the difference in your pocket when you've put the cover on.

This case is a fantastic, lightweight aesthetically pleasing case. The colour is exactly as in the picture (think Michael kors rose gold for you trendy people).I really like how you have to remove the back to put it on because it makes the case so versatile and slim which is a huge improvement from some of the cases of the same price.The touch screen feature works with no problems, nice little feature which gives you the necessary info quickly. I love that it's customisable and it crops the picture very nicely.I've given it 4 stars as I've yet to drop test it and I worry for how it will deal with drops as it does leave a lot of the 'high risk' areas (corners) exposed.Also,it's a shame it doesn't have a card holding feature but that's just because that's what I've been used to previously.One other small thing to note is it took a few days of wear before the front closed fully when unused - I think it was just due to the material needing to flex a bit. It closes fully now, but just be aware.

I really like this case - it is great addition to the S5 phone - having the windowed screen allows visible information even when the phone is protected. I have a screen protector as well, and even with that the touch operation through the window is easy. Opening the case and folding it back does not make it too bulky but the case needs to be placed upside-down to restore the close feature - I have solved this with the Spigen magnet set for the S-View case which is simple but worthwhile.The only issue as mentioned by others is after powering up the S5 prompts you to verify the case has been placed on the S5 securely as it becomes the phones rear cover - fitted in place of the removable backcover - this is a pain as I often need to power it off with flights and areas where phones are not allowed - but only takes a couple of seconds to confirm this x2.So 4 1/2 stars from me - not an option from Amazon - so I do 'love it' but not as yet 5/5 - after a longer test I may update this review.

I was very nearly put off buying of these cases by the number of people complaining about the fake cases on the market. Instead, I looked at the list of sellers and chose Amazon directly (not a fulfilled by Amazon third party) thinking I'd pay a pound or two extra and be relatively sure or getting the genuine article.I love it! The back replaces the one on your phone, so it's barely any thicker. It provides a few extra millimetres around the sides of the phone for drop protection, yet still provides easy access for all the function buttons. When closed, the window is leaves the camera and media player available as well as letting you read incoming text messages.Apparently Samsung designed the case simultaneously with the phone and it shows.There is real thought gone into how the case will enhance your use of the phone as well as protect it. It's a pricey bit of plastic, but as most people (like me) will be on a 2 year contract, it may prove to be a worthwhile investment.

Bought a black version of the case. Had a look at additional pictures here on Amazon to compare the case packaging to the one delivered to me. All looked genuine, though slightly different to the one pictured. Case of a good quality. The flip part is inbuilt in to a new rear cover. My phone is the I9192, so I ll be missing a DUOS sign on the rear snap on cover. Fits perfectly fine. Dropped the phone on to the table once and flip cover stopped closing perfectly. But later realized that rear cover came of a little bit taking the flip cover out of line. Snapped rear cover back on properly and everything once again fits perfectly. When closing flip bit the screen changes to the one shown in the original picture.it is possible to answer the phone call through the window in the flip part. Just slide your finger as you usually would to receive the call. I can not believe how many people receiving fake cases. I have bought mine from Amazon direct. Very happy with the case.

With this case my smart phone becomes almost as well protected as an old flip open phone. I have cracked three smart phone screens previously even with tempered glass protectors. I think that this case is going to make my S4 more durable. Galaxy S4 have enough power for me, and replaceable batteries so I want to use this phone for a while. I may get some tempered glass on there too. I wish there were more software controllability of what I can do in the small window.I wish that there were more software support for the case, so that we could customise that which is displayed in the window, and control what happens when the case is open and closed. I would like to be able to take photos with the case closed (e.g.by saying "shoot") but that does not seem to be possible because shutting the case turns the phone off. There are a couple of third party apps but one has ads and the other doesn't control case shutting functionality.

Reviewed by Sharon Thérèse Nuttall on behalf of Kindle Friends ForeverFirstly, I would like to say that KFF don't normally review products which aren't books. However, I ordered this flip cover after observing that the price was nice! I was delighted to receive this exactly how it was described and more besides. Furthermore, and extremely important for the comfort of the user, the cover closes well even after having been open for a long period of time. When it is closed, this cover offers many options. The time, date and year are shown clearly and by swiping the bottom-right-hand circle, the options one has are marvellous. You can take a pic, use the action memo, and play your song list.I would like to add that the quality of the cover is of the best quality, too!I chose the teal cover which I love, but there are a spectrum of colours for every taste. So yes, this product has lived up to my expectations. Bravo Samsung!

Very rarely write reviews, more of a reader of them. Read mostly low scoring reviews of this case and was very nearly put off buying one, particularly as is it very expensive for what it is.As to the complaints of it not shutting correctly when fitted, I have to say I had exactly that problem. Turns out it didn't close because the back hadn't clicked into place all round, which would result in front not closing. Once that was done, then lo and behold, the case closed exactly as it should do, with just the time/notifications visible.Would it offer full protection if it was dropped, well maybe not but it does offer some protection, and is very slimline so doesn't add to the bulk,as some cases do.I like the look of it, it does exactly what I want it to. The only thing that could be improved would be the cost...around the £30 mark is too expensive. Knock a tenner off that price and it would be an easier pill to swallow.

If you're not familiar with the Samsung S View cases, they fit onto the back of the phone and replace the standard back cover so it's a snug fit and also reduces the bulk of the case a little bit. Being a genuine Samsung product the quality and finish is excellent right down to the metallic surrounds around the cut-outs for the camera and LED light on the back.The additional benefit of it being a Samsung designed case is that the phone is aware when the cover is closed or opened so the screen will sleep/wake accordingly. Also, the display readjusts when the cover is closed so all your notifications and alerts will appear in the case's window.Lastly,you can swipe through the window of the front cover in order to answer calls etc so all-in-all it beats third-party cases hands down.Yes, it's white in colour but it you don't mind your phone standing out a bit this is a great price for an excellent product.

This case looks slick, lets me still see the screen, provides good protection and is a good price. I purchased the black but liked it so much I have purchased the white one too for when I am going out. Some reviewers have said this case is a fake, I’m not sure what makes it fake it has the Galaxy S5 branding, came in a Samsung box and seems to be well made and durable. The only thing I would say is that when I first purchased it didn’t stay closed which is why I think people purchase the magnetic metal clip to go with it, you don’t have to get this because my case now lays flat so I guess it just happens over time.If I was nit picking you do get a message every now and again saying check that the back cover is on properly but it doesn’t prevent you from using the phone and you can just dismiss this message. I am really pleased with this case and would definitely recommend it.
