Samsung flip cover

So I got a flip cover from the Samsung US website and it doesn't snap on my note. The little prongs are very short and don't even line up properly. A couple of the corners seem to snap on, but the other two don't, and the whole cover just doesn't stay on at all. Really crappy manufacturing from an original Samsung accessory. Very disappointed with Samsung on this one...

are you using this on International Note? The back cover of US model is not compatible with the International model.
And sometimes you really need to apply some pressure to snap it in place first time.

I'm using the international flip cover with the international Note and am very impressed with the quality and finish. Fits like a glove and looks exclusive too.

Personally, I don't like the booklet/diary cover type case on the Note...
In taking or dialling a call, you have to flip it all the way to the back of the phone (just for the sake of it.) For me it's kind of awkward to hold on with the flip cover being flipped at the back.
I like the flip down cover case more. No hassle, just flip it down when your going to use your Note, and flip it up again when your done using your phone.

Yes.. I agree, I got one with the note when I bought it 4 months ago, and I didn't really like how you have to fold it back to make/receive a call. I took it off and now its just sitting in my drawer and now I am using my note without any case as it just looks good without any case. I just didn't want to add any bulkiness as its already a big phone...

just bought a flip down leathercase (black), Now I'm really not feeling awkward in using my phone...
Using the flip diary cover back then was a cumbersome part really on my end to use my phone (especially in calling)... Now that I bought the flip-down leathercase....
I get the ease of use and better protection already .. all rolled into one

The Samsung flip cover is nice and thin, but I gave up on it because it does not fit in the Car Dock or the desk dock. I would like one same in concept, but flip over the top - just like the Palm Tungsten T3 I used for years.

You can dial/answer a call and then close the lid. Simple as that.

Bending the cover/lid all the way to back, is not my take of convenience... IMHO..
I would prefer the flip-down cover, where if you would use the phone (taking/receiving calls or what-nots), its just a simple way of flipping down the cover, no strain needed at all.... (as compared to the diary/booklet type where you really have to exert some force bending the face cover all the way to the back of it and hold it with with your hand).
That's just my take anyway... I guess to each its own.. whichever suits your fancy..

Why u should NOT USE that flip cover..
People I am giving you a video review of why u should NEVER USE that flip cover if u love your Galaxy Note..n after watching it u will agree with me..

We five friends took 5 notes at the same go and got the same flip cover by Samsung, free with them,
3 out of five were perfect fit, however two of them were not completely flushed with the body as described by you, they replaced both of them in a week one was a fit and one was plagued with the same issue.
The retailer told that it was a known issue with the last lot of covers that he received.(He claimed returning 16 of those covers and directing four people to service center)
So this time we were redirected to a service center where they adjusted some groves on the phone and the same cover flushed properly with the phone.
All the three notes without the issues were for guys and the other two belonged to girls LOL ha ha ha well that's a different story.
Off topic:
I am not happy with the build quality of the flip covers as its just few weeks old and the leather(or whatever it is) is already peeling from different places had to use tiny bits of super glue..........

Confused
My people out here just wanted to know if there is any difference between the SGN I7000 and the ATnt version, HW wise am asking that too not internal.
Cause the other day I saw a hard case and holster for note, it was advertised just for SGN atnt 717, but not for I7000.
So my question is will it fit both?? Or is there any difference in the contours of the phone body??
TIA

Actually the atnt version is slightly smaller than the international version, but includes 4g lte. Also the exynos processor is faster than the snapdragon processor found in the atnt version. Also, the atnt version has 4 soft touch buttons at the bottom of the screen and the international version has 2 soft touch buttons, with a physical home button between them.

The Samsung flip cover is not that bad - it gives a fairly ok rear protection to SGN and gives the phone a classy look when viewed from the front.
The only protection for my SGN i still need is a screen guard

The add-on stock Samsung Flip cover is an eye candy alright, and I agree.. it gives a classy and sleekness on the phone itself.... BUT
comfortability and usability wise... it's another case already... I totally dislike the usability of it... It is not convenient (for me) using it especially on taking or recieving calls, It is totally cumbersome and awkward to flip it all the way to the back of the phone...
My vote still goes to the flip down cover... usability and comfortability for me is my first and primary concern, and that's all that matters to me.

The flip cover has a cutout for the speaker, so you could just leave it closed while taking a call. Granted, it's still uncomfortable to use with it flipped back.

No way... I'd rather prefer having my cheek pressing on the Note's glass surface rather than the cardboard cover itself..
don't you think it's too much awkwardness already? (flipping the cover all the way to the back of the phone and now talking and pressing your cheeks on the hard cover)

Keeps the glass cleaner, IMO.

They are pretty cool, and useful. It's saved my phone a couple times so far.
Got a cool green one for flash and a black one for cash (work) lol...
And the felt backing on the flip cover continuously wipes the screen clean of all fingerprints and such

Samsung s4 mini S-view cover

So i bought the s-view cover for my s4 mini and i really like it!
Its one accesory i actually think is worth buying for 35 euro's
Only thing i miss about it is the fact that you cant customize the s-view area (yet..)
Anyone else here bought the cover? I would like to hear all your thoughts about it
cheers

ROCK Galaxy S4 mini S-View Flip Cover Folio Case
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This case's cover doesn't stay closed unless placed face-down. Same issue with the manufacturer's hard cover case with flip cover as well.

I bought it from a UK seller off eBay for the equivalent of $50...and I'm returning it. The convenience of the window is far outweighed by the annoyance of having to fold it back to hold it comfortably (and even then, still being uncomfortable for one-handed use) - which also causes it to not stay flat later as a result - as well as the fact that it makes the phone a decent amount thicker/bulkier. IMO flip covers work better for tablets, where the weight of the actual cover keeps it down, and the cover can double as a kickstand.
I ordered two slim snap-on cases in its place, and until then, I'm not having any trouble or worry using it without anything - it's such a joy to hold and keep in my pocket compared to the HTC One I had previously.

I personally am using a Mercury Goosperry flip case. It has a magnetic lock to hold the flip cover down.
They're made by a Korean company and comes in many colour combinations.

Could anyone please tell me if the S View flip cover works for the dual sim version GT-I9192 ?
I have found S View covers on ebay but they only refer to the GT-I9190 and GT-I9195 versions.

They should be the same dimensions but its at your own risk!

Will it make the phone bulky..???

Hi....

Very good quality with good protection as a case.

hey all...
I am looking for a flip cover with sview feature.
I was going to buy the original one but considering that my girlfriend (the owner of the s4 mini) is not really good in taking care of her stuff, i was looking for a way to protect also the back cover.
I mean: is there something like this: http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-flip-mate.html but made for s4 mini?
alternatively, has someone tested a reliable flip cover with sview feature that protects also the back of the phone?
Thanks in advance

When you close the case the S-View notification stays on for about 8 seconds then goes to sleep. If you want to see the time you justs squeeze the bottom over the home button then it comes back on. When you open it it goes straight to the home screen. If some one calls it comes on and displays the name.

[Q] Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Keyboard + Cover/Protector/Pouch compatibility?

Hi everyone, this is my first post, so thanks for reading!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5", and along with it I got the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard. It's great and sleek; they work really well together. However, I am still wary of scratching up the tablet since the keyboard doesn't come with a cover and only serves as a stand.
I was wondering whether there are any covers for the tablet available that would be compatible with the keyboard; AUA: the tablet will still fit in the keyboard while it has the cover/protector attached. If not, I was wondering if there are any great pouches big and snug enough to keep the tablet folded with the keyboard inside? A pouch might be nice actually since the keyboard itself was rather expensive as well, so keeping it in good condition is preferable.
I hope the answers here help others, too, because I couldn't really find any threads addressing this issue.
Here is the keyboard in question: samsung . com /us/ mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EJ-CT800UAEGUJ
Many thanks!
PS. It would be nice to have a cover/protector to complement this titanium bronze color. Not necessary though :fingers-crossed:
PPS. I know this sorta belongs in the Galaxy Tab S Accessories forum, but I was warned that posting questions there is against the rules.

There should be plenty of netbook cases fitting it.

Aw alright thanks

Hmm well if that's the only option then I guess that's alright with me. I was just hoping that there was a more eloquent solution.
I'll definitely look into it though. Thank you very much for your advice.
I hope Samsung does eventually produce a matching case or pouch for the tab + keyboard.

I have this and it protects the screen while closed (there are 4 plastic holders at the edges) or do you want the backside to be protected as well?

oh yeah it protects my screen well when it is closed. I just wanted something for the back for when I close it and carry it around. I don't want to scratch the tablet anywhere; as little as possible at least

I got the Logitech keyboard instead because it was $50 cheaper and protects both the screen and the back of the tablet. I'd suggest you return the Samsung keyboard and get the Logitech one

I have the Samsung book cover that I love but if I wanted a keyboard it would be this one. Very nice at a good price. Good find.

I have this one for a quick running out the door cover, no keyboard. One not so good feature, it's really hard to use it for a stand. Doesn't work well for that but otherwise it's super. I've got one for my Note 3 also.

Case with window and widget

I have seen that nice looking case before, with the vertical cut-out on the front. And, I have seen images where a nice looking clock widget has been used behind it.
Anybody know what that widget is? I haven't been able to identify it and the case seems pointless (to me) without it having a specific use aligned to its position like a clock/calendar.

tab s3 cases (uk)

Apologies if I have missed the grand tab S3 case thread but haven't found one. I've just splashed out in an S3 and need a case for it. Sadly origami doesn't make one for the S3. So what do people use?

Hi
Please note that if you use any case that has auto wake feature (magnets) you will get problems using the S pen, unresponsive areas on the screen,
I have not found any third party case yet that works perfectly with the S pen
it would be very easy to think the tablet has a fault with the display, when the problem is the case, if you find a good usable case, could you report back,
the only case with no problem is the official Samsung case, but this gives very little corner protection and is very expensive, then there is the Samsung keyboard case, but this has no cut out for camera, so that's also not an option for me

I have the keyboard case from Samsung. Works just fine with the S Pen. I sometimes detatch the keyboard and lay the tablet flat on the cover, and no problems with S Pen.
However this case does not have auto wake and lock feature when closing the lid. But it has instead this feature if you connect or disconnect the keyboard. So they did not forget this feature. =)
Sure no back camera, but who takes pic with tablets? Front camera more important for video chatting...

It always baffles me when you see tourists photographing with their tablets.

I thought I responded to this but perhaps not.
The Samsung keyboard case I have has the cutout for the back camera.
What issues have you had with the S-Pen and magnets? I have another case I use 70% of the time that has magnets and have no issues with the S-Pen.
