The S4 View Cover (what is known here as a flip cover in the title) has experienced a significant improvement in all respects. I have it in white. It's more of a pretty gray and white. The front side shines perlmutartig. The reverse side is the same as the replaced battery cover, so do not grip.
My Cover closes perfectly. Nothing stands tall.
The edge is no longer rubberized and can not be solved within a few weeks. There is no edge. The feel is good and the S4 does not slip so easily from the hand.
The display goes to open the cover automatically and zuverlässing on and off. Even the folding does not irritate the S4.
If you flipped the cover, this is still a flatterer. Is not superior and seems somehow uncomfortable.
The volume keys can still operate. You have to know where they are, because they are hidden.
BRILLIANT 1: The camera is through the window after turning down further utilizable! This has my knowledge, absolutely no folding cover on the market.
BRILLIANT 2: The window of course. See the most important information and answer calls without the cover to open DOES perfectly. Use with gloves I have not tested. With the on / off button, the display can be activated manually switched.
Small minus: The gesture to activate the short-term display of key information no longer works because the sensor (front camera?) Is obscured. Can one here but with a punch change determines the state. The notification light is not visible.
CONCLUSION: Samsung has had a brilliant idea and very well done here. I can highly recommend this product. At few more colors were still good. But surely come later.
UPDATE: After more three weeks cover still looks like new. Marks can be removed easily. Every now and then the window should be cleaned. I am still very satisfied with the purchase.
