But: The protective cover is great. I already had the previous model for the S3; and have subsequently complimented me again and again to buy, because the shell several times prevented bad damage to the phone. The thing is popped several times with Schmackes on the ground; NEVER something happened.
The cover fits beautifully, nothing wobbles, nothing squeaks, creaks nothing, everything can be operated without any problems.
The phone is good and very good grip; no comparison to the handling without shell, when a thing that constantly wants to slip out of your hand.
Also peppy drop on hard surfaces is now possible without any problems and without damage.
Very nice also: The two-part volume button, through which one can feel any problems now, whether you're the volume up or volume down end caught, which is not possible in the one-piece volume rocker of S4.
Why only four stars? - For two reasons:
1) The section of the infrared transmitter is a bit tight; the viewing angle of the infrared diode is limited by the fact: You have the phone quite precisely directed towards the infrared receiver of the device to be controlled, which is a bit inconvenient.
2) Samsung was so seldom stupid once again to locate the speaker on the back of the phone; was so, learned its predecessors have been in Korea as Samsung usual nothing. Therefore, the original back cover of the phone for hasty correction of this design error has a small "Huckel" over the loudspeaker, so that not rests flush on the pad and the tone vermuffelt. This Huckel missing in the sleeve, unfortunately, so you must be careful when placing the phone that the S4 does not lie flat, so that the sound is not muted. Because you would have thought genuine.
Otherwise there's nothing to complain about.
TIP: As a slightly flexible shell can never absolutely tight lie on the phone case, accumulate over time inevitably dirt between shell and telephone. This can result in the long run to scratches on the housing; Therefore the shell decrease from time to time and remove the Siff below.
