S-View Cover - A lot of light, but also, unfortunately, a lot of shade

The product test platform has trnd.com given the opportunity to test 200 online reporters the S-View Cover, Samsung Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear almost 4 weeks through its paces. The test phase is coming to an end and I prefer my own personal résumé. The results are from reporter to reporter but very different and reflect has personal preference again. One or the other, my conclusion is perhaps strictly perceive as something, but those are just the things that struck me and about which one gets might at first no idea. But if you spend so much money on a cover, it should also be used.

Whom it may interest all of my blog posts about these three products on my blog gadget-checks.blogspot.de read. There are also many photos can be found on all 3 products.

The S-view Cover offers many advantages, but unfortunately also many disadvantages. I'm still not sure 100% if I would buy with a cover of this kind or not. I tend rather to No. For me, it bothers often more than it uses.

Samsung has gone to great lengths in the design. It looks very valuable from (at least the Black), feels good and seems to be processed fairly robust and tidy. However, the OVP of 64.90 I find very high, especially since it is not even dealing with genuine leather. Even in the street price, the so within 32 - 62 Euro is, it would be me too expensive.

We need to distinguish what you smartphone uses the most time certainly. Power often images or videos you disturb the cover too much and the operation severely limits.

Phoning mainly, is the cover of the haptics probably fine. With closed cover can be

Accept phone calls
read the time and the weather
see covered steps
you can call the Aktionsmemo in limited version
use the stick player
Take pictures in restricted mode
see what calls you missed
It offers a good all-round protection for your smartphone. This is securely and firmly connected to the cover, since the original back shell must be removed for this. This is replaced by the cover back shell.

Positives:

good workmanship
robust
protects smartphone and display
Smartphone can be operated partly closed Cover
Back cover fits 100%
many colors to choose from
attention to detail (sewn seams, embossed Samsung logo)
Buttons are easy to reach despite Cover
Cut-out for home button, which can not be accidentally activated
Camera is protected a little more
Smartphone despite round cover only slightly thicker and heavier

Negatives:
no magnetic closure, cover never close properly
Cover interfere when taking pictures and video recordings. Throw shadow over the lens and you can not use properly the hardware buttons. If you open the cover completely back, the viewing window interferes with the recordings, especially if you are using the flash.
no state function. In landscape mode, the cover does not stop
S-Voice feature is disabled in Cover closed
Player in the mini window can not be changed, so no Spotify or other player
Fits with cover only very poorly in a car and charge stand
Window is very fingerprint and Schmutzempflindlich
Softly spoken and keys can be operated at very poor unfolded Cover
no recess for Notification Light
Embossing of loud and soft symbols in cover are the finger very badly by touch
Background can not be individually adjusted
no leather

My conclusion is, for me the cover is unfortunately at the moment nothing. It limits me too much. Everyone has the pros and cons to weigh for themselves and then decide what prevails and if he is willing to spend a certain amount for this cover.
For me at the moment, unfortunately, outweigh the cons, although I find the cover to be very good.

I hope I could help one or the other in their purchasing decision.
