Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (White)

Good quality. So nice and suitable for the one that we bought for.

I've had cell phones since they came in bags and were called bag phones. I recently ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 and in anticipation of it's arrival ordered this case, just so I'd have something to put it in. Now, having had it for several days, I'm very impressed. While it requires that you replace the back of the cell phone (save the original!!) it's not a big deal to install; just make sure that it snaps all the way 'round.Once installed (a 30-second operation at most) it takes a bit of use for the hinge to loosen up so that the cover falls naturally and completely over the screen. After that, it closes itself naturally when you flip it. The cover itself is very attractive. The front has a brushed look; the back looks very much like the stock phone back (which you never really see anyway.) The inside front cover is soft.The cover is a natural, tight fight and complements the phone. I can slip it into my pocket and feel like my phone is well-protected. It adds very little bulk and I discovered that it will still fit into the side holster I used for my old Droid Incredible 2.At the price I paid ($17), this was a worthwhile investment. I will wait to see how durable the hinge is. For now, I'm very pleased with it.Update: I've had the case for almost a month now and still love it. One thing I had to get used to: when actually using the phone as a phone I had to get into the habit of bending the cover back. It's almost a two-hand operation (for me at least) so it can be a little awkward. Still, I like the cover and am willing to live with this small inconvenience.

I personally love the look of a flip cover. When I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S4 last week, I decided that this time around I am going to purchase a flip cover and I ended up purchasing this product which is produced by Samsung. After receiving the product I was very impressed. The build and finish of the product is very solid. To install the cover, you need to open the back cover of your phone and insert the back cover that is provided by the product, which the flip cover is attached to. The back cover provided was not the same design as my Galaxy S4 Black Mist from T-Mobile, however the designs were almost identical and the quality is exactly the same. The flip cover aligns and covers the screen perfectly. Under the flip cover is microfiber, which is very gentle on the screen and holds against the screen very well. The flip cover is very slim and does not add any thickness to the phone. The appearance is gorgeous. The satin stitching is done in one direction which causes beautiful light reflection. The cover is very simple but the simplicity is wonderful.However, nothing is perfect. Even though the cover is great, I have a few issues. The flip cover is very slim and seems to be very weak in durability. If someone were to bend the cover by mistake, it would be completely destroyed and ruined. For such a high price, I expected the cover to be made of plastic or a material more durable. Also, the cover does not stay on the screen and can move around while in your pocket. This causes a lot of debris and lint to enter inside the cover which ends up being stuck on the microfiber and that can lead to small scratches on the screen of your phone. My last issue is that when you install this product, the back cover has no protection. I do understand that is part of the design however it is very prone to being scratched, which can ruin the beauty of the Galaxy S4. I did end up returning this product because I've found a similar Smart Cover from a third party on Amazon, which protects the entire phone for the same price as this one.Overall, if you are looking for a slim, sleek, and beautiful flip cover then this is a great product for you. However, if you are looking for a durable cover, then I would avoid this one. Even though it is a bit pricey for only a flip cover, it is still a good product. I hope I have helped! If you have any question or comment, please feel free to contact me!UPDATE 6/22/2013After almost two months of regular usage, the cover is still holding up very well. I just wanted to inform everyone to be aware of what company you purchase this product from. My friend purchased this product from a third party for a very low price and it turned out to be a counterfeit. If you prefer this case, I highly suggest you pay a little extra and purchase from amazon directly.

Have to take the factory battery cover off and snap this one in place. Gives device a new look, more personal. Felt-like inside the front flap, help keeps the screen dust free. Can fold cover back to keep screen accessible, however screen is vulnerable to breakage of dropped (i learned the hard way to keep the cover closed whenever possible). Provides minimum protection, if looking primarily for protection I suggest a different product. Cosmetically this is great! image is true to color.

No one ever plans on dropping their phone, that is why this style case is useless. Its nice for pulling in and out of your pocket and not worrying about scratching the screen, if u don't have a screen protector, but that is it. I dropped my phone a few times and it landed on its back and the case exploded, which is okay, cause it softened the drop and the phone was fine, I just put the phone back it the case. Now the big problem and why I will never go with a portfolio type case again. I dropped the phone in a parking lot and it landed smack on the glass and shattered. I then realized that the flap didn't have a magnet of flap to keep in closed, dumb, you'd have thought you'd think of that. If the portfolio case had a high ridge so the glass was embedded a bit then my glass wouldn't have shattered. I've just looked at every portfolio type case out there and none of them address this problem, if you have it open and drop it, it's fifty fifty whether the flap closes or opens and the glass shatters. Like flipping a coin. My solution, buy a protective case with a stand, make sure the phone is embedded, and buy a screen protector.
