Does the sound get muffled when you fold back the case? If so, how bad is it?

I guess it depends on how you fold it back. If you roll the cover so it acts as a stand, then, no. But if you lay it flat over the back, then yes, it will. The sound is not great from the built-in speakers to begin with, and this doesn't help.

I agree with Gary. When set up as a stand, I think the cover resonates the sound pretty well - whatever loss there is seems to be compensated for by it directing the sound more to the sides rather than straight out the back (who thought that was a good idea?!). When flat behind the G Pad, it does muffle it some. If I want to listen to something on it, I usually use headphones or a bluetooth speaker, anyway.

I have not done a thorough before and after on the sound, but I have no difficulty hearing sounds/ music with the case on. It is silicon right around the speakers, so there may be some dampening, but not significant.

I don't think the case would be the problem. I'm not sure why. I just fold back the card side to the back and the sound is great and makes for nice grip in my hand. Sorry your having problem. Good Luck

No I haven't experienced this, it may depend on the ring tone but I've never had a problem with my speakers or ringer being muffled

I have mine for a month or two and I love it. But it is true that the case seems weak so I am very careful . I even left the protrectrice film-coat on top. I have good headphones 120 db and I adore the sound. Goodbye.

It greatly muffles it. I forgot to mention that initially in my review. Volume maxed out you can hear somewhat clearly but it's much quieter since it's covered.

Takes some getting used to.Case will fold back completely. It was a little stiff at first but now much easier. You can also hold it by the case without folding it back completely if you hold it to your left ear. My husband did not even want a case and now he likes it too.

Not at all. Works fine with me. The thing that muffled sound for me is when I got a keyboard cover.

There are multiple tiny holes in the back of the case over the speaker to let sound pass. I haven't noticed any great impact on the sound myself.

I would say no. But I always have my music on in the case and it's still pretty loud. And you can hear it under water still!

Yes the sound was muffled. I did return this unit for a refund as it was the metal case model and may not have been a Real Lunatik case. I cannot speak for the authentic Lunatik. I did however find it to be bulky and difficult to plug in headphones and charge cables. I went back to the LifeProof case for my iPhone 4s and for my new 5s. Much lighter and smaller.

In my opinion it does not affect the sound quality. The case offers perfect protection for this excellent high end Bose component. Every time I bring it to BBQ's at wounderful Zürich-Lake my friends are fascinated cause this case its not available outside the U.S. I would highly recommend. Sacha, Zürich, Switzerland

No, not that I have noticed. I am pretty sensitive regarding sound, formally being a professional vocalist. Sound is extremely important to me. This was a concern when I ordered the case but from what I have been able to detect, the sound has not been affected on my Galaxy Note 3.

No, unfortunately it doesn't. I folded a small piece of paper towel and taped it to the speaker and it muffles the sound some so it's not so loud.

Sorry, I don't have that problem with my case. But the speakers are on the back of the galaxy S5 phone so make sure nothing is covering them.

I don't have any issues with hearing my phone when it's laid on its back with or without the case

Hi NzoMD. I'd rate the sound leak about equivalent to the noise-cancelling. Pretty darn good but not 100%. I tested it by playing music with my laptop volume on max then the headphone volume on max, and the results left, in my opinion, "quiet" sounds.
