You can answer and terminate a phone call without opening the cover; you can also take a photo without opening the cover. There are separate S-View settings in the main Settings menu. You will make certain choices there regarding the background color of the S-View screen. This is a background only for the S-View window and is separate from the background color/design on the phone's home screen. It's visible when the S-View case is closed, or if the phone rings, but it does not stay on all the time. It will make sense to you when you do your set-up.

Here is location of S-View screen background color controls: Settings>General>Accessory>S view window color. This is easily found by doing Google searches online; that's how I found it.

Yes the small window has the same option as the phone itself where u can slide to the right to answer or left to ignore wile it's flipped closed the installation just refers to taking the back off and replacing with the case and then ul have an option to change the color of the little s view screen wile it's closed to 1 of predetermined 10 colors hope this answer helps

Yes, you can answer phone calls without flip-open the cover. You can look at clock, weather, play music using S-view window without open the cover. You can't really call out though, you have to dial the number on the phone, then you can continuing your call even after you close the cover, just can't really initiate phone call.

Yes it does. U can answer the calls without opening the case and see text messages also. When u first put the case on the phone u get the option of choosing a color. U can change the color later on in the settings.

I did not buy my S-View Cover from amazon (seller sent me wrong item). But yes, I can answer calls with the S-view cover (from Bestbuy), without flipping it open.

if you flip the cover on the surface of the phone there is no openings to access the volume keys. If you open the cover, there is an opening for the volume keys.

I have this exact unit for my S3. I have not noted any audible tone, in my months using this product. I only noted the green & blue lights. A solid blue light when a solid charging connection is made. It alternates blinking blue & green, when it's "close" to a connection. Reposition & you're good. A bliking blue light means it's "trying" to charge, but experiences an issue.

It works well for protection just that the s - view doesn't work after a while..

I've always had issues with the phones flash being too bright, the case doesn't change that either way. No halo effect that I can tell.

That's an interesting question. I just looked. I really only works when the phone is held upright and people are trying to view it from the side.

Thanks for your help! I ended up calling the company to try to figure this out. Strangely, a live person picked up the phone after two rings and no routing of the call. I asked her what the difference was, and all she said was the color is different but they're basically the same. I guess that's the unofficial but official word from someone working there! I ended up saving my $5 and getting the black one, which I like better anyway.

I think so. It doesn't really matter though, since you can't see any of the phone's actual color. It looks natural though, if that's what you're getting at.

There's one ob mine too. But I left it on. So none of my screen is uncovered. I've had the cover for a few months and its awesome.

It may have been defective. My touchscreen worked, but had a greenish tint to it. I pulled it off and am using a screen guard. You should contact the vendor and request an exchange. Good Luck.

I'm not sure if the minutes showing on the front is from the phone itself or the service you have but mine scrolls across the front constantly and definately informs me of the minutes I've used. That aside , I find that I have a problem with crackling noises and people not hearing me with my new phone when I didn't have that problem with my old phone. Since I'm calling from the same places and using the same service (I love Net10)...I can only assume it's a flaw with the phone, and I'm not going to buy another new phone so I'm just dealing with it. I actually would not recommend this phone as a purchase!

I am not certain. I have my s4 set to wave for info and that does not come on when I open the cover. I leave my cover flipped back when in the house and shut the cover when I go out so I haven't tried to change my settings.

I don't understand what you mean... Like when you open n close the case does it turn phone on n off? No it doesn't

Hi Janice- your mileage will vary depending on your phone provider, but ours does light up when there is a voicemail- or it flashes. We don't seem to know what the difference between the flash and the steady light means. We really like the phone- the only thing I would add is a backlight to the display.

In the process of commpleting your order, there is an option to add comments to your order for the vendor. Did you try requesting your desired color? I would be curious to know if it would make a difference. I have had my comments ignored before, but there is always a chance! The comment option has also helped me avoid ordering a similar but incorrect product in the past. The vendor actually called me to verify and avoided a bad order for us both. :) (There is an HTC Desire and a Desire S cell phone, but they don't use that same cover)

I own this model of phone and it definitely answers when flipped open. There is a setting in the menu that would allow you to turn off this feature, so if it did not answer when flipped open then you just need to change the setting.
