Some reviewers are commenting about the IR blaster being "covered over". Is it covered over?

I am able to use it as a remote for our entertainment center just fine with this case.

I think what his/her concern was is will the platters and internals be exposed. And the answer is no, they will be covered in its own case. They simply show it that way (opened) in the picture

Some say you can protect it, but with what? Keep in mind that the ir would be reflected on the glass/plastic canopy unless you don't need to see in the dark. Those that are weather proof usually have a cover already built in.

It does cover the speakers but not completely. It's designed to proyect the sound towards the user.

Unfortunately it does cover the IR which, is the only downside in my opinion of the case. However, it can be taken on and off very easily and it does not scratch the M8 at all. Its my favorite case that I have and I do have a few. To answer your question, there is no way around covering the IR blaster but like I said you can just take it off very easily. I do not use a case when I'm home anyway just when I go out so it doesn't bother me.

Screen is exposed. I like mine that way. I want full access to the screen. It does help absorb stock if dropped, though.

No, it's not covered, and I got hosed on Black Friday buying mine here. All you can get from SmartGuard: Thank you for your response. We sincerely do apologize for the inconvenience, but for plans purchased after 9/19/2014, we are not covering as we do not cover the DJI Quadcopter.

Most consumer IR cameras aren't made to protect Area 51 ...so they emit a faint red glow from the IR blasters. But if you're looking to get all James Bond up at your house...look for "940nm wavelength IR cameras" they are completely invisible to the naked eye.

No it does not block the IR blaster. I use it for 3 different TVs and it works just as well as the TV remote.

NOT covered! Just did online chat with them and it is NOT COVERED. They are working with Amazon to have it removed as an option!! Wish I could post a screen shot because I saved it.

Dear Abhishek,Thank you for your post. The speaker is indeed covered by holes, which allows the sound to travel through the holes while still protecting it from getting damaged more easily (i.e., food, dust, sharp objects, etc). Please feel free to message us again if you have any additional questions or concerns. Best,Ryan

I can not say yes or no. Did not see anything like that when I signed up. If someone throws something at the screen I would doubt it would be covered since it wouldn't be a result of the tv failing

The receiver doesn't have any real exposed areas that make contact with the case. While one could wrap/cover the receiver end of the barrel, I don't keep excessive amounts of oil/grease on it to make enough of a difference requiring special attention.

No it doesn't. At first I took the tablet out to use the IR blaster, there is no need to. It works perfectly fine in the case.

Not very noticable if you're not directly looking at it or if you are at an angle. However, if you're looking straight from where it is aimed at you'll see the red glow from the IRs. Just right, though. Am happy with it. Hope this answers your question.

Close to a mirror image for day. By night the IR really is not effective. My brake & backup lights help augment a little for darkness. The IR Blasters that come on the unit just create optical distortion. Good unit for the price I guess, I've seen better ones go for $150 and upwards. Good luck.
