can you talk and hear with the case closed?

Yes you can talk and hear with it closed. I generally keep it open though because with it closed it feels like you're talking into a wallet

Absolutely. There are holes at the top of the case so you can hear. The microphone is on the bottom of the phone so it is not covered by the case. After all, who wants to be on the phone in public, showing all your cards to the ones around you.

I never tried talking with the case closed due to the fact of it being less functional to use the keypad that way. However, you can easily flip the cover to the back of the phone so it won't dangle while you are talking. Also, I listen to music with the case closed all the time and there is no loss of sound since there are appropriately placed slits in the cover.

No, you do not have to take it out of the case. You can answer your calls with the case open or folded back.

Yes. When you open the lid the device shuts off. Just remove your hearing devices any time you want.

Yes but people can't hear you. You have to brake the case and make it un waterproof to not sound like you are no longer in a tunnel. I threw mine in the trash. I wouldn't buy it.

No, you don't need to. You can set up your phone so the home key answers the phone and the power button ends calls. And you can talk with the flap closed. Or if you don't have it set up that way you just simply pull the flap back as you talk.

No.. it doesn't "shut down anything that was open.. so, if you get a call.. you can close the case.. and still talk to them.. :)

Not at all. And once you answer the call you can continue the conversation with the cover closed because it doesn't cover the listen speakers or the microphone.

Yes. The phone is covered very well. You need to open the case near the speaker for the other caller to hear you though. Otherwise it sounds like you're talking through a pillow.

I'm pretty sure the microphone is on the bottom of the phone. So the case shouldn't effect that while closed.

Yes u can. U press the jug once you're on intercom, once more and ure back to music.

No. There is a hole that exposes the microphone outlet. It is not hard to hear or speak on the phone. It functions just the same with the case.

Yes it is difficult to talk on the phone while it's in the case so I just use my hands free device.

No, you are unable to do so. The device itself has an ear piece and microphone built into it. You can listen to the conversation later via headphones but not concurrently.

You can hear phone ring while in case but need to take out to talk and hear.

No, and I like that feature about it. I had read that some of them did not shut off like they were supposed to when the case is closed !

I always do, unless I'm using my Galaxy Gear. But, I would imagine the speaker (on) setting would be good enough to allow you to talk while the cover is closed. A note* - The wrap-around tab is magnetic and will hold the cover open for you all the way in a 'behind-the-phone' position, so it is not really a problem to have the cover open. Hope this helps! Merry Christmas! Self-plug: This will be the best answer. To other contributors, "Step it up!"

You can leave the phone on when it's inside the case to notify you but you will have to open up the case to use the phone.
