Does this affect the speakerphone if you fold the cover to the back of the phone?

It muffles the sound a little, but its the same as having the phone facing face up on a table.

Hi Brent, i don't think it would affect the speakerphone.I have this case allready for a month and it is great.

I fold it back all the time and have not noticed a problem. I really like it.

No but I use the speakers most. I just don't like putting my phone on my face. I love the button piece that is one of the biggest reasons I picked this case.

Yes, it folds all the way back (unless it's plugged into power obviously). This is by far the best design for a phone cover/case/protector i've ever seen. Not only does it do all of those things, it's also elegant and it doesn't significantly increase the phone bulk.

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.

Not that I've noticed. It may muffle the speaker some, but this isn't really a loud phone anyway. My biggest complaint is that it's difficult to remove.

If you're asking if the magnets touch/work together with cover flapped open and bent backwards.....no it doesn't. The flat part of the magnet sticks to side of phone, the back piece of the cover overlaps or blocks that flat magnet from connecting with the part on the cover. Hope that makes sense. It's still nice to have and haven't found your concern to be an issue.

I usually fold the magnetic flap under the other flap when I am going to be on the phone for very long. It has not been a problem at all for me. Yes, the case folds back.

No, but the cover opens 180 degrees! It folds up on the rear side of the phone, allowing one to talk with no trouble. Another thing which will take getting used to: When fully opened on the rear, it covers the camera and the flash! It's no trouble to work around. This works exactly like the plastic checkbook cover that almost everyone uses, except the hard back replaces the hard back on your phone! It works well for me! I'd never buy anything else!

It doesn't cover the speakers or microphones. I have had no issues besides my cellular service breaking in and out sometimes :) So, yes - recommend. Plus, when my keys scratched the screen, my phone was fine - only the plastic protector was scratched - definitely worth the investment.

Dust and debris gets into the little slits designed for the speakers. This dust and debris comes to rest in between the screen and the screen protector. Also pocket lint and dust accumulate in the opening for the phone call sensor, so the device has a hard time telling if the phone is to your face or not. You can remove the case and clean it frm time to time, but this gets old and tiresome the case isn't the easiest to remove. Hope this helps

Yes and no. It only effects the sound. You can hear perfectly fine, just in lower volume because it is airtight making it change the way sound waves travel. As far as clarity goes i saw the change is so minute you can hardly tell. Overall worth it if it protects the phone

There is a cut out for the speaker. I use mine on speaker phone and have never had an issue being heard or hearing the caller. I love this case. I highly recommend it.

No..when I get a call or call someone I fold the front cover back..I takes a little time to answer a call because I have to open the cover and fold it back but it's ok..I love my phone cover plus I feel my phone is totally protected..I will always use these kinds of covers my note 3 as u well know was expensive and it needs to be protected. .

It's not covered. There's an opening. It actually sounds great when using the speaker. I've used this cover on my S4 for several months.

The speakers are not covered, so the sound quality does not seem to be effected. That said, the sound is somewhat directed. If the sound level is low, and you are listening to music or a podcast, you want to point the bottom of the phone in your general direction, not away from you. At higher sound levels, it doesn't seem to matter much.

The bottom is partially covered - this interferes with the speaker (you cannot hear very well) the same type cover can be purchased at Verizon but the bottom is open so you can hear.

I have not had this happen, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know.**UPDATE**Sorry this is coming a bit later, but yes, the ringer will go through the speaker.
