Does this case make the phone heat up or drain the battery? Also does it allow you pull the screen down to change the volume, turn on wifi, etc.?

I have noticed that this case does heat the phone but it does not drain the battery. I found that when GPS is left on my phone drains faster. The volume on my Galaxy S4 is on the side which is covered by the black part of the armband. This is not an issue for me since I easily adjust through the material. The plastic cover does allow you to continue to operate all of the features. I have had issues with pulling the screen down if the phone is not placed in the armband perfectly. I do like to have everything on before I start running so I don't have to mess with it. Overall, I am still very satisfied with this armband.

No, it does not heat up or drain the battery and it allows all touch screen functions to work perfectly. I love it!

I haven't had any problems with it heating up the phone and have had it on for more than an hour in the hot summer sun. It doesn't need a battery charge at all. You can use the screen just like normal through the clear screen and it works pretty good. You do have to push a bit harder, but I can still swipe and unlock my phone through the screen.

I don't familiar the heat up or battery drain issue. The touch screen is fully functional.

No the phone does not heat while in the case. The battery does not drain because if the case. It allows for touch screen access, but it is not extremely easy to access the screen for adjustments while exercising; however, for the price, it is an excellent value!

I didn't use that case very long. For some reason it caused my phone to turn off. I don't know if it was the magnet in the cover or what. I switched to another case and had no problem. II gave it another try and it happened again so I discarded it.

Yes it does - and as for the other comment concerning destruction of the phone - was not an issue - I followed a youtube video where the person replacing the screen heated the unit by placing it in a pan on the stove and once it got to the recommended temp - it came off relatively easily.

Yes, closing the case makes te Nexus turn off, but not all the way down. The screen goes black and lights up as soon as you reopen it.

There is a battery in the case itself and your phone automatically pulls power from that battery when it needs it. The case uses a micro USB cord and will charge both the battery in the case and your phone at the same time. Mine just recharged my phone as I was typing this :)

The case does not get hot, the front panel gets very warm because that is where the hot air is coming from of course. I have been very happy with my original one. I returned the second one I purchased from Amazon because it lacked the hardware to assemble the base and the box had been previously opened.

Yes it works. You just push a small button on the lower part of the case. I have used it several times when me phone battery was low in power.

It does not. The only downside I have found is that it makes your phone slightly heavier and when charging with the case, the phone/case get warm. Otherwise the charger works fine.

Hi, I own one.It has the +- bottons and you can change volume with no problem. Though I happy with the case I was desapointed because it is not real leather.Bye

No, it does not (at least it does not for mine). That said, I'd still recommend it. I don't mind actually turning it on/off and otherwise the case is fantastic. Seems to get better with wear.

No it doesn't. The magnet is towards the screen. It will not put the phone to sleep regardless. But beware even the authentic covers magnet does NOT attract to the phones. The flap needs to adjust to the screen and will hopefully eventually close. However I took my case off. They stain easily and they are annoying when you want to change the case and you don't have the original back.

No. But I noticed in general the case makes the phone *very* hot. Occasionally I have take the case off so the phone can cool down.

I don't understand the question aspect of this.... I bought this case and sometimes ita turns the screen off and sometimes it doesn't, its temperamental. But if you you found a better one then great.... I don't know if that answered your question....

not with the smart cover attached...the case has the smart sleep lip attatched to it which is cool. when i got mind i inserted my mini at 95% battery life and a week later i open it and it was at 80% so i think its holding its power pretty good. Hope that helps

Yes, I have caught one time where when I picked up the case it turned on inside the case, however it has always shut off when I close it. I also have a timer to turn my screen off after a minute or so, which I would think help if it didn't turn off.

Yes it puts it into sleep mode. Make sure you buy cover they supports this function. Haven't noticed any significant battery life reduction in this mode.

I don't know, mine doesn't do that. Mine only blinks while it's charging. Hope that helps! I think this case is great, I have long appts at the VA clinic. It increases my battery life all day.
