How well can you see your phone screen through the Phubby? Can you answer a call, leaving the phone in place, using the phone speaker?

Yes and no. In bright sun, I have difficulty seeing the face of my phone, but in lower light conditions it's possible. The Phubby doesn't appear to interfere with sound quality, but I prefer to slide the phone out while talking because I feel a little silly talking to my wrist.

It would be possible. But, I keep a cover on my phone for protection. The phubby was just to keep it handy. I quit using it because it was too tight and uncomfortable to wear.

Yes, you can see the screen well enough to answer a call (although not to play Angry Birds), and use the speaker phone.

can see the light on, can see that it's a text or a call, but that's about it. it's not very good really!

I was disappointed with this feature and found that I can't use the phone in the pouch because I really can't see the screen properly.

poorly made, I could barely see the face of my phone, let alone answer a call.

Hi Brent, Yes, you can still talk on the phone while your phone is in the case. Just fold the flap and you're good :) Jo Tan / The Friendly Swede

The only time I've done was on speakerphone or using bluetooth, I'm sure though that it wouldn't much effect the volume of your call either way.however the cover may accidentally touch a button on your screen if you move and turn the screen on. When I'm using my phone to take calls I fold the cover the other way around and hold it as you would any other phone / case.

the only way is if there is a option on your phone to answer the call with your handset. when a call comes in my iphone shows options on the screen if i want to answer using the phone or the bluetooth speaker

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.

The speaker phone part has a volume control which works very well to be heard and to hear. You should be near the phone to be heard. Thanks

You can still use voice dial if you have that on your phone. The speaker is on the flexsmart. The sound quality is decent as long as you don't have excess noise in the background.

It does have speaker/hands-free feature, if you can figure out how to implement it, it's not the easiest phone to access the features.

Shouldn't be a problem assuming the plug is on top of the phone. Because the Phubby is made out of stretchy material, it will stretch to give access.

Yes you can answer the phone. You can listen to music without headphone due to the cover blocking the jack.

Yes. You can hear calls. You can also hear the phone's turn-by-turn navigation and any other sounds such as notifications, etc. If you put the phone in Drive Mode (if you have that option), text messages will be read out loud, and you'll hear that through the speakers as well.

Yes you can make calls. It's sort of uncomfortable up against your ear and the sound is a bit muffled

You can recieve the calls normally, but you won't be able to hear them through the speakers, unfortunately. I tried..

if it is plugged in to the phone and you get a call you can hear the caller over the speaker, but it does not have a microphone...you would have to talk into the microphone that is on the phone...just the same as if you had your cell phone on speaker mode when you answer a call

Yes you can.However, the camera is on the back of the phone so you won't be able to see the party you're talking to, but you can hear them.

Honestly, I love this thing, but the speaker is horrible. My Galaxy S4 phone is louder and sounds better, which is kind of sad in my opinion. My battery lasts longer than my 12-hour work day with moderate use but not heavy use. Obviously it'll depend on what you're doing. Anything that requires constant screen use is going to severely limit the life of the battery.
