Why is the rear flip cover clear? I cannot fathom what the advantage would be.

Because Aimpoint has a 4x magnifier that goes directly behind it, and it's so close to the scope that you can't open/close the back lens so that's why it's clear

Because with both eyes open your brain transfers the dot to the target even though the front of the sight is blocked. Fathom that.

Not sure what the designers intended, but if you don't have time to flip up the covers, the clear rear cover will allow you to use the sight as an occluded eye gunsight. If both eyes are open, the dominant eye will see the dot and your brain will superimpose the dot correctly on the target as seen by the non-dominant eye.

If you are running a magnifier behind your optic, there may not be room to open and close the cover. Just leave it shut in that instance.

There is a very good reason for it, actually. You can use the red dot sight with the rear clear cover even if the front cover is still closed. It is perfect in case you don't have time to open the front cover, or if it is raining, blowing dust, etc. Since red dot sights were originally designed to be used by keeping both eyes open you will still see your target and the red dot will be superimposed on it.

My best guess is time and light reflection. It is a combat sight and if you use both eyes the red dot still appears to your brain even when the front cover is down and you don't really want that chance of reflection, off the glass 100%, of the time. You can take off the front and place a honeycomb cover on it.. the best option

It is designed for sudden quick shots when you don't have the time to flip up the covers. The way it works is that you shoot with both eyes open. The weaker eye feeds the brain the target image which then transfers the image to your dominant eye which can see the dot thru the clear lense. So basically you can line up the dot on target with your dominant eye using the target image from the weaker eye. You do have to have both eyes open for it to work. It is quite accurate in a pinch.

I have found it useful when it is rainy or foggy - it doesn't allow water to seep in and distort your view. The front of course doesn't matter in that respect because most people don't carry a rifle pointing straight up

Sorry - I have the Clear over the Golf 5S........ My bet is you don't like the glossy look of the clear on your black. The smoke on black would probably look good - it would also have a glossy look - but probably less so than the clear. Either way - it is an inexpensive option to try (compared to the alternatives - that include a bumper. Note: Zagg locations does have a "faceless" bumper - - - and can put the matte finish screens on front and back.......Good luck

Definitely Plastic. Rear cover is replica of brand Samsung S4 mini rear cover and it fits perfectly my device. Front flip cover is also plastic, but with kind of fashionable and rich look. Can say nothing about durability yet, one month in use. Big advantage: no need to talk with opened front cover - just answer the call, close the cover and continue talking - speaker and microphone stay opened.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any difference really. It's designed to provide a better view of your screen. My favorite would be the shatter protectant one. I like the glossy appearance ( not all bumpy )

Yes, it's completely clear! I also owned a rubberized one from Speck and that stuff was peeling off. Answering for Tim, he bought it for me :).

More traction on the rear where most of the weight of the ATV/UTV are when riding. Front normally narrow for steering purposes makes it easier and not heacier

It's the back cover. It's not a job for the inexperienced. I ended up taking my car to a dealer to have them installed by a tech.

I've got the opposite problem. I placed mine in the rear, but the image is NOT reversed. Wish I could trade cameras. I didn't notice this until it was installed in my rear bumper.

Lots of speculative answers here as well as some "non-answers." I called Bosch to find out what the facts are and was told by a technical rep that the passenger side wiper has more spring tension for a tighter "grasp" onto the windshield. Why this results in better performance I can't say but that was the answer I got "straight from the horse's mouth" so to speak.

Im not sure I understand your question. The reason for the screen is to eliminate the double reflection from your windshield. The image is reflected from both the outside and inside of the windshield making it difficult to view.

Actually, I made a mistake in writing the cover was colored. They're clear, it's the backs that are colored. I made that mistake because I use them back to front, so I can see the colors better. If you're looking for clear holders in the slim format, I think you can find those on Amazon, too.

Mine does not have a flip cover. I think that is only for the commuter series.

The case/cover cracked I do not know why or how. I never dropped it but clear plastic was very brittle. I am talking about the upper corner of the cut out for the flip cover flap location on the case/cover.

No, just clear. I guess all phone covers attract the above, however; it's not more noticeable than others.

It is like a smart phone and does not need a flip cover. You can set up the screen off as your need and once the screen is off there is no worry for butt dial. So he can carry it in any way he likes. When you are ready to use just push the green or red button and the screen will be back for function. You can also set up with the pass word to go into home page/screen. It is a good phone and I do not think you make a mistake but a bit heavy. Please read the owner manual and you may find some functions are useful for you. Hope this help.

YES on both questions. Order the clear one if you plan on looking thru the windshield.... Or riding at night

Just the clear plastic. No flip cover included. Samsung official flip cover is only one that is supported other aftermarket flip covers may not work.
