How easily can you text with the phone inside the cover?

It's hard if you have iPhone since case is big and not snugg fit. Maybe better for larger samsung phones.

I just recently got texting on my plan, but I really don't use it. It does work, I have successfully sent and received messages. Kind of a pain in the butt without a QWERTY keyboard.

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!"

Bobby D- not terribly easy. Unless you turn your phone sideways to text, the book doesn't open to get both of your hands on either side of the phone. 2 things though- 1.) if you're right handed and are a good one handed texter, it should be fine. 2.) You could probably "break the binding in" so to speak so that the book opens more easily. I found another issue with the 5c/s. The camera is slightly obscured, or at least the flash and potentially the light sensor. (Kind of gets shadowed due to the thickness of the case.) you definitely cannot take photos with the flash with the camera in the case, as the light reflects off of the leather and you get very hazed photos.

Yes it is easy to take the phone out of the case. It is a big phone to begin with, better use when texting or emailing.

Yes, you flip the cover open and simply flip the front flap around the back of the phone (like opening a spiral notebook). Then you just hold it in your hand and up to your ear and talk normally.

I just flip the magnet to the back and fold the cover back when texting and it's fine. I love it and it's super convenient to keep my ID and one or two debit/credit cards.

Hi, Not terribly easy. There is a bit of a delay so you have to hold it down on purpose for a second or so. Overall a nice phone.

if it is the true galaxy s view flip cover then you will be able to answer the phone, take pictures and view text very easily but I find it was somewhat difficult to answer the phone with it closed but easy to activate the camera.

I think texting is easier with the case. You can fold the cover to the back and you have a better grip on your phone... No texting problems at all. Hope this answers your question..

I almost never used it for texting because I had problems without from the beginning since people could not hear me.. For that reason I had to replace it very quiclky. Sorry I cannot help more.

Yes, but it is a little awkward, since the clasp gets in the way. It's fine for texting, though.

You can text anyone with any type of text-capable phone. Doesn't matter what brand, make or model.

Yes, very easy. The iPad fits in really nice...not too tight that you can't remove the cover, and not too loose that the iPad slips out.
