Does it interfere with the built-in (pop-up) flash?

Sadly, yes. When mounted to the camera on the hot shoe, it covers the pop up flash completely, preventing operation of the flash. However, the receiver does not need to be mounted on the camera. It can be mounted to the tripod.

YES!!! It will disable the built in flash even if you will not place the unit in the shoe.... Not worth it...

Not at all. Flash works just as it would with the case off. However this case does interfere with the infrared that you need to use your phone as a tv remote control.

No it does not interfere with the flash when taking pictures or the flashlight.

No, the camera lets you know if flash is needed, but you have to pop up the flash manually. It's a great camera.

Yes but you can still purchase an additional flash that can attach to the camers. The pop up flash works fine.

No. The case is far enough away from the actual lens of the camera to not interfere with it. It DOES change the throw pattern of the flash (noticed really only when using as a flashlight) in that it narrows the spread of the flashlight just a bit. It does not IMO really reduce any functionality of the flashlight it just makes the spread of the light drop off a bit more sharply around the edges that the light without the case. I haven't noticed this as a problem with the light being used as flash for the camera but in theory I suppose it could if you took some pics of calibration charts in the dark or something.

On my Samsung Note 3 and my wife's Note 2, this gizmo does NOT block the flash (although the edge is right next to the flash light). I don't think it would affect a flash picture at all, however, I have never taken a flash picture using these lenses. I mostly us the close-up lens to magnify fine print and turning on the light as needed and that works great. The only issue I now have with my Note 3 is that with the Otterbox I have on it, the clip on lens doesn't quite fit flush without holding it. I don't have an iPhone or other Samsung phone to check how it fits over the camera lens and how it impacts the flash.

No, but the popup flash does a great job. sometimes when shooting objects I add a spot light from the side.

I purchased the flash, but I have not used it yet. Sorry, I can't help. Jim K

I've never had a problem with my flash before they enlarged the cutout. If they have made the cutout larger, it must have corrected some issue someone thought they were experiencing. I guess that means 'yes'. :-)

Case does not block the flash, dont worry man! I've taken many photos/videos with no issues. I love mine and recommend it.

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

No Amy, and Ive actually had this problem on some previous cases before but it leaves more than enough space for the lens and flash to work properly without interference! hope this helps! :)

No it works totally perfectly! The case definitely doesn't obstruct the flash. (Side note: seriously it's the best case ever. Mine has held up perfectly for about a year and a half now! No complaints at all!)

No.. Not at all. The cut out is perfect and the camera and flash work normally.

No idea. I bought it. Wasn't impressed. Plus flash didnt pop out consistently and returned it.

Not at all, it absolutely does not block or affect the camera or the flash.
