Does the thickness interfere with the camera flash?

It does. I think that is what makes the entire picture look hazy. When I tried it outside...no need for the flash...it didn't haze as bad, but it still left the circular obstruction/shadow at the bottom, no matter how straight I positioned the camera.

No, unless the door is slightly open. You can also open it all the way if you're worried about it. I had too much in it and the door wouldn't stay closed and noticed that there was a shadow in the corner but other than that it works fine.

It does not. I absolutely love this product and have bought it as gifts. I am frequently asked where I got it. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Not at all - it takes great pictures! It is cut away around the flash and yet is still sealed enough that I don't worry about junk getting into it.

No, not that I've noticed. It is cut away for that reason I imagine. I'm no professional photographer, but since having that case I've taken pics in 12 countries on three continents without complaint! :)

I haven't really noticed a difference. I love the storage so it makes it worth it.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

The barrier between the flash and camera keeps reflection down. The trade off is having a flash that is more focused or beam like and sometimes a strange glow but nothing that is too much for my uses. I've had no issues at all with a difference in signal.

No, in this case the cutout is exactly in the middle and it leaves the camera of the S4 perfectly uncovered. Nevertheless, it does cover the flash.

I have not experienced any problems with the flash being blocked by the case. The flash fits well in the camera/flash cutout. I've taken several pictures with the and haven't noticed any obscuring/darkening as a result of the case. That being said, I have not used the camera with the case off.

Not at all in my experience. I can see it maybe interfering with flash but I haven't noticed anything like that either.

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

Not at all. The camera lens and flash are exposed as no not hinder it. Its a great case

No it does not interfere, as far as picture quality is concerned there really is no effect from the case itself, the opening to the camera does not have a plastic film cover, it is open and exposed.

You guys are all crazy. The flash is not covered, but it the hole IS a design flaw. If you use the flash to take a picture the picture will be white and blurry (the flash shoots back into the lens). They have fixed this in the iPhone 5 model (take a look). I've had this case for about 2 years and love it (other than this issue). If you can do without taking flash pictures (which I did), then you'll love this case.

The case opening for the pictures and flash is quite large. I have seen no interference.

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

I have had no issues with the flash. The camera takes great pictures with my case on.

Yes, the cover does affect the images taken with flash. The top part of the image will have a lighter color as the flash reflects on the cover somehow. I always have to remove the cover if I don't want my image to look like they have a subtle white layer on it.

I didn't have any problem with my camera/flash while using this case. I did find that without my screen protector being in place that my screen would've been scratched, but that's probably because I carry my phone in my back pocket too. The friction from the case covering caused some scratches (just surface scratches), but again take in consideration where I carry my phone. I really do like this case!

Mine does that too, but it's barely noticeable. it doesn't affect the use of the camera at all.

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!)
