This looks like it covers a mic or speaker by the top logo. Has anyone tried using Skype since installing it?

The only thing at the front top on the Galaxy 8.0 is the camera. There's a cutout , but it's not needed. It works well with the Galaxy 8.0

I just downloaded Skype for my Windows, and when I logged on it said to configure my webcam, so I'm guessing it picked it up. But, then Skype froze and I couldn't get it to work the rest of the night. So I'm just guessing that it works. I'll have to try again later. Hope this somewhat helps.

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Options if you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.

I hope a more informed person will post to enlighten us, but I believe this bypasses your sound card/built in audio codec. I think that is the same for any USB headset.You would need to plug a headset directly via mini jacks in the sound card to use that. I guess where I am lacking clarity is that I believe there is no special speaker hardware for headsets to do "positional" surround. I think it is all simulated- either in the chip in the USB dongle or in your PCI sound card.

I tried it now on my win 8 laptop. Earphones were working great...I tried Skype test service and couldn't get the mike to work ...I did not find the TOOLS on Skype and no time to play with control panel sound on win 8. On desktop with win 7 ultimate it was very good. It did install easy

Not at all since the speakers are on the hindge area of the screen where the vents are, the cover does not cover any part of that area. Also,the is a cut out where the microphones are so those too are not covered.

I have not had any issues. There is a hole in the case over the microphone.

Same problem - minimal recording volume. I tried using it with Skype and Duolingo with no luck. Went to Logitech to see if there were drivers for my OS (Windows 8.1) but there are none. It's going back.

It doesn't cover the speakers or microphones. I have had no issues besides my cellular service breaking in and out sometimes :) So, yes - recommend. Plus, when my keys scratched the screen, my phone was fine - only the plastic protector was scratched - definitely worth the investment.

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

No mine works fine and I wouldn't be without it its awesome to be able just to leave your phone in you pocket and chat away without everyone asking what that thing around your neck is as you can hide it away. I think you would have found that your hearing specialist needed to adjust your hearing aid or com pilot settings to enable the mic. I guess the other possibility is that you did get a duff mic in either case I would give it another go

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

I have just read the other responders' more negative answers. I can't understand what they are saying. What "Bose device"? What trouble? What standard? There is a mic in there too, you know..! Can anyone of them enlighten me? I am truly interested in how I can get into trouble that I don't know about yet.... It might even help me with my SKYPE problem.

Where you get Skype from? I get my from Amazon and it doesn't work. Poor sound and stripes on other side.
