Hey, anybody had issues with the proximity sensor on the iPhone 4 being blocked by this case, currently having that problem...

No idea about the sensor issue. I sent my case back almost imeadiatly since it's of poor quality, not leather & selling of oil.

There is a sensor located in the top left of the phone, under the screen. This is the sensor that determines when the phone is near your face. It blacks the screen out when close, and turns it on when it is distant (so you don't hang up on your call with your cheek). My guess is when you reassembled the phone, it didn't go back in quite right. I would try opening the case up and making sure it is aligned correctly.

If you still don't have any luck, I can try to post a video this weekend of how to lock it in. It's really a secure case in that respect. I've dropped my ipad so many times and it remains securely in the case. Let me know if you think a video would help or if you've just moved on entirely :-)

I have the iphone5 so not sure about the sensor, but I would assume it would be fine as there is a circle cut out for the "home" button. Touch responce is about the same with other screen protectors, I can not notice any significant delay.

I believe it has something to do with the way the replacement screen fits on your phone. It blocks the sensor that determines how close your face is to the screen.

I have the 5, so I don't have the new fingerprint recognition, but I've heard others say the same thing, including my sister-in-law. I think it blocks the fingerprint access panel and I believe it says something about that in an insert they shipped with the case.

to answer your question not that I noticed, my phone worked just fine with the case on....I really love that case ......

Dear customer Stephen, from my experience, I do not think it is due to installation of the S-View Cover! My phone works perfect with a similar cover! Please try to find out another fault or cause! thanks.

I've never had that problem. My only issue is the case blocking my signal at times.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

Unfortunately, I am unable to answer with 100% accuracy because I bought as a gift......BUT I am fairly certain that it has to do with the fact that it is less cumbersome and much easier to respond to "touch." I am not the most savvy with tech accessory issues, but I know that most of my co-workers have this case......hope this helps some!!

Yeah I'm having this problem.....Honestly....It's stupid. Why can't otterbox fix the problem. I just ripped the built in screen cover and threw on an invisheild and it works fine...Hope this helps everyone else.

The iOS 4 issue seems to be fixed by resetting the phone. See the docs for how to do this (or google).

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though. I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

Hmmm... I didn't really have a problem, but I've only taken it out once. I pretty much just "peeled it out". I sort of took the top two corners and bent them a bit backwards so that the ipad would pop out. I know the case doesn't really flex much but that is the best way I can describe it. Sorry I can't be of better help. I just keep mine in the case.

Yes, I didn't have an issue. It's a great case! Just make sure and buy a screen protector.

Somewhat it does block camera actions for Iphone 4/4s users. I noticed that if I take a picture of anything without the flash the case is not a problem and does not block out anything, but when I have my camera with flash mode it does block out around the corners of the picture and makes the picture seem blurry or as though I have edited the picture with some kind of glassy/glossy look. Either way in the end, the camera does not block out camera features but just make sure to remove the case when taking a photo with flash is needed. Any more questions please ask :)
