Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Pink)

I've had cell phones since they came in bags and were called bag phones. I recently ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 and in anticipation of it's arrival ordered this case, just so I'd have something to put it in. Now, having had it for several days, I'm very impressed. While it requires that you replace the back of the cell phone (save the original!!) it's not a big deal to install; just make sure that it snaps all the way 'round. Once installed (a 30-second operation at most) it takes a bit of use for the hinge to loosen up so that the cover falls naturally and completely over the screen. After that, it closes itself naturally when you flip it. The cover itself is very attractive. The front has a brushed look; the back looks very much like the stock phone back (which you never really see anyway.) The inside front cover is soft. The cover is a natural, tight fight and complements the phone. I can slip it into my pocket and feel like my phone is well-protected. It adds very little bulk and I discovered that it will still fit into the side holster I used for my old Droid Incredible 2. At the price I paid ($17), this was a worthwhile investment. I will wait to see how durable the hinge is. For now, I'm very pleased with it. Update: I've had the case for almost a month now and still love it. One thing I had to get used to: when actually using the phone as a phone I had to get into the habit of bending the cover back. It's almost a two-hand operation (for me at least) so it can be a little awkward. Still, I like the cover and am willing to live with this small inconvenience.

Replaces the back cover of the S4, so it does not add any thickness. The back is slick, so you have to fold t he cover all the way around to keep a grip on it. Also wish it would activate the screen when I open it like my tablet. Wishful thinking I know. It is exactly what I was looking for. I got the orange on to be able to see it when I look. The black covers disappear ob a desk top too easily.

I personally love the look of a flip cover. When I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S4 last week, I decided that this time around I am going to purchase a flip cover and I ended up purchasing this product which is produced by Samsung. After receiving the product I was very impressed. The build and finish of the product is very solid. To install the cover, you need to open the back cover of your phone and insert the back cover that is provided by the product, which the flip cover is attached to. The back cover provided was not the same design as my Galaxy S4 Black Mist from T-Mobile, however the designs were almost identical and the quality is exactly the same. The flip cover aligns and covers the screen perfectly. Under the flip cover is microfiber, which is very gentle on the screen and holds against the screen very well. The flip cover is very slim and does not add any thickness to the phone. The appearance is gorgeous. The satin stitching is done in one direction which causes beautiful light reflection. The cover is very simple but the simplicity is wonderful. However, nothing is perfect. Even though the cover is great, I have a few issues. The flip cover is very slim and seems to be very weak in durability. If someone were to bend the cover by mistake, it would be completely destroyed and ruined. For such a high price, I expected the cover to be made of plastic or a material more durable. Also, the cover does not stay on the screen and can move around while in your pocket. This causes a lot of debris and lint to enter inside the cover which ends up being stuck on the microfiber and that can lead to small scratches on the screen of your phone. My last issue is that when you install this product, the back cover has no protection. I do understand that is part of the design however it is very prone to being scratched, which can ruin the beauty of the Galaxy S4. I did end up returning this product because I've found a similar Smart Cover from a third party on Amazon, which protects the entire phone for the same price as this one. Overall, if you are looking for a slim, sleek, and beautiful flip cover then this is a great product for you. However, if you are looking for a durable cover, then I would avoid this one. Even though it is a bit pricey for only a flip cover, it is still a good product. I hope I have helped! If you have any question or comment, please feel free to contact me! UPDATE 6/22/2013 After almost two months of regular usage, the cover is still holding up very well. I just wanted to inform everyone to be aware of what company you purchase this product from. My friend purchased this product from a third party for a very low price and it turned out to be a counterfeit. If you prefer this case, I highly suggest you pay a little extra and purchase from amazon directly.

Love Love Love it!!! I love my new Samsung Galaxy s4 case...I got it in black and paid $14 and a few cents for it (plus tax & shipping). First of all, the product arrived one day earlier than estimated, the case was an original Samsung product box and when I opened it, the product looked exactly like the picture; new, no scratches, no stains, no malfunctions. Also, the back cover fits my phone and the front flap folds onto the screen of my phone perfectly. When I first installed my phone inside of it I realized that it probably wasn't made to bend all the way backward. I think that's the problem with a lot of the other reviews that weren't very positive. It is made to fold onto the screen and naturally bends forward so continually folding it all the way to the back is likely to cause it to not fold onto the screen of the phone properly. I love how sleek and elegant my phone looks now!!! Plus now I don't have to worry about smudges on the screen. I would recommend this product to other s4 owners...it does what it's supposed to do!

Look at the vendor before you buy anything...!!! It is bad that Amazon merge all the review from different vendor... We should add the vendor name when making a review (if Amazon can add that, it will be good) *** 08/10/2013 ================= 5 stars for Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Green) by Foster Ave. It is a Genuine Samsung Product with a holographic sticker. Everyone need to be careful when select the vender to buy. ***Total I bough 4 samsung galaxy s4 case : =========================================================== 1) Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Green) by "Foster Ave" is Genuine. 2) Samsung Protective Bumper Cover Plus Case for Galaxy S4 (White) by "Amazon" is Genuine. =========================================================== 3) Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Yellow) by "Nuye Inc" is China product, no holographic sticker. 4) Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Pink) by "joanna132" is China product, no holographic sticker and the material of this one is really bad... =========================================================== Even thought all of them are "Fulfilled by Amazon", but only "Foster Ave" sent me the Genuine one. Update 08/14/2013 ================= Re-order "Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover Folio Case (Yellow)" by Amazon and I am very happy with the Genuine product.

No one ever plans on dropping their phone, that is why this style case is useless. Its nice for pulling in and out of your pocket and not worrying about scratching the screen, if u don't have a screen protector, but that is it. I dropped my phone a few times and it landed on its back and the case exploded, which is okay, cause it softened the drop and the phone was fine, I just put the phone back it the case. Now the big problem and why I will never go with a portfolio type case again. I dropped the phone in a parking lot and it landed smack on the glass and shattered. I then realized that the flap didn't have a magnet of flap to keep in closed, dumb, you'd have thought you'd think of that. If the portfolio case had a high ridge so the glass was embedded a bit then my glass wouldn't have shattered. I've just looked at every portfolio type case out there and none of them address this problem, if you have it open and drop it, it's fifty fifty whether the flap closes or opens and the glass shatters. Like flipping a coin. My solution, buy a protective case with a stand, make sure the phone is embedded, and buy a screen protector.

Summary: This is a good quality case if you are interested in a flip-style cover. However, this style is not for me and I will not be using it and it was quickly retired. Pros: - This flip cover looks exactly as the pictures show. It fits well on the phone and is sleek and elegant. - Seems to be made of high quality material, with the exception of the battery cover, which is made with the exact same cheap shiny plastic as the stock battery cover. Cons: - It covers the volume rocker and the LED notification light. If you use either of those features regularly, this cover style is going to annoy you. - It is inconvenient if you use are a heavy camera user. While the flip case fits the phone very well, it does hinder your grip on the bottom edge of the phone if turned horizontally for photo and video capture. - The Galaxy S4 comes with many motion detection features that are rendered useless with a cover of this style. - It successfully protects the screen while flat, but the flap opens very easily. Also, the metallic edges are not protected at all by this case. If you drop your phone, the screen and corners are still vulnerable.

I love how my phone can be still slim and yet have some protection. Most of the time my phone sits on a table or desk and the cover keeps the dust light and wandering eyes from seeing what is happening with my screen. The case is feels soft yet durable. I would recommend this case to anybody who doesn't walk around with their phone in their hand. I don't think it will prevent it from breaking. It does keep eyes and fingerprints and dust from the screen. It is also so slim that when in your pocket or handbag it doesn't weigh it down or bulge out of it. I am going to be purchasing it in other colors!

es ist super gut es schützt sieht elegant und super aus und es ist sehr handlich und mach das handy nicht unnötig dicker

excellent and stylish. love the quality and colour.

This is the third case I have purchased for my Samsung Galaxy S4. The first was okay but I didn't like the silicone skin. The second I loved but it was white and immediately looked dirty. This flip cover is perfect. Looks good and was very affordable. Hope it is the last one I buy (for a while!).
