Galaxy S4 S View Flip Case issue

[pastech]

I bought an S-View Flip Case Cover for my Galaxy S4 (White), but it doesn't seem to close properly on the phone. Every time I close the cover, it's always raised about 1cm above the screen, a friend of mine has the same phone but with a normal Flip cover, and his closes properly every time... Any one else have these issues?

What the heck man... it cost R699, now it will NOT close properly...

Maybe take it back and change it?
I would also rather go for the flip cover with the window infront.

Also has that same issue...
My S3 cover has magnets that keeps it closed.
Doesn't have the little perspex window though, quite a nice feature for the case.
Just suck that it doesn't close properly or have something to keep it closed...

WTF? I was going to buy this as well. Why doesn't it close? :wtf:

Like these examples...:

Just return it mine fits like a glove.

I'm sure you have tried this, but make sure the left-side (flip-side) is clipped in properly.

So are people confirming the S-View cover does fit 100%?? The one Samsung gave out at Santon city this weekend??
Mine also lifts, but even the reviewer online says it lifts.

Annoying. I leave mine face down, hoping to train the cover to stay flat

Same issue for me. Nice cover, but no magnets to keep it closed properly. It will probably replace - too irritating.

Checked it out today at the Samsung store. It fits but the magnetic stuff ain't working right. You have to push it down. Seems like a bit of a fail :-/ I'll probably just get one of these now - http://www.takealot.com/cellular-gp...minium-pc-case-for-samsung-s4-silver,29565776

Mine has the same issue. What a waste.

Was going to buy one. Saw it for R699, but this place has it much cheaper.

Guys, the issue is sorted out. Took it back to the store and I hadnt clipped it in properly. You wont notice it at first but the sides need to be clipped in. Works fine now.

I'm trying to decide between this case (it's cheap on Amazon) and this one - http://www.takealot.com/cellular-gp...n-fiber-pc-case-for-samsung-s4-white,29565779

Wonder which one will protect the phone better.

I like the amazon one! Just make sure the postage doesn't make it as expensive as buying from south Africa.

Is there any local shop that sells the S Cover?

 

[Mercury12]

Mercurial, are you getting it on contract? Cellc gave it to me when I signed with them. The store in Sandton had stock, I'm sure cellc stores in ct will have. I'm not a fan of flip cases though, find it a bit awkward to use the phone naturally. I'm using it because I don't have anything else, but that's just a personal opinion. Maybe go to the cellc store and ask them if they have an open one to try on first.

Completely off topic, moved to Joburg two months ago.Missing ct like mad atm. Flip, why did I even move

 

[mercurial]

Contract yes. Maybe they will give one with but I doubt it.

Not the case with mine, it IS clipped in properly, but still won't close completely... Contacted Samsung SA, they told me to take it back to the store, they HAVE to swap it out or give me a refund...
