The case looks and feels great. The flap takes a while to break in, but once you get used to it, it's a great case that adds a bit more functionality and protection without adding much bulk at all. I really don't think that there's a better folio case out there for the Galaxy S5 that is even close to this thin.

This is a high quality Samsung cover that protects my S5, while allowing quick glances for messages or notifications through the S-View window without opening the cover itself. This item is custom designed for Samsung's line of S5/S6/S7 and Note smartphones, and offers a 'tailored' fit for all the buttons and openings. This cover replaces the phone's back cover, and utilizes builtin connectors in back that activate the S-View screen mode. This allows primary content such as time, and notifications to be displayed within the S-View window without having to open the cover itself. The backgrounds within the S-View window offer a few choices, including images from your phone's picture gallery. The camera can be activated with a swipe to allow quick, one off impromptu pictures holding the phone vertically. You'd still have to open the cover to expose landscape mode, as well as the full range of camera settings however. Overall, this is a nice looking, tailor fit Samsung cover that protects your expensive device. It's actually slimmer using this cover than other aftermarket one's if you like to place the phone in your pants or jacket pocket. I'd say it offers a bit of a premium feel as you pull it out due to the slim design and leather material, and looks distinctive in the electric blue color compared to so many other smartphones in black covers.
It's up to the purchaser to decide how often they use the camera and various apps, and might find it less than convenient to open and close the cover to expose full screen mode and all the functions. For the office routine it's perfect for at a glance updates, it became less convenient on a recent overseas vacation trying to take numerous landscape and family photo's opening and closing the cover, while trying to manage a point and shoot camera as well. For this purpose, I also have a gel type, one piece cover that doesn't protect as well, but is easier popping in and out of the pocket with one hand.
For the current sale price of $10, along with the choice of colors, this is a great purchase :)

Not the best of worst case

Because it's made by Samsung this case is obviously one of the best fitting flip covers for the s5. It's compact and it adds some nice features like quick glance without opening the device. It even responds well to the cases features. But the big draw back is that you can't get the flip case to shut all the way. It just dangles slightly above the screen when sitting flat on a desk. This became so annoying that I simply could not continue using the case and opted for something better.

Works well, feels nice, somehow your finger works through the glass on the front, which i think is cool. it keeps your screen safe.
The only things i dont like about it is that it takes a while to break it in to the point where it will even begin to close itself and it smudges easily. also, if you take a picture with the cover shut, it's only in the resolution of that square. if you take one with it open, your lens is looking though the smudges. if you're like me, it will likely hang down awkwardly when you take most photos

I personally would not buy this (not my color), but I bought it for my girlfriend's Galaxy S5, and she loves it! It's very high quality, and a genuine Samsung product. It's nice how it actually replaces the back cover on the phone (you remove the back cover, and this snaps onto the phone itself).

This case fits perfectly and does what it's supposed to. I wish I bought it right when I bought my phone because I noticed i have a slight scratch on my screen, which this case would have prevented. People have complained that it does not stay closed, but I have found that if you lay the case on its face, it will correct that. I do however plan to buy the Spigen magnetic clip so that if I ever drop the phone it will remain closed during the fall.

This is my second S view case! I have the blue and the black case. They are great! They look great and don't add any excess bulk to the phone! I might get another color soon!

I like this cover because it does not add to the size/weight of the phone. It is made by Samsung to replace the phone's original back cover and the front flap protects the screen. It also maintains the waterproof/dustproof features of the S5. Since I usually carry my phone in my purse, it is adequate protection. You still have easy access to all the phone functions. Sometimes I find it a little awkward to use with the camera as I have to hold it with both hands. This case would probably not be great if you are rough on your phone or have a tendency to drop it.

Case is a cool idea, but makes holding phone to text or use in landscape mode difficult and awkward. Really dislike that the case pops off so easy from only minor drops. Only used for a month, due to battery falling out after case pops off from minor drops. Happened 3 times. Window collects fingerprints worse than phone. Case does not stay shut when phone faces up, which causes delays in operation from phone being confused whether case is open or shut.

I bought this because of the way it works, it protects the phone but still allows access to messaged and the camera throw the small window. This plus a screen protector offer great protection for the phone.

The case brings some added functionality to the screen when opening and closing the cover. The case becomes the back cover for the phone. I am not too crazy about that option. The case has a good feel and is very durable, however, if you drop it the phone and battery does come apart. The front view camera is hidden when the case is closed. The only way to take pictures is by using the rear camera. Other cases make it hard to charge a phone, but this one provides easy access to the port.

I love this case. It provides protection to the screen but is not at all bulky nor muffles sound like another one I tried. I am going to buy more in other colors!

The case does work beautifully with the phone's wakeup feature. HOWEVER, I had to purchase a magnetic clip elsewhere to keep the cover closed. This is important because otherwise, in a bag/purse/pocket it moves around and uses up a bit more battery. Especially for the high price, this seems like a silly omission. There are also times where I have wished that the case folded differently or allowed for a "stand" type feature. Overall, a good caae.

I was hesitant to purchase this case at first, and bought a different brand one that clipped on to the back of the phone and had a magnetic close, because I had read other comments regarding this case about the front flap not staying shut. However, I found it more cumbersome to open a magnetic flap, and I thought the color of this one was gorgeous (and I'm usually one to stick to black), so I gave in and ordered it. I love how it replaces the back plastic of the actual phone body, saving on a bit of space, the color is just as beautiful as it seems online, and i love the functionality I get with the case shut. A huge asset was being able to take pictures without needing to open the front. They are easy to take and come out just as well as when I take the time to open the phone. No longer am I missing "in the moment" photos that would otherwise have been lost to time or the subject noticing me fumbling with my case. I also thought I would only be able to use the geometric samsung backgrounds with this case on and closed, but you can use any image on your phone, in addition to a large selection of different colored geometric ones. Now I just need to find a mount that will hold the phone with the case nicely in my car, and I'll be 100% satisfied.
