This is the second S-view cover I purchased. I am very satisfied
with my first S- View Flip cover for my S6, sleek, classy look, that
is why I got another one for my S8. Very easy to wipe clean. My S6
cover still looks new after daily use for over 3 years. Got compliments on these covers too.

But it interferes with the Samsung S8. Home & Lock Screens don't load right since I started using this cover.
I took it off & the phone is Fine.

Overall, I like this case. I looks and feels well made and there's a bit of tech involved with the front case which adds to its functionality instead of just being a screen protector.
I haven't dropped my phone, nor do I plan to, so I can speak to how well it works but I believe it will. The main draw back is it adds considerable bulk to your phone so if you carry it in pocket, it stands out quite a bit more

I got this phone case to help protect against screen damage due to drops, to help protect glass phone. Cover case is stylish and sleek but is slippery at times.

Fits the phone like a glove. Transparent cover offers protection while still providing pass-thru access to phone screen to answer calls and manage music playback. Also has a nice kickstand option for viewing the phone at rest. It is rather thick and makes the fingerprint reader is hard to access. All and all a good case, but there are some compromises to made for using it.

I liked the ability of this case to show the time through the front cover. The cover could swing to the back so I could put the phone in my mounted cell phone holder in my car. I used the case for a month. I needed a case with pockets for credit cards, so this case is waiting for a day I only need to protect my cell phone.

I think this is one of the best techie case for my Samsung galaxy s8. The phone fits very well I. The case and the cover will display the date/time, and notifications. You can also answer an incoming call and control your music from the cover screen. The only drawbacks are that the case doesn't have a clip, the cover will open if it isn't lying on it's back, and when you use it like a stand it doesn't lock and the edge that supports the screen in this option is very small. Besides that I love it

I like how opening and closing the cover turns the screen on and off, plus it provides some screen protection. Hard to use fingerprint scanner though since only my left index finger is normally easy to scan. Using camera is a pain with the flip cover. It also seems to have a noticeable effect on battery life.

The S-View Flip Covers are my favorite phone cover - I had a whole "wardrobe" of them for my previous phone. They proved to protect my phone very well - I dropped it often enough to prove that. I very much enjoy the Samsung S-View Flip Cover for my new Samsung S8 phone and am pleased that it's the same color as my phone. I also like that the cover is actually translucent - though it looks opaque - so it's possible to see caller ID, etc., without opening the cover. When I walked into my local Verizon store some of the reps were excited to see it and thought it was a nice cover.
My only con for this cover is that - by necessity - the side is "loose" so that the cover will open & close without causing undue wear & tear, which makes holding it a little awkward when talking on the phone due to it moves around a lot.. Perhaps it could be held in place with a magnetic closure when open. Just a thought.

This case is great. It fits the phone very tightly and the see through cover works very well. Being able to use it as a stand as well definitely is a plus. The only downside is the price, but the case itself is fantastic.

This is a very beautifully designed and sleek phone, it has all the modern features youd expect to see on any new device. The AMOLED display is displays beautiful colors. only thing ive found that i dont like is one handed use, my palm touches the side of the display, making accidental touches.

First, the color is calming. The case adds very little weight or dimension to the phone. Like the constant protection and being able to view time, date, alarms, other basic info effortlessly..

I received this case as part of a promotion. I had purchased the keyboard case due to a hand tremor. I LOVE this case. You can answer or end the call without opening the flip cover and you can talk on the phone without the flip cover closed. The time shows up as well as icons too.
