Samsung has developed a ton of accessories for it’s latest flagship smartphone the Galaxy S4, we review the Galaxy S4 Smart Dock a few weeks ago and today we have with us the official Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Cover.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Cover instead of functioning as just a plain cover for your expensive smartphone includes a touch capable front windows and a sensor making it one of the first of it’s kind. The front touch window is a great idea and reminds me of the old Motorola RAZR flip phone and how it displayed information on the front screen.
Similar to previous flip covers for older Samsung phones, the S-View cover for the Galaxy S4 also replaces your phone’s battery door which is attached to a cover at the front. The front cover though is special as it has a cut out area at the top used to display selected information. The idea here is to enable users to view simple information like the time without flipping open the cover. The overall design of the cover is similar the iPad’s smart covers.
The front window is also touch responsive so you can use some the touchscreen to some extent. Some of the functions include answering calls by sliding to the right.
Overall it’s a much welcomed innovation for smartphone covers that we would love to see in the future. TechDeville gives the Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Cover 4/5 stars and you can grab one from here.
