It's the best cover out there as of today (December 2013) yet this is not at all great
By R. O. Lizardo
I've had this phone almost 2 months now and this s-view cover almost same time since I got the cover less than a week after I got the phone.
It is a very nice looking cover that doesn't add bulk to the already big phone. However it's definitely not great. Here's pros and cons
Pros
* It looks really nice
* It's very slim
* I can access some useful functions without opening the cover - take a picture, read txt msg, write a memo using S pen, check the current weather, play mp3 music, check walking mate's step count
Cons
* Very expensive for what it is
* at this price, I would expect real leather
* I have white, and it gets dirty (although it's vinyl and I can wipe off most of dirty stuff, but somehow it has a stain I can't get rid of)
* I've had it for almost 2 months and the corners are worn out
* when I drop the phone the cover flips open, and if it hits the ground at a wrong angle the cover will completely fall out causing the battery to fall out as well
* now you have 2 screens to clean
* the cover doesn't stay open, and it doesn't stay closed
* It's very rectangle (holding the phone for some time using my pinky finger on the bottom hurts my finger because the corner's not that roundy)
Will I buy it again? not sure.
I will probably buy it in different color when this white one gets really dirty and if I have no other option. I really like having the view window and I really love how this cover doesn't add any bulk to the phone.
Hopefully somebody makes covers for note 3 when I need a new one.
I need one that's slim, and stays open when i open it, and stays closed when I close it.
Seriously, the cover not closing is annoying. When I'm done using the device I would like to put down the phone on the table facing up without getting annoyed by the cover standing up.

EXPENSIVE (but nice)
By Kevin S.
Pros: Does not add much bulk to the phone. The S-View cover allows you to take pictures, answer phone calls, and control your music without opening (and unlocking) your phone. Allows limited S-pen functionality through the window.
Cons: PRICE!!!! Cheap plastic feel. Does not include wireless charging. Phone protection -- the case provides limited protection to the phone frame in case of a drop. (Screen protection is good since it is a folio.)
I have tried three folio type cases for my new Note 3. The S-View is definitely the nicest, but it also doesn't protect the phone very well from drops. The price is much too high (and cost a star in my review) for a cheap feeling plastic case. By replacing the back cover with this case, the bulk was minimized and the case doesn't get in the way of functionality.
The case includes circuitry to keep the NFC working, but it doesn't add the wireless charging capability. For $60 I would expect them to add wireless charging as well.
Overall, I like the case. I would recommend it to someone, but I would also recommend that they look for discounts (thanks Amazon). I would also warn against clones because some features may be missing (NFC and S-Pen support).

Nice but not as functional as others out there
By Bryan Lao
I'd honestly say it's more of a 3.5. Kind of inbetween okay and I like it.
Pros:
Nice, slim look
Very nice feel; almost leather feel
Replaces original backing of phone so still looks thin
Good/Bad:
Looks like a super fancy gameboy/tablet. So square, doesnt look like a phone when closed
Cons:
No magnet to hold front lid
Now requires two hands (one to keep the lid open)
Front screen is cool but I just don't use it that often. I will just usually open the case
Offers little protection
TLDR; I'd rather go with functionality but if you just want a super sleek look with a cool little gadge, then this might be the case for you
