Spigen Slim Armor View for Note 3 - INITIAL REVIEW & OBSERVATION
Common nga naa available sa mga local shops are the Samsung Wallet Flip Cover nga plain screen cover ra and the S View Cover that gives you a basic access to phone while the screen cover is closed.
What I dont like sa Samsung nga cover is, firstly, you need to replace the back cover of your N3 to attach the case. As the screen cover of the case is prone to twist and bend, the strain is transferred to the latches that keeps the back cover in place. Secondly, the screen cover has not latch or strap to secure it sa unit.
I checked for some outdoor type cover and found Trident Kraken AMS and SPG Slim Armor View. Eventually I chose SPG. It provides a flip cover protection with S View feature but the back shell wraps around the whole N3 unit. To enable the S View feature however, kinahanglan gyapon nimo tangtangon ang back cover sa unit.
QUALITY & PERFORMANCE
The case has a perfect fit to the unit. Medyo lisod lang gamay when you first slip the N3 inside the case especially sa power and volume bottons. There is a decent seal between the case edges and the N3 edges both on the screen and the camera port at the back as well as the ports.
The case provides a good 360 degrees bump and scratch protection. Not splash and dust proof though kay open ang mga ports (audio, USB, mic, etc.). Ang screen cover latches in place when you close it and needs a bit of nudging to open it back. Not so handy for those who keeps on opening and closing the cover. Same for those who have large fingers.
The case has an elegant matte black finish. Be sure you have cleans fingers when you handle it because its an oil and fingerprint magnet! Same with the S View window.
S View window works but not as sensitive as the screen itself. Screen turns on when you open the front cover and switches to S view when you close the front cover.
I'll post more photos later.
COUNTERFEIT NOTICE
If you are a prospect buyer of the Slim Armor View, be aware of counterfeit that is already circulating. I've seen one and what catches my attention is th bigger front button as compared to the genuine case.
Spigen has a website that allows you to check whether the unit you purchase is genuine or not.
