It is made of two pieces connected firmly together, one of them being a replacement for the smartphone's stock back plate, while the other is a flippy cover that protects the handset's entire front side. Putting the accessory on requires the removal of the phone's standard back cover and snapping the S View Cover in its place – a straightforward process that took us a few seconds to complete.

And if you're planning on getting the Samsung Galaxy S4, then there will surely be plenty of options to pick from. The official Samsung Galaxy S4 Flip Cover is one of them. Made by Samsung itself, it is meant to protect the smartphone's front side against damage, all the while retaining the device's out-of-the-box look and feel to a great extent. Think of the accessory as a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 back plate with a thin flip cover attached to it. The smartphone's original back cover is removed and the flip cover is snapped in its place. And it snaps firmly – so tight that you can rest assured it's never going to fall off accidentally...]]>NewsTue, 23 Apr 2013 04:40:00 -0500http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Flip-Cover-hands-on_id42239/commentsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/news/Hands-on-impressions-of-Facebook-Home-after-24-hours-of-use_id41876The testing of Facebook Home had to be delayed a bit, because it took the good fellows over at XDA a day to hack the app to run on my Nexus 4, but the testing has been done.

Granted, the S III is thinner, but that doesn't really feel as an advantage, rather the HTC One feels more solid in the hand because of the extra girth, and easier to grip.
