The desire to keep yours for a long time mobile phone, will definitely lead to the decision to enclose it in a reliable and beautiful case. To the delight of users, it has been adjusted serial production cases suitable for each specific brand or universal use - suitable for almost all gadgets.

Phone cases can vary in color and material, but all should provide accessibility to controls and screens. Therefore, covers with a window are the most popular. On our website you can see various , there are also a lot of interesting things for gadgets Xiaomi. The creators seem to have thought about everything, but a situation may still arise whenThe cover with the window does not work.In this case, first of all, you need to check the screen settings to see if locks.

The principle of operation of a cover with a window

The principle of operation of a cover with a window is simple. When they developed phone protection, the creators thought of a function in whichcover book with windowprovides convenient and maximum accessibility to the screen. To do this, a window is left on the front panel, into which thin and transparent plastic is inserted. Thus, the owner of the phone has the opportunity to use, as usual, all the functions - see notifications, answer calls and make calls independently, determine the time and date, control the battery charge level, use the camera and all this without opening the case, thanks to flip cover.

How to set up a screen for a case with a window

Setting up the screen for the case can be seen in the following example:how the S View case for Samsung works.In general, this is a familiar book case, in the upper part of which there is a rectangular window cut out with inserted transparent plastic. Thanks to him, all the necessary information becomes available. This case is applicable to new phone models, but for other, earlier versions, the S View - HatRoid application is used. The difference is that the S View uses special magnetic sensors, while the S View - HatRoid uses proximity sensors, as in all modern smartphones. Therefore, the application is suitable for working with any case.

Use window case applicationnot difficult. When the program is installed and launched, you will see three buttons in the application window. The S View service starts or stops first. The second provides precise adjustment of the position of the panels, on which all the necessary information is concentrated. You need to select a panel and use the arrows to move it. The third button is used to access application settings. You can set the time for receiving information, turn on the function of automatically reviving the screen when you open the case and, conversely, fading when closing, and others.

Sometimes it is quite difficult to protect your smartphone from external damage, especially the display. Therefore, we decided to tell you about one interesting accessory that can provide maximum protection your Galaxy S4 smartphone. Although we have already talked about it more than once, but not as closely as now.

Yes, today there are a lot of different cases, so there is plenty to choose from. But few of them are truly interesting accessories. Our current protective case is called the S-View Cover and it is intended only for the original Galaxy S4.

The main feature of the S-View Cover is a convenient hinged cover that perfectly protects the display without interfering with your view. And this is very useful feature in everyday life.

So, this is what our S-View Cover looks like:

On the very front flap there is a small transparent window made of hard plastic. And from the inside of the rear panel there are several interesting details that should be discussed in more detail.

The back cover shows signs of plastic injection molding - an industrial method of creating polymer parts. Polycarbonate was used here. You can also see the dark gray part in the photo above. With its help, the smartphone “knows” that it is wearing an S-View Cover. In addition, it receives information from the proximity sensor. The principle of operation of the sensor is that when the lid is closed, the smartphone is given a signal to turn on a special part of the display, which shows the time and sent notifications. When the lid is opened, the smartphone goes into normal mode work.

Also, opening the lid will automatically unlock the screen, unless, of course, you have a password set.

Please note that the lid opens very easily as there is nothing holding it in place. Plus, you won't need to open it very often. You can even answer calls using the window on the front panel of the case.

You just at the sight incoming call drag the corresponding icon to accept or reject the call. The downside to this feature is that it doesn't work if you want to put a call on hold.

However, these are not all the notifications that can be displayed in this window:

As for the appearance of the case, it is made in an interesting gray color. In addition, on the front cover of the S-View Cover there is the name of the smartphone – Galaxy S4.

The inside of the case is made of a material that is pleasant to the touch. And in order for the S-View Cover to fit snugly against the smartphone, there is a special recess inside the lower part of the front panel for Home buttons.

The case also has all the other necessary slots - for speakers, camera, flash, etc. They are cut exactly to size so as not to interfere with the use of your smartphone.

In practice, it turned out that the S-View Cover is actually a very convenient accessory. The only thing missing is an additional hole for LED notifications. We hope that a case with these additional slots will appear soon. We also noticed that it is not very convenient to operate the volume buttons when the smartphone is in the case. These are the only two problems that we didn’t really like. But such an accessory is not too cheap - 44.90 euros. The high cost is mainly due to the Hall sensor.

The accessory is available in two colors – gray and white. Apart from minor shortcomings, we did not identify any more disadvantages. One of the positive aspects of the S-View Cover would be the convenient control of the smartphone while the cover is closed. Plus the display is perfectly protected. If you weigh all the pros and cons of the S-View Cover, the price actually doesn't seem that high.

To ensure ease of use and maximum accessibility of the screen, a unique book case has been developed, on the front panel of which there is a window made of thin and transparent plastic. Its synchronization with a smartphone allows the owner to use key functions phone without opening the top cover: make voice calls, view messages, take photos using the main camera, monitor the charging level.

When creating a case for its autumn flagship Xperia Z3, Sony decided to listen to current trends in this domain. Among competitors, such solutions have been in use for quite some time and are quite popular. A striking example is Samsung, because they were the first to come up with and make a branded flip case with a “smart” window.

And I must say this idea and what it gives, many users liked and received a response. People began to buy such cases, primarily because of the good protection, since there is no need to glue a film to the screen, which irritates many. And secondly, because of the level of comfort that this very “smart” window provides.

Therefore, Sony in this regard did not invent something “like that” just like that, but used basically the same concept in Smart Window Cover - a side flip with a window covered with transparent plastic. But the Japanese were able to come up with enough original way mounts for your accessory, but more on that later.

First, let's look at the packaging and appearance Sony SCR24 case.

Packaging and appearance

The case comes in a cardboard, thin rectangular box, designed in the general Sony style, approximately the same as seen in all current company products in 2014. In addition to the case itself, the box contained a plastic mold for the Dk48 docking station, made with a wider opening to take into account the increased thickness of the smartphone.

The design of the SCR24, even taking into account the secondary idea, can be safely called stylish and eye-catching. The case looks nice and neat, especially the white version. In addition, the case is available in three other colors: black, mint and some kind of copper shade.

The case is made of a material that is pleasant to the touch; its texture and tactile sensations resemble eco-leather or back cover Galaxy Note 4. If you take a white case, be prepared for the accessory to rub a little around the edges, especially if you carry your device in your pockets.

The location for the smart window is probably chosen correctly, exactly in the middle of the front cover. Made specifically for easy user control home screen without stretching your fingers.

There are several important elements on the inside of the front of the accessory:

• Magnet located on top. Necessary for adequate activation of Smart Window mode;
• NFC tag. Required for correct first activation. When synced, sends you to the page Google Play with a special theme for the Smart Window Style home screen;
• Rubber pads protect the screen from impacts, scratches and rubbing.

The method of attaching the SCR24 to the Xperia Z3 is perhaps the most original thing in the case. No clips, replaceable covers or anything like that. It's just a reusable self-adhesive surface. At first, this was a little confusing, I didn’t expect that the accessory would be attached exactly like that, I was afraid for the durability of the fastening. But after a couple of weeks I became convinced of both the reliability of this decision and its correctness.

The fact is that due to the fact that there are no special fastening elements, only an adhesive surface, the cover turned out to be very thin and light. A phone dressed in SCR24 can easily be stuffed into the front pockets of jeans and you won’t feel any particular difference, as if the Xperia Z3 was without a case at all. are beautifully and clearly demonstrated in the screenshots below. I would just like to clarify that the initial screen of the “smart window” works in both vertical and horizontal orientation.

The most important thing to understand is that you will undoubtedly have to get used to this case for the Xperia Z3 and working with the smart window. As elsewhere, it has its own conventions and features that are revealed during operation.

To begin with, you will have to get used to working with the screen in the SCR24 smart window mode, since the sensitivity of the touchscreen through a transparent screen, although not much, drops. This is noticeable, so you have to press/swipe with your finger more firmly and accurately. Then, get used to not opening the flip when making a call, but using the Smart Window Cover home screen.

In addition, if you like to take a lot of photographs, you will also have to get used to folding the front cover down before shooting or get the hang of taking the shots you need through the square window.

I admit, at first it was annoying that some kind of case, even if it was branded and specifically for the Xperia Z3, almost dictated how I should use it, imposing unusual restrictions. But after a short adaptation period I realized all the advantages of SCR24:

• There is no point in putting films on the display, protective glass practically does not scratch;
• The screen surface becomes much less dirty if you take full advantage of the Xperia Smart Window functionality;
• You can put your phone anywhere, either side, without thinking about the consequences;
• Improves usability music player, due to the increased controls of the smart window interface.

Of the obvious shortcomings, I will only note:

• The absence of a hole for the LED indicator is an obvious defect; in future versions for new Sony flagships They definitely need to fix it.

And as a wish, I would like the side flip to be completely magnetic and cling to the glass itself, following the example original covers for Apple iPad.

***

A small conclusion - the SCR24 case is an interesting and pleasant addition to the phone, in some ways adding comfort, and in others forcing you to change your established habits.

The product is not without flaws, but with obvious advantages that are difficult not to notice. If you, as an Xperia Z3 user, are looking for a beautiful and functional case for your phone, then the choice towards the branded SCR24 is obvious.
