iRainy S View Flip Cover Case [w/ Auto Wake] - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

So I didn't see any threads for this iRainy case that I found on Amazon. It claims to be a "S View Flip Cover Smart Folio Case for Samsung With Auto Wake Function". I'm thinking about ordering it until my Spigen Neo Hybrid comes in to see what it's about.
I figured I'd start a thread for questions on it and because I figured some people might consider this versus the $60 Official Samsung S View case.

Review (in progress):
First Impressions -
Build Quality: 9
Ergonomics/feel: 8
Functionality: 9
So I want to use it for a week or so before I make my final conclusions, but my first impressions are very high. The build is solid, the functionality is spot on (I was a skeptic as well), and the feel is pretty premium for a replica/generic brand. So far I'm very happy to have spent 9.99 for this.
TL; DR In the pictures you can make note of the main big questions:
1. The IC chip is present and fully functioning.
2. The case is snug but not as drastic as some reviews and people would have you think. I think it's appropriate for the style of case.
3. All S View functions activate (power on) and deactivate upon opening case.
4. The volume up and down indicators are present.
5. S View window is nice and sensitive, s pan tested through screen protector and view window.
More impressions to come as I actually use it. As of today I fully recommend it. Might pick up another color.
{Update 12/04/2013}
Conclusion: So after a few days of using the case. I definitely recommend it. It has held up well. The functionality is spot on and has no issues. The feel and look of the case is pretty nice. The only con really is getting used to the plastic view screen because it can get smudged on the inside and outside. Otherwise, great case.

Yeah I noticed that as well. The Yesoo one has in all pics. I figured I'd get and if it has I'll report back. If anyone else gets report back with results, color, etc.
Update: just ordered mine in blue!

In to hear how it actually works. It bothers me that on all the pics showing the window function the sticker is still on it.

It's what connects with the Note 3 in order to enable the S-View functions (the little square window, etc.).
Could you please share some more photos, including the whole thing (opened, closed, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

+1 At $10 this thing is a steal compared to the official Samsung view case... but I need to hear some actual reviews before I go wasting money.

Thay can't ship to Italy

I just bought all the nice colors although I already have the official white s view case, still I spent just half the price of the official case!

On eBay you can also find them. Maybe a bit more ($15), but with free shipping worldwide.

These looks very interesting. I use a TPU case now that fits in my Samsung generic multimedia dock and an iOttie XL car dock. I'd like to know if these cases will fit in these docks when the cover is folded around the back of the phone. Some pictures of one folded back would help.

Are you sure it came with the pin it shows on ebay it doesn't have the pins

If it's working it has the pins for sure, I got a yesoo one and works great btw and I believe this one here is same in quality pretty decent for the money

Mine should hopefully be here today. Will post up some better pics when it gets here.

I ordered one blue and one orange irainy a couple days ago. Now the listing has been changed and the pictures of the orange one show the half orange half yellow design. That's not what I ordered. What recourse do you think I have since amazon tends to side with the customer?
