How does locking the phone work? If the case is closed i can see through the little window on the case and interact, is that a lockscreen app of some sort? If I open the case, will it simply open to where I was previously, or my home screen of choice (Nova launcher)?
I wanna be a bit more clear on the software side of the workings of the s-view case before purchase. I recently bought my note 3 and updated to 4.4 already.
Thank you.
I used Spigen Slim Armor View and also have original S-View cover, but I dont think I could explain it in details.
I suggest to browse youtube for good overview on how S-View works because only pictures can explain otherwise there will be so many miss assumptions/understading in discussions. , you can post questions on youtube as well to get answer from on hands experience users.

If you close the cover, it will automatically lock but the screen will stay on for a few seconds.
When you open the cover, it will automatically unlock and you will go back to where you where before locking the phone (this can be truned off in the settings so that opening the cover takes you to the lockscreen).
If you press the power button with the cover closed, you will be taken to specialized interface in the window.
It shows you information like time, weather, missed calls, messages, number of steps walked (integrated with S Health).
You can check the missed calls and messages, take photos, control your music and make a note in action memo.
That's about it, I guess.
Alright, thanks for the responses.
My only fear was that the "specialized interface" with the cover closed (with missed calls, messages, weather, etc) is a touchwiz thing, so in other words I would need to use touchwiz as my launcher for it to work.
I guess that's not the case then, and using Nova or any other launcher is not a problem, the special interface still works.

You just need a touchwiz based ROM. Not the launcher itself.
Guys, anybody knows any third-party S-View cover which has smart functions (awake on open and sleep on close) without third-party driver app?

Try s view plus. Works ok on the s5
I was using my s-view perfectly a few days ago, I havent installed anything that would mess with the s-view I did have a xposed mod for s view installed but not activated though.
Just when I recieved a call today the screen on the s-view showed this instead of the cool s-view screen, its the normal call screen only..compressed. so what exactly made my phone do this?

I'm thinking of upgrading to a VZW S5 from my old Note 2 (which I love, but which I've finally decided is too big and I need the waterproofing).
Anyway, one question I have which I haven't easily found an answer to:
Can the VZW S5 show notifications on its lockscreen? From any app?
I know there are third party apps to do this like Locker Pro 2 and Slide Lock, but I would prefer if it was a capability that was already built-in.

Running the latest update, I get "New Message" notifications. I believe there's a setting to display the contents as well.
Go to messages click on the 3 Lil squares on the upper right hand side. Scroll to notifications click on it scroll down . then check off pop up display,lock screen,status bar. And your good to go.
