Does this case allow the speakers to sound fully or does it muffle the sound?

There are slots on the side so that it does not cover the speakers. The sound is not muffled. I purchased it for my Galaxy Tablet 3.

Yes. However, the volume of your ring tone or speakers won't be as loud due to the case coverage.

The case has an opening at the bottom around the speaker, revealing about 4 rows (from the bottom) of the speaker. The case does cover the rest of the speaker, but i still find the sound to be loud & clear. For reference, I have an iPad2.

It muffles the noise quite a bit. The clarity of the sound is definitely affected.

It does cover the speaker but with a "tunnel-like" design so it carries out the sound. I actually think it sounds way better.

There are no "flaps" covering the speakers like the ones that cover the plug in locations. The case itself does cover the speakers but have cut outs where the speakers are and have screens to help protect the speakers. It does not affect volume or quality in any way. You won't be sorry going with the case! Best one I've had!

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

I haven't experienced any problems with this case. The volume and sound quality haven't been affected as far as I've noticed. I am very pleased wih mine.

No. It will not block out the sound completely but it will muffle it (equivalent to holding a pillow over your ears).

The case does cover the volume switches.. however I have not come across any problems with the switches registering and changing the volume up and down as needed when I press the + and - volume keys

I'm not too sure. It may dampen the sound. On my Excite, the speakers are on the bottom in landscape mode and not on the back, so speakers are not blocked. If your speakers are on the back, you may want to skip this case.

I personally have no problem hearing anything. It sounds great. No problems with the screen protector either. All around great case. �

I use a $5.00 7" generic case bought from BigLots. When looking at cases just remember that the speakers are on the side, so you have to make sure the case doesn't block them. :)

I find the sound volume better with this case on. Without the case the glass back is so smooth it is basically unheard. With the case on, the speaker is lifted and can be heard much better.

There are narrow slits cut into the case to allow for the speakers to be heard, rather well, I might add.

It should not muffle your voice more than any other case since the holes in mine align perfectly with the microphone as well as with all the other holes...
