Is the speaker area on the bottom open? The last case I had was covered on bottom and no one could understand what I was saying.

Speakers, charging port, and headphone jack is open & surrounded by the rubber part of the case. No issue with sound.

Yes, it is. This case doesn't have the extra piece that you open and close like my old Otterbox did. Speakers and ports are open on the bottom. It is very streamlined.

The speaker area is open and I have had no issues. Everyone can hear me clear. I have posted photos of the bottom part with the speaker so you are able to see its open.

I think it's because the case completely seals the phone. You can hear your calls, but sometimes it will be difficult. For example in noisy places. I've never had a problem with callers unable to hear me. The mic (where you speak into) and the speakers at he bottom have a special opening that allows sound in & out but is still sealed. The part you place by your ear is plastic. I think that is why hearing calls can sometimes be iffy.

Which case? Are you referring to the case on your iphone? If yes, I never put the case in the middle of the speakers the way it is shown, so I never needed to take off the iphone case.

Dear Abhishek,Thank you for your post. The speaker is indeed covered by holes, which allows the sound to travel through the holes while still protecting it from getting damaged more easily (i.e., food, dust, sharp objects, etc). Please feel free to message us again if you have any additional questions or concerns. Best,Ryan

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and it has the opening for the mic, so it appears they fixed the problem. Great case, this is my third one for different phones.

The headphone plugin peeps out at the top corner, if you put the phone in that way. There's no 'official' opening, though.

Hi, Thank you for your asking. Normally the speaker is built-in. you can adjust it. Hope that will help.

Bottom is open. There are screws in the front and back bottom. Works okay. Not optimal.

This is Sean Mills, a co-owner of Grantwood Technology. Thanks for taking the time to post a question.Yes, there is an opening for the speakers. If you take a look at the thumbnails on the listing, you will see the opening (the thumbnails happen to be in pink).

There is a small hole in the rubber casing right behind the speaker, then there is a slot in the hard plastic casing that that directs the sound out through the bottom of the case, You can't see it in the back because it is inside the credit card department. I can here the sound fine, and I really like this case, it is kinda fat but I dont carry a wallet now so I like that.

It's not covered. There's an opening. It actually sounds great when using the speaker. I've used this cover on my S4 for several months.

It covers the bottom corners. It's all open in the middle for the headphone jack, charger and the speakers.

No, there is a cut out for the speakers at the bottom of the case. As for the mic at the top, there is a small hole cut out.

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.

The top is completely covered except for the button. The bottom is covered around the corners coming down, but stops at the headphone jack on one side and is uncovered until it reaches the end of the speaker on the other side. Hope that helps.
