Does the 'hard plastic cover' over the LCD prevent the flip feature? A Youtube didn't show this.

No, the back side of the skin is open so the LCD cover will open and rotate. This item is made of rubber. My only complaint with it is that with the cover on, unless you have all the function buttons memorized, it is almost impossible to see the name of the function button since everything is black. Also when shooting the shutter button covered and it is harder to just press it halfway to achieve focus without taking the shot before focus is achieved. I am only going to use the item for travel protection, but will remove it when actually shooting in the field.

It doesn't. I just tried it before I answered your question, so don't worry :-)

I too am having the same issue. When I playback the videos in large or fullscreen mode, it's jerky. In small mode, it's fine. I can't get Flip to respond to my email and can't get through on the phone, so I might be returning this one.

Mine does not, but it usually falls on the back of it as it seems to flip over & land on the back, thus protecting the screen by default.

Hey, I still haven't attempted mine, however, my friend does fix them for a living and he told me its easier to buy the whole LCD w/glass, that if you try removing glass wrong it'll snap the LCD board if you don't use a heating pad like repair shops use. He said just buying the glass is a money scheme though, that's why I haven't tried mine yet

No Chris because this is just the screen lens cover nothing else this is the cover to protect the actual screen. Something might have happened to the lcd. Have you dropped it or anything. Sometimes even pressure could have done something like this even without a crack. Also you might need to hard rest which you can go to samsung. Com to go through steps if that doesn't work I would connect to kies which is also on the Web address. If nothing works go to your phone company and go from there.

It doesn't touch the LCD . For the price.. You cannot go wrong. It fits beautifully and I often forget its there but the rubber will fade over a couple of months.

Yes it's unfortunately a known issue. I modified mine by clipping the thin piece of black plastic just above the power button completely away. Removing this piece of plastic does not seem to affect the integrity or function of the case as mine works great now.

The hard plastic cover slides over the screen. So far no issues. Air travel here to.

Not that I know of. I seldom use my Flip Slide anymore since we bought 2 new Samsung s5 G900H Factory Unlocked cell phones. The camera and video is light years ahead of the flip Slide.

If you are using the standard issue headphone from Apple, there is no need flip the base cover. But other larger thicker connectors may require it.

no, it's an outlet cover & once it's on, it's not easily removed to flip a switch unless the outlet was controlled by an uncovered switch

I recently bought this for a trip along with the 8gb HD Flip and Amazon suggested I bundle with this case with the Flip, so I did, not realizing any of the previously mentioned issues. I got them both and the Flip does not fit snugly in the case, meaning you cannot control any of the buttons while in the underwater case. I have some thin packing material that i put around the entire Flip that makes it fit, but I'm not sure how it is going to hold up in the long run.

addendum: I believe odds are high that the plastic bezel you snap on after screwing the screen on very might hold the screen on too although I suspect screen might slip a little back and forth..... rinky dink :(

There's one ob mine too. But I left it on. So none of my screen is uncovered. I've had the cover for a few months and its awesome.

I can only speak for my personal dealings with this specific seller, and my experience is that the flip cover received was the actual Samsung flip cover, in the actual Samsung package, brand new without blemish or flaw, for 1/3rd the price. Whether or not they always have this particular Samsung case, I couldn't say. From the reviews that you are speaking of, to which up until now I have been ignorant to, it seems that they may be one of those "hit or miss" sellers; if they have the Samsung, you get it, if not, you get an aftermarket piece. In my opinion, based on my experience, I would go for it.

Mine is a very no frills LCD even though it's made by Viewsonic. I see no holes in the back or around the top of the LCD.

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife
