Does the sound get muffled when you fold back the case? If so, how bad is it?

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 use the stand when I am listening to music, etc., so, no sound doesn't get muffled.

The sound is only slightly muffled but far from significant. The speakers for the LG G Pad are just 'ok' anyway so you are not missing much when the case is folded over partially blocking the speakers. The best solution for sound is to either buy some good earphones or an external speaker. All in all, the case is great.

I actually feel it sounds louder with the case folded back. Seems to project the sound forwards.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

No it is not muffled. Originally without the case on you wouldn't be able to place your finger where the speaker is. With the case on you can place your finger there and will not be muffled. If anything it sounds better!

Hi! I was wondering about that too, however, once I put the case on, there is not interruption of the sound quality once the case it on. I don't know how they do it, but it works!

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

Yes the sound was muffled. I did return this unit for a refund as it was the metal case model and may not have been a Real Lunatik case. I cannot speak for the authentic Lunatik. I did however find it to be bulky and difficult to plug in headphones and charge cables. I went back to the LifeProof case for my iPhone 4s and for my new 5s. Much lighter and smaller.

No, unfortunately it doesn't. I folded a small piece of paper towel and taped it to the speaker and it muffles the sound some so it's not so loud.

Talking on the phone I can hear clearly but I do not know how well they can hear me. So far I haven't had problems. Things like speaker and ringing is quieter(as expected) but I've put mine under water, been around drywall dust and hasn't leaked into the case to the phone

Yes, the rubber back is higher than the speaker so the sound gets sealed in when laid flat.

You can still hear the speaker but it will be a little muffled. The foam cushion that surrounds and protects the phone inside the case will dampen the sound from the speaker when the phone is clamped in. I only listen this way right before or right after a ride. I don't think you will be able to listen that way while riding if that's what you want to do.

I haven't tried to but, the back side is wicking material, so I'm sure the sound would travel out. But the speaker is on the back which is pressed against your arm. I'm sure the sound would be muffled.

It's not really an issue, sound is coming from speakers on the front of the case rather than from the bottom when the case is not on.

There are holes for the sound to pass through. I don't have any problems with the sound coming through. This is an awesome case, not bulky and very snug, I love it. Hope this helps. I am very satisfied with this purchase, in fact I now have the same style in two other colors, lol.

For me I feel that the case actually helped to better define the back of the device. Esp when I had it up to my ear or in my pocket. Since the case further recesses the button zone. Before the case I would fumble more for the volume rocker. Even occasionally making it louder when I was meaning to quiet it.

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.

There are multiple tiny holes in the back of the case over the speaker to let sound pass. I haven't noticed any great impact on the sound myself.
