A primitive title, but a truly original case for full-fledged operation of which there are as many as 3 applications... crooked, of course.
This nameless hero of the review was chosen as a replacement. Chosen purely for its appearance and the desire to understand how convenient the transparent lid is.
In general, I am not a fan of photographs of postal packaging, but this was the first time I received such a package. 
Inside is a sandwich filled with casing. 
Photographing mirrored objects is always a challenge for me, but I tried.
The case has transport films glued to it to avoid scratches, and a functional diagram printed on it. The phone cradle contains a piece of foam with a QR code that leads us to a page with applications. 
The front side is made of pink tinted plastic, the rest is made of plastic with a slightly velvety beige coating. 
We remove the films, insert the phone and... we smear 10 frames with focus. 
The phone inserts easily, even too easily. Does not leave the feeling that it might fall out, but this did not happen even with intense shaking. 
For me personally, the main advantage of such cases is the ability to transform into a stand. It turns out to be comfortable; there is a small protrusion on the cradle for clear fixation. 
Let's move on to the most controversial part of this case - the applications. To begin with, it should be mentioned that despite the fact that the “smart cover” mode is activated on the phone, and it also works properly with the previous case, this copy refuses to unlock and wake up the phone. But that is until you download the app.
The QR code takes us to a page where we are offered to download 3 applications to choose from. The bottom one clearly doesn’t suit us, so we don’t even consider it; the left one is the most functional, and the right one is the most beautiful).
First, we download the left application, which is called “Square window” and is clearly intended for a different type of case, but only in this application we see a fairly wide selection of settings. 
Ok, let's try the right application. It offers a number of skins to display on the screen when you close the case. And everything would be fine, but after installing it, the phone does not go to the unlock menu. You close the lid - a nice picture with a clock, open it - it blinks and returns to its place. The only solution was to reboot and instantly delete it. 
In the end, it was decided to leave the first application, but not only because it gives decent hours, but also because it cannot be deleted. There’s no way at all, you try to delete, it seems like the process has started, and then a message something like “ this application cannot be deleted." It’s somewhat offensive, it’s incomprehensible, and my inner paranoid is stirring.
In any case, the case looks like this in operation:
Total:
The case is cute, looks elegant, high quality and unusual. The phone protects, my mother likes it, i.e. basic functions work. It would be cool if the screen reacted through the glass, but given its thickness, this was not even possible. The apps cause paranoia and irritation.
Today we’ll look at one very unusual question that is often asked by users of Xiaomi smartphones and tablets: what does the “Smart Cover Mode” item, which is located in the settings, mean? The answer is simple.
This is what this item looks like on the screen of a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet:
It's actually quite simple. You may have probably heard about the so-called “smart” cases for mobile devices. They are in a book format, where in order to access the screen, the cover needs to be opened - just like a book. Here is an example of a case:
These smart cases have built-in magnets. In turn, a smartphone or tablet has a special magnetic sensor, which is located under the glass. When you open the smart case, the device’s display automatically unlocks, which is very convenient.
So, returning to our item “Smart Cover Mode”, which you can find in devices from Xiaomi, we inform you that this function activates the “smart” case. What does it mean? If you turn on this function, then when using a smart case, the desktop will automatically unlock when the case is opened. If the function is deactivated, you will have to unlock the device yourself when opening the case. Actually, that's the whole answer.
The S View case that Samsung equips its smartphones with reminds us of the good old days when flip phones were equipped with a small additional display on the back of the cover.

The top one is designed to start or stop the S View service.
The second is for fine-tuning the location of the panels, which display the current time and date, information about the music track, missed calls and unread messages. Simply select a panel and move it using the arrows.
The third button is for accessing application settings. Here you can select the delay time for the S View information window to appear, enable auto mode Wake up the screen when the case opens and turn on/off the display of information about the caller.
That's all. There are two versions of the S View - HatRoid application: paid and free. The paid or Pro version also allows you to change the size and color of panel elements (clock, date panel, etc.), as well as disable the S View logo.
