As there is no cut-out hole for the earpiece, and the case has built-in magnet for secure closure, does one need to leave the flap open during a call?

Yes. The case is designed in a way that it folds backward. Picture this.....if you had an iPad in a case that opens and you could stand up the iPad......same concept as shown in the pictures. It's not as awkward as you would think. It folds back enough that you can grasp the phone normally.....just with a little thicker case. I thought I would not like it.....but have become accustom to it and like the additional security.

Yes the "front" flap swings around behind the "rear" flap; you can also use the magnetic tab-flap to secure the "front" flap in the open position.

There is a hole cut out at the top of the case. I do not use an earpiece. The top flap has to be open when making or receiving a call.

Yes and it can be a pain but I do like that it secures shut when it is set down

The flap (even when closed) has an opening for the earpiece so you can still hear the other party.

I always do, unless I'm using my Galaxy Gear. But, I would imagine the speaker (on) setting would be good enough to allow you to talk while the cover is closed. A note* - The wrap-around tab is magnetic and will hold the cover open for you all the way in a 'behind-the-phone' position, so it is not really a problem to have the cover open. Hope this helps! Merry Christmas! Self-plug: This will be the best answer. To other contributors, "Step it up!"

There is no hole to access the headphone jack but the zipper starts higher up on one side so you only have to unzip the case a little bit to access the jack location. I feel like the case is still securely closed when doing this as you open the zipper only a small amount.

The phone needs to flip open to use/talk. If you have a case it does not interfere.

As per my usage of the model you can easily close the flap cover and continue to talk.to end the talk u need to open the flap again and press the red color to disconnect the call

Yes, the entire outer art of the flap has a strong magnet which securely keeps the case closed. The magnet will also hold the case folded to the back when you fold the two outer movable parts back on each other behind the phone for easy holding and texting. The case is secure and protective with the strong flap magnet.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, you can keep the flap closed and still have your headphones plugged in. There is a hole on top of the case for the headphone jack.

Yes there is a flap but it is intended to be moved to plug in the ear buds.

This case does have a magnet closure. I have not had any problem with it opening in my purse or tote. I really like it because it is streamlined and not bulky.

The flap is not removable, if that's what you mean. And it doesn't bend all the way back around since the case is so thick. But you can talk on the phone with the flap shut.

It has one small piece of metal on the flap to keep the case closed when you are not using the phone. Otherwise it has no plastic.

It does close but there is no way of keeping closed without a strap (just like a book). I don't have any problems hearing when on a phone call or have many problems taking pix. It's cut pretty well to accommodate.

You can talk on the phone while the phone is in the case, you just need to flip the cover open. you can't talk when the cover is closed. I love this case. It's the best one I've had so far. So convenient and holds my credit card, my license etc. it's like a wristlet.

This case has all the openings for where you charge your phone, the speaker, where you can attach a wrist holder and the headset. So where you plug the phone in to charge it, you are able to get to your magnetic strip to pull it open. So it is not covered where you would have to take the case off to charge it.

Hi Brent, Yes, you can still talk on the phone while your phone is in the case. Just fold the flap and you're good :) Jo Tan / The Friendly Swede

Not a problem as the magnet holds the "flap" closed to the case. Comfortable.
