Is the speaker uncovered with this case? I don't use headphones, instead, I just play my music on the speaker so I can be more aware of traffic.

The speaker and the microphone are not covered nor are any of the other buttons.

There are slots on the side so that it does not cover the speakers. The sound is not muffled. I purchased it for my Galaxy Tablet 3.

There's a flap that covers the top and it lines up perfectly with the headphone jack on my S4 Active. If I could attach pics I would.I find the volume control to be rather responsive but headphones with volume control? Never thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion, time to shop...

There are no "flaps" covering the speakers like the ones that cover the plug in locations. The case itself does cover the speakers but have cut outs where the speakers are and have screens to help protect the speakers. It does not affect volume or quality in any way. You won't be sorry going with the case! Best one I've had!

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.

There is a cut out for the speaker. I use mine on speaker phone and have never had an issue being heard or hearing the caller. I love this case. I highly recommend it.

There is a ear plug/speaker jack on the top of the case. We have had our case for almost a year and it is wonderful.

The headphone fit but rather snugly. I stopped using the case because it's too bulky and takes up too much room. I'm sure the headphones are protected though.

The mic and speaker are open (holes in the case). Thus, it is not as water proof more splash resistant. The ear speaker is covered with some type of fabric (at least that is what it looks like to me).

If you look at the case as it is pictured, the headphone jack is on the bottom, front right corner.I have this case, and I find it to be in a bit of an inconvenient spot.

Yes, headphones jack is exposed at all times along with the charging port on this case. I love it, its reliable, i serve in the National guard and it stands up to every condition i have put it under, best recommendation is go to Verizon and have them put the $32 screen protector on it, or to radio shack and use there screen protector.

There is a hole... two small slits just below and to the left of the logo at the bottom. I don't think it's any better or worse than the standard case, personally (which I thought was middle of the road to begin with as phone speakers go).

Sorry, I don't have that problem with my case. But the speakers are on the back of the galaxy S5 phone so make sure nothing is covering them.

No, I do not have a problem people hearing me when I have the case on. The case does not cover the speakers at the bottom at all.

The sound is fine. People can hear me fine and I can hear them. At first I had problems.. I simply took. My phone out and reinstalled it in the case and it was fine. As for playing music, the sound is a but muffled. You can still hear it but if you want a louder, more clear sound you have to open the charging plug and headphone plug and then sound is loud as usual. Hope this helps.

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.

The speaker is in the back of the device and gets muffled by the case. I jam a pen behind mine to help prevent the speaker being muffled.
