how comfortable is it to hold the phone to your ear for talking while it's in the case?

It is comfortable. Doesn't feel any different than not having the case except that it's a little bigger so you can have a better grip.

a little awkward. I am used to just a shell type case so I am getting used to this. the tab is magnetic and clicks back so it is out of the way which is niceI like the fact that it protects the face of the phone with the cover. is a nice case overall, especially for the price. prompt delivery

i really never hold it to my ear. the only way i talk on my phone is with a ear piece. i hate holding the phone period. I only roll with a blue tooth. I hope this has helped yo. But when I do it is not ofter, and it is not that bad.

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

it is very comfortable. I am petite and has small face so the case covers almost half of my face but since it has a magnetic lock, you can simply fold it back and the magnet secures it in place. my phone usually slip from my hand, the case has a rough texture which helps me from preventing it to happen.

It's good. I fold the closing flap back between the covers and it gives an edge to hold.

Well it's definitely bigger and bulkier in the case, but it's very comfortable. In fact, I find it easier to hold IN the case than OUT. That might sound nuts, but the case almost provides something of a "handle". I've had it in the case basically from day one and it's been no trouble at all. Side buttons fit in perfectly. I definitely recommend this case.

I have the Note 3. It's not to bad In spite of the rather large phone. Im sure the S4 should work fine.

Yes. The phone is covered very well. You need to open the case near the speaker for the other caller to hear you though. Otherwise it sounds like you're talking through a pillow.

I found it comfortable to the ear... I have used this type before and could not get used to them. With this one I have so far. :)

No its like skin tight without any case. Do yourself a favor and buy blue tooth headphones and leave ur phone in your jacket

There's no problem connecting headphones to the phone with the case on. It has a round cutout on the bottom (for the 5s) that allows you to easily plug in your earbuds.

It helps alot. My wife has a regular otter box case on hers and always has to cup the back to get the sound up front. I don't and the sound is awesome. She usually had to tell me to turn it down at night if I'm watching a movie/video next to her in bed.

Using this case I have no trouble hearing the person I'm talking to nor do they have any trouble hearing me. The only difference is when the phone rings its a little quieter than when out of the case. And playing music with the phones speaker is softer than when out of the case. When I'm playing music I use a small Bluetooth speaker.

It's not very durable, it is quite thin. Not much support. You can talk on the phone while it is in the case, just be sure you don't have anything that may fall out.

It's just a little harder to hear but not completely mute. It's a slightly muffled sound because it's literally sealed shut. It's not meant to be an every day case if this bothers you. It's meant for when you know you will be in or around a body of water or if you have young children who like to play with your phone.

Hi Lynmar1! The phone is meant to be used while still in the plastic holder in the case. You simply fold the flap with the credit card pockets back and hold the phone up to your ear. If you have not used a wallet case before, it may take some getting used to, though these have been popular sellers and the majority of customers have been extremely pleased :) If there's anything else, just let me know.

Yes as long as you keep it at a reasonable volume. I can even hold a conversation with someone while wearing these. The buds are not actually embedded in your ear.

First of all I use an iphone. The sound quality on my phone is ok, but not very comfortable. I have to be relocated several times. Obviously depends on the head shape and size of your ear.

Hi Carolyn! The wallet case, by nature, is a bit more to hold next to your ear than a "normal" case. The way most people have been using these comfortably is how a few customers here have mentioned, by folding the "wallet side" behind the phone side and then holding it up to your ear. I alternate between a few of our cases and the wallet case took some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's very handy :) If there's anything else, just let me know.

Definitely can easily be taken out of case. I mostly utilize the speakerphone when talking or ear bugs.

Not really. Of course, I was using at the beach so the background noise was considerable. I bought a bluetooth headset to use the phone while in the case.

I haven't taken the phone out of the case since I got it, it's not that easy to remove. But it's not awkward at all to talk with the case still on. You just flip the cover to the back so it's out of the way and it's fine.

nope.. still very slim and sleek.. imo it actually looks better with the case on and is easier to hold while talking.. cheers
