Samsung S-View Flip Cover Series Case for Samsung Galaxy (S22+) - Black

so i love this case and got it with my credit when i pre-ordered my phone. i loved the little light up for the screen and it'll show me who's calling me or if someone texts me on snapchat. all other apps give me a little light in the corner. my only issue is that since i take my phone put of my pocket alot and i noticed the leather or plastic covering over the seam was falling off. then more recently i noticed the whole leather part started disconnecting from the plastic casing around my phone near my camera.

i had the s-view case for my s21 and loved it. i liked seeing the notification icons/alerts without having to open the cover. i was expecting this case to be similar if not better since the cut out is bigger. unfortunately it doesn't function like i expected. i can answer/decline calls and silence alarms, but no other notifications, including messages, show up. just a useless orange dot. all notification settings are on and i've gone through all the troubleshooting steps. next step would be to send it in but that's not really an option right now. i had no issues with the s-view case for my s21 so this is just really disappointing. with that being said, i do like the feel of it and that it surrounds the whole phone. i just wish the functionality matched the product description.
