Samsung Galaxy Note8 LED View Cover - Push the Limits

[Hakakeen]

Hey,

So just purchased and received this new case, little by way of protection but the display built in is just as I hoped it would be.

Now that I have this display though I have 1 question and one issue.

The issue I have (in the hopes you have an idea)
I like to use the off screen memo, one of my favourite features as I often want to quickly make a reminder of things.
However when I open the case it turns the screen on, meaning that I can see notifications but also meaning to access the off screen memo I now have to lock the phone again.
I have looked through the options for the case but can see no way to disable this.

Question
As I said I have looked through and I can see the option for customising my LED display, but are there any apps or suggestions on really pushing the limit here:
Can I get text on it, like the subject line of an email?
Using a timer can i see the clock ticking down? - I know when it goes off it uses the display and the display reacts to a swipe.
What else can I react to using this case?

You should be able to disable the *wake up* under accessories in settings like with previous s-view covers

There is a "automatic Unlock" option. But not screen wake up option, that I can see.

Resolved - just remove the pen completely before opening the case.

just got the case, giving it a try. feels good but....

1.why couldn't they put a hole on the front cover so when its flipped completely over you can still use the camera

2. wish there would be a setting to keep the clock on longer or even permanently when you close the cover

3. short of that, wish you could activate the clock without having to open the cover

4. not that I personally have the need for it, but seems they give you a slot on the inside of the front cover for a credit card, but then there is a small sticky removable label that warns against it. Guess its not for credit card....maybe a license

3. Press the power button, to activate the clock.

4. I think that warning thing dates back to when magnet stripe cards could get erased easily, don't think it applies to cards used now
