About Flip Case Control Trial
Close the Flip Cover Case and the screen turns off. Open the Flip Cover Case and the screen turns on.
That's the way it should be and now it's here.
This version is a 24 hour trial. If this app works as you like it to, please purchase the full version
Currently not compatible with non-Samsung ROMs (AOSP/CM)
Tested on Galaxy S7, Nexus 5X
IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor may not read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)
If you have a Note II and you're experiencing high battery use: turn off "Reduce Sensitivity" I'm working on a fix.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does it use a lot of battery?
A. On my test phones, it comes in around 0.3-0.5% per hour depending on usage.
Q. Is the sensor on all the time?
A. It can be, if you don't want it to be then try Night Disable or Limited Screen On to disable it.
Q. Is that bad to leave the sensor on all the time?
A. No, the sensor is just a passive light sensor paired with an LED. It's ok to let the LED run.
Q. Can my phone still reach the "Deep Sleep" state?
A. Yes.
Q. Sometimes the screen takes a little bit longer to turn on after opening the case, is something wrong?
A. No, that's normal. The phone has powered down to the "Deep Sleep" mode and takes a little bit of time to wake up.
Permissions Needed:
Get Settings - Needed for core functionality
Wake Lock - Needed for core functionality
On Boot - Auto start on boot up
(Optional) Device Admin - Screen Lock: Used as an alternative method to turn off the screen if the default one does not work. It will need to be disabled prior to uninstalling the app if used.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy Note2. When I close my case the screen doesn't turn off. It only works when I open the case.

Does not put Galaxy S6 to sleep. I have been looking for a flip cover app that uses root to put the device too sleep so unlocking with fingerprint is not disabled. I was hoping this might work. Wakes the S6 up but does not put it to sleep.

Its works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I use a dark skinned, magnetic flip case cover and the screen comes on when I open it and goes off when I close it. Great! Thanx devs!

The only thing I have changed on my phone was this app! Didn't even use my phone much today and I had to plug it in to charge it at 4:30pm when my phone used to last all day! Uninstall!

I just bought a bright Lime flip case for my nexus 4, thought I would go have a look on the play store for a app that lights up and closes the screen when the case is opened and closed. This app is perfect and its really accurate too, will be buying the full version when the trial expires!

I tried this app on my Verizon Note 2, i have the Titanium version with a matching flip case. The app worked as it should without adding a light color piece of tape to the inside of the flap. But it seemed that sometimes when I opened the case and tried to slide the notify bar down my other fingers would trip the app an turn off my screen. other times in a brightly lit room it seemed that my shadow on the screen would also turn off my display. Unfortunately 24 hours isn't enough time to test this app for me to decide if it's worth buying and using and that's why I'm going to rate it a 3. Perhaps I'll try it again when a new version comes along.

Works just fine on my gn2. But it also deactivates the screen when my hand moves past the sensor from 3cm away. An improvement would be to only deactivate when the sensor is totally covered at point blanc for a few seconds.

It really doesn't work on my GNll. It detect the flip cover half way and the screen goes off but when I close the flip completely the screen wakes up automatically as if it is not closed

Do not install this app. Cannot get rid of the sensor off the screen. Have emailed app developer & no reply. App ran inconsistently on Samsung S5. Had been prepared to buy the paid version - so glad I didn't. Hopefully developer will respond here to tell me how to rid the sensor icon please.
