What are the unique features of Samsung Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover?

The official Galaxy S9 accessories were designed to enhance some features or improve the user experiences of Galaxy S9 and S9+.

Unlike the Galaxy S9 clear view cover, Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover does not have a translucent front. It is opaque.

So, Galaxy S9 LED cover uses LED dots on the cover to display icons for calls and notifications on the front cover.

The unique features of Samsung Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover includes:

  • LED icons for incoming calls, notifications, alarms, battery status, clock, and music controls. You can assign different LED icons for different contacts and different apps so that you can know who is calling or where is the notification from without opening the cover.
  • LED with colors. You can assign border colors to the LED icons for Galaxy S9 LED cover. In previous generations of LED cover, there is no border color option.
  • Powered by the phone battery through the NFC connection (induction).
  • Respond to incoming calls directly on the cover (LED part) without opening it.
  • Control the music playing on the cover directly.
  • Respond to alarms on the cover directly.

Of course, as a cover, Samsung Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover offers decent protection for the phone.

How does the LED cover work?

As you may know, you need the power to light up LED icons. But there is no built-in battery in Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover.

So, how does the cover get the power?

The answer is NFC.

The LED wallet cover gets the power from the phone battery through NFC.  The cover is a passive NFC device and communicates with the phone using the NFC chip inside the cover.

Like other passive NFC devices, the case can draw power from the phone through electromagnetic induction to power up itself to offer some features.

As power consumption for LED icons is very low, you should not worry about the battery consumption of the cover. It is very marginal.

You will not notice the difference in the battery life of the phone  with or without the LED cover.

Pros and cons of Samsung Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover

If you are considering whether Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover is a “right” cover for your Galaxy S9 or S9+, you may check the pros and cons of the cover.

Please note, there are no perfect cases. It all depends on your requirements and budget.

Based on our review, Samsung Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover has the following advantages:

  • It is an official case.  The unique features of this LED cover will very likely work even after future software updates.  Galaxy S9 and S9+ will get Android Pie and Android 10 updates.
  • Precise cutouts and perfect fit.
  • Customizable LED icons for calls and notifications.
  • Respond to calls and alarms without opening the case.
  • A credit card holder inside the case. It is convenient for commuters to hold public transportation card.
  • Decent and full protection for Galaxy S9 and S9+. It protects the camera lens, screen, back, and the rim.
  • Top-notch build quality.
  • Improved design with the top side fully covered.
  • Improved texture of the surface material.
  • Wake up and sleep the phone when the case opens/closes.

Of course, there are some  disadvantages of the Galaxy S9 LED wallet case:

  • It is not wallet-friendly.  The $64.99 list price is probably too high for many owners.
  • There is no kickstand as in Galaxy S9 clear view cover.
  • It is not light. The 50-60g weight may not be the taste for some Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners.
  • It may slightly slow down wireless charging.

Again, you should choose a case for Galaxy S9 and S9+ based on:

  • Your budget.
  • Your requirements.

In fact, some Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners do not use any cases at all.  It is all up to you.

How to use Samsung Galaxy S9 LED cover for Galaxy S9 and S9+?

After unboxing Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover, you need to remove the plastic films first.

When you apply the LED cover to Galaxy S9 or S9+, you should start from the top part. Because the top part is now fully covered except the microphone hole, it is hard to fit the phone into the case if you start from the bottom (the side with the USB port).

When you want to remove the phone from the case (for example, you have to remove the case to add/change SIM card or SD card.), you should start from the bottom part.

Once the Galaxy S9 LED cover is applied, Galaxy S9 or S9+ should recognize it immediately. It normally asks you to choose a Galaxy S9 theme for your S9 or S9+ to match the LED case.

If your phone fails to recognize the cover, you can try to reboot the phone.

Once Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover is recognized by the phone, you can find it in Settings —Advanced features—Accessories —LED view cover as shown below.

Advanced features Galaxy S9 accessories settings

As shown above, you can turn on/off automatic unlock (marked as 1).

This option does NOT bypass your lock screen security settings.  It only works if you set the lock screen security as none or swipe, which is not recommended.

How to control music playing on Samsung Galaxy S9 LED cover?

You can control the music playing without opening the LED cover.

When the LED cover is closed with music playing, you can press the Power button once to get the playing control buttons, as shown below.

From left to write, the three buttons are Previous, Pause/Play, and Next.

How to use LED icon editor to customize Samsung Galaxy S9 LED cover for Galaxy S9 and S9+?

As shown above, you can tap LED icon editor (marked as 2) to edit preloaded LED icons or to create your own  LED icons for calls and notifications.

You can assign a LED icon to individual contacts or individual apps.

Besides the dedicated icons for calls and battery status, the LED wallet cover offers another 54 preloaded LED icons for you to assign to contacts and apps.

For the preloaded icons, you can customize them with a color for the border.

You can tap the floating button to create your own LED icons.

For example, as shown below, tap the Smiley icon. The number of 0 below the icon indicates that this icon is not associated with any apps or contacts.

use LED icon editor to  customize the LED cover use LED icon editor to customize Samsung Galaxy S9 LED cover for Galaxy S9 and S9+

In the Smiley page, Tap Choose color as shown above if you want to add a border color for the icon.

For example, after you choose the red color, the preview window will show the icon with a red border as shown below.

You can assign this icon to a contact (or more contacts) so that this icon will be shown when the contact calls you or SMS you.

You can tap Add as shown below select a contact or a group of contacts for this icon if you want.

It is allowed to assign multiple contacts to one LED icon. But one contact can only have one LED icon.

If you assign an icon to the contact with other LED icons assigned, the last LED icon assigned will be used.

Of course, you can also assign this icon to one or more apps.

In the Smiley page, as shown above, tap the Notifications to navigate to notifications panel.

Then you can tap Add button to assign this icon to one or more apps.

After assigning the LED icon to an app, this LED icon will be shown when you get notifications from this app.

For example, after assigning the icon to some contacts and apps, as shown below, the number below the icon is not zero anymore.

Of course, we also customized the two LED icons with border colours as indicated in the screenshot.

Assign  LED icon to ca contact Create a LED icon for the cover

As explained earlier, you can tap the floating button (action button) to create your own LED icons for Galaxy S9 LED wallet cover.

As shown above, there is a 17*9  (in pixels/dots) canvas for you to create your own LED icons.

You can tap individual dots to choose it. You can also draw a line to select all dots in that line.

After creating your own LED icons, you need to give it a name.

All LED icons created by you will be shown under the custom tab, not the preloaded tab.

You can add border color for the created LED icons after they are saved in the custom tab.

Please note, when Do Not Disturb is on, some notifications will not be shown.

      Did you check the LED icon settings to see whether the icon is used or not?

      When you got a call from a contract with assigned icon, was the icon same as others who were not assigned specific icon?

    Yes every phone call shows the same icon. I set each contact with a call and app. And it changes everytime I get a message or call. I spent a lot of money for this stupid cover and it is pushing me off that it doesn’t work as it should.
    Extremely disappointed Suzanne

      You need assign an led icon to the contact. If an led icon was assigned to one or more contacts, you can find this info on led icon editor. If the desired LED icon doesn’t work as expected, you may check the settings in led icon editor.

      LED caller icons work for both phone calls and text messages (if you use default Samsung Messaging app).

      Assigning an LED icon to an app is for other normal apps. Messaging app can use different icons based on contact settings, and therefore it is not necessary to assign a LED icon for the app,

      Nope. It would be a very useful feature. But Samsung didn’t implement it probably because of the limited life span of the LED.

      Nope. Samsung doesn’t mention anything about waterproofing for the case. Normally, if the water is not deep, it probably will be no issues.

    I have been trying to allocate the existing icons to my contacts, using the same icon and colour for the same contact but on multiple apps however it seems like it forgets what apps have been added. E.g. I allocated the man icon to my dad and set it up for calls and WhatsApp, email notifications. I click on “done”, the icon shows (3) but when I set my next icon, my dad’s has returned to (1). I’ve also found that icons are shown against notifications for other contacts e.g. I allocated the cat to my partner (which also forgets), the cat flashed up but on the back of an email that didn’t come from my partner at all. Is the case faulty?

      Icons for contacts only work in phone calls and text messages. They don’t work with WhatsApp or other third-party apps.

    Thanks for the reply. Just to double check, is that definitely the case for the S9? It allows me to select the other apps from the list of apps and has “remembered” i.e. shows (3) against another contact, where I have set them up for calls, Messenger and WhatsApp (although haven’t received any of those from that contact to know if it works for sure).

    Sorry to question this but I don’t understand why it would allow to me to select from the list of apps on my phone if it can only be set up for calls and texts?

    Thank you.

      There are many cases in the market for S9. It depends on your requirements and budget. The LED case is an official accessory with some unique features.

      Each app can have different LED icons.

      The LED icons assigned to individual contact only work with phone calls and messages. WhatsApp (and other apps) can NOT use the LED icon settings for the individual contact. They can only use the icon assigned to them (if you did assign).

    Hi, I recently got and S9+ with the led view cover. And after reading this I wanted to know if the NFC on the phone needs to be on for it to work 100%. I seem to remember that you could tap the cover to get it display some information like the time and so on. but every time I tried it does not work.

    Can you clarify on this please?

      The LED case works even you turn off NFC on the phone.

      if the LED display on the case times out, you can NOT wake it up by tapping on the surface. You can lift the edge to partially open it to wake it up.

      There is no control for Spotify on the LED cover. When you play music, the LED briefly animates, then times out. You cannot make it light up all the time.

      You should have no issue to listen to music when the cover is closed.

      Youtube is a different issue. Youtube does NOt allow background playing unless you subscribe to Youtube Red. When you close the LED cover, S9 or S9+ will be locked. Background music playing should be OK. But Youtube should stop.

      Which apps are you using? It sounds like you turned off background jobs. Did you turn on any battery saver options?

      For video apps, they usually don’t support background playing by default. You need to enable it inside the app. This depends on individual apps. For YouTube, it requires YouTube Red subscription.

      For music apps, they usually support background playing by default. But if you disable background activities, for example, turning on battery saving, they may not play in background.

    Some apps like Youtube and such don’t continue working while the cover is closed, which is annoying but that’s on the apps not the cover.
    My biggest issue is the lack of control it gives me on my own phone. I don’t like that I can’t control how my own phone works. I don’t like that I can’t personalise that experience to my own preferences. It’s annoying, and a cover shouldn’t change the experience of using a phone so much without the option to stop that function. It’s a cool cover don’t get me wrong, but the inability to change such a simple thing about it, something that is controlled by the software not the hardware, makes the cover more of an inconvenience than it’s worth.
    Do you know if there are any plans for an update that will provide the option to change this? Is it even possible to change through an update via the phone?

      The problem you encountered actually is due to apps, not the phone or the cover. Some app developers disabled background playing in their apps. You should contact the app developers to request the feature if you need the feature.

      For YouTube, background playing is only allowed for YouTube Premium (YouTube Red) subscribers.

      If you are playing your own videos on the phone, you can try VLC for Android, which is free and supports background playing.

      Based on my understanding, the issue lies on apps, not the cover (or Android). Maybe I got your question incorrectly.

      You need to use some apps when the cover is closed. But these apps stopped when you closed the cover. The solutions could be:
      1. Use the app that supports background playing. If you are playing your own video, you can try VLC. If you are talking about YouTube, unfortunately, it is a paid feature. Other video streaming services may not support it at all.
      2. Use a cover that does not turn off the screen when you close it. Again, most branded covers will do the same thing (turn off the screen) when you close it. Some cheap covers may not have the chip to turn off the screen. But you will be frustrated with the poor quality.

      Anyway, there are no easy solutions.

      The case works with NFC terminals. The case itself is NOT a problem for NFC.

      For a small amount (depending on your region), Google Pay does not require you to unlock the phone. But you need to wake up the screen. This means you still have to lift or open the cover.

      For a larger amount, Google pay requires you to unlock the phone. In this case, you must open the case and unlock the phone.

      Your guess is right. You need to lift the cover to see the battery percentage on the lock screen when it is not connected to the charger. Even when the phone is connected to a charger, the LED cover only displays the battery icon for a while. After this, you still need to lift the cover to force it to show the icon on the cover again.

I have also set up icons for several of my contacts when they call. The cover has been working fine until two days ago when software updates for the phone went through overnight. Now the icon for notifications no longer displays when a notification from Facebook or Messenger is received. Can you tell me why this has happened?

    I have had similar experiences as described by poster on January 4th. This is the second time this has happened for me. I have managed to resolve it this time by doing the following (Not sure which step or if all three steps fixed it but I got there in the end!)

    1. Disable and re-enable LED Icon editor notification access (Settings –Lock screen and security –Other security settings– notification access)

    2. Remove cover and restart phone

    3. Refit cover

    Hope that helps and hoping it fixes mine again next time it goes wrong.

    I’m having the same issue as the last two posts which appears to be down to the last update (maybe). The LED icon editor app no longer appears in my list of apps. It shows under the accessories setting but doesnt open when clicked on. The time, battery and music player still show on the LED cover but nothing else. If I restart my phone, occasionally it will bring the app back and subsequently the icons I’ve previously created and assigned, but more often not. I dont want to have to restart my phone everyday just to get the cover to work when it should be working automatically. Is it an issue with the latest update or is my case broken?

      Can you find it in settings – advanced features – accessories? Also, you should be able to find it in settlings – apps. You can try to clear cache for it.

    The led icon cover for the S9+ worked great for awhile. It seems although can’t say for sure that it stopped working after system update. The clock and battery indicator still work when plugging in the adaptor or when closing the cover. I can’t get the app notifications to work any more.

    I have checked Notification settings and they are all on
    Rebooted phone.
    Cleared cache from Icon editor and reset app notifications

    As suggested by another poster:

    Disable and re-enable LED Icon editor notification Removed cover and restarted phone and refitted cover.
    LED view cover is Version 05/0E

    Any other suggestions?

    thx

    I had the exact same issue! Was super annoying. I went back into the shop I bought it from and they just soft factory reset my phone and now it’s back to working perfectly. So same thing as a normal factory reset but its ‘soft’ so you dont lose anything from your phone at all

      What do you mean “not working at all”?
      1. Does the phone recognize the cover (check it in Settings–Advanced features –Accessories).
      2. Does the cover interact with the phone? If you open and close the cover, does the screen turn on and off? is the time shown on the cover briefly when you close the cover?

      It seems you didn’t access the correct setting entries. You need to set up both of the following:
      1. Settings- Apps – LED icon editor – permissions, turn in all three: contacts, phone and storage.
      2. (if your phone is still in Oreo) Settings – biometrics and security – other security settings – notification access. Turn on it for LED icon editor.

      If you S9 was updated to Android Pie, the second step should be in Settings — Apps, tap the menu key(3 vertical dots on top right), tap special access, tap notification access.

      You cannot change much of the LED color. In S9, you are only allowed to change the color of the border in Settings —Advanced features —Accessories—LED icon editor. Samsung does not allow you to chanage a few default icons either.

      First, this is an owner-help-owner community. We, just like you, are normal users. You can feedback to local Samsung service centre or distributor. If the cover is still under warranty, you can demand them to repair or replace or even refund.

      Did you check with the seller?

      Also, try to start the LED icon editor once in Setting – Advanced features – accessories – LED icon editor.

    Is there a default list of icons that are shown for the various notifications possible? What I mean is someone had to set this up and design it from the start so it would create somewhat meaning full icons on the screen without any user customization. Lets face it, the software engineers could not have reasonably expected everyone would customize icons, so there has to be some defaults.

    What are they? and what phone notifications trigger them?

      For Gmail notifications, you can try to assign a new LED icon to the app to see whether it works. You may need to restart the phone once.

      For Samsung music, can you see the EQ animations when closing the cover? The music control should be identical to other music apps. What happens if you press the power button once when the case is closed and music is playing in the background? This should bring out the play control (Pause, previous, next) on the cover.

      Anyway, in the Samsung music app main interface, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots on the top right), then tap Settings, you can try to check “Control using lock screen” and “Music with screen off”. These settings are not used (ignored) by the system since Android Oreo update in Samsung phones. But you may give it a try.

    For Gmail, I have just assigned a icon and it works. Maybe I don’t understand this product that well, didn’t know have to assign a icon for such basic thing.

    As for Samsung music, after playing around with the 3 dots settings, found the issue is resolved by updating the Samsung music app version.
    Before updating the cover will show the back/pause/next buttons but no effect when pressed. After update it works as expected.
