The now-retired Smart View Wallet Case is becoming a rare accessory—here’s why you shouldn’t wait if you still want one
A Rare Feature the Galaxy A36 No Longer Offers
The Galaxy A36 may be newer, but it lacks a nostalgic and practical feature that the Galaxy A35 still supports: the Smart View Wallet Case (also known as S View). Samsung has quietly discontinued this accessory across all its phone lineups in 2025, making the A35 the last in its class to work with it.
- The Smart View case is no longer produced, not just for the A-series, but for all Galaxy phones.
- Once current stocks are sold out, there won’t be any more official replacements.
What Makes the Smart View Case Special?
The Smart View Wallet Case offers a unique blend of hardware and software integration:
- Features a cutout window in the front cover
- Lets the phone adjust the Always On Display to show time, notifications, and calls through the cutout only
- Supports flip-to-wake and contextual display behavior
- Protects your screen while maintaining key functionality at a glance
This is the kind of subtle Samsung polish that helped set Galaxy devices apart—until now.
Why It’s Going Away
Samsung hasn’t officially explained why it stopped making Smart View cases, but possible reasons include:
- Software integration complexity across models and updates
- AOD misbehavior risks with firmware changes
- Shifting focus toward newer case designs and ecosystem accessories (like Galaxy SmartTags or Galaxy AI features)
Regardless of the cause, Samsung has pulled the plug, and that makes the existing Smart View cases increasingly rare.
Pricing and Availability
At the time of writing:
- The Smart View Wallet Case for the Galaxy A35 is priced at:
- $49 in the USA
- €49 in Europe
- Not currently available in the UK
- Expect availability to drop sharply as older inventory sells out
Samsung generally stops offering cases for phones after about two years, so time is already running short for the A35.
Why You Should Buy One Now
If you own a Galaxy A35 and don’t plan to upgrade soon:
- This is your last chance to own a Smart View case before it vanishes from store shelves
- The case adds functionality that newer models no longer support
- It may become a collectible item, especially for fans of Samsung’s classic mobile features
The Galaxy A35 is the last phone in Samsung’s lineup to support the now-discontinued Smart View Wallet Case. With no new models supporting it and official production halted, the $49/€49 accessory is becoming a rare find. Grab one while you can—once stock runs out, it’s gone for good.
