Has anyone used a case that has the magnetic closure? Any problems?
I've read where it may cause problems, due to it activating the Car Docker, and therefore draining battery. I've also read the contrary, that it causes it no problems.
Before I shell the money for a case, I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced any issues.
Thanks!

My case has a magnetic flap enclose. It's a pretty strong one too.... When I close it it sounds like a snap closing. I've had no problems with it at all. In fact it's been unplugged since 6 this morning and the battery right now is at 82%

Cool! Thanks for the heads up ... what type of case?
I'm considering getting a Naztech Gladiator II .... pretty heavy duty, adjustable size ( I've got an extended battery ) and it looks pretty sweet.

That looks pretty similar to mine but mine is made by rugged. It's pretty heavy duty, but it's not adjustable... not sure if it would accommodate the extended battery, but I'm also not sure how much thicker that battery makes it.
I've been using those kind of cases off and on for the past year and never had any kind of issue. I'm currently using the $20 one from Sams Club. I bought it so long ago I can't remember if it even had a name, but it works without issue.
Cool ... thanks for the input. I'd prefer an actual hard case i could snap around the entire phone, but no such luck.

the eris does not have a car dock feature activated by a magnet like some other androids do. hence, no problem with magnetic case. have fun and good luck finding your case

I just got my Case-Mate Vroom and i thought sharing with you guys. First here are some pictures to show how it looks:
It doesn't feel cheap and gives the phone some extra grip, i like this. all the functions are accessable. When you get the package you will find a screen protector and a cleaning cloth.
pros:
- Extra Grip
- Your phone doesn't get damaged when dropped
- Great look
- shorter brake distance
Cons:
- It's a little bulky
- it smells (at first)
I bought it from ebay http://cgi.ebay.nl/case-mate-Vroom-...ViewItem&pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item1e5b61ebc9
the shipping take 2 days this was really amazing
Ya, I have this case aswell, and I really like it. I've had it for a month or so now, and it's doing good. I have setup a MicroSD -> SD adapter which comes out under my battery door and fits inside the case 32GB SD Class 6 card FTW. Works good and doesn't catch on anything. It's what I would recommend.
Yhea i saw the SD card setup. but don't you get a bubble on the back, with your setup?
I have a love hate relationship with this case.
Pros:
1.I dont need a car dock because its "sticky" enough to stay put by my speedometer.
2.Protection from dropping it.
3.More grip definitely makes it easier for 2 handed typing.
Cons:
1. This case cleans my pockets of lint.
2. This phone is thin with out the case, really thin. With the case on I always get the "what kinda iPhone is that"
Generally when not working I keep the phone out of the case (I also have a Best Skin Ever on, so not that big of a deal).
Over all I am happy with the case.

After a day use i must say i like the extra Grip. after takin it out the case the phone is to slim and slippy
Just noticed this on htcdirect.co.uk
Note: May interfere with ambient light sensor which controls screen brightness in sunlit conditions.
Anyone noticed any problems with this?

I believe this is for the older model case they were selling...no problems here. The case doesn't actually even cover any part of the screen.

Looking at the pictures, thats what I figured. Thanks for the feedback though.
Are there any available?

I dont think so. Even if there were, the phone would be MASSIVE by the time everything is in place.

This is only one i found on ebay. I was going asking if anyone has tried this yet.
There are 2 types, that I know of.
One like the link above, and one that is full across the back
I got the second type of back, (link) for $12, as I like how it adds protection for the camera lens
I got the battery from here, (link) and it comes with a the first type of back for $18
I don't mind how it thickens the phone, and it actually makes holding when I type on the hw kb a lot more comfortable.
With the 3500mv battery, I was able to have my Epic OC'ed to 1.4GHz, brightness set to 100%, have BT, WiFi, GPS, & 4G on all day, and use the phone normally, and the battery still was over 48% when I got home from work, 10 hours later.
If the price for that is a little extra thickness, I will take that any day. Espically since I can always put the stock battery and back on if I want to use the slim profile for some reason.
Whoops...the link i posted was for a phone cover with the extended battery, not the battery cover. When you buy an extended battery from the same ebay seller he includes the battery cover. This is the case to protect the phone.

The case is ok but right now moretalktime is making a updated version that makes the access to button layouts better. I currently have it but im sending back in and waiting for the updated version since the case blocks some basics features like the speaker and the mic hole.
Can't one use the clip in holster where the face of the phone is facing the holster nd the back of the phone faces outward? A holster similar to the one used with the Seidio Active X cases?

I got tired of the extra bulk and ended up replacing it with an extra OEM battery. I'm keeping it around incase I go on a road trip however.
edit: Nevermind. I just reread your original post
Well you know what they say about guys with huge phones....
They have really good battery life

Yes...the hip belt clip case by Eddie Bauer sold at Best Buy works great with the extended battery.
Hey folks,
I tried searching but could not find the answer. I am about to the buy the otterbox for my lovely G2. I love otterboxes but before I do, anyone know if an extended battery (like this one) would fit with the otterbox on it?
I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.
Thanks

Pysch. I just read that batteries' description and it seems it does not add any thickness to the battery. Has anyone proven/disproven this?
Also my original question still stands I think as I am still thinking of getting an extended battery. My G2 does last about 10 hours of normal use, but who knows when you might need the extra juice; better safe than sorry I think.
Anything that fits in our existing battery door will work with an Otterbox.
Seidio tends to work OK, though I prefer OEM batteries. HTC makes one for the EVO Design 4G that is 1520mAh and fits inside the G2 perfect as well.
Thanks.
And so is it safe to assume anything does adds even a little bit of bulk does not fit with an otterbox?

If the original battery door closes it should be fine. Any battery that needs its own battery door won't work with the otterbox.

Just want to add that as much as I love the otterbox, I have gone through 3 of them in a year and they are no longer in production so if it breaks you will not be able to get a replacement under warranty

Thanks for the heads up. I have ordered a cheap case from amazon but still desperately want to find an otterbox. Their cases are so amazing, it sucks there are so few out there for the G2. I am a mission now, seems every store online that lists it says its out of stock once you buy and send the money..
I wonder how good the battery life on seido batteries are, currently I'm using a 1520mah oem battery.

I've heard conflicting reports so good luck. I might try on eventually but I'm getting solid life out of stock for now. Finally found an otterbox on eBay and it's coming next week can't wait. .

Just out of curiosity before I get one, does anybody know if the wireless charging orb will work when I have the Seidio Active Case on my N4? Or does it have to be naked?
Thanks
I'd be worried about the way the conduction heating would affect the metal kickstand - which, AFAIK, is the only N4 model available.
I'm currently using it right now with no problem. Charges all the way, don't need to put it a certain way, just drop and go.

Wireless charging with or without the case makes the phone warm. I noticed no difference in temperature with or without my case. Case works fine with charger.
just to inform you guys, any slider case will scratch the phone. and it scratched my pretty baby. Not that bad, a scuff at the chrome frame. but I just feel very sad I didn't feel like that with my iphone 4 for some reason the metallic frame got scratched pretty bad but I didn't care lol.. our Nex 4 is a true beauty baby
Has anybody got this bad boy?

And a review by my main man Flossy!
It also has built in Wireless Charging and I'm sure you can use a ZeroLemon 3000mah standard battery to increase it from 5600mah to 6000mah!
Sweet! Just wish it had a back stand too lol

Nice. I might consider it but I really don't have any battery life problems, guess I don't use it enough. Looks like it would support NFC as well given you use your stock battery in it, that would be a plus for me. Unfortunately that isn't stated anywhere I looked.
Anyway thanks for the info. Will strongly consider this if I should find myself in need of a longer life. Course carrying a second battery isn't that big a deal, I do for backup. Fits nicely in my jacket pocket that fit my old feature phone... Don't even notice it.
I would get it but it doesn't come in black.
Just a warning to anybody that gets this, it does not fit with a glass screen protector on (MIME Feather Glass to be exact). Other than that, it's a very nice case.

Seriously, I hope they make it in black eventually.

I too want a black case to go with my black s4. I'm thinking about getting it anyway.
Just got it.
Seems to work great, no loss to sound quality and have already gotten use to the slightly heavier feel. All and all, I think it works great and have seen little if any depreciation of reception. :good:
hmm...this product looks really interesting...I really hate bulky extended batteries, but this case might be a great compromise.
how much ?
The big problem is 2.4 oz. (70.5g) and *Wireless charging works only with Qi Mode. Qi receiver is optional and sold separatelya a
looks cool..but I agree, I'd need to see it in black to consider it.
Black color - $10 and I'd buy it.
hmm cheapest I've found for this case is $29.00 at http://www.nomorerack.com/daily_deals/view/678723-dyconn_x4_power_3000mah_case_for_samsung_galaxy_s4

I just ordered from this link thanks. I used PayPal though just in case.
My order still said processing but I already received the case, nice buddy.
For any of you wanting this case, i have had it for about a month and it makes the worst creeking noises from the plastics. When your on the phone and you move the phone around the other person can hear it an cuts in and out.
just wanted to give a heads up

Just got the case today and loving it. Only a few annoyances so far... it does creak a little bit on the sides and the power button is kind of hard to press.
