A nice case from Amazon Germany... http://www.amazon.de/Ultra-Slim-Iconia-Tasche-Standfunktion/dp/B0084UXK5U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1339761848&sr=8-5

Got it today. Fits perfectly. All plugs (headphones, micro-USB, HDMI, micros-SD-card slot) are accessabel, speakers are uncovered, so a clear sound like without a case.

Just placed an order for this case:

It's the same as the one above.
Nice slim design, but for transportation in a bag I use this one too, because the slim one is not dust-proof:
(Case Logic PLS210K)
Sadly the power connector doesn't fit when the slim case is closed, caused by the angular jack:

In a nutshell, make sure to find a USB Power Adapter that puts out 2A of juice. Most non-tablet AC adaptors only put out 1A, which isn't enough for a tablet.

But you are saying that this Power adapter would be fine then? And just plug the USB cable that came with the tab?

It *SHOULD* work. I cannot say with 100% certainty... at least not until mine shows up next week.

What the hell are you talking about ! we already stated that IT SHOULD NOT WORK ! look at the acer charger, they added a pin so it cannot be plugged on anything than A700, that's because that special port is 12V, where classic usb is only 5V. More tests are saying that it will work but only very very slow (24 hours ?) and if the tablet is turned off, also, charge led will be off. Because of this special 12V thing, A700 won't charge on usb, at regular speed, ever.

I plugged the wall charger for my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (5V, 1.0A output) into my A700 last night. It went from 56% charge at 2300 hrs to 100% charge at 0700 hrs this morning. I'll try it with a notebook USB port (5V, 0.5A) tonight. I'll also post this in the USB Charging thread.

I'll report back when I get them.

So basically we can't buy extra ac adapters right now?
I checked the ACER store and nothing. Nothing I can find on ebay or amazon either.

Wanted to provide feedback on the Poetic Hardback Case.
Pros: Construction quality of this case is very nice. Leather is good quality and the case is very sturdy. There is an elastic band that you can use to hold the case to the back of the A700 when "opened flat," and the handstrap is a very convenient feature when in that configuration. When opened tilted, I found that the four different viewing angles were suitable for my needs. The case is also sturdy enough for me to use on uneven surfaces like my lap. Finally the stylus holder is a nice touch.
Cons: Due to the material, I am speculating that it might inhibit heat dissipation. This is only speculation at this time.

^^^ This. :-( If I keep the A700 for the long haul, I'm going to cut my case to alleviate this.

I just leave it open while loading.

Vehicle Dock Mount

HI all,
Just upgraded from a GSIII to GS4. Now I need a better fitting windshield mounting dock. For the GSIII, it was general knowledge that the AT&T Samsung INFUSE 4G dock fit the GSIII and it did for the most part. I really like the slide up into the phone style USB port, so I have no cables to fuss with. I know there's Qi charging but I am not going there just yet..
The S4 barely fits into the INFUSE dock but it takes being very gentle and very slightly bending the dock for the phone to snap in.
I am open to other ideas... suggestions?

I am very happy with my iBolt dock. I purchased mine off eBay and the dash mount disk kept falling off. Oddly the sticky pad stuck to the dash but the disk itself would come off. I called iBold and they shipped me a new one without hesitation.

Looks really nice but 1) as mentioned I'm looking for something with a USB port that slides into place... which is much easier than a cable attachment. 2) I'm more of a portrait kind of layout person.

As for your first request, I agree and wanted the same but could not find one. I have however come to appreciate the design, as that cable is stiff and holds itself in place so it's easy to pop in place, or not if its a short drive. Additionally, I've found the micro usb port on this phone is very tight and I have difficulty getting it to slip into my home dock, it has to line up exact. Lastly, with the aforementioned design of the port, it would impossible to accommodate the plethora of case size variations.
As for portrait view, that is totally doable, it rotates. Anoter neat feature is that the camera is not covered so if you desire, you can snap pics or video of that &%@$ driver in front of you.
No, I don't work for, nor am compensated by iBolt, though I should be. Just a happy customer. :beer:

The Craigsdock dock is the best I've tried. It is slim looking and has built-in charging and you can dock/undock with one hand. And it has a charger, did I mention that? Not one where you have to manually insert the charging cable like the iBolt makes you do. This is more like a very-slim-looking Infuse dock but without the audio and bulk.
You can swap out the existing cable for a USB-audio cable or anything else.
Costs a bit, but it'll last a lifetime and works with all large Samsung phones from S3 to S4 to Note II. So you don't have to upgrade your dock every time you upgrade your phone. And it also works with all the bulky cases too.
I've tried all the docks from Infuse to iBolt to generic and it's the best I've used yet.

It sounds like a ProClip might suit you well. I have been using these holders with various devices for about 10 years. I don't have my GS4 yet, so I can't comment on these ones specifically. However, I can tell you to expect a high-quality product that fits the device perfectly. Check them out:
http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-holders/device/samsung/galaxy-s4.cmsv
This one's doing the trick for me, it's closest to the GS3 iBolt dock.

Hi all,
I've ordered the iBOLT xProDock. I'm sure it is fantastic and will certainly do the job. That said, it is quite expensive. This should hold me over until and if Samsung or anyone else makes a dock similar to the lovely Infuse dock with the "slide into place" USB charger.
This should also come in handy for those many times such as this that I get a new phone and am stuck without a suitable dock.
Another vote for the iBolt. Ordered it for my S3, been used for One +, One and S4. Great little system! And their support is great!
Surfing the Web a couple of days ago I come across this http://www.kickstarter.com/project...ergy-worlds-best-wireless-smartphone-charger

As far as the dual standing desktop charger goes, do we know if this will work with the factory receiver backing plate? The Tylt View does not because the receiver on the phone is in the wrong place for it.

This is the same with my sanwa/maxell standing charger base, although it does have 7 coils, the samsung wireless back does not work the normal way, you have to place the phone upside down or horizontally.

I have the expower charger and matching ultra thin card
Very unobtrusive doesn't get to hot while charging and has quite a decent pickup area when used with the ultra slim card cost for the charger and card around £34 from amazon whole pad is about 12 mm thick and around 65 mm in diameter. Charges my s5 through an otterbox defender no problem.

I agree, the powerqi T200 is a decent charger, the coils and PCB is good quality and does have a good detection with most phones, but I prefer the metrans MWT 03S, much smaller and very good detection, but only available in black with aluminum frame, I would like to see a whte version.
MWT 03 all plastic
MWT 03S with aluminum frame.
I highly recommend these, although they are single coil, they detect the phone pretty well and charge pretty cool, with good style, the LED is not so bright and they are made in korean.
Now i'm using the Araree/powerholic different names in different market, the uneven surface allows the phone to charge cooler.
The edge of the center part has a rubber ring to prevent the phone from slipping or moving around.

I got a wireless charger and receiver on ebay it is round and slanted so I use it almost like a dock
the issue is the phone keeps turning on and gives me the BAttery fully charged notification.. is there a way to stop that notification?
also the wireless charging notification comes on as a box and while that is on I can not do anything on the phone and have to wait 5seconds for it to go away .. it would be nice if the wireless charging notification could be much less intrusive..
P.s. my charger charges the phone at 620ma which is better than my 10ft long usb charger at 300ma and worst than my wall charger at 1200ma.
Has anyone managed to try a few of these out? Any comments on which works the best?
Personally after having 4 different 3rd party chargers I've stuck to the Samsung ones. They just seem less fussy about placement. They also don't have annoyingly bright LEDs. Over here they are £25 on Amazon. Worth paying the extra £10 or so over the cheaper ones.
Do any of these 3rd party chargers work with the Samsung s view wireless case?
Portable Wireless Charger Power Bank 4000 mAh
I was wondering if anyone has tried the Qi-infinity™ Portable Wireless Charger Power Bank 4000 mAh on Amazon. Unfortunately, I cannot link it because I haven't posted a lot on XDA.
It has great reviews from verified purchasers but I'm still skeptic. I'll place an order for it tomorrow morning if no one has tried it and update when I've used it.

[Q] Which cases fit the magnetic dock?

I'm currently using a magnetic charging cable and it's great not having to ever open the usb flaps and use the usb socket each time I charge, but it's a drag having to keep my case open while it charges; plus, it can take up to a minute to attach the damn thing. I got a cheap case off eBay which is starting to break so I'm after a new one but it seems impossible to know which cases will fit in the dock.
If you have a dock and a case/cover, and assuming you recommended the case/cover, could you reply here stating the brand/model? Thanks!
Cruzerlite Bugdroid does not fit
I have the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU shell and can confirm this does not fit the stand with the standard adapters. I don't like the Book style cases and am not impressed by the Sony versions anyway. The gap in the dock is very thin so I'd be amazed if there are any cases that will fit with the standard adapters and protect the phone from drops. I should have checked this before buying the dock. I'm now looking to modify like another user on here with sticky backed foam.

I scooped this one off eBay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/291245971777
Fits well and I like the way they did the cutouts because it seems to keep the power or camera buttons from getting pressed by mistake when the phone is in my pocket. The insert I used for the dock is stamped 34B and I think it's the insert for the Xperia Z3 Compact but it fits perfectly.
I have a Tudia case off Amazon, and the DK48 inserts are too thin . Looking to go the foam insert route, or dremel one of the inserts to open it up a tad. Thought about returning it and buying the Z2 dock (DK36). But it is more expensive (on Amazon at least), and I am not guaranteed it will work either.

The only thing is that you need to take out that plastic adapter since the case is too bulky. If you run it naked like in this picture with the plastic adapter off it works nicely and the phone doesn't feel loose at all while charging:

I use a Tudia case on mine:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TUDIA-Bumper-Protective-Compatible-Verizon/dp/B00OPW1SD2
It has a dock port cutout,
However i bought a replica of the sony charger, not the real deal and they gave me 3 adapters all the same size, So i had to do alittle DIY and sanded one of the adapters to fit my case, It works perfectly and with the Tudia case it's so much easier to slot the dock in
With using the Cruzerlite TPU cases, which charging dock will it fit it? I have the dock for the Z1 that I was using for the Z1s and the Z3 fit without the case (with putting a piece of folded up paper behind it to hold it in place) but now after putting the case on it won't fit. Which charging dock will hold the Z3 with the Cruzerlite TPU case on it?
The Casemate Barely There case fits the DK48 dock perfectly with one of the inserts. No mods required.

Yeah, I had been using the DK31 which fit it fine before the case... would the DK48 hold the Cruzerlite TPU case as well? I'm sticking to that case and am trying to confirm which dock will hold it.

LG V10 Leather back with wireless charging review

I ordered this from Ebay 10 days ago and got it in the mail today from China.
First things first, this is real leather! The smell and feel is genuine leather, although very thin. The grip feels similar to my T-mobile brown leather back I had previously on my G4. It's actually pretty soft and supple. The leather does not surround the whole back, but just the rear side of the back. The sides of the back are smooth black plastic.
The fit is a little more snug than the factory LG back. The back clipped nice and tight, but mine had a little gap by the headphone jack. I did not see any other gaps elsewhere. This may just be a mold issue and YMMV. The back is slightly thicker than the factory one. It's only noticeable when pressing the volume down button, where you can feel the back is slightly thicker. I only have one case (spigen ultra thin) and it fits perfectly, and wireless charging works over the case as well.
Wireless charging works perfect, but the sweet spot is quite small. I feel that is more to do with the charger i'm using, than the coil in the back. Either way, I have no problem placing the phone on the charger first try. Using ampere with the screen on, I see on average 700mA. Side note, when my phone was placed on my wireless charger (Nokia DT900) I can hear an ever so slight whine noise. I heard it too previously on my S6 Edge Plus using the same charger, but it is a tad louder on this wireless charging back. Not sure if its the charger, or the coils.
My final thoughts are that it is well worth the $15 shipped. The leather feel is fantastic, and wireless charging is a big bonus! The ebay user I used (which I have zero connections with) is : connectionstation
Some pics!

First, thanks so much for posting this. I'm sure a bunch of us who want wireless charging will look into this for a more premium feel. The normal back of this V10 makes me think how Samsung missed out on such a market with The grip-feel of The back of this V10. Plastic or rubber like and phone is huge but because off The textured back I haven't dropped it once ( ok well I did drop it once but no damage)
Questions for you before I buy:
Grip: which back is easier to grip? Is this a super smooth leather or do the oils from your finger/leather help grip it?
Sounds like you would obviously recommend: does the color match the phone? It looks great in pictures.
Does it raise the camera any more off the table than the normal back? I scratched black ring around camera while putting on screen protector while it was on the table. I can't tell by pictures.
Thanks
Received my "buttery" cover today too. "Chargerg" works good with my TYLT charger. Sweet spot is more forgiving than my note 5 on that thing.
I agree with everything else.
Grip is still pretty good. Less free feeling on a glass table. Grips a smooth surface.

A little darker black and about the same mold to camera as the factory one. A little raise but not above the lens.

I ordered the same listing, but brown
@skyline23 @secretLOVER which ones did you guys buy, mind sharing links?
I really dig that it looks very similar to the G4 backs.
If you search for user : connectionstation you should find it.
Does it charge to full capacity?
Is it quick charge?
Is there an overheating issue?

Thanks for your information, the wireless backs actually look better than I expected, the seller should use your pics, he would sell more of them I ordered one from another listing because it was so inexpensive although in most cases I'm going to prefer fast charging to wireless charging.
Just ordered the red one. Thanks for your review.

Yeh, the red looks good and matches the gold well, too bad the front of the phone is not red, and the back buttons, then it will be perfect.

If the the stations you bought are qi they should be compatible with a qi back. Someone mentioned fast chargers for samsung note not working.
Here is mine in Brown, didn't find this thread, was buried deep..

I would also like to know. Also, how sturdy are the clips on it? I might change my Battery out a couple times a month and don't want to have my back snap off.

It's as good as my original IMHO, tad snugger. So you press slightly harder to snap in place and have to run your nail through detaching most to get it off.

Can you do better than that? Without at least a product name, no one can possibly find the product you're talking about... How about a direct link? (witrig.com ain't a thing.)
EDIT: Nevermind
I am so sorry. I have no right to post a link before, so i just give a blurred address. http://www.witrigs.com/type-c-charging-dock-station-black Here is the Type-C charging dock. Hope it does help.

I don't think Sarvi dock supports USB C.

It sure does - you use your existing USB C cable. There's an adapter you run your cable through, then tighten the set screws to hold it in place. It's a pretty ingenious design, which explains why their kickstarter got funded so quickly.
If you view their videos, you'll see what I'm referencing.

It just holds the cable and works with any type according to their website. Another member posted in a separate OP saying it worked with the google type c cable. I have one enroute so I'll let you know
Can confirm that the Sarvi dock works perfectly fine with the stock Google USB-C cable (I have one currently sitting on my desk - pic of it in another thread)
LuckyDragan said:
I'm using the Sarvi Dock paired with the official 3 ft-long USB A-C cable from the Google Store. Pretty happy with it so far because its adapter system lets me use any cable of varying connector size and its 100% case-compatible just by adjusting how much the USB connector sticks out from the docking base, and the angle at which the phone rests. There's a thin rubber strip that keeps the phone from wobbling side to side, and sticky feet on the bottom so it stays firmly on my desk. It's really solidly-built, with zero flex.
I put an NFC sticker on it so I could enable dock mode with just a tap, at the expense of preserving the minimalist design.
Backed it long before I knew the 6P existed, else I'd have gotten the matching aluminium one, but the white looks equally nice on my desk, as well.

Just picked up 2 in Grey, thanks a lot my man. May not use it a ton at work as I can't seem to kill the battery, but I miss having a nice stand here.
Thanks for this, ordering one as well! I miss a dock for my office desk.
Any concern that it appears the only thing supporting the phone is the USB-C connector? Any accidental movement causing the phone to shift side to side could damage the plug, right?
I received my Sarvi Dock a couple of days ago and love it - so much I'm ordering another for the office. Looks great, works great.

The phone rests against a back support that has a silicone pad, which stabilizes and holds the phone in position. You can set the depth of the USB C male connector so the phone rests on the base.
Barring a significant lateral blow to the phone in stand, I have zero concern about the design and potential damage to the connector. Just my 2¢.
Regarding these docks, do you need to hold the dock down with one hand while pulling the phone up with the other in order to unplug the phone? All my USB C connections seem quite stiff

I bought the Sarvi dock, and it depends on the cable you use. I used my 6ft Google cable and I can remove my phone 1 handed without the dock moving. The Sarvi dock isn't exactly what I expected and despite looking nice the cable set up is more of a makeshift solution IMO. The dock works, but there are some questionable design choices for it that certainly could have been implemented better.
