i also have this case...and not to come down on you Hogowner, cause im just trying to help the original poster out...but it is an awesome case and it is very easy to put in and pull out of holster. Well worth the money.

have the same case..its pretty good except I would prefer it to protect top and bottom completely and also lip over edge

Yeah I love this holder. Bought 2 just in case it ever breaks and they stop carrying it.

I own this case as well and it has been great so far. Not super thick and the kickstand, while not a marvel of engineering, works well enough. I do not use the holster, just the case.

I searched for all cases with a kickstand and this was really the only one I found and I love it. Protects the phone well.
Gremlins are watching you...

I wish there was a replacement battery cover with built in kickstand. Since my iphone 3gs I've been a naked cell user.

Same here, and it'd allow for docking on desk and car docks as well.

I also have the kickstand case and its a nice case. Amazon has them around 11 bucks i think too. They are 30 at Verizon for the case and holder.

Like the case, hate the clip so I popped it off. Used it for about a month and had no issues but I did worry about the lack of protection on the top and bottom. I now have a TPU case from cruiserlite and am quite happy with it. I will be switching back and forth with that and the kickstand.
Just as long as it's not the verizon silicone case you'll be fine.

Same here, until the kickstand broke off during a fall. Case still works well though....considering my harsh use that led to the breakage in the first place

Best car windshield dock?

I just bought a 2011 Camry, so I want to make sure it's good quality. Anything out there yet?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I'm excited too. Mine will get here on Wednesday, but I doubt much will be available until after the official release date, the 29th.

Nothing but mislabeled universal junk out there!

I ordered a car adapter for this bad boy, to prepare for a nice landscape dock once it arrives, hopefully soon.

I didn't get anything yet. I meant, I'm waiting for it to arrive for me to buy!

Alternative Solution
I had a mytouch 4g a little back and I purchased the windshield mount for it as well. Now I have the g2x and the same car dock works as well. Point being, and especially since the mytouch 4g is almost the same phone, try that out. The dock comes with a mount for the dash as well...

Is there a link? Are you referring to the official branded one?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App

I'm planning to get one from these guys as soon as they make one for the slide. I've had mounts from them for 2 other phones, and they were both awsome.
http://www.proclipusa.com/Default.asp?tcd=27301191

Went out looking for universals last night. Radio Shack had nothing. Best Buy had an overpriced one from Rocketfish that didn't swivel or hold the Slide horizontally...
The waiting continues.

I stopped by the T-Mobile store at lunch today, and the official car dock for the MT4GS is there. $59.99.

wow! Although, I'd probably still buy it. What does it look like?

I would love to see a picture of this. I can not find any info about a dock made specifically for the slide.

Me too. I can't find anything online yet. I'm thinking about traveling out to the store to see if they have it in. Luckily the closest mall has 2 official T-Mobile stores!
I was thinking about getting the Arkon Mobile Flexible grip...
http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/mytouch-4g-slide-flexible-car-mount.html

I don't like those clips protruding from the front of the phone.

Sorry guys, I should've taken a pic. Usually the store I went to gets products later than other stores so I assumed it was out everywhere. I'll stop back by on Monday if nobody has found one by then.

Went to 2 T-Mobile stores...nothing.
And still nothing coming up online except for cheap universal garbage.

Here you go. It looks like a pretty solid product. Just not sure if I want to spend $60 on it right now. Probably will eventually, lol.

Hmm...$60 is STEEP
But I'll probably buy it.
The hardware looks solid. It has the camera hole so you could potentially take pics/video through the dock.
It looks like the same kind of thing released for the Evo.
Anyone find an online link?

I picked one up today at my local T Mobile store as well. The price is definitely steep but at least it comes with the charger and cable. My only reservation is that it does not have the option to go both vertical as well as horizontal. I know it is stupid but sometimes I do like the option. Overall it does have a solid feel except for the plastic that holds the phone in place. That piece came off a little to easy in my opinion.

Nokia wireless charging works.

Just got the n4 today. My Nokia wireless charger works fine.
You can buy it at Att or Verizon or Tmobile I'm guessing.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

so it doesnt work? Disconnecting randomly isnt doing what its supposed to do. I dont consider it working unless it works like normal.

I bought the JBL PowerUp speaker, also made for the lumia... Same issue with disconnecting. (( I'm so frustrated.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium HD app

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger

amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.

I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
I tired it in the store including holding it still and steady in every position imaginable and I still got the charging on and off cycling of doom.
So seriously, please post photos or a video.

yes, i would love if you can prove that it works.... i can pick up a nokia charger on the cheap..
I wonder if it makes a difference that he is using the dock as opposed to the pad? Thoughts

I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Love how " Droidz" disappeared when asked to take a pic/video as proof since everyone else had experienced the disconnect/connect issue... So I call bull until he provides proof. Don't waste you time or cash until he does.
Sent from my Nexus 7

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."

Best wireless charger?

I understand the Nexus 4 uses this chip, and the datasheet is here.
So, the receiver is about 90% efficient when charging. I am not sure, but as this is a charge controller too I think that quoted efficiency from page 12 is for the DC provided to the battery. This is quite good as obviously a non-wireless charge controller phone would have some losses when charging a battery.
I presume that by AC they mean from the wireless antenna rather than mains, so you would have to include the waste in the plug/transmitter too.
Edit: It looks like most of the losses are in the transmission, as the efficiency there is much lower. In that datasheet it suggests more like 72-74% maximum, which is about right if the manufacturers quote 70%.

Check this one out guys. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.

They sell it on amazon.de but don't seem to ship to Denmark
Found it on ebay for £37 here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-D...degeräte_Dockingstationen&hash=item27cce3049d
Just bought it from the above seller. Will post about it when I receive it and let everyone know what it is like

Hey, I have received an Energizer mat and can confirm that it does indeed work with no hiccups. Only problem is that the glass back makes the phone very slippery on the matte-like finish on the Mat. Until I figure out a way to make it stay it's pretty much a nuisance and not usable.

Just find an invisible shield on clearance (designed for some old junker phone) and stick it on the surface of the charger.

I picked up the Energizer Qi mat also and can confirm it works great. What I did to keep the phone from sliding is went and purchased one of those cheap grippy dashboard mats for cars and stuck it into the charger. No more slippy slippy.

Actually, I think the Poetic one has more appeal thanks to price, not availibility If I wanted to spend $20 to protect my phone, Id rather get a full case. $5 to offer small protection while still showing off the beautiful back is two thumbs up and a customer
