You didn't say what kind of dock you are searching for (desktop, car, etc) but I just ordered the Belkin desktop dock for $25 shipped. Its design lends itself well to cases. I wanted a reputable brand; there are tons of "cheap" Chinese docks on eBay and sites like DealExtreme but they are often very poor quality.

i got my car dock from verizon it clips onto my vent & it clamps down to the phone, with cushions of course.
only cost me $15 with my 25% discount

The smart dock for the note 2 works with some cases. I use it with a DBA cases ultra with no problems. And it charges at 2amps. I yse it every night to charge my s4. Here is a link

Because the s4 is basically the same physical body as the s3, it should work fine in any s3 dock, but when I went to order an s3 dock, they had the option for s4 (no difference?) but I'll find out soon enough.

I need a desktop dock

I like it but not for 100 bucks. I need a simple dock just for charging.

I got the Belkin dock, the build quality is good but my s4 will only connect without a case. I have considered cutting some of the plastic away but the USB port to make a better connection but not got round to it yet.
The S4 actually connects better without a case to the zenis dock I used on my s2.

I'm guessing you have a pretty thick case. I use a thin case.

With the spigen neo hybrid there is no chance of it connecting but even had a little trouble with the Samsung genuine flip case that adds nothing to the size of the s4. I can use the flip case on my old zenis s2 dock fine.

Remember the Mofi Pouch

Once again, I just want to remind everyone of the Mofi pouch.
You can see Matias Duarte taking the Nexus 4 out of a Mofi pouch here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=66-4uMQqerA#t=36s
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this since I've used this pouch ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. Bought it twice and will probably buy one more when I order the Nexus 4.
I'm not luckyexpress168, just of fan of the high quality product. Here's his/her store link:

I bought that as well when I got my Galaxy Nexus but yes, this is thicker and because N4 is 5mm shorter in length, it should fit better than even the Galaxy Nexus.
Which item are you guys purchasing? I don't see Nexus 4 anywhere.
awesome! I was wondering what case Matias was using! Just ordered the "Kangaroo" version (not because I'm Aussie ) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/36046530...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3419wt_1397 (This should fit the Nexus 4, Nexus 4 is smaller than the SGS3 except for the thickness)

Are these MoFi pouches totally soft or do they have material that provide firmness? If I am not mistaken, the MoFi pouch seems to be just soft fabric.
(I've been using a leather pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, which provides good protection against edge drops.)

Yes they are completely soft, but from my experience with my HOX they are plenty thick enough to protect the screen when I dropped it. Kind of like a synthetic felt kind of fabric which cleans the screen every time you push/pull your phone from the pouch; quite a tight fit though... headphones never really fit in too well. Still, best pouch I ever owned and much better than a bully case. Had a bright orange one myself, sucker for bright colours hope that helps.
I really, really want a Mofi pouch, but I'm not sure which one I should order! What device is closest to the Nexus 4 in terms of dimensions?
To those that keep their phones in pouches, too you guys put the phone and pidgin your pocket or do you keep both in a bag? Random and weird question, I know. I wear Levis 511 and am curious how you guys carry them

I think a Galaxy Nexus pouch would fit the N4.
The tmobile t989-galaxy s2 case is like 4 mm off height wise, but almost spot on everywhere else.
Specs via phonearena.com
Nexus 4- 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm
T989- 130 x 69 x 9 mm

I would agree with that statement. If you watch theVerge video where they are talking to Matias, he pulls the Nexus 4 out of the Mofi Pouch. Since i don't think anyone at Google told Mofi about the specific dimensions, and it's not likely that he has a GS3 since he works at Google, my bet is that he used the Mofi Pouch with his Galaxy Nexus and it fit great via the video.

SFbags(Nexus 4) pouch

http://www.sfbags.com/products/cellphonecases/cell-phone-cases.php
Just ordered the GS3 pouch to fit with my diztronic hardcase thats shipped out, if there is enough material left at the top, I'm thinking a premium button would work to snap it closed,..we'll see in couple days
I brought one of these for my N4. Can't recommend enough!
I have been looking for something this simple. Thanks for the link I just bought one. Note that there's a small note on the site saying #76 fits the N4.
tempted to order one, do you guys think N4+rearth slim case fit the default N4 size. Or should I get the bigger one, eg One X.. hmm

I have both, and with the case it's a really tight fit. ill see if i can post pics in the evening
I purchased a leather sleeve from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00992V0WW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00) but it was too snug (yes, I realize the leather would break-in) but it was VERY difficult to remove the phone and frequently the power/volume buttons would get pressed in doing so.
I just ordered one of these (#76); can't wait to get it! $12 seems like a nice price shipped as well (sorry non-US persons).

I will be interested in how it works. If the mofi pouch does not work with my diztronic TPU case, I might do the same.
PS You can contact them with the exact measurements of your encased N4. They will verify what size will work best.

To clarify, you are referring to the Nexus 4 sized [#76] one right? Not the Galaxy S3 sized one, which OP has ordered?

I just got back an e-mail from Waterfield about the bumper + phone fit and their phone. I had found the dimensions to the phone with the bumper on from a another thread (and am assuming that they're true).
Thanks for checking in with us. You'd probably have to go with a bigger size because our #76 size is meant to be a snug fit the Nexus 4 naked, i.e. without case. So anything bigger would be too tight or not fit at all.
You're on the right track to give me the new measurements of your phone with case on. Based on those specs, it looks like the closest fit would be our #84 size which was made for the Samsung Galaxy Note (5.78" x 3.26" x 0.38" in).

I've had one of these sleeves for my Nexus S. Overall it was very minimal and was perfect for what I wanted (although it did gather a lot of dust on it). But, I am not sure about going with something that doesn't fit so snug - as there's nothing keeping the phone in the sleeve besides the cloth itself.
I have a pouch 73 (for S3) and am sad to report that NO the pouch no longer fits when the phone has the official bumper on. The pouch needs to be about 80mm width in order to fit the phone.

That's too bad. Do you have any other case? If so, please check whether it works with it .. I think the bumper significantly changes the dimensions of the phone compared to other cases like diztronic.
My diztronic hardcase+pouch should arrive today
Update: my case is in, should have the pouch tomarrow
Update 2: I should have the case today, sold my evo v yesterday so won't be able to post pics of it on the phone

Any good kickstand cases for S4 ?

I'm looking for something like this :
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Holster...67243950&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+s4+kickstand
The design of the case is perfect, not very thick, can kickstand portraid/landscape, and even use it as a hook for a firmer grip. But to me it is a very cheap looking / feeling case I want something more premium with the same functionality ?

A little on the pricey side, but they make great cases.
I bought the Seidio Active combo w/ kickstand this morning. I had an Active on my Nexus S for 2 years, very durable case...
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2
The Seidio Surface case with the kickstand arrived today. I was a little worried about how much the kickstand would protrude, but it's only about 2 mm, so I'm glad I got it. I've also used Seidio cases for many years. My last one (S2) is still as good as new and I've had it since the phone was released for Sprint. Aside from the durability, I use multiple batteries and their cases are quick to take on and off.

Best buy's platinum series of cases are near identical to seidio, but about $20 cheaper. There is one with a belt holster and kickstand. I have it on my s4, and am quite pleased.

I want to buy a new case, there are lots of cases but I would like to get any recommendation from someone who use these kind of cases - Hybrid , silicon + plastic, if its possible I preffer ones that cover the micro usb (and headphone jacket).
Thanks!

There is a Spigen case with S-View for Galaxy S4. It looks quite interesting:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294
Tigerdirect has genuine Samsung wireless charging s-view cases in white for $5 after a $25 rebate. Got mine today. I like the way it looks. It sits flat on the screen. It charges wirelessly without any fiddling. But there is no hole for the notification light. And it can be a little tough to open it since the cover fits flush with the edge. If I get the rebate, $5 well spent.
Is there any way to open apps like camera using the s-view on Galaxy S4?
