Hi
I'm looking for a dock now for two reasons, once is I got extra battery and I need charger for it and second is because its cool ;P
But I use case (double protection silicone + plastic) and all I find is those who fits the dhd with no cover.. :/
I cant believe that not most of the people use case protector so these stores would make atleast 1 dock that would fit it..
I also tried to contact about 20 different stores asking them if it would fit their dock and all said no
Can you please help me find 1?
That fits with case and of course can charge batteries..
Thanks,
Yarden
anybody?
don't be shy..
Same question here...
Ive had a really good look around Ebay but havent found any myself. Also quite interest...I believe its because the USB plug is not able to support the weight of the phone therefore, needed to sides to be supported as a result, these docks are made to the shape of the phone, without case.
I hate it but you are right..
I'll just build my own custom one.

Then bring it in production, i'm sure it will be popular!
I have the Samsung OEM Wireless Charging back on my Note 4 and the issue I am running into is finding a protective case that fits with the added thickness. I tried a QI charge tab just added inside the standard back, which was ok, but the charge receiver died pretty quickly.
Anyone have any experience finding a case that works with this configuration?
Thanks!
Peter
I'm in the same boat as you Peter. I have an Otterbox and another at home that don't fit. I've also talked to Otterbox and they said they have no plans to make one that would fit with the charging cover.
Hopefully, someone can find one soon that fits properly. I hate having my phone naked!

I wonder if the blue Samsung Protective+ cover will fit over it.

Thanks Bbc, but I doubt it. I don't think with the added thickness of the cover, it would fit. If someone would be willing to try, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Everyone.
I am looking for a docking station (mostly for charging) for Note 4.
The catch is that I would love to have it working with Spigen Neo Hybrid case, specially because they have released aluminium version of it (http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...te-4/galaxy-note-4-case-neo-hybrid-metal.html).
So far I know that Neo Hybrid case is too thick on the bottom to let the USB port form official Samsung Multimedia Dock reach phone USB socket.
Does anyone have any experience with any docking station which would charge Note 4 in Neo Hybrid ?
This is one of the primary reason why I dump the Spigen Neo Hybrid I had for my S4. It looks like Spigen carried forward the design problem to the Note 4. I'm having no problem using my charging dock with my Note 4 that has a Samsung Protective Cover.

What dock do you have? I also have the Protective Cover and have tried 2 docks. Neither one works with the case on.

Here is the Amazon link for the dock,
http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-Univers...id=1423083361&sr=8-4&keywords=cell+phone+dock.
I bought one a couple of years ago and it work with my S4 and UAG case. Now it is working with my Note 4 with the Samsung Protective Case.

THANKS! And the USB plug is long enough to reach through the case? That's the only problem I've been having. All of the USB plugs on the docks are too short, even those which are supposed to support a slim case.
BTW, @TherionTheGreat:
After Friday, (and after jhom52 confirms my question) I'll order this dock. Friday is payday. I also have a Neo Hybrid case (it made my phone too wide and tall, but was really nice, so I kept it JIC). I can try the dock with the both cases I have.

Yep. It works with my Note 4 with the Samsung Protective Cover and my S4 with UAG case. I use it every night to charge my device.

Just had to confirm!
I've bought and returned 2 docks from Amazon so far and don't want to do it again. -_-

No problem. Unless they changed the design, you should have a working dock for your device. Enjoy.

I will!
And I'll report back here ASAP with how it works with the Neo Hybrid case I have.

Given my experience with the S4 and the Neo Hybrid, I'll bank on the dock not working with the Note 4 Neo Hybrid.

Honestly, I agree, but I can at least test it since I already have the case and will be getting the dock anyways.
The Neo Hybrid case adds almost 1/8 inch to each side of the Note 4, so the phone gains an additional 1/4 inch in height and width. So, finding a dock that has a USB connector long enough to reach past the extra 1/8 inch on the bottom of the phone+case, and still fully plug into the phone will be pretty hard. But, as I just said, I'll still try it. Who knows? Maybe it'll work.
EDIT: BTW, the case I'm always using is in fact the Samsung Protective Cover. OP, if you are looking for an alternative to the Neo Hybrid, I highly recommend the Protective Cover. It's really a nice case, pretty slim, and is really comfortable in the hand. More comfortable than the Neo Hybrid.
Personally, I don't understand the design of some case companies. There is little consideration about the impact of their design on other aspects of the device such as in this case charging stands.

Thank you for suggestion. I already have 2 cases which fit perfectly in Samsung multimedia dock (from Note 2 I believe). One of them is Spigen Capsule and other one is Diztronic.
I just really like the design of new version of Neo Hybrid with real aluminium (looks like Note 4 itself). But it has to fit to the stand. Samsung multimedia dock has too short USB plug.

I am looking forward to hear about your experience with this dock. Thank you.

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Uni...sim_cps_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=15FY5K212N5WMP0WPB9S. Here is link to a less expensive version of the same dock I bought. They look exactly the same but distributed by a different company. I believe this is closer in price to the one I bought.
@TherionTheGreat:
The dock arrived today and YES, the Neo Hybrid case DOES work with it!
The dock has a spring loaded piece that the micro USB port sticks through. You put your phone on the dock and press down on the phone until it starts charging. After that, you release the phone and it should stay in place because it will rest up against a pretty "sticky" (not sticky as in leaves residue) rubber part. I put my phone in my Neo Hybrid and put it on the dock. I had to press fairly firmly (not enough to possibly cause damage to phone, case, or dock, but enough to add pressure), and sometimes it took me two tries, but the phone charged! I even lifted the dock and gently tapped it against my dresser a few times and the phone kept charging!
I have a few pics.
The first one is of my phone's charging light while my phone is on the dock with the Neo Hybrid case on.
The second picture is of my lockscreen while the phone is sitting on the dock and wearing the Neo Hybrid Case. (The black bar is just me censoring my real name, which I have on my lockscreen).
Third picture is of the front of the dock. Notice the black rubber piece (looks gray in the picture)
Fourth is of the front with me pressing down on the spring loaded part.
If you're still interested in the dock, buy from the link in the post above. At the time when I bought mine (from the original link), there were only 3 left in stock.

Good to hear that the dock works with the Neo Hybrid. Spigen must have widen the USB port on the Note 4 version as compared to the S4 version.

Be careful the explosive if the source is not a reliable one...

Great to hear that. Thank you. I will try to order it. It even looks like the usb plug is very long.

Welcome
I didn't even take the USB cable out of its package. I just used the stock Samsung one that came with my phone. I can measure the dock's USB if needed. I'm at work right now, but can do it later tonight.

Pretty sure a dock won't make your phone explode. Only a third-party battery or charger, or even a charger that's too powerful.

I am looking for a flip case that would also be usable with the Pogo charging dock station:
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...axy-tab-s4-charging-dock-pogo-ee-d3100tbeguj/
As you can read from the dock reviews, it is not usable with the official Tab a cover which makes the dock kind a useless.
Atm I am using some random chinese cover with Tab A and it does not work either with the dock. The slit in the dock is so slim that the cover should be super slim when folded or something like that.
If anyone knows a cover that one doesn't need to be strip off the tab before entering the dock, pls let me know.
Every now and then I check what aliexpress has to offer but so far none of the cases seem to be compatible with a Pogo dock. Please post here if you find one.
Have the same tab with dock. So far no luck on finding a compatible case.
