Hi All,
Well I've not really done many reviews so I may miss things or not do so well but will try to cover as much as I can, if you have any questions by all means ask. This is mostly my thoughts on the Noreve Leather case for the Nexus 4 and when used with Qi charging systems, there seems to be views and opinions on Qi chargers and some cases but none leather. I like to look after my phones, while the glass used these days is nice and strong I have found out the hardway that they still can break quite easily.
I've had bumpers, back covers and skins before but still had accidents involving broken screens from time to time. So I know try to look at covers that will protect the whole phone, normally a leather flip of book type case of some sort. After reading a few thoughts and reviews on Noreve cases on this forum I became very interested indeed. So I ordered one and let me say it is fantastic, the quality and finish of the final product is just simply beautiful. They are not a EL Cheapo PU leather case, infact they are fairly expensive but you would expect this considering it is a hand made item by a true craftsman using genuine leather.
The case's base is made from a molded plastic, with the sides being made from metal (most likely steel) and then has the leather fitted skillfully. Well then end product is simple and elegantbut extremely functional in providing full protection for your nexus 4. The sides are quite snug fitting, this case really holds your phone well and provide good side protection but allows use of all side keys and acess to charging / Headphone sockets. It closes quite positivly and stays shut very well, takes a little getting used to opening it but I like the secure feel of it.
Anyway, there's other revies of the quality fit 'n finish of this product. While it's not that cheap it is beautiful and doesn't bulk the phone up anywhere as much as you might think. Now the other thing I was also interested in was Qi charging, I've tried a few of the cheapies about but they had to have the phone in exactly the right spot or they didn't work. No option of just buying Googles Orb in Australia yet, so I found one being sold online from Gadgets4Geeks website.
They had a video showing this charger working with a few different types of cases, so I bought one to try out. Works fine with different cases just like the video shows, well will it work with a leather case?
Answer is this charging pads seems to work perfectly with the Noreve leather case, I've taken some photos of the phone in the case showing the wireless charging working and a few of just how beautiful and well made this case truely is.
The Qi Pad
Phone shown charging still sidesways, while the phone does need to be put in the right area for charging to work it's quite a decent area so the phone also charges fine even if placed down on a angle. Nice and easy, the other thing I like is it beeps when it's made a connection/started charging and then once again when charging is finished. Thats it, the charger then turns off, none of this repeated beeping on or off like some of the chargers out there.
Now a couple more close up shots showing the beautiful Noreve case and how well it fits the Nexus 4 offering both style with very good protection
The Noreve Tradition case for the Nexus 4
Which Noreve?

Any idea WHICH case this is from Noreve. Tradition isn't one of the options on the site, and I want to make sure that I get one that works with a Qi charger.
It's listed on their site, here's a link http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/pro...=2679&osCsid=ba83d3b5b01db61f347d18b1290b60cb
Then lower down is your selection of colours and different finishes to the leather, I bought mine from a different site though as it worked out cheaper than direct from Noreve. I got mine through MobileZap online, heres a link http://www.mobilezap.com.au/38454-noreve-tradition-case-for-google-nexus-4---brown.htm
Some of the Noreve cases have the option for a belt clip also but I didn't get that as I was worried the metal clip would stop the case siting flat as well as Qi charging not working. I have noticed that Qi charging is slower with a case fitted but I guess thats to be expected as the phone is further away from the charging surface, I really love this case and am so glad Qi charging at least works.

I too have a Noreve case for my new Nexus 7 but I have not been able to find a Qi charger that works with this case. Can you please tell me the brand so I can search for a source here in the US? Thanks!
Towards the end he mentioned Gadgets4Geeks.
Here is the link for the charger: http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/qi_wireless_charger
Yep, the QI charger I'm using is from Gadgets4Geeks. Still using it and the same leather case without any problems, the charger works a treat. I think it may charger slightly slower (though I've not timed/tested this) with the case than without. I don't ever take it out of the case, extremely happy with this set-up
Incase it helps the info on the underside of the Qi charger is this:
Wireless charging pad
Model: T-100

I've had a few cases so far. Ringke Flex and the Spigen Neo Hybrid.
I had the Spigen the longest, for maybe a month. It looks great, but the square design gets to be very uncomfortable and hard to reach areas of the phone while in use. The buttons are incredibly responsive. Which is a plus for casual use, not a plus when you don't want them to be as responsive, either in pocket or using as a camera. The Ringke Flex I had for a week. The case is a very nice fit, but the buttons are almost rock hard to push, the back is slippery due to an odd design, and the case still adds an extended bulk which is kind of strange.
My prior phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and had a Diztronic case after following up on great Amazon reviews. For whatever reason, I thought I would get something more visually appealing and fancy for this device.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQMDGG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In the end, I just went back to where I started. Unless you are one of those people who enjoy having a very bulky case (Lifeproof/Otter) for max protection, the Diztronic TPU case is a very nice slim fit, has the best matte finish I've seen for people with sweaty hands or just enjoy a better grip, and the phone physically still looks very appealing. The buttons are also the most tactile and responsive I've seen on the cases to date. Anyone looking for something minimalistic, but has some protection which is not over the top, you can do far worse then spending $10 on this case. Cannot recommend enough.
*Unfortunately tried to take photos, but my best camera is the one on the S5!
you think it would fit the OEM wireless back cover?

Technically, it does not fit the OEM wireless cover. However, I used a heat gun to stretch mine out, and the fit is OK, though not perfect. You can still see a little bit of the silver on the sides of the phone. The volume and power buttons work fine. I've been using the case now for over a week and there are no functionality issues.
Not familiar with the other backing myself. Like the other poster mentioned, it's a nice tight fit, so some finagling may be required to get it to work.

I agree. I had the Diztronic on my Nexus and the S5 case is even nicer. If you want something that will give a measure of protection without putting your phone in a hermetically sealed pickle jar, Diztronic is the answer.
Thanks guys! I don't come on XDA as often as I used to, but I was browsing the accessory thread this morning to do some research as to the demand of a case that will work with the wireless charging door. Nice start to my morning to find this thread!
It sounds like quite a few people want a case that will work with the official samsung charging door and their S5. I didn't make it before as my thinking was can't they just put a Qi receiver pad under their stock door and use any case they want? I guess the problem with that is it won't seal tight enough to keep water out. So a case that fits the wireless door is needed.
I'll think it over today. But I think there is a good chance well make a new case specifically for the wireless charging door. I'll post an update on our website if we do.
I would buy one. Already own diztronic case for s5 and s2. I think many of us would prefer a matte front (same finish as the back). The shiny black plastic all consumer electronic manufacturers are using looks cheap with reflections, scratches, and fingerprints.
Samsung should have included wireless charging in the s5 along with a magnetic charging port like the Nexus 10 pogo, and front speakers. Instead we have a worthless heart rate sensor.
We could try a matte front, I just don't think it looks as nice against the glossy screen. In my opinion the glossy lip blends better next to the display, almost like you don't even have a case on. Unlike our competitors that have recently started offering similar style cases as ours, only our front lip is glossy. Their cases the entire top half is glossy, similar to our old S2 case.
The S5 wireless charging door case could be a good model to test full matte on though.

you could always get this it wirelessly charges through the case just fine using it on my S5 with the neo hybrid case just fine. as for keeping the water protection it seems to work just fine put my phone in the fishtank for 25 mins with no issues to test it.

That's not a TPU case. It contains TPU on the inside, buts it's a dual layer two piece case with a polycarbonate shell. it's basically exactly the same as our Reactor case for the GS5. It's a fine case, but personally I don't like dual layer cases on my phone. Too bulky. According to that page you linked it weighs 5 ounces! That's a tank compared to a 21g TPU case. It's a totally different class of product then a traditional single layer TPU case. It also does appear to "borrow" heavily from UAGs design. I really hate it when companies do that, but it is what it is, happens in every industry.

I prefer to think of it as the screen protectors not being compatible with cases I think it's far more common for someone to only have a case than to only have a screen protector. The vast majority of people using screen protectors will also use a case. However many use a case but no screen protector. Given that, companies that make screen protectors should do a better job making sure their products can be used with a case.
To answer your question (somewhat) , I used a tempered glass SP on my old S4 and one of our cases. It was a bit of a stretch, but after a day or two it fit well enough. I haven't tested it on an S5 however. We are going to start adding a small amount of depth to our cases in the future, likely 0.25mm to better accommodate thick screen protectors. We have to be careful that the case still fits well for those that don't use screen protectors. The new OnePlus One is the first case well be testing this on.
Ive had this case for my S3. Wonderful case and great price.
Unfortunately, they dont ship to the Netherlands. I really want this one

Guys,
Here is the quick review of the Samsung Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging Case and the Fake China S-View Case and some other cases ( Wallets and TPU)
Question?
Just wanted to put my opinion in also mate. Gotta say this is the worst case I have owned on any phone. I bought this case as I wanted to try the flip case. Firstly only get this case if you NEED a flip case. It covers the LED so only way to know if you have notifications is to turn the phone on. The edges of this case a hard and narrow, therefore holding the phone for periods becomes very uncomfortable. It also will not protect the phone if dropped, the front flip becomes slightly flexible so you will damage the corners of the phone if you drop it. Also the screen gets incredibly smudged by fingerprints unlike the actual screen. Very hard to keep clean as it has two sides to it.
Hate flip cases anyways

Yeah, The looks. I actually bought another S view (Gold color) without wireless charging
Verizonwireless.com has the charging case for $39.99 and the standard S-view for $19.99! Damn good prices considering the retail prices of these cases. Just ordered the charcoal one that has built-in charging. And no, you do not have to have an account to order. :good:

Thanks for the review.
I have a fake chinese flip S-view cover for my Galaxy S4, and for the price it was simply great. the S-view worked fine, and quality was really decent.
One I'm considering buying a similar one for my new Note 4, and I think that the original OEM cases (both wireless and non-wireless ones) are simple overpriced!
I made some searches, and noticed that there are no fake chinese ones with the IC chip which enables the native S-view windows. They all have those custom badly functioning apps you have to download from chinese websites, just like you mentioned in the video.
Is there any fake flip case with a working native S-view cover??
Thanks!!
I grabbed one from Verizon for $19.99 (as mentioned above). I found the price acceptable, but wouldn't pay the full price for it. It's a nice case, but the window smudges are annoying (as others have mentioned).

$20 is not that bad for a real S view case from Verizon. I don't think any fake one works same as real Sview because of the small magnet/chip insert cost more.
Nice review ... This is mine..

Besides those cases above in my review, I bought 4 more cases
1- a 2 layer wallet case
2 - Gold Samsung S view case (real)
3 - a case with stand in the back (Garrco case)
4 - another simple backup case (using now ) and love it

I find it very useful I have qi wireless chargers on the desk, nightstand and car... So convenient.
And the Note 4 is so damn good looking, I just can't cover it all up with a big, bulky (ugly) case.

I don't like flip and wallet cases no matter how many I bought ( use for max 2 days). Always come back to TPU case for the convenience
Sent from the Galaxy Note 4 - Have a nice day.
I'm getting a Note 4 here soon and wanted some recommendations on accessories. Trying to keep things under $100 shipped for everything. Mainly the two things I need is a good dock and case, as well as a fitness arm band. I'm an Uber driver and the app does not rotate into landscpae mode so something that I can use in portrait or landscape is a pluss but the biggest thing is dead reliable and easy to remove and compatible with the case. As far as the case goes well I don't want anything ridiculous bulky but definitely something that will protect the phone from minor wear and tear and prevent damage in the event of drops. A waterproof case is not a requirement unless said case maintains hte profile of not being too bulky.
I have more portable battery chargers, usb cables, and chargers than I know what to do with. So I am good on those
For cases that provide good protection yet keep it not too bulky check out the seidio solez pro which is a hybrid case and also includes a kickstand, also my favorite is the speck candy shell grip case provides excellent protection and gruo while being pretty slim. I hear the Samsung OEM protective cover is good too. As far as docks I use the iottie one touch dock.

get the iblason armorbox and the samsung oem qi back. an itian wireless charger + a 3 coil charger for the desktop and some 3m double sided tape for fixing the itian in your car and you should be good.

I tried the Tech 21 and now have the Samsung Protective cover.
The Samsung Protective Cover is FANTASTIC. And the same night I got the phone, Samsung sent me a 50% off any item in their store under $50 so I bought the case with it. Its slim, fits well, It almost looks like the Note 4 was made as a rugged phone and doesnt have a case on it at all. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. the tech 21 I woudl rate a 4 out of 10, I knew when I was putting it on I didnt like it.

You will have access to the charging port but the S-pen isn't that easy to get in and out. Here are some pics I recently took of it http://imgur.com/a/GP92Y
The s-pen has to be pulled on a little bit so it makes it difficult to try and wiggle it out while driving. It's not impossible though.

Hi,
I highly recomend you the original Samsung Vehicle Dock.
I got it since December and I love it, I don't know how I could live without it!!
Greetings.
I recently picked up this 10000mAh Battery Case from ZeroLemon for my S22 Ultra. My jaw dropped as I took it out of the packaging and saw how big this thing is. The Amazon page states that it is as thick as 3 S22 Ultras and yeah, it's pretty close to that.
Aside from its thickness the case feels pretty durable. It comes with a dual layer system, a polycarbonate interior shell covered by a tough exterior skin similar to an Otterbox. It has all the cutouts for the cameras, charger, pen, speaker and microphones. The overlay on the hardware buttons feel a little mushy but have a satisfying "click" when depressed.
As far as protection goes I think it will do a decent job of keeping your S22U from getting jacked up should you drop it while wearing this suit of armor. The corners are well protected as well as the camera. The screen, however, isn't really recessed from the front so a screen protector is definitely recommended. Although the product page on Amazon says that this case is not compatible with a tempered glass screen protector, the one I purchased (AACL) has no issues fitting with this case.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and yet to plug it to recharge. And as far as that goes, you can either use your USB-C cable or a wireless charging pad to charge the battery and your phone simultaneously.
I have been a ZeroLemon fan since the days of the Galaxy SIII and I am so glad they came out with this. It has everything that I am looking for in a battery case but I wish they would have included a belt clip similar to an Otterbox to help lug this thing around. Any one else thinking about or already picked up one of these? If so how are you liking it?
Why not carrying a 10000mAh powerbank and use a normal case?

So what is the total weight of this unit + phone together?
As someone who wants to bicycle to camping spots far away from civilization for about 3-4 days, this would be excellent. And yet, this case wouldn't fit most handlebar mounts. I'm sure the case I have is already pushing it since the phone is already so big (Pelican), these just keep getting bigger.
_________
Also: @mzsquared
Product Weight: 9.45 oz (267g)
Phone weight 229g
= 496g (1.093lbs.)
So more dangerous than 1 brick of butter.
Wow, looks bigger than any previous one's i've used from them.. can it work with the Whitestone Dome screen protector?
This case looks desirable. Some of the product reviews on Amazon say it falsely detects water damage, preventing charging. Is this a problem anyone in this thread has seen?
That thing is an absolute monstrosity. I can't imagine having that in my pocket at the gym. Suspenders would be a necessity.

I recently picked up this 10000mAh Battery Case from ZeroLemon for my S22 Ultra. My jaw dropped as I took it out of the packaging and saw how big this thing is. The Amazon page states that it is as thick as 3 S22 Ultras and yeah, it's pretty close to that.
Aside from its thickness the case feels pretty durable. It comes with a dual layer system, a polycarbonate interior shell covered by a tough exterior skin similar to an Otterbox. It has all the cutouts for the cameras, charger, pen, speaker and microphones. The overlay on the hardware buttons feel a little mushy but have a satisfying "click" when depressed.
As far as protection goes I think it will do a decent job of keeping your S22U from getting jacked up should you drop it while wearing this suit of armor. The corners are well protected as well as the camera. The screen, however, isn't really recessed from the front so a screen protector is definitely recommended. Although the product page on Amazon says that this case is not compatible with a tempered glass screen protector, the one I purchased (AACL) has no issues fitting with this case.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and yet to plug it to recharge. And as far as that goes, you can either use your USB-C cable or a wireless charging pad to charge the battery and your phone simultaneously.
I have been a ZeroLemon fan since the days of the Galaxy SIII and I am so glad they came out with this. It has everything that I am looking for in a battery case but I wish they would have included a belt clip similar to an Otterbox to help lug this thing around. Any one else thinking about or already picked up one of these? If so how are you liking it?

i always use Zerolemon, but wow this looks even bigger than previous ones.. does anyone know if it fits with the Whitestone dome glass screen protector?
Can someone tell me if this damages the battery? Batteries shouldn't be constantly topped up, so just wondering about that. I have heard about smart battery cases though, so I'm wondering what smart features this has.

It shouldn't. I don't start charging mine until I'm @25% or less. Maybe if you constantly turned it on and charged all the time.

I want to get one too! A have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. Does the case super fast charge the phone? Also, does the case get super fast charged too? Because I normally use the 45W one and I wouldn't like a step down from that one.

I have this battery case and can confirm it works with the Whitestone Dome screen protector with no issues.

There is a belt clip holster available. I purchased two (one as a backup).
Don't you have issues with the ultra wide camera lens?
I am not much of a camera guy. I just take basic pics and haven't taken any ultra wide. So, it has not affected my use.
