Phone Stand

I've been looking for a phone stand for quite some time now. Would really appreciate suggestions or recommendations of stands people have used.
Things I am looking for:
Can hold N4 in portrait and landscape
Minimal coverage of the entire front
Good cable management or built in microUSB charger
Sturdy construction

A lightweight designed stand is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find anything... I'm new to Nexus and have to replace my iPhone gear.

Are you guys open to diy or strictly something professionally designed?

I was looking for the same thing for my newly bought Nexus 4.
I've searched ebay and didn't find anything that looks decent to be honest.
The most beatiful / pratical thing I've found is this LG Wireless charger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-WCD-80...51188?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item3a7fa87b34

}
But the price is simply obnoxious.
Then there is this ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sync-Dock...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3cd011bd82
Which seem very.. meh. Plastic thing.

Now that first one is sexy! I'd personally be a bit wary of the price and location of the item but if someone gets one and works legit I'd love to know.
Your 2nd link is a charger stand I used with my old LG 2x, they are very good, I had 2 of them (one for work one for home). :good:

I've got two of the second one. Bought off Amazon. Work fine but ensure that they supply the non-case insert adapter as the first one I purchased didn
't come with one. Phone still charges but is slightly loose in the cradle.

I would say pro design, I'm hoping to have something slick in appearance.

The two images posted look pretty good. Too bad the top one is so expensive and out of the price range I was thinking about spending on a stand. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Custom Nexus 9 Case

For those who are still waiting for a better case to come to the market like me, but cannot use it without a case, you can try cutting out the Nexus 9 Box for a temporary case.
Just did mine, and it looks great with the HUGE 9 in front plus bubble wrap protection in between, and a kickstand.

Look at the youtube link? I cannot add link due to not having enough post on here yet. Go to youtube.com
then append /watch?v=QjloO7hEVvQ to it. :fingers-crossed:

LOL. Ghettofabulous!

That's a sweet case you got there

Nice! LOL. I like the music too!

I'm using an old car handbook cover which fits perfectly. For once in my life I have successfully transitioned something I should have thrown away to something useful. My life is complete.

Nice use of rubber bands. Im using one on an ipad air case i found at sears on clearance.

i-blason armorbox with samsung qi wireless back

Heres a few pics of the note 4 with samsung qi back and the iblason armorbox. phone charges great thru the back with no issues. its dusty and ive dropped it twice using it in a machine shop and the phone is undamaged/unscratched. looks brand new if you remove it from the case.
finger print reader is disabled due to front plastic but nfc/cam/rear spo2 sensors all work ok

It's funny because this is the only case that actually fits the Note 4 with the modified back cover to accommodate the wireless charging feature. I'm returning my wireless cover to Samsung; there's no point to constantly remove and re-fit my Otterbox Defender when wirelessly charging. If only if samsung employed better design specialists. The cover warms up your device considerably according to other reviewers for the wireless back cover Made by Samsung. Add a case on top, there goes a meltdown. .
It's good to know though, that the i-Blason case fits well. Initial reviews of this case seemed to be fake, so I resorted back to Otterbox. I bet you that iBlason's suppliers are the same employees making cases for Otterbox, haha. I knew I should have purchased the i-Blason case. Cheers!

mine stays at a reasonable temp with the samsung qi back and the armorbox. never seen it heat up significantly. it gets a little warm but not excessive.

I think it depends on the charger. When on my nexus charger, it stays cool. On one of those cheap charging pucks it heats up quickly.

Qi receiver ???

Just ordered my Note 4 N910F, and looking for the thinnest Qi receiver... I have used Fonesalesman receivers for S4 and Note 3 which were thin and flexible... Is the Fonesalesman Qi for Note 4 also thin and flexible? Anyone in here using it? Thanks
==================
To answer my own question, the above Qi receiver is thin and flexible, the coil is the "printed" type if that is what is called, not an actual coil which is thick.
The thickest part of the receiver is where the IC's or small chips are which is under the QR code..

I'm about to purchase a QI receiver too, and I've narrowed it down to these three - in order of preference so far:
PLESONTECH:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PN4GXKO/
N4 SlimPWRcard (think this is the FoneSalesman one?):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OFKS66G
Kosee:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OY34FBE
If anyone has experience of any of the above, I would appreciate feedback/reviews. Really want one that doesn't give a visible bulge when it's in place. I'll be using it through a UAG case (hopefully!). Thanks!

Which ones also support NFC would be nice as well.

I think the FoneSalesman one is the only one that specifically states it supports NFC, although some Amazon reviewers have mentioned that it works with others if placed carefully. I doubt I'll be using NFC too much, so this isn't really a huge factor in my choice.

Pleson
I am using PLeson, it supports NFC. Its a good purchase although it makes the back cover little bulky.

I have these. They work well but the phone tends to get hot when charging for too long. It was the same for my Note 3 though so I am thinking its common for wireless charging.

MPJ 4200mAh Battery Case

Hello.
Just got offered a MPJ battery case and felt like doing a small review.

It's a one piece battery/protective case, it's quite nice looking and has a really smooth rubberized touch.
The case fits the phone perfectly and don't actually add too much volume to it, letting it feel good in a daily use.
It charges the phone in a little more than 2 hours, but it's battery lasts around one and a half phone charge.
At the bottom of the case is visible a 4 led set that indicates the battery level.
It has a really nice feature that I loved: When it's being charged while attached to the phone, it charges the phone first and then the case itself... I thought it was really nice that the phone in charged first.
For it's price, at least the sales price, I can recommend it as pretty decent battery case!
Rate: 8/10
Here's a couple more photos of it if you'd like.

I have a question about that.. I actually e-mailed them my question but they never responded back.
With that battery case on, can you still use wireless charging and it work or does it have to be plugged in wired?

It has to be plugged by wire, tried the wireless charge and it won't work.

Nice case!

ORDERED haha thanks!

@ex0dusk3 - if you find a battery case that DOES allow wireless charging, please let us know!!!

it looks cool thanks sharing

Ive ordered the battery case after reading this review. Any lucky guy out there also receives one with flip cover? It actually looks pretty cool.

Does anyone know if the flip version of this has a magnet or something to keep the cover closed?
