Hey everyone, my girlfriend has a Samsung infuse and I have been scouring the internet looking for a case for her that has a workable kickstand built in that she can use to stand her phone up..I just cant seem to find one...the closest I found was one that said it was a kicktand but actually was part of the belt holster, and it doesnt let the phone stand up...does anyone have one, or know of any companies that make one?...thanks in advance...larry
Not sure where ur from, but search eBay and read the description.

here's an old thread

I can't seem to find a case listed anywhere that says it fits the GS4 with the wireless charging back on it. Has anyone seen any listed anywhere?
I'm not interested in the third party hack solutions to getting wireless charging working with the stock cover. I already ordered the official one and I'm just trying to find a case that works with it installed.
I saw one guy in other topic on this same forum the one about cases and wireless charging say that he got a tpu case and it fit fine.

I tried to soldier through that thread, thinking there would be something in there, but it had gone completely off the rails for pages, talking about modding the existing back cover for wireless charging.
I have a Cruzerlite TPU case, but somehow I doubt it will fit. It's snug on my GS4 now.
I think he said it was a diztronic black tpu case or how ever you spell it.
I know he said it fit fine he had a link to Amazon in the post too

There are reports that the diztronic does not fit well with the extended battery and a glass screen protector though. Also the Diztronic eats edge to edge screen protectors.

I don't think you will find one with a perfect fit, tpu, silcon or soft rubber is your only chance.
no company is going to make a case especially for the wireless cover, the market is too small.

I think you're underestimating the popularity of the Galaxy line. The wireless cover was just released. It's only a matter of time before we start seeing cases that accommodate it.

The wireless cover is just a add on accessory or a gimmick to most people, most people who choose wireless feature for the S4 prefer to use the third party receivers, being thinner and uses your existing cover and works with most cases.
As for cases that accommodate this cover, even samsung have no intention of releasing one.

Please show me conclusive data that supports your claim that "most people" prefer modding their phones as opposed to using the official accessory to get wireless charging.
Was there an official poll conducted by a reputable company to determine this? Did you personally survey an unbiased sample of the community? No. Your preferences are not automatically everyone else's preferences.
People will buy the official accessory and manufacturers will make cases for it, just like they make cases for phones people don't even buy.
And if wireless charging was such a gimmick, it wouldn't be included on an increasing number of phones, like the Optimus G Pro that I'm sending this from.

You do not need to mod your phone for third part wireless receiver, and I don't think we need to go in detail about actual claims or data, there are a few threads on wireless charging, just read through the whole thread.
Please indicate where you have the information that cases are being made for them, or any companies that have the intention to make them.

So the entire foundation for your claim that "most people" want to use third party solutions is a few threads on XDA? Got it.
I forgot that the people who post on XDA represent the entire customer base for a product.
My claims are based on common sense. Manufacturers make cases for phones that barely sell (Kyocera Echo, HTC First, etc) and they make cases for variations of the same phone from different carriers (Galaxy S II, etc), just as they will the Galaxy S4 Active and any other variations Samsung releases. Someone will make a case specifically for the GS4 with the wireless back, or something that's universal and I'd be surprised if it wasn't more than one manufacturer.

I not here to create a argument, but just to show my point of view on this situation, looking in the pass, official extended battery were very popular with S2 and S3, but no companies have bothered to product cases to accommodate them,
The life cycle for samsung to release a new galaxy phone is like every 6 months, whiles the S series is like evey year, I don't think companies will spend time and money on this.

Yeah, I got a little carried away. My point was that the GS4 is still going to be one of the most popular phones of the year and their flagship until this time next year. I'd honestly be surprised if a case manufacturer didn't make a case to accommodate the new back. If it was some other phone, like the Optimus G Pro (which doesn't get anywhere near enough love), it wouldn't surprise me, but the GS4 is basically the iPhone of Android now. All apps are developed to work with Galaxy phones first, and it gets an insane number of accessories.
I don't even like my GS4. It lags and stutters and pissed me off. But I'm sure it's still selling plenty.

Don't forget we will have the S5, S6 and so on, these will always be a best seller, any add-on that makes a phone exterior bigger than the actual phone will have little support for protection from other manufacturer.
I believe we will have one soon.

I am currently using a spigen neo hybrid case with the oem wireless charging battery cover. Nfc works as does wireless charging. There's a slight buldge in the rear tpu but that was expected. The front is still pretty much normal and still sits a few thousandths of an inch from the spigen tempered glass plate. Just make sure you center the camera and flash when you install the tpu and the housing pretty much will lock it in place.

I have the OEM charging back and it works with a CIMO TPU case, although not perfectly. the sides do not come up all the way on the sides but it holds on the corners and will work until the proper cases are made. For $7 on amazon...what have you to lose? Also have the OEM Samsung protective case + and it does not work with charging back.
Anyone know why buddy cases aren't being produced anymore?
I crave a physical keyboard as it's still so much faster than any onscreen keyboard my friends are using.
Still can't fathom why the manufacturers have stopped making sidesliders.
But apart from that, a buddy case would suit me as well, should be fairly easy to make.
And there is a large public of people that require fast typing.
I also tried to look for a case that just has an extra pocket so I could add a generic bluetooth keyboard, nothing turns up at all.

Don't post multiple threads with the same question, if everyone did that then the forum would get cluttered and it makes it harder for members to did through the threads to find their answer.

So I found some sort of buddy case on ebay for iphone 6 5.5".
Basically it's a flipcase 'thick' enough to house both a keyboard and a phone, which seems to be very hard to find.
The bluetooth keyboard is said to be for iphone but I have one for android anyway so I'll replace that, those things are usually just glued on there.
Also the plastic click-in casing is of course for iphone but I ordered a cheap one for my phone and replace that as well.
Also need to cut out a camera hole in the back of the flipcase.
I'll try to post pictures once I'm done massacring these items.
So here it is.
The most important item is a buddy case or flip cover (however they call it) that is big enough to house a bluetooth keyboard.
I found one for the iphone 6 which could hold a 5.5" inch screen and apparently the keyboard was supported by my moto x play.
Usually the click-in plastic is taped on so you can just (gently) rip it off.
I also bought a very cheap (probably because it was pink) flip cover that has the plastic thingy where my moto x play fits in.
Used double sided carpet tape to stick the plastic click in thingy to the cover.

Physical keyboards are just so much better to type with. With virtual keyboards you must be looking to your hands all the time to type. It is just better when you can "feel" the keyboard.
So I got the Nillkin Nature case from China that everyone has been raving about. It does look GREAT and it's super thin! But I was disappointed to find that it has a flap over the power port on the bottom of the phone. It appears intentional, not some sort of defect. Does yours have the same thing? It seems like something that is just going to wear out over time and end up sticking up.
Thanks for your feedback!
I feel like if a case had an odd design element it would have been discussed before? perhaps you should check the threads where people are raving about it and do some investigatory work!

I have been tracking the "slimmest case" thread (which is very long) where I heard all about the case and no one mentioned it that I recall. Hence my wonder. Maybe it's something that everyone just likes? That thread is so difficult to deal with because it discusses many cases - I thought I would hit the issue separately.
Yes it's obviously normal and made for it. I like it and don't mind it, but if you do just cut it off

I too follow that thread and it was mentioned in one of the comments there. I personally don't like it either and will try to see how much it annoys me once I get the case.
I have the case and HATE the USB port cover. I'd cut it off but don't run the case due to it not fitting properly with DBrand skin on the phone. I just don't understand why they even put it on there, don't think many people really would care if it didn't have it.
