Hi, I am looking for a metal bumper case with cutouts the dock connectors. Does anyone have a link of the cheapest place to get such a case? Also, how difficult would it be to drill two holes into the case and placing magnets where the pins are and fabrication possibly a magnetic cable to charge the phone. I am worried about conduction between the case and the magnets. I don't have the phone yet but the idea of constantly popping open a port cover to charge the phone sounds terrible and sounds like it may break off after a while.
Also could someone link the qi charging case? I saw someone post about it however I could not find it myself.

I am not having luck finding a protective case that will fit the 1020 with the wireless cover on the phone. If anyone finds a TPU type case, please post a link.
Those cases cover the video stereo microphone

Im looking for a case too that fits wireless shell.
hate to add another "we are looking as well" post but we are.
wife bought a silicone cover (hasnt arrived yet) i thought if it didnt quite fit we could use a hair dryer to make it more pliable to get it over top. Id prefer a hard case for mine ive used otterboxes on all my phones for years but im rather excited about the wireless charging hate the fact it looks like i get one or the other.

Interesting thing about Wireless charging in 1020, is fact that grossly overpriced wireless charging back hauses ONLY induction coil and connector, nothing else. That is why i thibk it is waaay overpriced than it should be. (universal wireless charging coil from china, that has buil in conversion circuit, costs about $6). I've got one of these, and taped it to the inside of my nilkin case (connector was a big problem) and it works. If you do not want to mess with connector fabrication, you can use original wireless charging back. Juzt sumply warm it up with hairdryer, and peel off the adhesive with coil. Then apply it to your case of choice, and voila, wireless charging with your favourite case.
1020 supports wireless charging ?
Not out of the box, but with the right case yes.

Can you advise on the connector and which pin is + and -?
Id be keen to try and make my own case if its a generic coil
My opinion of the iMagnet dock has slipped a bit after having used it for a while now.
I got it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IOQ3K6/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the price was right.
The mounting sticky suction cup works great and it is not too large so it is not obtrusive.
However ... the magnet is just not strong enough. Once you put a case on, the strength (or lack thereof) becomes more apparent.
I put an el cheapo s-view case on and since it covers the back instead of replacing the battery cover, the extra thickness insulates it from the magnet a bit too much.
Yes, it holds the phone. However, the choice of a round-shaped magnet may have been the big mistake.
Since the magnetic field is round, it allows the phone to pivot around the central axis and after a bit of driving, the phone tilts to one side or the other.
A rectangular magnet or at least a much stronger one would probably correct this.
When my Spigen Slim Armor case arrives I will try it out and see if the s-view case if just too thick or what.
I've had the whole phone rotating and less magnetic strength as you op. I used it with my s3 and put the metal plate inside the plastic on my seidio ext battery case. The phone was pretty heavy and it did hold pretty well. A good pothole could knock it off though. It'd be much stronger on the outside of the case but way to ugly.
Now I'm using a ballistic sgmaxx this case is way to thick to put it in the inside. Plus I have a wireless receiver for charging making it a no go. And on top of all that even if I placed the plate on the outside it blocks the wireless charging from working.
It really sucks because I loved that mount. No tabs to adjust, no pieces to break or lose, no clicking it in place and pushing a button to release.

Any luck with the Spigen Slim Armor case? I have the Slim Armor right now and am debating this mount but after reading this thread, I'm a little skeptical. I was thinking to put the round disk between the TPU and Hard Shell of the case so that there's less insulation of the magnet.
I have had this mount for over 18 months starting with my s3. I can see where with the extended battery it may be an weight issue. I have the slim armor case and with the plate between the 2 layers (the hard plastic and the rubber) on my S4 it works great. even in the pot hole state of Michigan. I don't know if the other people are using the large plate that is included but its almost a must in order to keep the magnet in full contact with metal.
Funny enough, with the Spigen Slim Armor, it works better than the el cheapo sview I was using.
The $5 slim armor from AliExpress is just plain awesome, although a little hard to open..
I was thinking of getting one of these.. now I am not

Your missing out.
I'm going to have to figure out how to use one with wireless charging. Maybe a rare earth magnets instead.

I swear I have been thinking that ever since I got it, I even wrote the MFR and told them if they put an induction charger in there somehow they would make a million fast.
Hi,
I'd like to know if those magnetic flip cases for this tablet will cause any damage or problem to the SPen functionality or the screen? I've seen people say that it will. That it will throw off the SPen calibration and slowly but permanently damage the screen. I want to order a Belkin Stripe case and have the tablet in it 24/7. Bad idea?
Thanks.
The Spen sensors are magnetic. If you use a magnetic flip case, the Spen will not work on the part near the magnet.
Thanks! Glad I asked before purchasing. I'll buy the Speck case instead of the Belkin one.
Yeah I have a belkin flip cover that I got at Best Buy along with the tablet. The magnet within it is strong enough to interfere so when taking notes I have to lay the flap on the table without folding it completely back. Its a pain but it works fine. I do like the fact that the flap closes fairly securely since the magnets are strong though.

The Speck case is excellent. Very good protection all around, sturdy, secure clasp, snug fit, quality construction and materials, and no magnets!

It looks amazing in the pictures. Really excited, should arrive next week.
The official wireless Qi charging door adds a few millimeters to the thickness. I had a Body Glove case over the phone but now it's a little tight and the case bows down the edge site.
Does anyone else have the wireless Qi door and case? If so, what case are you using and how well does it fit?
I found a partial answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/accessories/note-edge-flip-wallet-qi-wireless-t2950494
Following the instructions in that thread I was able to crack open the Samsung OEM Qi Charging Door, pull out the Qi charging pad, and "transplant" it into the original plastic battery door. It created some raised spots on the back but the door clips shut all the way around and you can barely tell there are any raised spots once you put a case around the phone.
My current case is a Body Glove Satin Series. With this modification the case fits pretty good with just a slight wobble when laying it flat.
Did anyone find an answer to this without doing the mod?
Anyone know where to find all metal cases? I've seen a few on Amazon but their either to big or they have a weird design. I'm wanting one to use for my magnetic car mount but don't want to have to use the little metal piece you have to stick on the back of your case. Maybe someone knows of a custom metal case designer or something. Thanks in advanced

This doesn't answer your question, but I use the clamp type mount on my windshield.
I can't use a metal case nor the metal piece you stick on the back because I use Qi wireless charging with our phones. My Qi wireless charger works even with the TPU case I have, but does not work with metal in between. I tried the metal piece one time and it caused my phone to overheat on the wireless charging pad.
Good luck finding what you need.

This doesn't answer his question either, but which Qi charger do you use in the car? I've been using this https://amzn.to/2XCiZUf but it will repeatedly stop/start charging which stinks. Looking for a great solution.
I use a Ravpower wireless car charger. It's the only one I found that charges through my OtterBox Defender case.

It doesn't fit my vents, so I attached it to a suction cup windshield Mount I already had.

I used this one. This should work for you. Its not too thick either. You can't wireless charge in this case though.
