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.

has to be slim, open magnetic port, have a stand, and not be dual layered. if it comes with a case even better
thanks
I'm thinking about getting a S6.
I'd like to know if I bought or made my own magnetic car mount, would the magnetics in the mount cause the device shut down?
The reason I ask is because I've made my own from 3 old HDD magnetics and tested it with my HTC One and Samsung Tab Pro 8.4.
The phone isn't effected, but the tablet shuts down (into sleep mode) immediately when a magnet is near.
To be able to use the magnetic car mount, I need to use a case and place a thin piece of metal (tin lid etc) in the case.
The thicker the plate, the better the hold to the magnet (without increasing magnet strength).
Does a case like the "Spigen Neo Hybrid" or TPU cases have generous amounts of "spare room" at the back (for the metal), compared to something like the one of their hard case designs?
Will it flex a little to fit the plate, is what I'm asking.
Thank you.
There are plenty of magnetic mounts sold. I have one that I used on my S4 for the past two years. The metal plates that come with the mounts are so slim that I don't think there's a case made that they couldn't fit in. If you go for a homemade one, though, I doubt it would be so slim and might not fit. The magnet has never affected the function of my phone in the slightest. HDD magnets might be different in some way, but the mount is a STRONG magnet.
Now, as for the S6 - it's got a metal body. It will actually stick to magnets. My mount will hold it, but the back of the phone is so slick that it slides off. If I were to insert one of the metal plates that came with the mount, though, it would interfere with my wireless charging.

Thank you for the info.
What is the best case to use when you have a magnetic car hold and you either want the mag built into the case or at least have room to slap the small magnet between the case and the phone?
I've seen in rare instances cases that have a ring and support wireless charging (spigen apparently) but are there any that also allow for magnetic car mount? Is this even possible?
I dont care if the ring is metal or plastic or whatever material.
