What cases actually fit the microphone on the Verizon model. - Galaxy Note 4 Accessories

Since there are discussions on cases that do not work because of the microphone opening on the Verizon model not lining up, I thought we need a thread on cases that actually do work.
Has anyone found any cases that does not cover one of the microphone openings on the bottom?
I want to get a replacement for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for just this reason.

Just a wild guess but I bet the cases Verizon is selling directly have the proper alignment (no idea though, can't check)? Why would they move the mic hole? I'm guessing to upsell their cases to you? "Oh well, these are the only cases that fit the phone properly, would you like to purchase for $40 now?".
The second another carrier (T-Mobile probably) get's coverage similar to VZW, I'm gone. I can't stand this constant messing around with the phones. Leave the **** alone Verizon, it's going to come back around to you.

The Supcase fits, they designed it with the different position of the mic in mind.

As I pointed out in the other thread, the Samsung protective cover works.
I'm thinking that other than that, your best bet is in store cases...
Yet another reason I'm happy to not be a Verizon customer.
I wouldn't purchase any third party cases without contacting the manufacturer first and ensuring the Mic placement on their case is open the exact mm away from the edge of the charging port.

This case might work, i ordered it for my tmobile note 4 but when i received it one of the mic holes was off.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NB3AFM6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kX3sub1MRVEWY

UAG Cases are good to go! As well as the in house VZW TPU cases.

Curious... where on the phone is the mic that doesn't fit?

I'm using this and so far only issue is if you let the case folks while trying to take a picture can block some of the picture if your not careful, just need to hold the case against the camera while taking a photo.
I bought this one and has never shown up, is 3 days late! !

Otterbox defender & commuter fit fine. Looks like they ovalized the left mic hole to be a universal accommodation. Just another reason why they're one of the best!

So wait stop, you mean to tell me Verizon actually moved the mic hole in their version?? Isn't that a little ridiculous? I thought it was a manufacturing error in my case since I just bought a random one off of amazon, but now it looks like nearly every case I buy will have this issue because verizon decided to move something in the hardware over 2mm???

I have been eyeballing the first one you listed as a sorta temporary case until more companies adjust to the Verizon difference. The price is right. Not sure how I will like the flap tho.

Picked up the Incipio DualPro from a Verizon store tonight. The left side mic hole is elongated/bigger to accommodate the Verizon mic position. It it not covered by the case and works perfectly. The case is simiar to the Otterbox Commuter(2 piece case) but is a but thinner.

I get that incipio case delivered tomorrow, glad to hear it fits. I love the soft texture of the incipio case. I've used that same one on my last 3 phones and it's always protected my phones great.

Unusual wear using Body Glove case

So I've had the Body Glove case for about a week now. It's the one with the removable belt clip/kickstand. Anyway, around the rear speaker I now have some indentations caused by the case. They appear to be permanent scratches. Kind of bugging the **** out of me. Can anyone with this case, take theirs off and see if they have the same issue?

Oh man. thanks for posting this picture. My case is definitely going back the minute I get it.
Thanks for the info indeed! I just looked at my phone due to your pics and I do see some minor indentations as well around the speaker like you and also around the camera. Not too bad, I can hardly see them, but I know they are there. I'm getting some other back cases in to cover it up but if I wasn't I would have bought those replacement covers on ebay.
To all, please check your phones! I'm removing this blasted case now...argh...
A heads up to those who have and/or will read this and are affected. According to tmonews, on Monday TMo will be offering a 50% off accessories coupon via their facebook page. Just print and take to a tmo store. I have every intention of returning this case and then using the coupon to get a different case for half off. For those that prefer instant gratification in exchange for paying a couple extra bucks, this offer is a great deal.

Edit: I felt this info would be pertinent enough to start an individual thread for it. If anyone feels leaving this post here in this thread is inappropriate, let me know and I will remove it.
Hopefully this thread will help people avoid that case. I use the black gel that's sold in the tmobile stores and I actually really like this case. I hated the gel for the hd2, but I used it just because. This one I actually keep on it all the time. It's that nice imo.
I have the same problem on mine too. I'm gonna get the black gel case tomorrow.
There are 2 solutions...one invisishield your device or stop using the case...what a bummer. I really love this case. I'm gonna do an exchange here soon and I'll invisishield it first and see the difference.
Just saw this case at the store, but decided against it!
I've had similar indentation problems with the other two-tone Body Glove case (no kickstand) that T-Mobile sells but around the 3.5mm headphone jack on top instead. After a couple days with the case off the indentations have gone away. I haven't put the case back on.
Trying to figure out if I should keep it naked or look for a different case to replace the Body Glove.
I also have the Body Glove case w/kickstand - but haven't seen this problem. Had it for about 2 weeks. Just took it off to check.
I'm gonna try not to worry about it.
Kind of feel like any hard case that comes out especially the tight ones, or even some of the gel cases will end up leaving a mark on the device in some way.
Me too :-[

Hi all,
I stand corrected and noticed the blemish by the speaker today. Very slight but there.
Is everyone planning on returning the Body Glove case w/kick stand? I am on the fence about returning the case - doesn't seem to be in any other areas and I figure I've had it on for the past 2 1/2 weeks so any other blemishes probably would have shown up by now.
Not returning mine. I got mine from wirelessground.com and for the price I personally do not think it's worth returning the case. I have since removed the case and awaiting a few barely there type cases from china.
But I already have a universal clip pouch that I bought from ebay which works well in protecting the phone IMO. Its kind of bulky but I cannot complain whereas I dropped my phone (about 3 feet high) the other night in the case and held up excellent.
Hey guys I work at a t-mobile corp retail store and all t-mobile stores should havegotten an email to pull the bodyglove two tone cases off the shelves. There is a fitment issue as well as what you guys are pointing out. Just an fyi I guess! GL
For the case being pulled, are you talking about the body glove icon case without the kickstand? I think that was mentioned on the other body glove thread and has caused some confusion because body glove has 2 different cases for the sensation. 1 with kickstand and 1 without.
Thanks

No, I think it's just the two tone body glove cases, because they leave a gap when put on the phone between the two parts of the case.
good thing tmo recognized it, though!
manufacturing flaw i suppose.. ive had mine on for 2 weeks now and had no issue with that, compared cases and your plastic looks imbezzled pointing inside the case causing the cuts, mine doesnt have that.. guess im lucky @[email protected]

Yeah the first email we all got was special instructions of how to put the case on. You are supposed to put the top left corner of the phone in first and then snap the other side in. I believe it has something to do with the curved glass. To be specific on which cases are being pulled from the shelves they are the two tone bodyglove cases that come in a pink or a grey.

KLD Product Info said the Case is made by thin cast aluminum (Photo ~ Line B),
Can you please check out for us if it's true...?
I guess Wireless Charging & NFC Signal will be blocked by the aluminum.
How do you like the fitting?
Will it scratch the phone when install, take out..?

I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.
So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!
Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.
Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.
Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.
I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.

So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.

What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.
And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?

Yep, pretty common.
The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.
The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.
Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.
I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.

Looks like it comes from the same build house as Spigen's wallet case. Like previously said, if it does the trick, I think it'd be a great case. What concerns me, though, is the mention of a magnet. That's never a good thing to have around credit cards which looks exactly like what that little insert was intended for.

What then causes the view that appears in the window to work. I am aware that a magnet over the Hall sensor on the side of the phone causes the S view to appear, what then in the S view case causes the reaction?
The S-view function certainly DOES require a magnet. It's not a magnet to hold it closed, it's a relatively small magent mounted about 1cm in from the left side near the volume down button. I had to fit one to my case with an s-view window which came without a magnet (and didn't therefore work).
A credit card mag-stripe will almost certainly be corrupted by the magnet, but then again mag-strips are dying out in favour of chip and pin or nfc. Some banks are starting to issue cards without mag-strips.

i'm wondering how strong the magnet is at keeping the case closed? i don't want to drop the phone and have the case open and the phone land on the screen and break
I have the official Samsung flip cover (basically same as S view) and after three days with it on, I no longer had any issue with it not staying closed. Once you "break it in" it remains closed just fine. A month later and it stays shut on its own no problem.
I originally ordered one of $12 "Samsung" versions off Amazon. The front of the cover was the same quality as the OEM from Best Buy, but it said "Galaxy SIV" rather than "Galaxy S4" (not a big deal, maybe even a plus for some users) however, the back cover was junk. Didn't match the phone, didn't fit properly and was thicker than the OEM. I ended up selling it on Craigslist a few days later. Very happy with the OEM version and the discount I got with a Best Buy coupon. I'm considering the S view version when it drops in price a bit, but probably won't risk the "Samsung" versions on eBay and Amazon.

I wouldn't recommend the case in my picture (not the one being discussed by the OP, I have no experience of it) to anyone. The label saying "premium leather" is a plain old lie. Even gluing a magnet to the cover to enable s-view mode is only partly effective as you can't answer a call with a swipe because the window is too thick.

Spigen Tough Armor and Slim Armor Cover Microphone

Edit: It is confirmed that Verizon Note 4 does have a 3mm difference in the location of the mic holes which in most cases will cover the speaker hole.
I just got my note 4 and noticed that the Spigen Tough Armor and Slim Armor both cover one of the microphone ports on the bottom of phone.
Is this just bad luck or are they being produced this way?
Maybe its just a verizon thing?

Well well, check this out....
This is a shot of the in house Samsung made "Protective cover".... why make the one port oblong unless it needed to fit various makes of the same phone with different port locations?
I think it IS a Verizon thing!
I had the neo hybrid (just sold it and shipped it today, so sorry, no pics) n once i heard the very first reports of muffled speaker use in the accessories section, I asked my wife how it sounded to her.... no complaints. I think they lined up fine on the tmobile version cause my hole fits in this Samsung oblong port close to the inside edge(closest the charging port) whereas I'm certain that a Verizon phone would be justified to the outside based on the pics above.
Mine is the same way. Not Cool. Verizon phone.

....what carrier are you with?
I have a feeling most cases are designed for cdma phones like tmobile and at&t...
I think Verizon and Sprint prob have a different arrangement due to slightly different internals....
Both mic holes on my Sprint variant align perfectly with my ToughArmor's cutouts; it is indeed most likely a Verizon modification from the reference model.
Looking at the first photo, it's clear to see that the Right hole is further from the center axis than the Left.
My Neo-Hybrid does it as well.
same here

That was my plan but I kind of just want a return but then to find out something else doesnt fit.
I mean its only a small tiny hole. How bad could I mess up lol.
Okay so I took so super up close macro shots with my Canon 60mm and here are the pictures. Ordering from top to bottom: Ultra hybrid, Tough Armor, Slim Armor, Neo Hybrid. The Ultra Hybrid was on an AT&T white Note 4 and the other three were on a Black Tmobile Note 4. Seems like there's not really an issue with the tmobile or at&t versions. I also checked sound quality and there didn't seem to be an issue. I'm guessing that maybe Verizon versions perhaps maybe have a different placement or something.
I checked my Tough Armor and the mic holes align. One thing I noticed is that I have to speak directly at the mic holes to get "OK Google" to respond. Doesn't work if I speak while looking at the screen.
made my own holes using dremel....not the best, but it works great.

Unfortunately, it affects the US Cellular variant, as well (Neo Hybrid case). I'm surprised that it's not a problem for Sprint as well; would have guessed it was CDMA vs. GSM variants, but I guess not. Sucks, because it's a great case otherwise. Haven't actually heard back from Spigen's CS yet...
I've got an O2 UK Note 4 and my slim armor fits perfectly, almost definitely sounds like a variant problem. Was just looking for a thread to say how good this case was, scared me to death reading this

I cannot believe i just saw that picture. A DREMEL to make a hole wider! LOL use a drill it is much easier

best tpu case?

Any input on the best tpu case for the note 4... specifically the verizon note if it makes any difference.
I have the obliq. Tpu. Case it's great good grip on the side solid lip around display and not problem with mic. Holes it goes for about 8 bucks on Amazon
i have read that one of the verizon mics is moved slightly to the side than the other models. so one of the mics will be covered up if it wasn't designed for verizon version. i would make sure any case you buy says it will work on verizon model. i just got a 8 dollar case off ebay when i picked up my note 4. mine is a sprint variant. i am pretty happy with it for the price

diztronic is the best tpu case hands down and $9.99 and works fine on my verizon note 4

Nice looking case. How is the side grip when cold? For example, the Samsung protective case plus and Verus Thor get harder, uncomfortable and have less grip when cold but have very good fit, everywhere. Do you have any other cases to compare it to? Could you post some pictures showing the USB port, mics, and headphone jacks, please? And one more close-up on the bezel lip.
TIA.
haven't noticed a difference when the temp changes. we have had a few days in the 30's around here this week and don't notice any difference. it's only been on the phone 3 or 4 days. i just got it in the mail. still waiting on my glass screen protector to get in but i don't imagine it will be a problem
pics arent all that great because i was using the wifes old iphone 4

Thanks. The pictures are fine except that I can't tell if the white outer rim is soft TPU or a harder compound like a polycarbonate?
Also, how would you describe the grip of the sides and back shell?
TIA.
If you want full TPU, the Diztronic is the best game in town. If you want something with a lot more style and great fit, the Samsung protective cover should be given a look.

Grip is ok. I would think there are better cases for that. I wouldnt really say its bad or great but just ok. The black is more a firm rubber feel and the white is a hard plastic feeling material. The edges catch some of the black softer material when u grip it which helps a little. For the price i would say definately worth the money. I swap phones like crazy so i cant see paying more than 30 for a case when i will prob be rocking something else in 6 months or so.
I use the tech21 impactology case. I've dropped my phone 4 or 5 times (slips out of pockets when getting out of my car) and no marks or damage at all. I bought mine from Verizon so a little more expensive, but didn't want to deal with the mic hole issue
I have the spigen capsule, great case and I can even get the note 4 into it with the wireless charging battery cover on. Admittedly its a bit of a squeeze and using the heart rate monitor is a no-go
I just got the Samsung official protective case. I love it. I have a diztronic as well, and it's great, but damn this samsung one is thinner, makes the phone feel overall better and the buttons aren't as easy to push as the diztronic. it's a great case!

This case is the best TPU case hands down. I have the diztronic and uag case and this case wins it for me. Def check it out.
I'm waiting for this to arrive

If it sucks, I'm gonna get the diztronic.
The Samsung case is the best case I own, but I don't consider it a true TPU case due to the textured back. As for the best 100% TPU case, that title goes to the Diztronic, which I also own.
