Just wondering if anyone knew whether or not I could fit a Note 4 with a UAG case into the Smart Dock.
Thought I would ask before I buy the Smart Dock..
Thanks!
Honestly, I don't think so, the charger connector lays way to deep into the case, I would go to a store to try one first.
I've tried 3 cases so far, and the only one that works with the Smartdock for me was the Ringkey Fusion clear case. I had to cut the port cover off of it since it wouldn't fit with it on there, but other than that it's a great fit.
Every other case I've tried made the plastic too deep around the USB port.
So much for that idea.
Thanks for the replies!

Ok well ... I need some help here..
I'm thinking of getting this dock:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/crjhnx1-bkc.htm
The case I'm looking for is this:
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Tough-Cases.asp
or
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
Now first thing.. how is the cases? Is it rubber or plastic? How easy is it to get it dirty?
And second question will the first case fit into the dock or will I have to remove it? Thanks.
I have the case-mate and I really like it. The phone fills much safer in my hand. It's a two part case, a soft inner part and a harder exterior plastic shell. I don't know of any docks that work with it though. I'll probably get another case-mate when I get a new phone.
Thats a really nice dock for as good price, if you're anywhere near Mississauga maybe you can order 2 and I'll pick it up from you... as for the case, I ordered mine from NexusOneaccessories.com and BestSkinEver.com. I like the look of the phone so I got a smoked gummy case which is transparent enough to show off the branding of the Nex. Based on experience, dust that gets in between the case and the phone still scratches the back thats why I got my BSE for added protection.
Just a tip...
Just so you guys know, the dock connects via the USB only, does not use the pins on the bottom of the Nexus One.
Also the phone sorta hovers/held by the USB only, so it can damage the port.
What desktop charging dock fits the Infuse in a Ballistic case?

Specifically for the Infuse? Few if any at all. I have the Samsung branded dock made for the Infuse and it fits very snug without a case, with my tpu case on it doesn't even go in the dock and if it did, the microUSB is a couple millimeters off due to the thickness of the case.
You could:
A. Make your own (seen some pretty damn cool custom ones for other phones)
B. Find one made for a thicker phone and retro-fit your Infuse
C. Look for a universal aftermarket type dock. (I've seen a few on Amazon)
D. Take the case off everytime you dock.
It's even worse now. The Infuse I bought came w/a Balistic case, so I need a dock that fits the Balistic.

I use the BAl case also haven't found a dock and don't think I will, but hey that sucker is well protected huh?
I usually take the outer rubber condom off and just use it like that with the hard case on, while at the office or home, but if I am out and about, I put the condom on...with clip...
One of these might work: LINK and LINK
Maybe...the prob I see is with the Bal Case, makes for bulk around the port, the regular usb cord just clears the case to plug in...I actually have stand that I set the phone in while charging, a document holder that someone would use when typing a document hold the phone upright.
similar to the picture attached, it sits on my nite stand by the bed...but it also hold my others phones also...LOL
I'm planning to buy the OEM S Charger Cover and I wanted to know if it increases the width of the phone and if yes, how much?. I ask this because I have a SPIGEN Neo Hybrid case and I want to know if I'll have any problems with it.
Thanks

Read for yourself by clicking HERE and http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ITI24EK/ and looking for the measurements.
I see that it makes thicker and reading some other reviews I found that this case does no fit the Galaxy S5 with the Charging Cover
The wireless charging cover does add thickness to the phone, causing pretty much all S5 cases to not work with it. Here's an entire thread dedicated to the discussion of which cases fit with the wireless charging cover: Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back
In short, the only case that's made specifically for use with the wireless charging cover at this point is this one from Diztronic. There are others that can be forced and/or modified to fit.
I bough this cases

This fit very well on my S5+ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITI24NG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And Im wait for this case

Thanks for your help, it was very clear information :good:
I'm getting a Note 4 here soon and wanted some recommendations on accessories. Trying to keep things under $100 shipped for everything. Mainly the two things I need is a good dock and case, as well as a fitness arm band. I'm an Uber driver and the app does not rotate into landscpae mode so something that I can use in portrait or landscape is a pluss but the biggest thing is dead reliable and easy to remove and compatible with the case. As far as the case goes well I don't want anything ridiculous bulky but definitely something that will protect the phone from minor wear and tear and prevent damage in the event of drops. A waterproof case is not a requirement unless said case maintains hte profile of not being too bulky.
I have more portable battery chargers, usb cables, and chargers than I know what to do with. So I am good on those
For cases that provide good protection yet keep it not too bulky check out the seidio solez pro which is a hybrid case and also includes a kickstand, also my favorite is the speck candy shell grip case provides excellent protection and gruo while being pretty slim. I hear the Samsung OEM protective cover is good too. As far as docks I use the iottie one touch dock.

Thanks. I was looking into the iOttie Easy One TOuch 2. I notice the bottom support bracket is adjustable. Can this be adjusted to allow me to have access ot the charging port and S Pen while mounted?
I have the slightly older version my charging Port is fully accessible while docked but the s pen is not, the newer version may allow that though.
i had the UAG case on mine. Offers good protection and isnt to bulky, but it does have a very tight fit

Those look pretty nice. RIght now im looking into the Seidio Dilex and the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx. The Ballistic is somewhat on the bulkier side but it comes with screen protection and I've owned Ballistic cases before and they are ROCK solid.
I went ahead and ordered an iOttie One Touch 2
get the iblason armorbox and the samsung oem qi back. an itian wireless charger + a 3 coil charger for the desktop and some 3m double sided tape for fixing the itian in your car and you should be good.

Ehhh I think I'm good on all that. I'm not big on wireless chargers
I tried the Tech 21 and now have the Samsung Protective cover.
The Samsung Protective Cover is FANTASTIC. And the same night I got the phone, Samsung sent me a 50% off any item in their store under $50 so I bought the case with it. Its slim, fits well, It almost looks like the Note 4 was made as a rugged phone and doesnt have a case on it at all. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. the tech 21 I woudl rate a 4 out of 10, I knew when I was putting it on I didnt like it.

You will have access to the charging port but the S-pen isn't that easy to get in and out. Here are some pics I recently took of it http://imgur.com/a/GP92Y
The s-pen has to be pulled on a little bit so it makes it difficult to try and wiggle it out while driving. It's not impossible though.

You know, I agree with this. I got the blue one.
Otterbox Defender.. THE best case for the Note4 as far as protection. I've had one on mine since day 1, and have dropped it several times and my phone is still perfect. JMHO..

Hmmm, well I try hard not to play with my phone while I am driving so that's a non issue for me in itself.

I had a look at it, it looks solid like any other otterbox case but It looks like itd be just too bulky for my tastes.
Hi,
I highly recomend you the original Samsung Vehicle Dock.
I got it since December and I love it, I don't know how I could live without it!!
Greetings.
So I run 3 to 4 times a week and have been using my S3 by plugging in the headphones and storing the phone in my pocket, which tends to become uncomfortable depending on the shorts I use. Are there any armbands that people have used for the S6 that would fit the phone in a case like the UAG?? I ordered my G920F and can't wait!! I ended up ordering a couple wireless pads along with a iottie car dock, and a 4 port car charger with one port usable as quick charge when needed. It's a shame I pulled the trigger over the holiday weekend though instead of the beginning of the week and receive my package typically a couple days later. I debated back and forth over the S6 and the G4, but in the end, I stayed loyal. I am still happy with my S3, just needed to change carriers!! (going from Sprint to Cricket)
Curious too. I want to bring my s6 to the gym but i always seem to bump into dumbells n stuff at the gym. I dont wanna accidently smash my s6. Armband would be perfect.
I always recommend QuadLock when this question gets asked. I switch phones about every 3 months, and I like running with an armband, so it's really the only option. They are also having a sale today, I believe?
I always just buy a cheap case off of Amazon, attach the universal device mount to it, then use the same armband I've had for the last 6 phones. (Normally I just pry the universal device mount off of my previous phone's case and glue it to the new one). If you don't mind making your UAG case less attractive, you can attach it right to that case, but I use the Ringke clear one from Amazon for my S6.

I doubt it would work with the flip covers; and even if it did, the flap wouldn't stay closed. It would probably work with the other ones, though.
I got one of these cheap ones: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UA4G4QA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've used it thus far with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Otterbox Commuter, and Verus Iron Bumper and all have fit well.

Just ordered one... Sounds like what I am looking for... The only worry I have is the headphone hole. Is it is a good location?? I haven't received my S6 yet, but I'm patiently waiting!!
Yeah, I think it's a pretty good location. I can't say that I've used it, though, because I have bluetooth headphones that I run with.
Have you checked out FlipBelt? I've been on the fence about trying one out. Currently 1,460 4.5/5 reviews on Amazon.
My wife has a pretty similar belt, and she likes it. Belts are not for me, though.
Agreed, it would be similar to wearing in my pocket. With the armband, I don't have to worry about the phone bouncing around.
