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?

I really don't like the extended battery door that came with my ebay 3000 mah battery, so I lightly modded the original door to make it fit the extended battery. Keep in mind this is my first attempt... it has a lot of room for improvement.
do you know if you can use the ebay case with a belt clip holster? I am not a fan of the seidio case either, the ebay case looks better.
Looks good, whats tools did you use?
I was thinking about doing this but don't have the proper tool too. Have you considered making a plastic mold to cover the battery? I have heard of people using some thing call shurgoo to make custom plastic pieces.
I have seen pictures somewhere on here of people that are using the seidio clip holster with the back half of the case removed with the ebay battery door, but I now cant find the pictures... i know that mine would fit in a normal belt clip holster because the bottom and top are still as if it was in the stock case.
As far as tools, i just used a pocket knife, a pair of scissors and liquid super glue. Maybe shoe-goo? i dont have any idea what shurgoo is? I do want to try to make something out of plastic or fiberglass resin maybe.
I don't mind having the extra thickness, but all 3 of the extended battery covers I've gotten via eBay always have bad fitment just around the power button. It sticks out past the button and/or that same corner never stays down. I'm tempted to do something like take the stock cover, cut an opening in it, and then epoxy the hump from extended cover onto the stock cover. After that, I plan on finishing it off w/ wrapping it in some 3M DiNOC black CF since I've got some extra sitting around. Anyone wanna donate a stock battery cover?
I own one of these cases for my N4 Rugged Hard Case
Without the holster it adds like 4-5mm to the back of the N4. Unfortunately i also discovered that there are two small metal rods in the middle of the back that are part of the kickstand. So very doubtful if wireless charging works with this case. Is probably someone here who can report from own experience with such a case and wireless charging? Any help appreciated.
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.

Yes,.... I want the same one/.
i got that unicorn beetle case (i think that's the name). it "fits" with the glass screen protector and the wireless charging back (i still have to order a qi charger for my nightstand, office desk, and car, but im still looking for a case that will fit it perfectly. i really wish samsung shipped the phones with the wireless back, or at least make it the same size. is this a mythological case that i'm looking for? will any manufacturers step up to the plate? was this an issue with the note 3? i hope i can find the perfect case with a holster!

I use a Tech21 Classic Tactical case. It stretches around to fit the qi back. Tight fit but seems to hold up well.
Afternoon team,
So I'm moving from iOS back to android next week, with a new Note 4 on its way!
I used to have an S2 and enjoyed the hell out of trying custom ROM's, but I'll get on to that in a few weeks time!
First off though, of course, is getting the right case and accessories. All opinions and set-ups welcomed!
Keep in mind, I use my phone as SatNav as I drive a lot, daily. Things like flipcases would be irrelevant as I can only imagine how rubbish they are to mount in a car. Also, I like tough cases as long as they aren't too bulky. The CaseMate for iPad Mini's are incredible (iPad mini is a main tool in my business). Wireless charging seems intriguing, so I wouldn't mind looking into that. As long as it works through standard cases?
I've looked at the Spigen cases, they look ok. But there's an awful lot of mixed reviews on here.
So, dream scenarios people... what accessories and case should I go for??
Spigen capsule i have got that one and is awesome, great feel, good protecion and it also looks god
Thanks,
The Spigen line look cool but I do find their insistence on 'Auto Focus' a little out of taste!
If you need a case then I can recommend Spigen as I have had them on many of my phones and loved them although I'm not a case user most of the time. I have the capsule for the Note 4 and I like it but with an already big phone it makes it bigger but not too much.
If you don't need a case then I would recommend the qi wireless charging back cover even if your not going to use wireless charging to charge the phone because to me it makes the phone feel better in hand.
If you are going to use wireless charging then I the Nexus magnetic charger looks good especially when used with a good dash mount.
Samsung spare battery kit is also good to have because it comes with a battery holder/charger and a slim holder as well.
samsung oem qi back cover, iblason armorbox case, itian wireless car charger, 3m scotch double sided outdoor tape, 3 coil desktop qi charger. thats all you need.
-Samsung Protective cover. I've tried many cases from Spigen, and other brands, but nothing beats the OEM cover for me.
-A pack of plastic screen protectors. Spigen, iSmooth, iCarez, Halo all fit well. I haven't been happy with any tempered glass protector.
-A decent Micro SD card that fits your storage needs.
I want to suggest
Xpower 2.4A Aluminium Alloy Micro USB Cable
http://www.agrade.com.hk/index.php/...inium-alloy-micro-usb-cable.html?options=cart
can also find it on Ebay
There's a crazy deal on flash cards today, 128gb at 80$.
For must have though my list is short
Case since accidents happen, I use a 10$ caseology who's gaudy label came off with some rubbing alcohol.
Tempered glass screen protector if you're willing to get it at bestbuy, so they'll put it on and you can return it instantly if there's haloing. They tried four protectors until one worked, curved glass sucks.
High amp car charger for rapid charging, mpow is usually on sale. Mine was 8$.
I like a flat wireless receiver tucked behind the back door since I randomly find myself around wireless chargers, make sure it supports nfc if you use nfc.
