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.

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..

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.

Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.
Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.
Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.
I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.
Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

For the Incipio case? It's here:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Dr...CRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.
So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.
Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

Guys,
Here is the quick review of the Samsung Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging Case and the Fake China S-View Case and some other cases ( Wallets and TPU)
Question?
Just wanted to put my opinion in also mate. Gotta say this is the worst case I have owned on any phone. I bought this case as I wanted to try the flip case. Firstly only get this case if you NEED a flip case. It covers the LED so only way to know if you have notifications is to turn the phone on. The edges of this case a hard and narrow, therefore holding the phone for periods becomes very uncomfortable. It also will not protect the phone if dropped, the front flip becomes slightly flexible so you will damage the corners of the phone if you drop it. Also the screen gets incredibly smudged by fingerprints unlike the actual screen. Very hard to keep clean as it has two sides to it.
Hate flip cases anyways

Verizonwireless.com has the charging case for $39.99 and the standard S-view for $19.99! Damn good prices considering the retail prices of these cases. Just ordered the charcoal one that has built-in charging. And no, you do not have to have an account to order. :good:

Thanks for the review.
I have a fake chinese flip S-view cover for my Galaxy S4, and for the price it was simply great. the S-view worked fine, and quality was really decent.
One I'm considering buying a similar one for my new Note 4, and I think that the original OEM cases (both wireless and non-wireless ones) are simple overpriced!
I made some searches, and noticed that there are no fake chinese ones with the IC chip which enables the native S-view windows. They all have those custom badly functioning apps you have to download from chinese websites, just like you mentioned in the video.
Is there any fake flip case with a working native S-view cover??
Thanks!!
I grabbed one from Verizon for $19.99 (as mentioned above). I found the price acceptable, but wouldn't pay the full price for it. It's a nice case, but the window smudges are annoying (as others have mentioned).

$20 is not that bad for a real S view case from Verizon. I don't think any fake one works same as real Sview because of the small magnet/chip insert cost more.

You're luckier than me, I dropped my case a couple times on concrete and noticed hairline fractures on 2 corners. Ordering the armorbox will probably be a lateral move or even a step down cause it does not have a cover for the s pen which is what I am looking for.

Yes, that does look interesting. Too bad it doesn't come with a holster. I can't pocket carry this phone. I like that it comes with optional back covers, but that case looks like it has no grip at all.
I don't like cheap ass $5 to $10 cases from ebay and amazon. I am looking for some branded case such as spigen, speck and tech21. Let me know if you any other good brands who are making good cases for this phone.
I asked Spigen, they gonna have some but still no ETA :/
I have this one, which is very well done. i't thin, has a good grip, and enough protection for the screen and camera (personal opinion)

I got the same case for my brandnew mate 9. It fits nicely but i doubt it will offer the same protection as my last case.
On my old Galaxy Note Edge i have a Verus Thor case which is a composite of hard and soft protection layers which served my well.
Unfortunately the company has nothing to offer for Huawei so i go with the Nillkin case for the time being.
My black Nilkin case came in the mail yesterday. I highly recommend it. Good grip and feel. Can't go wrong with this one.
I have another one coming in the mail but I can't remember the brand haha.

I just got the spingen case and it comes close to the old Verus.
Not 2 seperate layers but a medium hard material which i expect to dampen any drop.
And the surface has more grip than the bare mate or the hard Nillkin case.
I got the Spigen yesterday. Really like it. Feels great in the hand and looks like it'll do the job as well.

I got it on Amazon in Spain. Maybe, it's not genuine but it feels pretty good quality.
Same problem with my Axon 7. With these non-carrier branded phones, it is tough to find a decent case.
I'm using this case, super good quality, very slim footprint. Smart details too like anti-slip sides.
Should have covered the edge of the glass though.

Hey folks, I have a qi fast charging magnetic charger (linked below)
I tried sticking the ring to the outside of the case am using but after a few weeks of on/off the magnet it came off. I also had the ring under the case but it's too thick to stick reliably.
I'm trying to find an ultra thin case that won't look warped when I stick the ring under the case, or maybe even has a cut out inside the case for the plates you can get or the ring, and is thin enough to stick well on the charger

I have that same case and I have a metal place stuck to the inside of it for my magnetic car mount. I can't see or feel the plate. I'm not sure if my plate is the same thickness as your ring.
100% get the Rhino Shield Bumper Case. Amazing drop protection (I've dropped many times on all sides, including front and back, with no concern) and keeps a super thin minimal design. Back is completely open. Pairs perfectly with dbrand skins on the back!

I'm loving the Spigen case!!
I've been using OtterBox for my last two notes. I really like the Symmetry model on the Note 9. Great protection and not too bulky.
I'm using the Armadillotek case and it's great. Feels very comfy and offers drop support and protection.
I'm using Spigen Neo Hybrid + Liquid Crystal Clear, spigen cases are awesome!

Is wireless charging working with the Spigen cases? On reviews of Amazon they say not. Is this true?
Accordingly with this video, is OK
Official Samsung cases.
Well... I'm using the Samsung clear case for my Note 9. It's very thin, but also a very tight fit so I'm not sure how it'll fit with that ring. Also you'd obviously see the ring.
Does that ring not scratch the back glass?
I will recommend Speck to anyone with a Note 9. Presidio grip is amazing

I can answer this question: yes. I tried a Spigen case yesterday and it worked well.
I bought this, it is on sale so, and I love the wood back plate, bonus you can attack lenses, still hasnt arrived so...

When i bought Note9 i knew that i must buy some tough case for it, this is most expensive phone that i`ve got so far and protection before look. So i was wondering about lovemei or lovmei cases, you know, 6 screws, big metal case that you can use also as self-defence, car lift, surfing, scateboard (just attach wheels ) and for space shuttle heat cover. But you know, NFC payments, and wireless charger - this is very important for me. So i manage to find one case that costs lot for me, and i bought it with little bit of fear, but what i`ve got... I`ve bought SUPCASE CLAYCO XENON. It covers both sides of phone, it is little bit tricky to mount but effect is brilliant! Phone looks very good in it, it is not as bulky as i thought it would be, first impressions was not so good because of stylus experience at screen. When i try to work with stylus i felt resistance between tip of stylus and screen but after few hour of phone usage everything came to normal. I think that screen cover was just extremely clean and as soon as i pick up few calls surface was back to normal experience. So - if anyone want to have best possible protection and want their phone to still look good and not so bulky this is answer.
