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.

Hi All,
Well I've not really done many reviews so I may miss things or not do so well but will try to cover as much as I can, if you have any questions by all means ask. This is mostly my thoughts on the Noreve Leather case for the Nexus 4 and when used with Qi charging systems, there seems to be views and opinions on Qi chargers and some cases but none leather. I like to look after my phones, while the glass used these days is nice and strong I have found out the hardway that they still can break quite easily.
I've had bumpers, back covers and skins before but still had accidents involving broken screens from time to time. So I know try to look at covers that will protect the whole phone, normally a leather flip of book type case of some sort. After reading a few thoughts and reviews on Noreve cases on this forum I became very interested indeed. So I ordered one and let me say it is fantastic, the quality and finish of the final product is just simply beautiful. They are not a EL Cheapo PU leather case, infact they are fairly expensive but you would expect this considering it is a hand made item by a true craftsman using genuine leather.
The case's base is made from a molded plastic, with the sides being made from metal (most likely steel) and then has the leather fitted skillfully. Well then end product is simple and elegantbut extremely functional in providing full protection for your nexus 4. The sides are quite snug fitting, this case really holds your phone well and provide good side protection but allows use of all side keys and acess to charging / Headphone sockets. It closes quite positivly and stays shut very well, takes a little getting used to opening it but I like the secure feel of it.
Anyway, there's other revies of the quality fit 'n finish of this product. While it's not that cheap it is beautiful and doesn't bulk the phone up anywhere as much as you might think. Now the other thing I was also interested in was Qi charging, I've tried a few of the cheapies about but they had to have the phone in exactly the right spot or they didn't work. No option of just buying Googles Orb in Australia yet, so I found one being sold online from Gadgets4Geeks website.
They had a video showing this charger working with a few different types of cases, so I bought one to try out. Works fine with different cases just like the video shows, well will it work with a leather case?
Answer is this charging pads seems to work perfectly with the Noreve leather case, I've taken some photos of the phone in the case showing the wireless charging working and a few of just how beautiful and well made this case truely is.
The Qi Pad
Phone shown charging still sidesways, while the phone does need to be put in the right area for charging to work it's quite a decent area so the phone also charges fine even if placed down on a angle. Nice and easy, the other thing I like is it beeps when it's made a connection/started charging and then once again when charging is finished. Thats it, the charger then turns off, none of this repeated beeping on or off like some of the chargers out there.
Now a couple more close up shots showing the beautiful Noreve case and how well it fits the Nexus 4 offering both style with very good protection
The Noreve Tradition case for the Nexus 4
Which Noreve?

Any idea WHICH case this is from Noreve. Tradition isn't one of the options on the site, and I want to make sure that I get one that works with a Qi charger.
It's listed on their site, here's a link http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/pro...=2679&osCsid=ba83d3b5b01db61f347d18b1290b60cb
Then lower down is your selection of colours and different finishes to the leather, I bought mine from a different site though as it worked out cheaper than direct from Noreve. I got mine through MobileZap online, heres a link http://www.mobilezap.com.au/38454-noreve-tradition-case-for-google-nexus-4---brown.htm
Some of the Noreve cases have the option for a belt clip also but I didn't get that as I was worried the metal clip would stop the case siting flat as well as Qi charging not working. I have noticed that Qi charging is slower with a case fitted but I guess thats to be expected as the phone is further away from the charging surface, I really love this case and am so glad Qi charging at least works.

I too have a Noreve case for my new Nexus 7 but I have not been able to find a Qi charger that works with this case. Can you please tell me the brand so I can search for a source here in the US? Thanks!
Towards the end he mentioned Gadgets4Geeks.
Here is the link for the charger: http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/qi_wireless_charger
Yep, the QI charger I'm using is from Gadgets4Geeks. Still using it and the same leather case without any problems, the charger works a treat. I think it may charger slightly slower (though I've not timed/tested this) with the case than without. I don't ever take it out of the case, extremely happy with this set-up
Incase it helps the info on the underside of the Qi charger is this:
Wireless charging pad
Model: T-100
input: DC 5v, 1500mA
Made in China
I am not having luck finding a protective case that will fit the 1020 with the wireless cover on the phone. If anyone finds a TPU type case, please post a link.
Those cases cover the video stereo microphone

Im looking for a case too that fits wireless shell.
hate to add another "we are looking as well" post but we are.
wife bought a silicone cover (hasnt arrived yet) i thought if it didnt quite fit we could use a hair dryer to make it more pliable to get it over top. Id prefer a hard case for mine ive used otterboxes on all my phones for years but im rather excited about the wireless charging hate the fact it looks like i get one or the other.

just do this lads
Interesting thing about Wireless charging in 1020, is fact that grossly overpriced wireless charging back hauses ONLY induction coil and connector, nothing else. That is why i thibk it is waaay overpriced than it should be. (universal wireless charging coil from china, that has buil in conversion circuit, costs about $6). I've got one of these, and taped it to the inside of my nilkin case (connector was a big problem) and it works. If you do not want to mess with connector fabrication, you can use original wireless charging back. Juzt sumply warm it up with hairdryer, and peel off the adhesive with coil. Then apply it to your case of choice, and voila, wireless charging with your favourite case.
1020 supports wireless charging ?
Not out of the box, but with the right case yes.

Can you advise on the connector and which pin is + and -?
Id be keen to try and make my own case if its a generic coil
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.

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.
I got a OP7Pro recently and am really liking the phone in nearly all ways except for the lack of wireless charging. I have a few specific needs while on the road and the lack of wireless charging is very problematic for me.
To try to compensate for this, I grabbed a Nillkin Magic Tag (USB-C Short version) for $13 on Amazon. This adds the missing functionality very well and seems like the best possibly way for me to correct this one problem for me.
However, I'm trying to find a case that plays nicely with this particular Qi addon. Not that I have very many cases (a couple official cases and a Speck case) but all of them bulge a bit due to the thickness of the pad of the Magic Tag (surprisingly, they're all fine with the USB-C connector and cable, which is what I thought I'd have problems with). This bulging has minor side-effects such as causing the cases to be "creaky", causing the back of the phone (well, case) to be curved resulting in my phone sliding off of Qi docks, buttons and cutouts not quite lining up perfectly, gaps between the case and phone beneath the camera, etc. that I'd like to avoid.
Does anybody know of a good case that has a bit of a cutout in the back that could accommodate this Qi coil without such a bulge? I was previously loving the first-party carbon fiber case but this bulge makes it much less good.
Any luck with this? My dbrand grip case is deteriorating so looking for the best option to work with the wireless charger. Leaning towards this one so I can cut my own recess if needed.
I recently picked up this 10000mAh Battery Case from ZeroLemon for my S22 Ultra. My jaw dropped as I took it out of the packaging and saw how big this thing is. The Amazon page states that it is as thick as 3 S22 Ultras and yeah, it's pretty close to that.
Aside from its thickness the case feels pretty durable. It comes with a dual layer system, a polycarbonate interior shell covered by a tough exterior skin similar to an Otterbox. It has all the cutouts for the cameras, charger, pen, speaker and microphones. The overlay on the hardware buttons feel a little mushy but have a satisfying "click" when depressed.
As far as protection goes I think it will do a decent job of keeping your S22U from getting jacked up should you drop it while wearing this suit of armor. The corners are well protected as well as the camera. The screen, however, isn't really recessed from the front so a screen protector is definitely recommended. Although the product page on Amazon says that this case is not compatible with a tempered glass screen protector, the one I purchased (AACL) has no issues fitting with this case.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and yet to plug it to recharge. And as far as that goes, you can either use your USB-C cable or a wireless charging pad to charge the battery and your phone simultaneously.
I have been a ZeroLemon fan since the days of the Galaxy SIII and I am so glad they came out with this. It has everything that I am looking for in a battery case but I wish they would have included a belt clip similar to an Otterbox to help lug this thing around. Any one else thinking about or already picked up one of these? If so how are you liking it?
Why not carrying a 10000mAh powerbank and use a normal case?

So what is the total weight of this unit + phone together?
As someone who wants to bicycle to camping spots far away from civilization for about 3-4 days, this would be excellent. And yet, this case wouldn't fit most handlebar mounts. I'm sure the case I have is already pushing it since the phone is already so big (Pelican), these just keep getting bigger.
_________
Also: @mzsquared
Product Weight: 9.45 oz (267g)
Phone weight 229g
= 496g (1.093lbs.)
So more dangerous than 1 brick of butter.
Wow, looks bigger than any previous one's i've used from them.. can it work with the Whitestone Dome screen protector?
This case looks desirable. Some of the product reviews on Amazon say it falsely detects water damage, preventing charging. Is this a problem anyone in this thread has seen?
That thing is an absolute monstrosity. I can't imagine having that in my pocket at the gym. Suspenders would be a necessity.
look like you can kill somebody with it lol

Can someone tell me if this damages the battery? Batteries shouldn't be constantly topped up, so just wondering about that. I have heard about smart battery cases though, so I'm wondering what smart features this has.

It shouldn't. I don't start charging mine until I'm @25% or less. Maybe if you constantly turned it on and charged all the time.

I want to get one too! A have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. Does the case super fast charge the phone? Also, does the case get super fast charged too? Because I normally use the 45W one and I wouldn't like a step down from that one.

I am not much of a camera guy. I just take basic pics and haven't taken any ultra wide. So, it has not affected my use.
