Phone Stand

I've been looking for a phone stand for quite some time now. Would really appreciate suggestions or recommendations of stands people have used.
Things I am looking for:
Can hold N4 in portrait and landscape
Minimal coverage of the entire front
Good cable management or built in microUSB charger
Sturdy construction

A lightweight designed stand is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find anything... I'm new to Nexus and have to replace my iPhone gear.

Are you guys open to diy or strictly something professionally designed?

I was looking for the same thing for my newly bought Nexus 4.
I've searched ebay and didn't find anything that looks decent to be honest.
The most beatiful / pratical thing I've found is this LG Wireless charger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-WCD-80...51188?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item3a7fa87b34

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But the price is simply obnoxious.
Then there is this ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sync-Dock...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3cd011bd82
Which seem very.. meh. Plastic thing.

Now that first one is sexy! I'd personally be a bit wary of the price and location of the item but if someone gets one and works legit I'd love to know.
Your 2nd link is a charger stand I used with my old LG 2x, they are very good, I had 2 of them (one for work one for home). :good:

I've got two of the second one. Bought off Amazon. Work fine but ensure that they supply the non-case insert adapter as the first one I purchased didn
't come with one. Phone still charges but is slightly loose in the cradle.

I would say pro design, I'm hoping to have something slick in appearance.

The two images posted look pretty good. Too bad the top one is so expensive and out of the price range I was thinking about spending on a stand. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Review: "Power Case"

I was send this item for review. Its a juice pack/ Battery case for the S4.
Its esentially a extra battery and case combo that can be found at the link below:
http://www.tmart.com/Power-Case-for-Samsung-i9500-3200mAh-Black_p185178.html
I used the case for about 3 days. Seams to work well once my battery was getting low all i had to do was hit the button and it started to charge. its Not truly meant for charging the device. it is more of maintaining power so that you can still use the device. The kick stand came in very handy while watching movies because i didn't have to hold it. It sat at the perfect angle for viewing. There are 4 LED's that show the charging status of the case that allows you to easily tell where the level is at. A few things that i did not like is that the kick stand seams to be very flimsy, i feel like it will break easily. Also when it is in my pocket, on for charging. Often times the movement in my pocket would turn the case off so it is no longer charging the phone. Very annoying if the phone is very low on power. But when it did charge it did its job.
Pros:
Case hold the phone secure
Bult in flip cover (does not react with screen)
Provides extra power at a push of a button
Built in case for phone
Inexpensive
Built in kick stand
Charge Status LED's
Cons:
Power button sometimes gets pushed while in pocket
Can be bulky for some users
Kick stand is a little flimsy

Can you post some profile shots so we can see how thick it makes the phone? Also, does nfc work?

NFC should work because this doesn't replace the battery.

Looks like a nice alternative for extended batteries.
For "normal" people - that's 98.6563 grams.

i dont have anything to test NFC with, BUT my guess is no because its thick and NFC does not travel that far.

Just received this the other day, and I've been very impressed. Low cost, good quality it seems. Performs just fine on my Nokia charger that I got for $25 :3
Bulges somewhat, but my case seems to handle it and hide it well. Charging speeds seems typical of Qi standards.
Have not got a chance to test NFC yet, but I'm sure it will function fine.
So if you want wireless charging for your lovely S4 and you've got 15 bucks. Pick this bad boy up!

Does it still fit in any slim case with that slight bulge you mentioned?

Seems to be alright.

Battery case 4800mah

Had anybody tried one of these?

The back says 4200mAh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4800-mAh-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3cec204d9d
So probably will be far from even 4000mAh:

Not bad when you need it in pinch. I've used these cases before.

Never understood why the people who make these batteries do not like protecting the front face of the phone. Only one that does it is molphie

I got it today, it says 4800mAh on the back...
Mine came without any retail box...
I will test it now.

That pretty much alters the protective mechanism of the device against drops. Not only does it not protect the device, I would say its a pro-damage case too. It seems to increase the likelihood that you will damage it.

I am really interested to see how it tests out for you. I saw some on Amazon and was thinking of purchasing one. I use my Note 4 from 7am to 11pm, almost none stop. The battery does last me all day sometimes but having that extra juice would be nice. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Any update on the power case?

Sorry for the delay.
The battery charger charges from 0 to full charge in about 3-4Hours...
It charges slowly, but it works.

Nice. I was looking at this case for while. I wanted a extended battery case that wasn't so big and this fits the bill.

Why turn your N4 into a heavy brick when you can just carry a spare battery?

Same question can be asked, why carry around two items in my pocket? Rather carry one. Mostly for laziness, just hit the switch and phone is charging. Besides, this isn't that bad compared to the ZeroLemon case., now that is huge.

I don't understand this attraction of humongous batteries. We live in the modern age, where industrial design and manufacturing elegance has come a long way. To take these very elegant and slim phones and duct tape gynormous batteries to the back seems counter intuitive to me.
How hard is it to charge your phone every day? I am sure keeping a car charger for the charge on the way back home isn't a huge inconvenience. Or keeping a qi pad at your desk at work and just tossing your phone on it when you get to work.
All you big battery guys are going to look like this

[Q] What you own and what you want.

I'm curious..
Simply, what accessories do you currently own, and which specific accessories do you desire?
I personally only own an aluminum placement battery cover.
I would like an extended battery case for that extra juice on my weekly snowboarding trips!

Zerolemon 10000mah
I just got zerolemon 10000mah for my Note 4. That i believe you should get for yourself. I also own a spigen case also.

How bulky is the zerlomeon case, and how long does it take to charge to 100% from dead?

Honestly it's not as bulky as I anticipated. The video tutorials call it a brick but u feel their is a slight chunk added to the original weight of the phone. Now if you compare that with the benefit you are getting I believe it's a small price to pay for. I have done a single charge till now of around 10+ hours which I was supposed to do it till 12. But the current status of my phone battery right now is that I have used it for 24 hours and it has just dropped till 64%. It's going pretty smooth I believe. Give it a shot.

It's pretty damn big and heavy, but I can use it fine on a daily basis. I recently took it off and put back the regular battery and back. Wow, it's so light and thin.
The battery thickness is actually about as thick as the phone if not a little thicker. So you'd be walking around with 2 Notes in your pocket size-wise.
The battery is hard to gauge though. I'd suggest getting GSAM or something that can monitor your battery voltage. It screws with the phone. I think my fast charger once said it was done but i checked the voltage and it wasn't done yet, so I plugged it back in another charger just to be safe.
I once compared my Z3C and Note 4 with the zerolemon in GSAM and they had the same voltage but I think the Z3C said 73% and the Note said 50 something. I don't remember, but I do remember I felt something was wrong with what I saw
I almost forgot about the buttons. They are so sensitive. I've accidentally locked the phone when viewing landscape so many times.
Edit to add picture if I can figure out how.
Note 4 inside the case, you can see the tabs to push the volume buttons actually sit higher than the phone.

What am I supposed to do from here?

Take a look at the Zero lemon thread here before you decide to purchase. Some issues reported with it not accurately showing the correct battery level, etc. Be sure to check out the Hyperion battery thread too and compare.
