Accessories youd like to see? - LG V10 Accessories

I'd like to see some review promos for @ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL quick charger and extended battery. @dmitrymugen extended Batteries. @sigma24 choetech qi cradle charger and portable power chargers. @intelliARMOR hd glass screen protector. @newisdom qi/nfc stickers. @slickwraps natural and @dbrand skins. @ARTECH21 Italian leather wallet.
How about guys? Sad to see none have made any requests or offers for reviewers. Looks like they overlooked the v10 or just plain missed it since it comes out only 6 months after the G4..

All I want is a holster for the thing. I nice, simple, vertical, holster.

Probably most didn't know, LG's marketing is absolutely terrible. I never knew this phone even existed, until a week, maybe 2 prior to its release.

Make sure if you're interested in buying one, to search for xtremeguard coupon on google, there are currently 80-91% off ones sitewide, and on the site it advertises 75%.
Altho I don't know how well it will hold up to REAL MTB riding.. YMMV

Thanks, ordered!

RND Nexus 4 dock review

Hey guys, I bought this Nexus 4 dock on Amazon and received it today. It's specifically designed for the Nexus 4 and fits like a glove. It is currently OOS but this dock looks exactly the same and is $10 cheaper than what I paid. D'oh! The dock works with or without a case thanks to a little insert that changes the size of the dock port. I tested the dock with my Diztronic TPU case and without.
What I like about the dock:
Plain and understated design with no logos or blinky LEDs
Matches the Nexus 4 with or without case perfectly
Works with or without a case
The N4 slides onto the micro usb port with little hassle. I think this will end my attempts to put in the micro usb cable upside down in the dark before falling asleep.
Surprisingly, the speaker doesn't sound too muffled despite being covered by the dock. I was able to comfortably have a conversation over speakerphone and watched a couple YouTube videos without issue.
You can lightly tap things on the screen without it tipping over
Charging works fine thus far. You can also plug it into a computer USB port to sync stuff
Cheap, at least compared to a Qi charger
What I don't like:
You need to hold the base with one hand to pull out the N4. It's made out of hollow plastic. A heavier, more solid feel would be nice, but the base would probably have to be made out of iron to slide out the N4 with one hand.
Included USB cable is short, around 3 feet long
Included wall charger works, but looks and feels cheap. I just plugged in my OEM charger instead
Here's a flickr set of some additional pics I took of the dock.
I'd highly recommend this little guy. IMO, current Qi chargers aren't worth the high cost for the extra convenience they provide. This dock strikes a better balance of convenience and price, and doesn't scrap too much on quality where it counts.
Looks decent. I had something similar for my old Evo. Be interesting to compare to the new Orb one. I just like the idea of magnets doing the work and not worrying about misalignment of the usb port.

Agreed, the orb charger looks ideal. That said, I don't think that this dock will hurt my micro usb connector - I can dock it with far less fuss than connecting the wire manually. But maybe that's just me and my poor hand-eye coordination. :highfive:
This looks ideal. Does anyone have a link to order one from Hong Kong? I have much better luck ordering from there to Canada than I do from the US...
Not sure if this is the same dock, but looks almost identical: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KiDiGi-Ne...520772?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2327426fc4
A question to the OP, I noticed from your pics that you were able to use the dock whilst the Nexus was in a Distronic case...was this a comfortable fit? I have bought the Ringke Fusion which is similar in shape to the case you're using.

Yep, the Diztronic case fit perfectly. Not too snug, not too loose. The phone slides down to the USB connector just by gravity alone. You then push the phone down a little and it locks in.

I know that the bumper is a little thicker than most TPU cases so I doubt it. The fit with the TPU case is pretty close.

I own 2 of the RND docks, one for an HTC Inspire and one for the Galaxy Note. I went to buy one for the Nexus 4 but it was out of stock then Google had the Orb so I ordered that instead (a lot more expensive but I need to keep the phone for 2 years at least so might as well enjoy it). I really do like these docks, they are very easy to drop your phone into, holds it at a very nice angle and I have never worried about damaging my USB port with it (unlike the Samsung Car Dock which always worried me).
I may still buy one of these for travel as they are small and seem to pack up well. I cant speak to this one specifically as I don't own it but if it is anything like the other two I have it is a very well build product. The one thing that has me a bit concerned is the statement about the cables. The cable they shipped with the old ones were definitely not short, I use one in my bedroom and it is about 6' long. They used to ship a long charge only cable and a shorter data cable, maybe they stopped doing that.
@rmgill Just wanted to thank you again for the recommendation. I bought the cheaper version you linked to in the OP and it appears to be the same as the more expensive one you bought. Very nice dock and killer price. Unfortunately, they're out of stock or I'd pick up another one for my desk at work.
I have a Ringke slim case on it and it slides into the dock with just the right amount of tension. Doesn't feel flimsy or particularly cheap and the back supports it well enough that I don't worry about the microUSB port getting damaged. Definitely recommend it.

love mei case ?? anyone hear of this

http://www.lovemeicase.com/pro.asp?id=15 Ive been looking for a waterproof case that is also shockproof military grade stuff.. I spend a lot of time in the woods and need good rain protection and drop protection. While looking I found this case and for the cost Ive never heard of them. While im at it if anyone can recommend a good case.. Im looking at the survivor griffin.. otterbox dosent do it for me or the trident. Life proof isnt shockproof enough.. This case looks pretty rugged but no clip for belt or molly so thats a negative but if its a solid case ill make something for it lol

It's on ebay for a bit cheaper and it's not waterproof. Just resistant. So could take splashes and stuff like that but wouldn't immerse for any extended period of time.
Lifeproof doesn't exist yet, but if it did, it's a 6.6 foot drop. Most of the heavy duty cases are 2 meter drop tested.

Don't order from casefanatic, they jack the price up. Even for the love mei bumper they put a $20+ price tag when you can get it for less than $10 on ebay. If you need a cheaper price let me know and I'll find one for you guys

This does look good. I usually don't go for cases like this myself. But having gorilla glass instead of plastic crap makes it more desirable than the defender.

at that site they call it the original case but it appears to be a chinese knockoff(peek written on the side, whatever the hell that means), although who really can tell, side note, i wonder how the chinese feel about having their own designs ripped off, karmas a bittch eh?

I just recieved mine from dx-box. now the case feels like a brick which is good. .. bit the screen protector is not gorilla glass. Its thick plastic. Which makes it hard to touch things on the side of the screen and back button is hard to use. My touch sensitivity is on high and still the same. I recommend this if your patient. But otherwise get it from the company which I'm going to do.

Different color backs

I wonder if they will have different colored back plates. Preferably made out of the same premium material and not just some garbage rubber. That would be cool.
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA Free mobile app
Took the words directly from me lol .would love this as well..maybe like burnt orange, wine red, lime or like motomaker with custom stripes or patterns...or even maybe even a limited edition durable leather back, too bad T-mobile and Verizon have like select colors models though .
Ditto, was just about to post this same exact question, lucky XDA does a similar post search
I'd like to get a couple of the other colors to alternate. Preferably OEM, even if it's go the other carrier logos.
EDIT: I'd take even slick metallic backs like the LG G4, at least vinyl skins would stick flat on that one. Like the Moto Nexus 6 has those "natural" skins made of leather, cork, or football leather.

Just out of curiosity, can you tell us where (regionally) your wood is sourced from? And are the cases made/assembled in the U.K.?
And finally, would the Snap case protect the rear camera visor of the phone?

No problem!
Our wood is sourced from all over the world, depending on the species. Some of our woods come from the US and Canada (for example our Walnut and Maple), whereas others come from Asia (Bamboo), South America (Mahogany and Purpleheart) Africa (Padauk and Black Limba) and Europe (Carpathian Elm Burl). The wood is transported to our small studio in South Wales, UK, where it's laser cut and hand-sanded before being combined with our TPU/polycarbonate snap cases.
Our cases for the Nexus 6P will be a variation of our standard #WoodBack case called the #WoodBack Explorer case. These cases are made with rubber-like edges for added grip and impact protection, and feature a raised bezel to protect the screen. Due to the "snap on" style of the case, it will offer some protection to the rear camera visor by very slightly raising the rear of the device from any surface when placed face up.
I hope that helps, any other questions please let me know

Glad to hear the case will be of the Explorer series! It would be really nice if the top and bottom of the phone were also protected by the rubber bumper. Consider my interest piqued, and I'm looking forward to product photos in the days (weeks?) to come

Yep, happy to confirm that the top and bottom of the phone will be protected by the Explorer case. I'll let you know as soon as the photos are available, hopefully later this month

That sounds interesting. Have you ever made one our of purple heart wood? I know it's a really hard wood thus making it hard to sand/cut

We actually do make one with purpleheart. Fortunately due to the small size of the finished piece of wood (and the benefits of using a laser for cutting!) we don't really notice any extra work with this in comparison to our other woods.

Will there be any available Nexus engraving on the back? And when can we expect these out? Thanks

Unfortunately we can't engrave Nexus on the back of the case because we'd it's a trademarked logo and so we can't replicate it
The good news is cases will be available for pre-order in around a week's time, and ready to ship in 3 weeks time. I'm sorry that the wait has been longer than expected, but we wanted to make sure the cases were 100% right before they're listed for sale.

Will you guys be able to make wood case with inbuilt Qi receiving pad? I'm interested in getting 6P but the lack of wireless charging is holding me back

Such a case would require your USB C port to be occupied all the time. There hasn't been much interest according to another qi thread here, since our phones charge so quickly and last so long.
I do wish wireless charging was here though [emoji53]

Maybe they could make a male C plug and a female one on the case, with the qi receiver.. That would ensure that you can plug in the cable as well

Latercase vs. Pitaka?

I have used a Pitaka case in the past on my Note 10+, and the experience was pleasant. It was a little rough around the edges/cutouts but it wasn't so bad. So I decided to order one for my 8 Pro as well. Given the pandemic, shipping hasn't happened despite ordering 4-5 days ago, and I'm considering the Latercase as a result.
Pros of the Pitaka is that it has the ability to connect magnetically to car mounts and what not, but that's about it (vs the Latercase at least). But I'm about to order the Latercase to check it out.
Has anyone had experience with the Latercase? Are they shipping quicker? Any qc issues?
I appreciate any input!
I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

Please add some pictures of both cases on your phone
How about Air Case from Pitaka?
I'm using the mag case from Pitaka, really enjoy it. I heard about the Latercase but never used it.
Talking about minimalist cases, there's another case from Pitaka that looks minimalist, and it has no magnetic feature. It's called the Air Case. It looks better than the mag case from the picture on the site.
Has anyone had experience with that?
I recieved my latercase around a week ago. Very happy with the product and the shipping (Im Norwegian)
both of these are not designed for drop protection so its a shame

My pre order still has not arrived in the Netherlands. Good to see you are happy with it, makes the waiting worth while...
I would love to use either of the cases but until they close up the buttons and cover those along with the top and bottom on the devices they won't be a fit for me.
I like minimalistic cases like these but want every side, button, etc covered. It's 100% possible as mnml has cases like that and so do other 3rd parties cases.
If and when they do that, then I'll buy. Just feedback. Not meaning to complain.

Using the fathers days' 15 % promotion makes it £34 from pitaka. Quite a margin vs amazon.
I got both cases... Just received the Pitaka today and have been using the Later case for 2 weeks now.. by looks, both are identical.. by feel I like the Pitaka more, you can feel the metirials in the case better than the Later case... also for some reason the camera ridge is a bit higher which will give the cameras slightly extra protection... Also the later case is thinner, I guess the Pitaka has the metal liners inside the case so it feel more sturdier...
Let me know if you like to see pics of both on and off the device...

Also if anyone is buying the Pitaka case... Install Honey... That gave me a $7 discount by applying a promo code at check out.... Hope this helps..

Jesus, I don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon first.
I ordered off Pitaka's website at a small discount well over a week ago and have a feeling I'll be waiting a while for the case to get here. Amazon over here has the case at full price but it'll be delivered in 2 days, that's just silly. I have half a mind to buy it and return it when the original one comes.
For anyone wondering about the Later Case, mine just arrived today, I also have one on my S20 Ultra, highly recommend, the quality and feel is absolutely spot on.......?
Those who already received the Pitaka: does the wireless charging work as promised?
Following the thread and looking forward to someone with both cases do a side by side comparison
Never buy latercase, it's a rip off of Pitaka, they even sued them. Shameful........but that's MHO.

While I'm no big fan of Lew or Latercase, the fact that it's a rip off of a Pitaka case has been rather disbursed. Yes, they are quintessentially the same in terms of looks - but they aren't identical. There's a different feel to each one and a different build quality. It's not like Lew is literally ordering his case exactly where Pitaka gets theirs from and just brands it as a "Latercase". He uses a different carbon fiber weave, his cases have a different texture/feel, and they also don't possess the magnet that's built into the case.
I have no allegiances with either company, but the Pitaka just makes sense for me because their case has the magnet that allows me to just throw the phone on the magnetic mount on my car. I'm hoping the OnePlus Warp wireless charger works with the case is all, since that's how I primarily charge the phone.
At this point I'm frustrated with the wait time with the Pitaka case. I ordered it on June 5th and it probably won't be here for at least another 4-5 days. I could've just ordered it off Amazon and got it way sooner.
How's the shipping for the Latercase looking?

Well, without the phone the case does not make sense.

I hope you have better luck with your order than I am. I ordered on the 1st. Last update was on the 6th. Emailed 3 times and finally got a canned reply yesterday stating my order had been handed off to the carrier and it wasn't their problem.
