I am thinking about buying Moto Z2 Play. But a holster is something I have become very accustomed to with my last three android phones, and not sure I want to give it up.
Are there any available holsters for this phone that will accomodate presence of a motomod such as the batterypack or even accommodate just the normal back cover with wireless charger?
I use this:
OneTigris MOLLE Phone Pouch for 4.7" 5.5" Phone with Slim Case
The Z2 play with the wireless charging shell is pretty loose in it, so I think that a battery mod would fit. It is a good price right now - $12.06.

I'm now the proud owner a Nexus 4 (first Nexus device). I'm keen on getting a wireless charger for the convenience but the options are limited. I live in the UK and the options available here seem even more limited than what is available in the States. I am interested in holding out for the official Nexus wireless charger but I am wondering how the phone sticks to the charger? I use a TPU case for my Nexus 4 so I'm not even sure if it will work with this. It looks like the charger has a rubbery surface which grips the glass back of the phone (which may not work as well with the TPU case). If it uses magnetism, will this be powerful enough to securely hold the N4 through the TPU case?
The other option I was looking at is the TYTL Vu. It looks really great but the only downside is that the angle the phone rests at doesn't seem like it is steep enough. If it is on my desk next to a PC then I'm guessing I might need a steeper angle. I could prop up the back end to give this steeper angle but it's not ideal. If they made it with an adjustable height back support so the angle could be changed then this would be perfect. Obviously, as the phone only rests against the ledge on the TYTL, it will work fine with a TPU case. I'm not sure what the availability will be like in the UK though.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Hey, everyone!
I've seen video reviews for both cases, but they didn't exactly cover the points that I really wanted to know.
The Kommandant Ultra Thin Aluminium Metal Case (Just Google "Kommandant S4 Case". The link to the case goes straight to Ebay)
OR
The Spigen Neo Hybrid Case Case (http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases/galaxy-s4-case-neo-hybrid.html)
If you have either of these cases, I need to know just a few things:
1. If I lay my phone flat on a table, does the camera lense touch the table? Or does the case come out enough to stop the camera from touching the table? (I don't want the camera lense scratched)
2. When the phone is in the case, how sturdy does it feel? Does the phone wiggle at all if you shake the case a little bit?
3. Does the case feel solid? Does it feel like it could fall apart at any moment? Or does it feel solid and well built?
Please weigh in if at all possible!
I have both cases, so I can answer your questions..
1. Neither case lets the camera lens touch the table.
2. The aluminum case is a lot more sturdier, however sturdiness does not equal drop protection. (Aluminum case would transfer the shock of the drop to the body of the phone and screen, but the TPU in the Neo Hybrid would absorb some of the impact, although not as much as a silicon-poly-carbonate combo case like the Incipio DualPro).....
3. Same thing...neither of the cases will fall apart.
PRO TIP: The Kommandant case from CaseFanatic is actually a slightly remodeled Chinese aluminum case which can be bought from eBay for ~$12-16.. (I also have a aluminum case from eBay for $13, it looks, and feels almost identical to the Kommandant)
Search "Bumper aluminum case galaxy s4" on eBay, you should be able to find some.
By the way, aluminum cases that have a back plate tend to lower your cell, WiFi, GPS reception by about 1 bar, but you could get a aluminum bumper which doesn't affect reception at all.
Spiegen case is great. I don't have or want the other. I did some research on the case before buying, the ones listed on eBay for half price are not real. I bought from the manufacturer got a screen protector for half price.
Lense won't get scratched laying flat on the table. Very well engineered to fit perfectly around the camera and flash.
Case is very snug and buttons are really easy to push. Great phone Jack is small but fits stock head phone fine. But my computer speakers Jack won't fit. Also 3rd pray chargers that are bigger on the end don't fit. Example being my Motorola car charger from a few years ago.
I have dropped my phone several times and the plastic around the phone is jacked up but the phone it's self is perfect. You can buy replacement for 10 on there web site. Or different colors. I have metal red and yellow. Digging the red... I have a white phone.

Spigen all the way! Is fits sooo nice
Here I am, in total confusion. Should I buy a pouch or case?
Here's what I feel, think and want:
I like a pouch, because the phone inside is pure. I can take it out and I'll be holding the phone in its slimmest form (read: original form). On the other hand, I have used pouches before with my LG Optimus 2X and the cover got these marks where it always slid over the pouch (basicly, cover was screwed).
That said, it's pretty clear. I like to hold the S5 like I got it from the box. On the other hand I would like it to have some protection.
I feel that a flip case (from Samsung) might suit me the best, because it's pretty thin and covers the screen as well.
But, somehow I think that this flip case might be a bit unhandy sometimes (taking pictures, holding it to type, sturdy?).
What I'm asking: does anyone have experience with large smartphones and pouches?
Here's some links:
S5 Flip wallet
Krusell Pouch 1
Krusell Pouch 2
(also, if you know some other pouches - perhaps tailored for the S5 - do tell!)
I am looking for a pouch as well..using the one for I got for the S3 but for obvious reasons, it doesnt close the top portion unless if i force the velcro to reach, lol.
I'm also looking for a pouch for my S5. I've purchased a couple off of ebay. They are always too big. Has anyone found one that they could recommend that fits a naked S5? Not one that can also fit a Note. This is a big phone already and I don't want to have an even bigger pouch on my belt.
I'm not in the practice to carry a purse around. I carry a pouch on my belt. I use it to carry my phone, nothing else. I have a wallet in my back pocket for cards and such. I like the look and feel of the phone itself. I don't want to cover my well designed phone with a cheap case or even and expensive one. I'm looking for a pouch that fits the s5 cleanly and naked. All I've seen so far are ones that fit it with a case on it or they are universal and big enough to also fit a note. The note is a class bigger than I need.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but I just received this pouch and my naked S5 fits in it perfectly with no room to spare. You may have tried one like this already. Once clipped onto your belt the case can be rotated 360 degrees through eight different, fairly firm positions 45 degrees apart. If you don't want the rotation capability you could easily glue it in the position you want. The flap is held in place magnetically.

Those are the specs I am looking for. But I'm also wanting a horizontal pouch. I also need a very good clip. I usually get one that has the the extra belt loops on each side of the clip. I work on a ladder all the time and usually have other things on my belt also. I've had lesser clips work their way off while up there and phones don't do well from a drop that far up.
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

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.

Like so many other owners of the Moto G5S Plus, I've struggled with finding a quality case. I've bought several off Amazon, and one from eBay that ended up going directly in the trash can, it was that bad.
I'll admit, I'm very picky. I want a case that's rugged, that offers good camera and screen protection, and is well made. I initially settled on this one from Amazon, and even though it provided adequate protection, I've never been happy with how grippy the soft silicone inner shell is, which makes it a pain when taking it in and out of pockets.
Every few weeks since I've purchased the phone, I've been searching on Amazon to see what's become available, and every time I've tried another case, I've been thoroughly disappointed, until now.
I came across the CoverOn Tank Series case on Amazon, and it looked promising, but only had one review. At $10, I thought I'd take a chance. It arrived today, and I'm very pleased with it. The design of the case is nearly identical to the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, without the built in screen protector, which for me is a plus. The case back and the front bezel are made of polycarbonate, and the TPU shell is fused to the polycarbonate back of the case. The sides of the TPU offer just the right amount of grip, with additional cushion on the corners. The button covers are very tactile with zero gap, which prevents additional dust from getting inside the case. The case also has port covers integrated into the TPU, with the cutouts for the microphones and speaker perfectly placed. On a scale from 1-10, it's an easy 9.
In my opinion, and after just a few hours of use, there's two cons for this case.
1. I'm not a big fan of port covers, and actually cut them off the Unicorn Beetle Pro case for my old phone, because on that particular case, the material was too stiff and the port cover put too much tension on the USB cable when it was plugged in. Maybe it isn't a problem, but I just wasn't comfortable with it. On the CoverOn Tank cover, I may be keeping the port covers. There isn't much tension from the port covers on this case, but the covers are sometimes a bit of a pain to get open. However, because of a lack of tension, after the port cover has been open for any extended period of time, such as while the phone is charging, it takes a while before the port cover will fully recess back into the opening in the case. If I get tired of it, I'll probably just cut the port covers off the case.
2. The polycarbonate screen bezel could fit a little tighter to the TPU. It's not loose enough that I would worry about the case and bezel separating, but it's not quite as snug as the Supcase. It is tight enough, though, to get the job done.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this case, and it would take an amazing, new case coming out for me to consider switching. If you're unhappy with the case you have, give this one a shot, I doubt you'd be disappointed.

I've been looking for something with port covers, actually, but that particular case is not available in the UK. Ringke is another option, but only made for G5 Plus, not the S.
The link says it ships to the UK. It's not on Amazon UK but they do ship from Amazon.com
Received mine in the UK after ordering from Amazon.com
Really pleased with it. Think it's the best case I've ever seen.
