AndroidCentral has some pictures of some of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Accessories:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsungs-new-galaxy-note-4-and-note-edge-accessories
TheVerge has some info on the bejeweled back covers and the LED Covers:
http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/3/6101321/galaxy-note-4-swarovski-crystal-back-accessories-announced
It looks like the LEDs on the LED Cover are just around the top portion of the flip, not all over it like the HTC Dot View.
Video talks about the Gear VR Headset, Gear S Watch, and Gear Circle:
The Qi Cover is separate like last year. The S View Covers are probably the same.

Sigh...I guess the internals from Note 3 wireless charging cover won't work...
Connecting points are horizontal this time. It was horizontal on Note 3.

Dock?
Curious if they will release a dock? I have one for my Note 3 that I will be trying first thing once the Note 4 arrives.

If you're talking about the OEM desk dock, it won't work because the Note 3 dock is USB 3.0 and the Note 4 is USB 2.0.

Anyone have an idea of when the official accessories will be available, like the wireless charging back? Not sure how long I'm willing to go without wireless charging on my Note 4.

That would be my first thought too, but I currently have a USB 2 dock that works great for the Note 3. So, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that it will work. I would like to ditch my Chinese knock-off dock with an official Samsung dock to gain 1920*1080 output. My knock-off dock only outputs 1280*720; but it is a fraction of the cost of the official dock...
So, I'll try my current dock when my Note 4 arrives and post my results. Then, if it does work, I'll spring for the official dock...

Is it weird that I'm only getting this phone because of that LED wallet cover thing?

most official Samsung accessories for the 4 are available now. Qi wireless charging covers on the 20th of this month.

Where is a dock or MHL 3.0 adapter available? You all realize it supports up to 4K @30hz display output? I can't seem to find any 3.0MHL. Also, anyone know if the miracast/allshare cast has improved in anyway ??

Where do you see them on sale now? I'm trying to find the LED or crystal covers and samsung mobile doesn't have N4 accessories listed yet.

neither the LED or the Crystal covers are available yet. the Samsung USA Mobile rep told me that the accessories site for the 4 won't go live until "next week", but he probably felt pressured into telling me that over the phone.

Some Accessories are being listed now on Samsung and the 50% off coupon works. See my post in the other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56001873&postcount=3

OEM battery and kit is on backorder
Anyone try to price match at it Best Buy and pick up in store? I imagine they don't honor the promotional pricing.

The old dock of my Note 1 works as expected with Note 4

Working economical Mhl for GN4?

Is anyone aware of this mhl product for the GN4? If so any insight or review would be appreciated. At less than $20 US it seems to be a better deal than the samsung product. There is also an install video on youtube.

netgear ptv 3000 works great with it. havent tried any others.

just make sure you get MHL 2.0
MHL 1.0 adaptors only do 1080p24, MHL 2.0 does 1080p60
if you want 4K you need MHL 3.0, but the 2.0 adaptors work just damn fine for me.

I'm not sure if they are still doing it; but when I registered my Galaxy S3, I received a 50% off promo code for anything $50 or less from Samsung's store. That made their $40.00 MHL adapter $19.99.

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.

I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2

it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5

I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.

Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home

Samsung OEM charger now available

I just left the Samsung website and placed my order for a second charger. They now have them in stock at $39.99 free shipping.

I ordered 2 on the 17th and they still haven't shipped......

If you mean type EP-YO760B, this one is available in Europe on stock from S3 sale start, also from End of November 2016, price is about 40 $ incl. all taxes.

Some trivia for those with seiko kinetic watches, the samsung charger charges these as well lol

Finally got my wireless chargers today. Neither one came with the usb cable. Says it does. I called and complained. They said they would escalate it and get them to me as quick as possible. Samsung has really been sucking ass lately.

None of the "S3" chargers on Amazon appear to actually be S3 chargers. I received one today that is labeled S3 and it's actually a bit smaller than an S2 charger I have - it's going back.

Thanks for the heads up! Would this be the same for this one even though it looks like it is in an original packaging and says genuine?

Not sure mine is on its way out to me today
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I kept holding off on ordering. I was going to order this morning and it's gone.

Chances are Samsung removed it from Amazon and there are no 3rd party sellers offering it. Not sure why unless they are trying to force the Dex station, want you to have to order the pad from them, or want everyone to buy their Usb-C to HDMI cable instead.
Honestly, I don't feel the pad is worth it. If you are willing to spend that much, get a wireless charger and Usb-C to HDMI plug instead. I have the station and works great, but the cable and charger combo is better IMO.

I like the Dex pad. Active cooling. I wish it had the Ethernet port too but probably took away from the bandwidth. I bought a Logitech mouse and keyboard to set up one port for the receiver and the other for a usb thumb drive.

Well. I think I figured out part of the mystery. Samsung just knocked the price down a lot on their website. Is it on clearance already?

One day sale. $40 shipped.

USB-C to HDMI does its job for me

Anybody else get in on the Dex from Samsung's website? I think it is only $40 today.

I mentioned earlier the day before that I think I was one day sale. I don't know how or why that affected amazon sellers. Perhaps Samsung notified them but they weren't extended he sale price and took the Dex pad down for one day.

B&H has the Dex Pad Dock for $99, or you can get it and a Duo charger for free if you order a Note 9 from them. The phone is unlocked.

Best buy has them for $75

I got mine from Samsung for 75. DeX pad does work with the note 9. However, the hdmi cord that came with it didnt feel right. Sometimes it wouldn't connect to my monitor. I used another hdmi cord and it worked fine. I barely used the DeX, probably used it 1-2 times since the time I received the product.

My $40 order said it would take 7-10 days to ship out. It went out Friday so hopefully I will receive this week sometime. Looks like it could be handy for a bigger screen. I really think Samsung should try for a lapdock type of system. Motorola bombed it trying to make money for every model of phone. Are Razer or Asus's implementation any good? I think Samsung should make one with a good IPS or AMOLED screen and with a huge battery under keyboard. Maybe 12-13" and has USB3.1 and USB type-c ports. Maybe even a user installed SSD slot for a local cloud backup for desktop experience. Android is getting so good alternatives to Chromebook would be nice if designed well with good work flow. Optimize it so there input latency with a mouse is gone.
I wonder if they could make it <.5" or <1.25cm thick with 40000mah battery for a portable laptop. They could probably more a nice gimmicky folding version with their bendable P-OLED but the price would be wrong. Heck somebody should make a good universal one and maybe that will force OEMs to take notice.
Or any rumors between Android and Chrome OS on the horizon again?

Do you have to remove your case for it to connect with the USB C on the pad?

Yes, however, it only works with the extended usbc adapter that I bought on Amazon. So it extends from my phone/case and fits into the dexpad just fine. Here's a pic of it with the adapter attached to the dexpad. I used the Samsung rugged case btw.
