If anyone knows of a better case to get could you please post a link...preferably to ebay or amazon
Thank you to anyone who is willing to help
I got this one at Radio Shack and so far I like it. Seems to give the phone a little protection and does not add too much to the phone. It was only about $9.00.
Incipio MT-106 Feather Case for Motorola Atrix 4G - Matte Black
I have the speck case. Very durable and even dropped my phone from about five feet high landing on the corner of the case on the edge of my metal bedframe. The case has a little dent where that happened but nothing happened to the phone. Doesnt fit very well in the dock but is extremely easy to take on and off.
you should think about getting a new back cover (i believe they come in green or blue) and then just putting a high quality screen protector on your phone. the scratch issue is gone, the phone still fits in the dock, and the screen is decently protected.
this may help:

I would recommend the Seidio Active case from www.seidioonline.com if you dont like bulk but want decent protection. I own that case in Sapphire Blue and love it. I'm currently using my Ballistic HC series case, which is the BEST protection you can possibly get for the Atrix. Beats the otterbox defender hands down.

I USE THIS ONE ALL BLACK http://www.amazon.com/Black-Hybrid-R...7828950&sr=8-3
I'm definitely gonna buy a new back cover - http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html and most probably also the seido case - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3MT..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317897936&sr=1-5
just a couple of more questions:
Will the seido case work with the docking station?
Which screen protector should i get as well?
Personally I just bought an oem battery door from ebay and it fits perfect, with less creaking than my old one. Plus I purchased a tpu case from ebay also, I always go with these tpu cases as they are lightweight and protect from major falls. Dropped my inc-s which had one from about 4 feet onto concrete and not a single mark was left on the phone. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I sounds like an idiot, kinda new to posting
I still prefer the old flip leather case I used with my HTCs with windows mobile. Good times...

To be honest, I love the aesthetics of this case; however, I dislike it very much right now.
I recently dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It's not a high car. I saw the phone hit the ground, the case flew off, and then my phone hit the ground again.
Now, my once pristine phone has deep scratches on all 4 corners.
Sad times.

New dilemma
Ok now after all of my case searching these are the two choices that i have:
An Incipio Feather Case and Zagg Screen Protector
or
An Incipio SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core
Which one should i get now?
btw i couldnt get what i said i was getting before cause they do not deliver to Pakistan but Incipio and Zagg do from their official websites
get the Otterbox Commuter
Dont really like the Otterbox commuter...what about the two cases that i stated before? Which one of those should i get?
Pwersonally, I would go for the 'Clear Protector' instead of Zagg... I have tried both and found the 'clear' a smarter fit.
As for the cover, it is up to you. Trial and erorr no doubt. I have the mesh cover which fits well (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Hard-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e8938ff1) and provides protection.
I prefer Martin Fields than Zagg. They seem comparable in protection but Martin Fields has no orange peel yet has anti glare and also A LOT easier to 'install' on your phone.
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help
Hey guys, if someone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
I just bought my father the note (sold his GS2 on craigslist) and i got him this case on amazon.
The problem is, my father is used to using a leather holster case that the whole phone slips into, this holster obvioulsy isnt like that, one side goes in, then the other.
He tried getting a holster case by the different stands he usually goes to bu the ones they have, dont fit the phone and the rubber seido case....
has anyone else had this problem and found a leather holster that fits the note and a case?
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Was he BlackBerry? We used pocket cases with those. I use a very nice pocket case from amazon.com.

Sorry, i guess i wasnt really specific. more of this kind of case... but it would have to fit hit protection case too...
I doubt you're gonna find a leather case that let's the phone and the rubber case slide in to. But if you boosted in the accessories forum you might get more answers.

This is a ballistic rubber-like case I bought at a store a while back. I also have a neo hybrid case. I like the feel free of this case a lot. It has a good grip and good protection. I like the looks except for the back. It has these little dots on the inside that help it grip the phone but I think it might look bad?

I hate cases But the S4 wouldnt survive anything without it That case u got is hugee... i prefer ultra thin... offcourse that case will give ur phone propper protection if it fall down
Yeah, it's pretty big and the corners are well protected. So, you don't think it looks cheap or anything?
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S4 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2.
The issue I've found with GS4 cases, is a lot of them have very small openings for the headphone jack. I've struggled to find a case that offers a reasonable amount of protection, a slim profile, and a nice opening for the headphone jack.
Not a fan of the corners - but, hey - to each thier own!
That looks gooey .
that's nice:highfive:
I HATE CASES.. big cases at that, but I actually got the commuter otter box case.. best investment
I put an Otterbox Defender on everything. My tablet even has one. On my S3 I had a Zagg Invishield on it because I was using the Mophie Battery Case. I had an Otterbox Defender for that phone too but didn't use it much. Only used it when I went to areas of high risk like a racetrack maybe but always carried the Mophie Case.
I just got my s4 today, I ordered an UAG case. I had one for my s3 and loved it. Very snug, perfect cutouts(both placement and size) and it is only one piece for ease of removal. The rubber corners are made it off a material that has just enough grip in your hand, but doesn't get lint from your pocket. I'm a carpenter and a bit rough with stuff, it's very durable. Bounced it many times off concrete floors.
looks wack. i got a spigen slim armor in slate for my black s4 and it looks sooo good.
Phone Case
I just picked up the S4 the other day and was not into any of the cases the phone vendor had in stock. They had Otter and a couple others, the Otter boxes seemed excellent but I couldn't get by the lunch box size of the final assembly. Anyway I tried several not really liking any, so I looked on line and found one made by Elementcase that seemed to be what I was looking for. It arrived over night and did indeed prove to be what I was looking for. A nice design, light and slim with a machined bezel and kick stand.
Nice case!
Actually not a bad looking case at all

looks nice...
Actually looks good and like it easy to hold on to.
Post a pick of the empty case if you would and where you got it.
Thx
Thanks guys. I rotate between that case and my spigen neo hybrid. I love the looks of the neo hybrid so much but this rubber one stays much cleaner.
I'll post a picture of the case off the phone when I get home in a bit. I bought it at AT&T and it's called ballistic something. Verizon store didn't have any cases and after I bought the phone I wanted a temporary case until I ordered the neo hybrid.

I originally had a big ole body glove case from the vzw store. Recently got the Ringke Fusion and really like it. Nice and thin, looks nice and has space in all the openings for all my various usb plugs and headphones.

I just got my Neo Hybrid a few days ago and really love it.....just enough to keep it in your hands well without adding much bulk.
I thought we'd start a thread to help those with the Official Sumsung Wireless Charging Cover find a case that fits.
Please share a link and description if you've found any. Thanks!

Another one here, too:

These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.
One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.

This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.

Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.
Thanks for the links!
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.
Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.

I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.
This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.
Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Try that insert...
Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in

Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...
I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
So I'm about to replace my S6 Edge with an S7 Edge in Black Onyx. The only thing I hate about not having an iPhone is the general lack of good leather back covers.
Now obviously Samsung do an official leather cover for the S7/S7 Edge, and I've seen reviews Etc., but I can't find anything on how it holds up long-term.
Does the leather develop a nice patina like the official iPhone cases, or does it wear and start to peel like cheap PU leather cases? Would love to see some pics. Also I'd like the brown but I've heard it's more of a tan colour, does it darken with age, or is the black better for a black phone?
Aside from that if you've used it, do you recommend it as a long-term prospect? If not what did you end up using?
Thanks
I've been trying to find one for mine. Sold out everywhere pretty much.
I had a couple with older devices and they held up well. Would expect the same with this.
mine holds up. ford service tech.
