Make sure it has NFC.
Because, the battery has an inbuilt nfc adapter.

as standard it came with back, sides and the front, for the 4.99, more options, aids for applying easier, and faster delivering
I used to use dbrand but this is better

Yeah much better, since I live in the US it usually takes about a week when I chose faster shipping.
whats better for you? dbrand or xtreme?
i think xtreme, cheaper comes with front sides for no extra, quicker postage, more color options

Xtreme skins easy, I'm a sucker for blue brushed metal and dbrand just has two colors in that category. Their blue skins I don't like.

S6 case on S7 - It works!

I just bought my S7 today, and since I was playing anyway, I tried my Buddibox case from my S6 on it
Perfect fit!
I don't yet have a picture, as my phone is my camera, and I am not betting all cases will work this way. But, before you toss your old S6 case you have come to love, why not try it on?
I have a feeling hard cases wont fit due to the thickness difference, but im gonna order my fav quicksand case from the s6 and see if it fits.

Bottom mic has been moved as well so your S6 case is going to cover it muffling your voice for anyone you talk to.

S6 is on the right in this picture, notice the placement of the mic hole:
https://fs02.androidpit.info/userfi...ndroidPIT-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-vs-S6-87-w782.jpg
Looks like the top mic hole is moved a bit too...
I knew it had to be too good...
How much did it move? If you have an S6 case try it out and report back

Case with spot for pen?

Anyone know if this is a thing or will be a thing? I ordered both and really hoping someone will make something with a spot for the pen.

I am also really hoping for this. And since we'll be lucky to see this at all, I hope if it's made is has a kickstand option also.
Looking for the same.
Zero offerings on Aliexpress.
So sad that Huawei hasn't offered one themselves.
There is a case with a pen-holder on e-bay. A bit pricey, but worth it to me to be able to carry the pen with the phone.

Could you send me a few pics of the case with the phone and pen in it? How is it? Does it hold everything securely?
Thanks.

Nice. Thank you.

Appreciate the link.
Case with Pen Holder
Received my Momax case with pen holder. First thoughts:
1. Just a bit over 1 cm wider, so some shirt pockets will not hold the phone. We'll see about sports coats and suits.
2. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of magnets to keep the case closed.
3. Does turn on the screen when opened and off when closed.
4. Has the same information on the cover window as other cases with windows.
5. And, finally, holds the M-Pen securely and makes it easily accessible (in some ways easier than the Galaxy Note 8.
I'm leaving on the 14th for a consulting gig in which I'll use the 20 X extensively for taking notes. That will tell the tale for me as note-taking is my main use-case for getting this phone and relegating my Note 8 to a backup.

How much did you guys pay for the case? Has any alternatives come out?
I'm hoping for something with strong magnets

I paid right around $30US for mine. Should be here tomorrow. I'm anxious to get it and curious as to how much I'll like it.
I have yet to see any alternatives. Wish there were more.
Just got my Momax case today.
Observations:
The build quality is pretty good. The actual case part for the phone is very snug. The pen fits in very securely too.
I don't like the flap cover though. It does not magnetically stay closed and it feels kind of cheap. I'm actually thinking about using a razor blade to cut it off and just use the case as a normal case. I'm thinking I can glue the back sides together. Don't know yet.
I guess I'll give it a few days using the case as is for now.
Edit: I ended up cutting the front flap off and hot gluing the back flap down on the back of the case.

I've never been a fan of flip cover cases. The cover always gets in my way, especially with larger phones.
So far, I'm really liking the case without the cover. I wish it had a little bit more grip to it though.
Here are a few pics.

I wish there were more cases with a pen space but this seems to be the only one anywhere, it's weird.

Cycling mount/case

Does anyone have a good mount that they use that accepts the larger size of the Mate 20 Pro?
I am a road cyclist, so need something reasonably light + sturdy.
Hi, I've been using this. It is for 5.5", but it fits M20Pro just fine. Really great and durable. I don't have to be afraid of breaking some of its parts. I used to use some plastic holder and it breaks over some time. This is much more reliable.

Try sp-connect
got one of these, aluminium holders but not waterproof but very sturdy with pads that hold it in place https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Bicy...998&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985

Don't you ever worry it might not grip the phone enough? Going at speed a phone falling is generally a phone death sentence
maybe i'm late for the party but i highly suggest X-grip from ram mounts.
That's what i have in my motorcycle and even with a lot of offroading he never felt or got damage.
I can highly recommend GUB G-85 or G-81. It's cheap and really good.
I went to a bicycle shop and got a generic one. My buddy has rem mounts on his motorcycle and he highly recommends it.

A magnetic mount-friendly case?

Can anyone recommend me a magnetic mount-capable case that still allows for wireless charging, plz?
I previously had the Galaxy S7 edge and I loved that without a case, it allowed for qi charging but could still be mounted magnetically. Anyone know of any cases like this for the Mix3--maybe with a builtin metal plate that does not overlap over the wireless charging area?
Thanks!
It's not the answer to your question, but I tried it
I bought a magnet holder with Qi. The holder is a thin, large ring, which sticks to the case
Neither has the magnetic force sufficed to keep you relatively heavy Mix 3, nor has the wireless charge worked. My case is about 0.3mm thick. I sent everything back and bought a Qi charger. The weight pulls on both sides brackets that hold the mix 3 safely.
And the bracket also supports 10 watts of charge.

Oh! I didn't consider the weight but you make a good point. The mix3 is substantially heavier and magnetic mounting will probably be an issue.
I came across this case:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sli...r-Bank-Battery-Charging-Case/32957408759.html
It comes with an external power bank that affixes to the case magnetically. I figured I could use that feature to mount the phone to a magnetic car mount. But given your point about the weight, and because I don't really know about the polarity of the magnets on the case, I think your solution will probably work better.
Thanks

Also is 5v charger. Might be slower compared to 10v.
