I know that many of us here are looking for a desk type dock that actually will work if the Note has a thin case on it. Anyone know of any? I can't see having to take the case off and put it on every time i want to use the dock.
I just ordered this.

I've got a Momax iCase Pro on my Note, so we'll see how the dock works with it (if at all).
I ordered the same thing. Hopefully it works.

The Elago G4 slim case works fine with docks but has open top and bottom.

I'm liking the Momax so far. It's got a lip on the front, which I love, and the fit was ok. The phone is much more comfortable against my ear now, but I had to trim the inside of the case where it touches the power button. I think the international note had a little more inset on the power button, so this case was over compensating with a little bump there. Quick trim sorted it out.
Bringing this back on topic, I can say for a fact that this dock (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) which I bought prior to the Momax case, is not at all compatible. It is however a good fit without a case (not that that's any use to me now).
Curious about the doc that the OP is talking about. Definitely want to see more pics of docs with cases.
Just thought I should follow up on this now that I have the dock.
It fits great with the Momax case, and looks much better in person than I thought it would. Also the ebay seller was very good, they screwed up and sent me the wrong dock at first, but they caught the error, and shipped the right one within a day (and told me to keep the wrong dock when it got here, no charge).
I'll see if I can take a few pics in a bit.
Sorry to revive the thread, but could you put some pictures of the dock ?
I have a case mate Tough..I guess I'm screwed for now ?
I have one of these from Seidio, and it's GREAT. Small footprint, easy on, easy off. Works just fine with my mercury gel case.

D018 Desktop Dock Mount Cradle Charger For Samsung Galaxy Note i9220 GT-N7000
I'm starting this thread because I'm interested in finding covers and cases that attach to the phone as a replacement for the backplate, thus keeping it as trim as possible. The only one I've heard of is Samsung's own original covers, but I'm hoping there'll be others.

Sorry for being the third thread on this topic. I did a search, but didn't find anything specific on backplate replacemnt cases. Did find various on wallet and flip cases. Even if Samsung is taking forever, hopefully other manufacturers will jump in. But perhaps the backcover is patented?

I've been spending ages looking for the same thing. Definitely not a patent issue. There are literally hundreds of pages of various Note 3 covers on Amazon, many of which are replacement battery doors. Problem for me is that most are window cases claiming to be "S-View", none of which actually work with the s-view functionality. If I can't get a working S-View then I'd rather not have a window at all. I'm not sure about the official Samsung cover because it looks like it makes the phone much bigger by thickening the back to extend over the camera, and I want it slim as possible.
Best options I've seen so far look to be these:
http://www.amazon.com/Practical-COV...=1384427137&sr=8-53&keywords=n9000+flip+cover
There's also this:
http://www.amazon.com/Practical-COV...84428841&sr=1-200&keywords=n9000+battery+flip
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Cover-B...1384427417&sr=8-278&keywords=n9000+flip+cover
Final interesting one is this, which is the first 3rd party case I've seen which claims to properly support S-View. Looks pretty much identical to the Samsung case though:
http://www.amazon.com/YESOO-Leather...F8&qid=1384429365&sr=8-1&keywords=n9000+yesoo
Please let me know if you turn up anything else interesting, as it sounds like we both want the same type........

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
S-View support in the case would certainly be nice, but it is not a top priority. My priorities are:
1) Back cover (battery cover) replacement, not an outer attachement.
2) Some pockets for cards and bills, actually the outer front cover could come with a foldout for more cards and bills.
3) S-View support
I have an original Note and the case has two slits for cards and a long slit for bills, but it also comes with an outer attachement cradle, and that is a little too much bulk to be really comfortable. Since the Note 3 is thinner it would be real nice to utilize that for a better case experience this time around. Hence, I'm not that particular about price, although I believe the original Samsung S-View cover is waay overpriced, I have ordered one just to establish a base line for what is available out there.
I have started to encounter vendors that lets me use the NFC for payment, but lets face it, this will take at least a decade to take hold. In the meantime I still need to carry around some credit cards and bills. Some day I can hopefully start my car and open my doors with my Note 6.

I ordered and received a S-View case. The backplate is removed to attach the new case, it has two connectors that will allow you to use the S-View feature and charge it with wireless Qi chargers. There are no pockets for cards or bills, but the S-View window is a usable feature, it has two windows, swipe from right to left, the first shows time, date, weather and in my case a step counter, the other is for music, action memo and camera. The material is a leather like plastic that feels sturdy enough to withstand a smaller drop (not planning on testing that) and an added benefit is that the Note will fit in Samsung's multimedia dock with the covert attached.
Hopefully, third party vendors will come out with even more usable covers over time.

I browse a lot and post rarely, hoping that I can find the answer I'm looking for without having to create some kind of obnoxious repeat thread. I try to observe the rules in every capacity and I'm sorry if this frustrates any regular users in this forum. I just, for the life of me, can't find a guide to using a qi receiver sticker AND and an S View flip cover. I know that there has to be some manipulation or modding as far as the pins are concerned (i.e. which qi pins need used and which pins should be available to the S view case), but I need it to be spelled out plain as day so I can understand. I WANT both of these features and don't want to wait until god-knows-when for samsung to release that official cover option at a huge price point. I'm reasonably capable enough that with a guide, I think I could do it. I'm just not rich enough or adventurous enough to find out through trial and error which combination of pins it is. I've seen some people say it can't be done, and some saying it can as long as at least one specific pin is left for the S View case. Is this a lost cause?
Again, apologies if this bothers anybody. I'm just trying to get the most out of an already outstanding device. I'm using the model from Verizon if it makes a difference to how I should go about this. Happy Holidays to everyone, and thanks for posting some sweet black friday deals
I'm thinking the qi pad I'll get is this one : http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Stan...g-Receiver/dp/B00FTULQJU/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
It has great reviews and the setup seems idiot-proof. I'd like to use the official samsung S-View flip cover with it.
In any rate I feel like any case besides the S view flip coveres don't use the device to its full potential (though I definitely understand some people wanting more protective cases). What are your thoughts on that? Or this there another case you think is seriously a step up from the S View?
If this does violate any rules, let me know and I'll delete the thread. NOT trying to step on anyones' toes; I just don't know where else to turn to as XDA has always been my number one spot for questions about pretty much anything un-officially android.

The Note 3 has 3 pins, all you have to do is attach a copper wire (trimmed) to the middle one than attach the QI receiver which is going to take up the top and middle pin, than that extension you made of the middle pin is going to go over the QI receiver and you're going to connect that middle extension wire you made and bottom pin to the S-view cover. You have to also trim down the top pin of the S-view cover in order to keep it from extruding or bulging out. The QI receiver and the S-view cover are going to overlap each other on the middle pin.
Here are some diagrams i drew on my Note to help better explain it :
Here's a link i found on the N3 forum of someone who did the same thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47673578&postcount=4
hope that helps
If you want you can also make a tear in the QI receiver and just attach the copper wire directly to the positive side of the QI receiver instead of a reach around approach.
If you're planning on getting the official Samsung S-View cover, why not wait for the version with wireless charging built in? It's only $10 more and guaranteed to work.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-TN900BWESTA
from my information the s view also uses the two top pins, same as the qi receiver.
whiles we're on the subject there is a thread on this, just a bit of searching will get you there, no need to open a new thread.

Hey all, I have a 50% off (anything under $50) coupon from Samsung for registering my Note 3. It's been sitting in my inbox for a month and a half now. I've browsed the Samsung accessory shop, but nothing really jumped out at me.
Is there any 'must have' accessory?
If I don't find anything, I'll probably just give the code away here. No sense in wasting it.
Mods: I know this is a question, but it's a question specifically about accessories, so I figured it belongs here. But move it if you feel otherwise.
i bought an extra battery for $20. its nice to have plus authentic direct from samsung. there are cheaper ones but i don't like messing with 3rd party batteries.

Unfortunately I already have all of these, and have much better earphones. So I too have 2 50% discounts with me with no use. Note that it is valid only for 90 days from when you registered.
Unfortunately, both codes I have are just older than 90 days. I don't know if it still works, and I have no use for it. I just saw the expiry after I saw this thread.
I am posting the discount codes here, so anyone may try. I am not claiming them to work.

It will obviously interfere with wireless charging, but NFC still works in my testing; you just need to close the grip first. Overall, it's well-made, a big improvement over the old design. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes using a phone this size but has trouble using it one-handed.
Bought it from here if anyone is interested:

Is it possible to reapply to different surfaces if it's already been applied once?
For example, using it with one case then using it on a different case

You can purchase extra adhesive pads for just this purpose. I've used the same FlyGrip with 3 different phones. The website even has a video on how to remove the FlyGrip safely.
This thread is not meant for personal opinions or telling anyone to get a smaller phone,
so please stay on-topic.
So there is no curved version of the grip that will work with the n6 without a case?
QBKING77 has his on the phone itself in his motox vs nexus 6 comparison video
If the adhesive is strong enough I'm sure it could stick to anything.
Looks pretty interesting, not sure about $30 worth of interesting though. Once I find the right case, this may be the move to make. Kickstand + Comfort Grip is a nice combination.

If it were on Amazon I would consider it for $30 but if I buy it and it sucks then I'm out $30. I think its a little over priced for what you are getting.

Flygrip offers a 60 day money back guarantee.
$30 may seem a bit excessive, but you're paying for a sturdy, albeit plastic, component that frees your other hand while holding a large phone. I've had flygrips on my Notes 2 and 3, and they're worth it. I can hold the phone with confidence that i won't drop it. And they last. I used my same flygrip from the note 2 to the 3, using the extra supplied adhesive (comes with 2 adhesive stickers, and 2 pads to buffer fingers in the clip, and all with a free tpu case). I just ordered a new one yesterday afternoon, and just shipped out this morning. It seems like a gimmicky product, but once you use one, you'll never want to be without.

I understand where you are coming from but there are too many drawbacks right now:
-cost (high but justified if you ignore the other issues)
-Has to be fixed to a case so if you change cases a lot like me it's not practical
-qi charging won't work with it
Other than that its a great concept I would really like one that somehow can be removed and isn't as bulky. I still may buy one and just use it with one case for when I want a stand. I'm still not sure if it's right for me.

You do have some valid points. I tend to stick to one good case until i get my next phone. Cost isn't necessarily bad considering i don't go through multiple cases. I dont know much about QI charging. I was curious about that. Is there a range for wireless charging, or does it have to touch the charging pad directly to get any sort of charge?
What good is a wireless charger if it still has to be plugged into the wall???

I would give this a long in depth response but I'll keep it short. People like Qi charging because you don't plug your phone into a wall. I can literally drop my phone onto my charger and it chargers without being picky. I don't have to fumble with a cable when I'm tired or worry about my USB port wearing put. Yes it plugs into the wall because it needs power obviously but you don't actually plug your phone in just the charger. If you want true wireless charging they sell external batteries that can wireless charge your phone. I have one and use it frequently, in fact I made a OP reviewing it if you care to read it. If you haven't use wireless charging then I recommend that you try it. Its easy and more importantly convenient.

I have too many cases but I always do for every phone I buy. I have 12+ cases currently and I switch between them every day or week depending on how I feel.
The current qi standard can charge your phone withing 6-7mm from coil to coil. Meaning that there has to be <6-7mm between the plastic on your phone, case and charger for it to charge. I have 2 qi chargers and its much easier than plugging my phone in.

We always check the XDA forums. We like to chime in and discuss anyone's questions. We also invite you to contact us directly at [email protected].
We offer a 60 Day money back guarantee. There is NO RISK TO ANYONE to try Flygrip. Order it with the code "XDA" and receive free shipping. If for some reason, you do not feel Flygrip benefits you to warrant the price, then we are happy to send you a prepaid label to ship it back and get your full purchase price back. Honestly, if you don't like it, we don't want you to have to be stuck with it. We definitely feel if you use it properly, you will enjoy more benefits that you can just "imagine". We have had so few returns, that we are completely comfortable offering this. Amazon only offers 30 days for their returns. We offer a full 60 days.
We manufacture Flygrip in the USA, and have employed 18 people over the course of 2.5 years. We are proud to produce it here in NY, and be able to service our customers.
Please remember, Flygrip is a ONE TIME purchase. You can use it on your next device, and the device after that. Unlike buying a case for $30-60, you do not need to get a new one each time. BTW, we provide a free slim case with each Flygrip purchase. You DO NOT Need a big bulky case, you will not drop your phone and you can enjoy the thin profile that all these manufacturers are working hard to achieve. I use my Note 4 without a case, and if just feels great in the hand.
Regarding Qi wireless charging: Flygrip had a booth at GetgeekedNY last year, and Qi was there, and we tested the Flygrip out on their new version 1.2 version, which charges over an inch thick. So it will not be a problem. The current Qi is about 5-7mm distance which can be spotty, but depends on the phone and placement of the Flygrip (some of the Qi receivers in the phone are above where the Flygrip is typically installed, so you should be able to place it correctly). We will be doing a video soon on that and showing that wireless charging will work if you situate the charging station a certain way.
For those who switch cases a lot, here is a neat trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXluD3tlWLo
Please read the follow page and the video links to get an idea of the benefits, because really, you can not appreciate the Flygrip until you use it for yourself.

Feel free to ask any question at [email protected], we try to respond to the forum posts, but not as fast as direct to us.
I think I could live without the QI (Turbo charger is boss) but what about NFC? Can anyone confirm it still reads with the FlyGrip attached? Thanks.

With all due respect your product and concept is solid, but the price of your unit is excessive. I use to work for a plastic injection factory as an engineer, and the cost of your materials are extremely low. Your profit margins must be through the roof. Once of the products we made were Toyota car vents, which used more materials than the Flygrip, and cost 17 cents per unit. I understand you have R & D, Marketing cost, and you're probably a small company so you can't order as many products as you like to reduce your manufacturing cost, but your product should not cost more than a Supcase that offers a hybrid case and holster. I think your company would sell a lot more if you cost was reasonable. I would be happy to pay $15 per unit, and would order multiple units, but due to your cost being $30 I would never order one. Something to think about, and it's really cool you join XDA.
For those who like the idea but want something cheaper you have a couple alternatives to the flygrip. My personal favorite is the bunker ring, but check it out.
