I can't believe for any reason that all this would come cheaper than $10.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-S-Sha...ccessories&hash=item20c014ce8a#ht_3277wt_1396
Just wondering if anyone else had seen this...
It's true. I got same case for $2.95 and it's a great case. For the rest I can't comment. Anyway, you can't go wrong with this deal. China shipping baby...

It's true.. just some cheap stuff from China lol =P but ships from the US instead.
Purchased! I can't believe that price lol. Well to anyone who is interested, that is a deal to jump on.
I bought some stuff from itrimming years ago, yes cheap, I don't remember if I bought the radio transmitter, the case for my zune, charger, extended battery or what, but something I bought "broke" and something I bought "worked" so I should it was
What's a good rating on chargers for our phones battery? mAh rating etc. I'd like to get a car charger that won't quickcharge the battery but do the same "full" charge like an AC/USB charger
I just received my order from them. I got the same one execpt without the ac charger. It all works good. The case fits so well that the rockers are almost invisible on the sides. The clear shield is cut very accurate but a little small all the way around. Having not used any other shield that may be the way they all are cut. I don't work for them as everyone seems to point out.
I got one, I figured "tough case" incase I decide to go do or be somewhere where my phone might need it instead of my "pretty" SGP Neo Hybrid. + I needed a car charger. 8 bucks ain't bad.

Haha yeah I really wanted one of those cases but when I saw this deal i couldn't resist. I'll let everyone know how it fits etc. and if the accessories work once it all comes in. I ordered yesterday, shouldn't be too far away!
Ended up buying one myself. I'm sure the chargers will break sooner or later, but for the price . . . why not?
I have the same case, just got it on Friday. I've bought accesories many times from Itrimmings on e-bay and have never been dissapointed.
For that price i couldn't refuse....Nice case by the way doesn't add weight to the phone.
I have this case from itrimmings and LOVE IT.
I got the case and a different chargers in the full package today for 8 bucks it's alright but I don't feel comfortable dropping the phone in this case

I guess now it is too good to be true.
"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
pics anyone?
For the $8 bucks, I'll tell you this. . . Well worth the $$ I paid. I got an extra wall charger for work, extra USB cable for the computer/lappy, extra car charger for trips.
The case, VERY NICE for what it cost (I think with everything else, the case would come out to $4) I am having some trouble getting used to the power button being harder to press, but other then that I can't say anything bad about it.
All the holes fit perfectly, it *kinda* sticks in your pocket, so its hard to pull it out while driving if needed. Other then that, I'd have to say its good enough for my needs.
A cheap case is fine, but your phone could flame up or explode using the wrong battery or charger. I think someone died once because of a pocket explosion.
Nice case for a decent price. Like the looks of it, but can't stand the feel of TPU.
Can anyone comment on whether the car charger (and wall charger) works with i777? I got a generic car charger when I upgrade the phone, but when I plug the phone into it in the car, the battery level _drops_ instead of increases! That basically makes it impossible to use the phone as GPS...
Amazing deal. Thanks!!!!
Just bought it
So I recieved one of those ebay generic batteries with the Black and white leabel yesterday.
it was marked 2600 mAh rating.
I peeled back the label to see whats underneath. Much to my surprise there was no casing! Its just a thin plastic frame around the outside. The cell inside did not even take up all the space. there was 1/8" X 1" thick strip of foam along the length.
I'm not gonna rip open my OEM battery but damn...I'm sure the Samsung isnt like that!
So after a full charge, the battery life was pretty dismal. 2 hrs of light use, no games, brought it down to 60%. then i went to sleep. in the morning it dropped to 33%. from that point i went down to zero after 1 hr of web browsing, sitting on my desk.
i'll upload pics later
EDIT: just slapped in the 2nd fully charged battery. its down to 87%. i took like 3 photos and nothing else. FAIL
not all generic batteries are suck!
i bet your generic battery is lighter in weight?
Anker battery weight the same as oem samsung battery.
i havnt used oem samsung battery after i got my Anker batteries.
I should specify ebay ones. Yeah i ordered a pair of ankers and a charger this morning. I however did see some nice looking battery cases with 3500mAh ratings, kind of like an external sleeve/backing.
however this makes the phone even longer and thicker, but not as gross looking as the 5000mAh double sized batteries. sadly, they are in the $45 range
EDIT: like this

i wouldn't buy from here tho. seems sketchy

why should they not capitalize on people who look at only price and not quality? they sell crap because people buy it, and they know that you wont pay to ship it back to China for a refund. See they can ship to the US for nothing our postal service delivers it and we get the increased postal rates. Now if you purchased from a real American business you would have a better quality battery because American sellers cant get away with that crap.

Seller did refund half of the purchase price and told me to keep the batteries.

complain it is a piece of crap, not sure if you know you get what you pay for in this world. Continue to go cheap and you get cheap at some point you have to spend money for quality. Not saying the most expensive is the best, but do your research and buy the best bang for the buck vice the cheapest for the buck.

go look at this freaking loser review on amazon. he spent 14.99$ for 2 batteries and charger, that is like 5$ for each item. And he get pissed off cus the charger takes too long to charge compare to samsung charger.
that is like getting a kia and get pissed off cus it' not as smooth or as comfortable compare to Mercedes!

That, and his second battery was defective? Don't be overly biased here.
I have 2 Anker batteries and they seem comparable to my OEM's. No better, no worse. Hopefully in time they will still perform.
They aren't even broken in yet.
In the end, they will still suck, but hopefully not that bad. I wouldn't try to use your camera with flash on using an aftermarket battery though
EDIT: Also some gentleman was selling OEM note batteries, wall charger adapter, and a USB cable for 20$ shipping on eBay. I picked one up, it's perfect, and a steal of a deal.
well ive been trying to cylcle them a few time turning EVERYTHING on and maxing brightness etc.
still. felt like i opened a big bag of chips and finding it only half full. Im curious if others found the same thing in "better" batteries?
EDIT: I fully knew i wouldnt be getting the full rated mAh as i just wanted cheap, backup batteries. I've bought many of these before, but never opened them till now.
These batteries have since been retired. Do yourselves a favor, buy the "Anker" brand batteries. Theyare as good as oem and cheap too. Under $20 for two including a stand alone charger with usb output and 600mA.

NFC Compatible UPDATE at Bottom
This QI receiver pad works much better than the first one I tested. It's ability to work with the LG WCP-700 is a huge perk. The pad looks wider, it fits better, works with more pads, works through most cases with no issues etc.
Out of the two I've used so far, this one is better in every way... So far...
By request... This is the auction I purchased it from.

NFC Receiver UPDATE
Well I got really busy after I purchased a third receiver and didn't publish any information until now. Why did I purchase a third receiver? Well it was because of NFC. The second receiver is still the best with charging, but this one is a close second. I could not get NFC to work with the second receiver. This one will work through most cases.
eBay Link: I'm posting search results. Just match up the model with the one in the video. It's easier this way in case some of the auctions end.

OK, thanks for clarifying!
awesome video, I was looking at that receiver as well, have had good experience with that brand yipin or yieneng on m s4.
the biggest quest for me is does it bulge? the s4 there was a spot where the chips would fit in the notch for the microsd, but I dont see a notch on the note 3 so I wonder if they designed it to fit in some kind of recessed area?
Thanks in advance.
See the 3 pins where you connect the wireless receiver:
Top one is +5v.
Second one is Ground.
Thrid one is for S-View Cover (+) - (in case you wonder that the heck is that for)
In the event that you have a S-view Cover, you just have to use second as a common ground between the receiver and the S cover.

This receiver is pretty thin in everyway, as with all receiver, you will get the bulge, but you will not really notice it, would you rather have a receiver that has no bulge that does not work well or a receiver that has a slight bulge and does what you expect.
Can you still fit a case on with this installed? I have a hard case sedio with a kick stand and do not want to give it up.

have a newer one with NFC pins but not had time to do a video, will try to do one later tonight, think it should be the thinnest till date and charges fine at home.
getting the official one in a few days too and will review it when i get it. ordered a second official one from clove uk. my original order for the official one made in early october from mobilefun hit the wall from the scamsters at mobilefun. was repeatedly getting emails saying delivery delayed and whether i will accept alternate product (please note no mention of refund in any email), then a week or so ago saw on their website that it was in stock but still didnt get delivery and got another email saying further delays and saw on website that it was sold out!!!. so sent them email to send it or give refund after cancelling order. they replied with email saying order cancelled and that was nearly 2 weeks ago and yet to get refund. so have raised a claim at paypal and those scumbags havent yet responded to paypal claim and 8 days now since i have escalated this to a claim at paypal and mobilefun havent yet bothered to reply to my paypal claim. if dont get my refund will escalate it to fraud complaint with my credit card issuer against mobilefun. paid via credit card via paypal to mobilefun website in early october. just mentioning this here so that other people dont get scammed like i have been at mobilefun.

Thanks for your videos. I love wireless charging but on the note 3 it's been a bittersweet scenario...got the oem samsung charging back but there are no cases that fit that (at least that I've found) so I'm stuck choosing between a case and wireless at the moment. Your thread has given me some hope though about the possibility of using the original back with an insert that actually works and still be able to fit a case.
One question - does the phone with insert in & case on "rock" when it's on a flat surface? For example, when you have it flat on a desk/table/etc and you hit the home button on the note - does it "rock" toward you and then back after lifting your finger? This is so annoying to me and I wake the device with the home key a lot at work...it'd probably be a deal-breaker for me, but if you can share your insight I might avoid another bit of money wasted.
Thanks!
I think it looks nice, and made this phone a lot easier to handle. Figured I'd share:
http://imgur.com/a/nntYR
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.

If you need a USB C vehicle fast charger, fast charge battery pack and fast wireless charger, this bundle from Verizon is $99 and comes in 3 choices of colors for the fast wireless charging stand:

I bought this and the fast charge battery pack is very nice. It comes with a cable that has a micro USB plug and a USB C adapter that is hooked onto the cable by a loop so you can charge both micro USB and USB C devices. The color reminds me of the orchid gray S8, it's very premium looking and feeling. It has pass through charging too so you can both charge a device and the battery pack at the same time.
The fast wireless charging stand is great, it has a fan in it to help to dissipate heat.
The fast charge USB C vehicle charger has a coiled cable, which I really like for storing in my console, but I wish it came with a USB C to micro USB adapter so that it could be used to charge both types of device. You can buy USB C to micro USB adapters on amazon and ebay.

You could similar items on amazon for about $50 for all three. I usually stay away from bundles Verizon sells. Everything is cheaper on amazon.

Not of the same quality/design. The Samsung fast charging wireless charging stand has a fan in it that helps to keep the device cool while fast charging. I haven't seen any of the other brands have something like that.
The fast charging battery pack not only comes with a micro USB cord with a USB C adapter, it has a loop that makes it easy to carry. It is a very premium looking and feeling device. The color also goes well with the orchid gray S8. That may not matter to you, but I like things that look stylish.
The vehicle charger has a coiled cord, which again, is something that may not matter to you. I will only buy vehicle chargers with coiled cords as I find them so much less likely to get tangled up in my console. The only thing I would improve on is to have a USB C (female) to micro USB adapter included so that you could charge both types of devices. You can buy those on amazon or ebay.
You could get a 2 pack of the samsung (with fan) wireless charges from Woot:

Wireless Charger w/ Fan:

I have the first one. Been using it for a while since i had my S7 Edge.
As far as the battery pack ya the strap is a neat idea. But still much cheaper and better ones on the market. Personally I have one that can jump start cars if need be, has a flash light, and has the quick charge feature that was $50.
The coiled car charger is also good but since i have multiple devices (work phone, personal phone, and wifes phone) i have a multiple outlet quick car charger.

Thanks, the first one is not a stand though, I like the stands. The 2nd - 4th are 2 coil stands and if you read in the reviews, the reviewers say they won't charge the Note 5 in portrait position, which is a problem I had with the 3rd party chargers. The Samsung one works with my Note 5 in either portrait or landscape position. That won't matter to you if you don't have a Note 5, but I do and also I will likely be getting the Note 8 so it could be a problem for that device.

How big is that though? I want something portable and I like how attractive the Samsung one is too.
And not only can the Samsung battery pack fast charge your phone, it also has fast charge so it fast charges if you use the Samsung adaptive fast charge plug to charge it. And it can do passthrough charging and fast charge your phone while it is fast charging itself.

When you buy retail, especially from a phone provider, you're ALWAYS going to overpay for the same thing rather than when you buy from Amazon or somewhere online.

No, not at all. For Samsung OEM products, the Verizon bundle is better priced than anything you can get on Amazon. The person you were responding to is recommending generic products, some of which may be OK, but they aren't Samsung products and aren't as stylish. I have used plenty of the cheaper products sold by those manufacturers and lots had problems. Plus they are cheap looking. The Samsung products are nicer.
It may not matter to you what a wireless charging stand looks like in your home sitting out on a desk or table, but it matters to me. I have a very nice looking decor and the silver Samsung wireless charging stand looks premium, not like those cheap products you can buy off of Amazon.
This is a great deal for what you get. You can always buy cheaper generic products but you can't find a better deal on the Samsung charging stand and battery pack.

I'll just repeat what I wrote earlier. This is an atrocious price. You can do better for official samsung wireless chargers (2 for the price of less than 1 from verizon):

This is like people who buy stuff from bigbox retail stores like bestbuy. I had to walk a friend who bought $50 HDMI cable from PC Richard and Sons and was told the cable was needed because she had Verizon Fios and that was the only type of HDMI cable that would work with Verizon Fios. When I went back with this friend and asked the in-store "expert" who told her this in the first place, the woman looked at me and said, "oh, you work in computers, don't you?" I just smiled and made her take the cable back and give my friend her $50 + tax back.
The phone carriers sell overpriced accessories because a lot of the people who get their phones think that if they're already in the store, the "official" products must be better. There are a LOT of people who still don't comparison shop on the internet.
What Verizon is doing in this instance is price gouging of people who don't go comparison shopping. It's sad, but I see it all the time.

Nope, you are wrong for all of the reasons I said. And you continuing to compare cheap looking generic products just means you don't understand my point. Obviously, having cheap looking generic products isn't an issue for you. Well not everyone feels the same as you. I have a nice home, a nice car and a nice phone. I want nice accessories too.

LOL, yup, and everyone you know KNOWS you have all these things. LOL, the Woot deal is neither cheap nor generic. Those are from Samsung.
It's sad when people think that buying name-brand at full price is the "official" way to go. The rest of us will simply pay less and wonder why you end up in such debt. However, your nice car, your nice home, and nice phone will all make you nicely poor. I prefer to spend my money on real products that aren't sold at full price.

Not at all. I live within my means, I just have a lot of means. I am a very successful person.
You can buy a lot of cheap crap on Amazon, have at it. Life is short, I can afford nice things so I buy them. I still have plenty saved for retirement and I own my on home outright, no mortgage. Car is paid off too.
Regardless of how much money I have, this is a GOOD deal.

I'm sorry, but when you have boast about your "success" to justify spending too much on accessories does not work. Your "good deal" was a bad deal. Bundle deals are scams, much more when you buy at a retail store. No matter how much you make, if your a millionaire, middle class, or minimum wage, when it comes to money, shop smart and do your research.
Maybe it's just my phone, but the 2nd-Gen Samsung Wireless Fast Charger Stands (Last years model, not this years.. I have two different ones) do not properly charge my S8. It just constantly turns on and off every second or two. This happens no matter if the phone is positioned vertically or horizontally. Other wireless chargers that I have (non-samsung) work fine

I have last year's model in black and it works fine to fast charge my S8/S8+. I have this year's in silver and it too works fine to fast charge my S8/S8+. They have a 1 year warranty so I would hit up Samsung to get a replacement if it has been less than 1 year since your date of purchase.

You know I am sorry, Sorry you got such a bad deal. You can see NO ONE supported you on this "Great Deal" because it was not a deal. It was Verizon selling you over priced accessories to fulfill their accessories quota. A smart consumer would of seen through their commission driven lies and said no.
Oh yeah btw... the Samsung fast charge wireless stand is on sale for $25 LOL

I just unsubscribed to the thread but was notified that you had quoted me. Honestly, if he wants to pay full price for his accessories, it's what the carriers and the manufacturers love. Consumers who don't shop around and pay retail. Makes them really happy. I'll opt to make my wallet happy and the manufacturers/carriers unhappy.

Dude, GET A CLUE. The bundle is NOT full price. I know for some of you math is hard, but damn boy, this is just arithmetic.
