Are any cases compatible with the Samsung MHL 2.0 Adapter? I had to dremel my Spidgen out a bit to fit it in there and I know the otters wont fit it without modifications. I dont like modifying it, it seems a lot more flimsy now (and not quite as pretty)

After purchasing a few cheap cases on Ebay and having them break pretty quickly, I decided to go with a Otterbox case for my Atrix. Only problem is with a case like this it is impossible to use with the laptop dock. Does anyone know if there are adapters or cable extensions I can buy for the power and hdmi port, or am I stuck dismantling the case every time I need to use the dock? Thanks.
Hello,
Im lokking for the case that does it all. That you can use on a magnetic car mount and also on a wireless charger stand.
I bought these one, https://store.exelium.net/en/galaxy-s8/189-galaxy-s8-wireless-charging-case.html
And it does all of that perfectly, but the case it self i dont like it because it feels and is slippery on the hands.
Do you know of something similar? or have any recomendation?
Thanks.
I just bought this:

I can confirm that wireless charging works with the case on. I also just ordered the magnetic mount, just waiting on it to arrive.

I don't think any wireless charger will work through the little piece of metal needed for the magnetic stand/holder. If you find a way, please let me know.

The Pitaka case works with wireless charging and magnetic mount. I think the metal in the case is shaped like a ring which allows wireless charge to pass through.
Slightly off topic. Has anyone been able to find a good wireless charger for the car? Air vent chargers have unsightly cables in the car which I really tend to avoid. What I would ideally like is a wireless charger that is like a cup holder style, has a sticky pad on and is quick charge compatible.
I just dont get why there is a gap in the market for something like that.
Once again, wishlist:
1. Cup holder style wireless charger
2. Sticky pad so that the phone stays in place (Can consider magnetic as well, but will need a case with that)
3. Quick charge
4. Hide wires somewhere
I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.
I use Anker cables without issue

Everything fits here too with All of my different cables and adapters
Mine (1x local cheap store, 1x AliExpress with 90° connectors) work just fine. No issues here.
Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.
Aukey cables are fitting a little bit more tight (than the original one), but nothing to be concerned about. Better more tight that more loose.
I was on Amazon looking at car chargers today for my S8 and noticed that there were some magnetic ones with Qi built in to them. I one that was compatible with Galaxy S7 but didn't see the S8 as compatible. Could it work?
You'd better ask the seller to confirm.
I' ve been selling an air-cooling Qi wireless charging stand on AMZ, which works perfectly for S8. If you are interested, message me for a bonus code.
I'am using the mophie charge force magnetic desk charger, with Pitaka aramid magnetic case. not necessarily compatible. but work very well! Not cheap either.
I wanted to have wireless charging on my 3a XL to prevent wear and tear on the charging port. I charge once a day using USB cable and I realize if I will do this everyday there is a risk of damaging the charging port. Although it did not happen on my previous Android phones, i still wanted to be cautious as i like the 3a XL so much and planning to do upgrade after 3yrs or so.
I was able to get a Nilkin Qi Wireless charging receiver and Anker Qi charging pad. The receiver fits OK on my Poetic rugged armor case. I can now do wireless charging without hassle!
Cool that you got this working.
I will say that according to the breakdown guides that I saw on the 3a series, the USB port is actually modular. So if it did break for some reason (I agree with you that it is a pretty rare, but not unfathomable, thing to happen) it should be super simple to replace. No soldering needed. Just pull the old module out and replace with a new module. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3a+Teardown/123256
I wonder if those steel plates they sell, so that the phone will stick to magnetic mounts, would work if placed between the Qi charging adapter and the phone...?

It won't and you could risk a fire from the heat that gets pumped into the metal
