case designs - Xperia Z2 Accessories

Hiya, haven't got the phone to put in it yet but recieved my case today (this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151261390...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 ), it looks ok but its got a cutout for charger door but not for magnetic charging pins.
Wondered if anyone knew of a case with just a cutout for the pins and none for the doors??
or one where all ports are covered? would prefer a gel type case

silicone case and standard dock

Fellow asteemed geeks,
How snug a fit is the Standard cradle? Will a silicone cover work with one without having to remove it?
If folks do not believe it will work, I'll skip the purchase of the cradle. I want a cover that just stays on 24*7.

Not unless the cover is "wafer-thin" in my experience.
There is an insert that is removable in each of the docks, but it doesn't give you enough room with most covers.
Sorry. I wish they had planned better ... say multiple inserts of differing thicknesses.
You can remove the standard dock insert which will give you room to dock the phone with a case. With the Body Glove Mirage (soft) and Incipio Feather, I can dock the phone without that top plate installed. Downside is that it looks tacky and looks to put a lot of stress on the charging port on the phone since the top plate supports the weight of the phone.
I ended up getting the 'Ruggedized Battery Cover plate' from Motorola. There is a thread around here that details how you can get Motorola to send you one for free, although with the Atrix going EOL, it might not still be available. With this adapter plate you can dock the phone with pretty much any case that is not overly bulky (ie OtterBox Defender). Try searching for the thread on the 'Ruggedized battery cover' to find the exact instructions and part numbers you need.

Samsung Flip Case with Wireless Charging [HACK]

I have the Offical Samsung Flip Case (like the S-View without the window), and also a wireless charger, but the flip case has no charging receiver.
I bought this ultrathin wireless receiver from Amazon -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Expower-Ultra-thin-Standard-Wireless-Receiver/dp/B00FWMN69I/
But now the receiver covers the contacts used by the flip case to tell the phone when case is closed so it sleeps, and to awake when the case is open.
The PCB is so thin I could easily poke a hole through with a needle, which meant I could also put a small wire through to allow outside contact so the flip-case can connect to the phone.
First I poked 2 holes just underneath the connectors of the GND and P3.
Then I placed some double-sided sticky tape over the area
And pushed some thin wire through the holes so they went through into the phone to make contact inside. I used a strand of solid CAT5 as it was what I had lieing around.
I then pushed the wire flat onto the tape and trimmed them both so they couldn't short each other
Then some aluminium foil accross the contact area. I first tried without the foil but I found it was a bit hit and miss whether the case made contact with the wire. With the foil it works every time.
Now I have a flip-case with wireless charging!

Uhhh wouldn't it make more sense to return your 60$ sview case and get the 80$ sview with qi charging case? I don't see why u would opt to do some junky have when u can get the official case thay offers the same functionality and isn't janky

Frist off, the official charging case is very thick compaired to the regular one. Second the wireless charging cases are hard to come by. Third this is XDA, is all about customization, hacking, and development. If you don't like it, don't go to that thread. Last of all, just by your use of the word "janky" I can tell you are an idiot. Please go flame some where else.

Doesn't this add a irregular hump on the back at the wireless ports? The Original samsung S-view case has two wireless pillars sticking out to fit in the wireless ports. You covered the ports with two wires, how is it not adding a little hump on the back?

Not that I can notice. It does make it more difficult to close the case but once closed I don't see any hump and still feels flat when laid on a surface.
Also the flip cases "pillars" are very thin compared to the ones on the official wireless charging cover.
You could always hammer the wire flat prior to inserting if you wanted.

Nice hack especially for those of us in the UK who have just managed to get a free standard Flip Case from Samsung.

I feel really stupid not being able to track down a definitive answer but, I have the Verizon Note 3 and the OEM "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S-View Flip Cover"... does this thing have wireless charging built-in? I see that there are contacts on the cover inside the back and the Note 3 itself has the contacts exposed, so it doesn't look at all like the pictures in OP.

Samsung offers 2 different S-View covers. One has Qi charging built-in, while the other one does not. The Qi S-View cover is not easy to find at the present time, while the standard S-View cover is readily available. Where did you purchase your S-View cover? The package will tell you which cover it is.
If you didn't personally purchase the cover or don't have the packaging that it came in, then post a pic showing the pins/contacts on the inside of the S-View cover you have. We should be able to tell you which one you have, and if it has Qi capabilities or not.

Thank you. I've definitely been looking for this info. I'm just a bit confused as to what you are contacting on the underside. You can't see that part. There are 3 little holes on the left side of the battery. Does your wire contact just the bottom one? Or does it act as a jumper and contact the middle one and the bottom one? I'm using a slightly different charging receiver. Thanks!

I don't see the Qi info on the cover or package, so I'm assuming not. Attaching a pic just in case.
If it's not a wireless charging back, what are the contacts for? NFC? (and if it's NFC, why doesn't the standard back need the same?)

Those contacts are part of a chip that tells the Phone what Kind of Cover is attached.
If you had a charging Cover there would be 3 contacts there plus 2 horizontal contacts higher and to the left for the NFC.

That's the non-wireless charging S-View case. I have the same thing (in white) and was able to mod it to make the S-View AND wireless charging to work.
To the OP, thank you for the aluminum foil idea!! That's the one part my hack was missing as everytime I removed the case it was hit or miss with the contacts lining up correctly.

The three contacts to the left of battery are:
1. [CHARGE]
2. [GROUND]
3. [DATA]
The [DATA] part is used by the phone to determine what type of case is attached. The wireless charger connects to 1 and 2, whilst the flip-case connects to 2 and 3. So the holes are in the bottom two and allow the flip case to be recognized by the phone.
The best way to do this is to just buy the Techmatte Qi receiver! It leaves the contacts open on both sides, so my official Samsung S-View case works perfectly without ANY modifications needed!! Highly recommend that everyone go that route!

A case with the charging dock connection cut out?

Just got my ultra today. I also got 2 cases delivered. Both of these cases neither one of them has a cutout for the charging dock ports. i have the dock and obviously want to use a case that i can use on the dock.
can anyone recommend a hard or tpu type case that will meet my needs? no idea why these cases wouldn't have the proper cutouts
I've just bought an Incipio Watson case which also doesn't have a cut-out for the magnetic connector.
I plan to spend two minutes this evening with a craft knife fixing the problem!

You could try the Nillkin fresh series. I didn't really like the plastic back but what i like is the screen cover and that it has a cutout for the magnetic charging port.
Unfortunately, just because a case has the cutout, doesn't mean it works. this is the one I've got and while it fits in the DK30 dock (with the bigger inlay), the problem is that the dock has the phone sitting at an angle and I can't get the magnet to "grip".
I tried my best modding the thing to fit, didn't work out. So good luck with yours, please report back if you've been lucky enough to find something that works.
I also use the magnetic charging port for charging. I found the following TPU case. I purchased one in smoke, and liked it so much I then purchased another one in black. Works great. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the info on the case, I have the same case that I bought more by luck than judgement when I bought my Z ultra.
Please could you let us know if the case works with:
A.) The official magnetic dock
B.) A magnetic charging cable
C.) Both of the above
Cheers,
Rob
Rob, this case works with the charging cable. I'm not sure if it works with the charging dock as I don't own one. I hope this is (somewhat) helpful.
Good luck,
Josh
Thanks Josh, I'm going to order a cable for my shiny new toy
Cheers,
Rob
After dropping my beautiful phone and getting the corner peeled I decided to look for this exact combo; a case with a charging dock connection cut out that works with a magnetic cable. As you guys already know the charging port flap becomes pretty flimsy after a while and I did not want to risk it breaking.
After much trial and error I found a combination that works.
This cable:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...agnetic-USB-cable-charger-for/1708094470.html
Works perfectly with this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NILLKIN-Ult...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1e945842a2
The Nillkin case itself is pretty good but I'm also pretty sure that this cable will work with other cases that have a similar cutout. The magnetic connection from the cable is not that strong but gets the job done.
Thanks for post a working combo

That is true, however there are quite a few posts regarding this charger in there.
Anyway I have the WCD-100 and it works well with my Cruzerlite cases. The Spigen slim armor is too thick and it charges very slow if at all. The same problem occurs with the Spigen ultra hybrid that I have. I would recommend a thin hard case or a TPU case. The qi standard is to charge from up to 7mm so you also have to account for the thickness of the charging stand and backplate. This leaves minimal room 3-4mm thickness for a case which isn't a lot.
I use slimpack case

I think that it will be big problem to use this charger. Because case have two parts.

Magnetic Car Mount - Mountek nGroove Snap 3

I used a magnetic mount with my Nexus 5 and loved it. I'm wondering how hard it would be to bend the magnet to work on the n6. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I just ordered one, should be here Wednesday. I'll be sure to report back!
Yeah just ordered one today also, can't go wrong with the current price. If it doesn't work will just sell/give it away on craigslist/friends.
Tried it with my old magnet mount, it holds ok with a case on holding the metal back plate between the case and the phone. But doesn't hold firm enough for me to chance it with the phone. But then again it's some generic magnet mount, not a mountek.
I just ordered this yesterday after returning the standard CD mount that uses clamps. The clamps were interfering with the buttons way to much, and I didn't like how off centered the weight was when clamping the phone on the bottom portion of the phone. This is definitely a fail in button placement for this application. Hopefully the magnetic mount will be stellar!

That mount looks like a disaster.... I can't post links, but type into amazon "maggrip car mount" and get that one. It's a lot neater
Metal
Not that easy to apply, looks nice. Camera piece to fake for my liking. Feels good, little sharp on the bottom side of edges when holding.
Just tested nGroove 3 with the caseology TPU case and it worked great! Phone locked on and was very secure.
However, I like showing off the nexus logo on the back and don't know if I want to keep the caseology TPU case (using the spigen ultra hybrid currently)... Does anyone have any recommendations on how to place these magnets/plates and show off the nexus logo? I could probably use the Rinke max and put the magents on the both sides of the logo but the case may be too thick.
I was also thinking about sticking some magnets/plates behind the back cover.. does anyone know if there is a warranty seal for the back cover? I looked at the teardown but didn't see anything about the warranty seal.
OP - Just received this mount from Amazon yesterday, and I have to say it's worth it! I have a Nissan Titan and the CD slot is in the perfect spot for a mount like this I also like that the mount doesn't grip the side of the phone and press up against the buttons. I bought it from the Amazon warehouse for $15 and the unit I received looked new. You do have to tighten down the CD slot insert to endure the phone doesn't sag when you place it on the bracket, but once its tight, the phone holds steady and secure on the magnetic steel plate.

Very interested in seeing how this worked. Any updates?
Works great.
I put the large tablet size piece that came with the stand in a case and the magnet does have some flexibility to it so it fits well in the slight curve of a N6 case.
The connection is strong and holds up going through bumps etc.
Worth the buy
I assume that if your using a magnetic holder with a steel plate attached to your phone or case, that you are not using a Qi charger. Wouldn't the steel plate would heat up when using wireless charging? I had some problems with my N5 with overheating if my phone was not in the correct place on my Qi charger, the metal in the phone used to attach the N5 to the official nexus charger would get hot.

I had some problems with my N5 with overheating if my phone was not in the correct place on my Qi charger, the metal in the phone used to attach the N5 to the official nexus charger would get hot.

I've been trying various magnet mounts and qi chargers hoping to find the right combination of the two. Unfortunately, in order to avoid blocking the qi coil you end up moving the magnet mount further up the back of the phone almost near the bottom of the "M" dimple. Placing a strong magnet near that part of the phone will trigger the screen shutting off "smart cover" style (coming back on again as soon you remove the magnet). I'm beginning to suspect that in order to really get everything (qi, nfc, magnet mount, with the screen on) working together right might require building something a bit more customized.
I personally am also using the mountek snap 3 mount and I have had no issues after affixing the tablet sized metal plate about 2/3 of the way down, ive ordered some extra magnets to improve the hold on the device so i dont have to worry about precisely placing the device on the Mount
