Hello everyone!
I wanted to know if there's an armor case with magnetic charging cut-out?
Also have anybody tried Trident Case Aegis to see if it has magnetic charge port cut-out/working?
Thanks!
Bump...!

not exist, unless you yourself modify any case

Anything anyone's spotted yet?
I've found the Devilcase and the alumania, but I'm not convinced of them because they aren't full cases.
Not really a tough case in some aspects however the Ringke hybrid has a full TPU bumper with a hard clear plastic back, It has a charging port cut out (thin TPU band on the top edge of the port) and a magnetic port cut out but no Micro sd card slot cutout. This is the "revised" version so old stock may not have the magnetic port.
If your after a full on nokia strength case then your best bet is to purchase and existing one and bring out the hacksaw to make an opening for the magnetic port.

I've been looking or a case similar to the iPad smart cover with magnetic closure and came across this one http://www.amazon.com/Navitech-Rotating-Magnetic-Function-Transformer/dp/B007N5DPZM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1346185726&sr=8-12&keywords=tf101+magnetic+case
It says it has magnetic sleep/wake function, which I assume means that it just closes with a magnet as I'm sure they didn't put a magnet in like the diy smart ass covers.
Has anyone tried it? And if not can anyone recommend a good magnetic sleeve case?

will see as i ordered one. though i doubt it has smart cover ability.
Figured opening something for this would be useful for everyone. Being that this model has different dimensions from both the Z3 standard and Z2 itll need its own line of cases. Theres apparently a tough case mate on the way and some leather slip cases. Post up what you come across as you go.
I did some research and found out the cases for the Z2 L50h will work for Z3v since the dimensions of the phones are the same.
I've found no evidence to support that.
VZW website has 2 cases up so far. A silicone one and the usual hard case with holster and kickstand.
It appears that Verizon might be stocking a third case in the near future - If you go to the all accessories page (not the cases page) on the Verizon website and and filter by the z3v, there is also a Incipio DualPro for Experia Z3v in purple or black in the list, although it gives a 404 if you try to click on it.
It looks nicer then the other options, so I'm hoping it is released soon.
Update: I can now get to the details page and ad it to a cart, so maybe they are adding the listing this morning.
The incipio is out in stores. I got one when i picked up my phone. Its actually pretty nice.
Do you need to take the phone out of the case for charging wirelessly?
i have the cheapo black case, works fine charging wirelessly. it was like 19 bucks?
Both the incipio and silicone Verizon cases can be left on to charge wirelessly

That aint cheap, just to some standards. XD
I have the plain silicone case too but geez...it looks VERY plain. Wished the incipio one was in store when I got it at the time. :/
Do the z2 cases fit the z3v

Unfortunately no.
Your best ones available are pretty much the plain TPU case and the incipio dual from Verizon. I have the plain one, but it does pretty alright for what it does in giving me grip.
Everyone should contact Diztronic and ask them to make a TPU for the Z3v. I've always liked their TPU products.

I have the kickstand holster case and just use the shell. It looks good but the protection isn't the best. It covers the back glass but the top and bottom of the phone are exposed in the middle. Not bad though. Both this case and the plain TPU case I bought work with my Sony 5,000mah wireless portable charger (nice device btw) and the Chloe Qi charger.

They're not TPU cases, they're just plain silicone. I'm waiting for the TPU cases to come out
The Incipio case is the best one out right now.
i had post this on the other thread:
look like theres a new TPU case made from China that looks very interesting

There's an otter box defender on otter boxes site. Looks bulky.
I am using the Z2's Trident Aegis case on my Z3v. Fit is just about on point. The opening for the charging port/SIM card is a little off where I can't open the charging port cover to charge. I have to remove it from the case. The cutout where the earphone port is has a gap around the little flap that covers the actual port.
Other than those minor issues, I have been satisfied using this case until a more specific fit case rolls out.
I recently got a PMA / NFC sticker from eBay, and a Duracell Powermat for 2 devices, and the phone will charge fine without a case on it. However, it will not charge through my Spigen Slim Armor case.
Does anyone have any ideas on making it work with the case? Can I switch out the magnet on the charging sticker with something stronger or add something metallic / magnetic to the inside of the case? Perhaps cut or modify the case?
If none of the above, can anyone recommend a case (not folio / quick circle) that will work with PMA charging?
I have tried 2 cases with my LG Qi charger for d851, one of which was slim armor the other being a slim caseology and the charger wouldn't work through either of them. My Qi charger is now in a drawer waiting to be sold. I just bought a spare battery with cradle charger and swap out the battery on the fly...its much better. Wireless charging looks nice on paper but the feature isn't ready for primetime. In most scenarios its up to 2x slower than normal charging. I can't see any reason to favor it.
I run a d850 with a. Nikkon bumpercase and the back I installed PMA coil on and it works fine. It has its advantages

Any links to the case? I could not find it on Google.
How's the protection on it? I like the slim armor because it feels so sturdy.

I like silicone or tpu silicone (maybe thats same, bad in english) cases the best. Please recommend me some cases which can be ordered via ebay. And are there any cases like that which covers even USB port not only micro sd card port, only with cut out for magnetic charging with cable.

Wow a crystal clear case that has cut out for magnetic charging cable. Just like spigen crystal clear but 100 times better because that cut out. On amazon reviews said that some ringke fusion case came with magnetic charge cut out and some didn't so i will ask seller first on amazon or ebay.

Great case with magnetic charging opening but came scratched and with defect (used) from ebay even though seller said it's brand new waste of 12€.
I'm going to be using dbrands case w/skin there's no question there for me, so with that I decided to find a magnet that I can put on the back of the phone that will use magsafe accessories.
I found this, link and while I'm not fan of anker I know it's a good brand. I read the questions and reviews and it does work on samsung s22 so I assume it will work on the s23u as well. Now for my question, I need to find where the coil is in the s23u so I can stick the magnet in the best location. So far I found these pics (see attached) of a case designed for s23u that has the magsafe in the case and it claims it's location is perfect but can anyone tell me if that's true or a better guide or teardown where the coil is?
Spens don't like magnets. I would avoid that.

Then why did samsung launch this official magnetic gadget case for the s23u ultra that is clearlya magsafe ripoff?

Google it. One way to find out for sure...
I think the camera bump would interfere with anything you would attach to the magsafe ring?

There are MANY cases with it built-in so it should work on the back of the phone itself.

I've already got a case I'm going to use and that isn't changing otherwise I would have just bought a magsafe case.
Also I think I found the coil, I think. In the teardown skin for the s23u on dbrands site (which I believe is accurate). I think the side of the coil is where that one cable is curved where I drew the red arrow

Samsung gadget case is not Magnetic , it attaches accessories by some locking mechanism, & yes magnets interfere with Spen untill you gen a magnetic sheilded case like UAG or pitaka

How does the interference manifest? I have a basic Spigen clear rubber case with magsafe and have yet to experience any S-pen problem.

It's not the magsafe case that causes issues, it's when you attach certain Magsafe accessories that the issue arises.
I have 3 magsafe accessories using a Mous case and none of them seem to affect my s-pen. One of them is an Anker 633 powerbank and it still doesn't affect it even while charging from it.

I found this video and i think I can find a magnet and accessories that don't affect the spen pretty easily especially with Amazon's easy returns.
The matter of my original question still stands. How can I find the optimal place to put my magnet? Is there any teardown that shows the location of the coil in the s23u?

You can see where the charging coil is in Jerry's video:
It's basically dead center
Get whatever case you ideally want, attach ESR halolock ring to the back of the case and done. Very easy to align and attach.
The ring has the strongest connection amongst all rings and cases.
If you don't want to attach a halolock you could buy a case you like with a ring built into it from ESR, Spigen and a bunch of others.
The spen interference is real but it's not because of the ring or the case. It's when you attach a magsafe power bank above a certain magnetic strength and try to use the pen at the same time. Only in this setup will it skip line where the magnetism is strongest. Detach the power bank and pen works without issue.
