Case mate case

I am looking to buy the case mate pop case but don't want to wait 5 days if I order online. Do any actual stores that I can visit sell the case? Thanks

One thing to keep in mind with that case is the micro USB cable that comes with the phone doesn't fit with that case on. My store sells them, try a vzw premium retailer (not corporate)

Thank you, I am using a verizon charger that i bought so it fits. I currently have the white one but I prefer black because I am a guy.

I called all of the local private retailers and none if them had it. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Went to two verizon stores and bestbuy today... you'd think this phone hasn't been released yet. There is no sign of it. Same went for the wireless zone premium verizon retailer i bought it at. Needless to say there were no cases either.

I know, its horrible because of how much of a good phone this is.

Do you own the case? All my chargers work with the Pop case and ext battery except for one aftermarket usb cable, an older Verizon car charger is a snug fit but it actually guides it in perfectly.

FSRBIKER, the case fits with the extended battery/cover on LTE version?
could you post pics?

how the heck do you remove the case-mate pop?
It seems impossible to take off once put on.

I have the Lte version w/Vzw extended battery and have them installed on both my wife's and mine. She is out so no pics but not sure what you want to see, it just fits. Definetly makes the phone feel stronger as well. $16 at www.thecellguru.com

You may want to break your drill and punch a hole in the upper right back for the second microphone. That is what I ended up doing.
Case-mate should also have new cases with the hole opened by next month.

Universal Car Dock?

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?

Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

Sure. Just got it. Gonna try it out tonight.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks

I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I dig it. Its been on my dash since I bought it and its fallen off twice, which I think is due to the heat from being in direct sun light for months.

Let us know when you get it if it fits ok with that battery.

Which color did you order?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

It is a pretty snug fit with the verizon extended battery?

Thank you for a great find, I have been wanting a bumper case. Can we get a picture of the side with the volume buttons? Does it need to be modified at all for the volume buttons? I only ask because the case I have now is for the GSM version and I had to trim the inside with an emery board because it would turn down the volume by itself. But for five bucks it's not that big a deal.

You wont have anything to worry about in terms of the buttons aligning properly on your Galaxy Nexus.

So is the whole thing Tpu or is the outside hard plastic?

How is the case overall? Is it even giving any protection? It seems like it's not getting to the front at all. Does it add any bulk?

Looks like a nice case. And all for less than $5! In for the white one.
If you'd like to see it shown in a video, I believe this guy shows it at around 1:50 with I believe an extended battery. It's hard to tell since he doesn't talk and only gives thumbs up throughout the video. lol

The white portion is hard plastic.

my guess is that this case will fit for any battery since it leaves the battery cover exposed. The 3800mah battery will just stick out and not be covered. I don't know just my guess since I do not have the case. I think i will still buy one since it looks like it will fit anything.
Also the link says its for the i9250 but the op has it for the sch-i515? So I am assuming this is compatible for both cdma and gsm variants?

Great looking case,
Hopefully they ship to canada

Can the battery door be removed with the case on?

I hope you don't mind me posting pictures of the black one.
I have to say, I really like this case. I prefer this over my SGP Neo Hybrid case which I cut the back out of.
You can tell that this is a cheap $5 "chinese made" case because there are rough areas where you can see the injection points.
Also, right above the rear speaker, the cutout is too low exposing some of the housing of the phone itself and not just the battery door. It is very minimal and doesn't annoy me at all.
I can confirm that you CAN remove the battery door while having the bumper on for the GSM GNEX. I tested it with both the extended battery door and the original door. I guess there was a big enough difference in the Verizon one make this impossible.

I LOVE that case! I'm looking for a case for my 3800 extended battery. I need it to ship to Canada...
Let me know guys.
At least what I could search on Ebay for it?
Thanks

Dock + case

I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.

I found these two on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NFNQWM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6U7LGCOJZZG2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.

Let's talk about Docks.

I'm going to miss using my pogo dock for my gnex, but wireless charging sounds cool. Are there any good dock recommendations out there? I use my phone as a clock so something where it's also a "stand" is what I'm talking about. Please post up any links!

I have a nexus 4 orb charger that I actually bought for my nexus 7. It's pretty awesome but a bit expensive. It's angled so you can see the screen but grips my tablet really well.
https://play.google.com/store/devic...ess_Charger?id=nexus_4_wireless_charger&hl=en
There's also a cheap knock-off version that I bought (it doesn't say nexus on it) to keep at work.
http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html
It doesn't have that magnet-like hold on my N7 that the real one has but it might be OK for a phone.
But I would wait for this one...
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/

I wonder what the charging time of the new pad will be? Kinda like the look and idea but 4hr charge? Ha. I heard Sony is making one (or working on one) that sits the time in half but it probably won't be out till 2015

not the wireless dock, but if you guys remember samsung desk dock for infuse 4G, nexus 4 was kinda loose on that dock. Since the N5 is a bit wider, i hope it will fit on it perfectly!!!
Fingers crossed :good::good::good: :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Does anyone has the infuse 4G dock?

I like the orb thing, but I actually might just buy that nexus brand pad and maybe build some kind of dock for it.

This won't prop the phone up, but you could probably find a way.
I've been using it for about 2 months, works great, makes a quiet noise when connecting, works will all my cases.

It's not much bigger than a Galaxy Note. Funny, I actually used it to stretch out a leather pouch for my gNote.

FWIW I just bought the Nokia QI charger (DT-900) from AT&Ts website - $24.50 w/free shipping.
I read a review that went over the Nexus (old version), LG and Nokia one and chose the Nokia one as the winner... so... yeah.

Ha ha! I am in the exact same boat as you! I've been using the Infuse dock for my Gnex and am cautiously optimistic for the "fit" with my freshly-ordered N5! I don't mind it being a little loose ... Just hope it's not too snug.
(Wait... Did I really say that ^ ?)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Let us know if that works!!
I've been think more about the wireless charging dock and I don't see a practical way it will work. From my research, people say their phones barely charge, and sometime discharge when day dreaming on a wireless charging pad. So for me, not being able to use the dock for day dreaming a clock defeats the whole purpose of having a dock. Wish it just had pogo pins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I use the orb for my n4 and the Nokia dt-910 for my n7. my n7 daydreams as my bedside click and it charges just fine. the 910 is a bit nicer than the orb imo, but the n4 had issues with it so hopefully the n5 is OK. it works perfectly with my n7, and I'd recommend either

I bought a Kidigi universal dock only to discover that the micro USB socket on the phone is oriented differently than most phones. It's back to front!
It looks like Kidigi has some new docks coming out, including this one for the Nexus 5:
