Looking for two things...
1. I want to use my tablet as an alarm clock. Can somebody suggest me a dock or a stand that I can get off of Amazon that will charge the tablet as well as keep it standing up (landscape)?
2. I need a portfolio case, not expensive off of Amazon as well. Suggestions?
I purchased a cheap portfolio case of amazon, it's much better then the riot brand one I already had, and at 1/4 the price, it also came with a screen protector (which I haven't installed yet) and an hdmi cable. all for $15. It has the cutout for the dock.
Also Acer does sell a dock but it does not charge from the dock. Your search might just be the case I have acres portfolio case and it pretty good.

Kind of a big variable. I am looking for specifics that people have had luck with.
Bump...
Have you looked through Amazon and read the review of products?
Have you gone through this forum and looked at the reviews people have posted?
You could just get a case that stands well in landscape and plug your tablet in... you would kill two birds with one stone.
It seems like you are expecting people to come here and tell you what to buy, and I just don't think that will happen. If you have gone through all the review threads here, you should have a good idea of what cases people like and if you can narrow it down to a few I am sure people would be able to give you their opinion of one over the other.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n...=acer+a500&ie=UTF8&qid=1330355343&rnid=541966 - There are all the accessories Amazon has for the A500.
Anybody have luck with this at all?

rooCase FTW!
The rooCase is a badass case, I have it, it has velcro on the bottom so you can adjust the angle to your needs, and it even has magnets on the top of the lid, it´s pretty awesome for $15, seriously. Tablet won´t slip and you get access to both sides without trouble. The only but is that you have to take it out of the casse to get to the microsd slot (which for me is not a big deal, seriously).
Plus it´s leather!

The BEST case for the A500.

I bought a Acer brand folio case and its pretty nice but if you use zagg screen protector It doesn't work that well since its kinda sticky film but.. The folio case is perfect for any one that wants a dock feel plus cheep!

Does anyone know if the Pro-Fit SII/SIII car dock would work with the Nexus 4? Looks like it could, but I am not sure since I don't have an SIIi to compare with. It also has micro USB charging capabilities. Here is the link:
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/galaxy.html.
I already have the VSM installed in my truck
It will probably work just fine. The Nexus 4 is just slightly smaller than the S3, so if anything you might need to put a case on it to give it the added thickness to fit snugly.

or, maybe the bumper would work to add more thickness.
Cool, I may just have to order one. I wish LG would come out with an official N4 car dock that automatically launched car mode like my Atrix 4G does, But there are apps that can do that as well.
The Galaxy S3 is actually slightly thinner than the Nexus 4, but slightly wider. So I would be surprised if this fit very well. Personally, I'd wait for something that includes wireless charging if you're going to spend $40+ on a dock.
I am concerned with this case I ordered because there is no speaker slot cut out of the back.

The case seems solid besides the no speaker slot. What do you guys think?

Good idea but how? And why should you really have to? IMHO this is by far the best case for defense on the N4 it looks cool too but idk I feel like I shouldn't have to mod it for it to be efficient.

could you please post pics and maybe make a review too please?
here are the pics
there u can see the speaker hole, i thin they r manufacturing them and they made that change beacause it was a big fail....im not able to do a review because i dont have it yet......so go on anorder this beacause i think it is the best case for our phones...imo
They updated the product description and removed the negative review --
We noticed the feedback left by someone about the picture for this listing. Please note that the picture has been updated to accurately reflects our case design. The case is designed to be a perfect fit for Google LG Nexus 4 with all the cutouts matching perfectly with Nexus 4. Check out the overwhelming positive reviews we have received for our same design Galaxy S3 case, ASIN B005ZG04Q4! It is hard to go wrong with this one! Specially at this killer price!!

So there you have it folks - speaker cut-out and all. I got this case design for my dad's Nokia 710 and it looks very sturdy, hopefully same story here. Not unboxing my N4 until my case arrives. :laugh: Shame that Incipio isn't making cases for this phone (yet). I'm fantastically happy with my Incipio case for my GNex (and GS2).
Been looking for something like this for quite sometime but couldn't find it anywhere, hence posting here.

http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-air-iPhone-4-4S-battery-case-p/1145_jpa-ip4-blk.htm
Any idea where can I find one for N4?
I've been thinking the same thing myself. My only concern is that as the iPhone is so widely available that the accessories will be made for it, but will a company make accessories for a platform with such a wide range of devices?
These r available for Samsung phones too, since they r popular as well. But then again, so is N4.. I just hope we get such a case. I used to carry one with 4s and it was really very handy, compared to portable battery packs.
Charging Case
I have never seen a case like this before. I have been waiting for a hardback card carrying case. But if something like this became available I would defiantly get this instead.
I liked the rugged protection of the PRO case and how they redirect the speaker to the front of the phone. So annoying holding your hand against the back of your phone to try and hear things better
These types of cases are notorious for breaking your USB port in your phone. However, I'd LOVE to have a Qi version of one of these things. Then it shouldn't add a significant amount of height to your phone, mostly just thickness as expected.
I have used such a case for 4s for over a year.. I surely stopped working after that but it was for $ 20 only so u cannot complain really.

Here's one I saw in another thread. It's bulky and expensive imo. I emailed them to ask if they could make one for half the size and battery for half the price. Well see. On a side note I think these kind of companies should add usb slots to easily add hdd and stuff .

They responded and apparently they already have a smaller version. It's still too pricey for the use I personally would get out of it. Anyone else interested? Has usb port built in to.

Hi-
We've recently added the USB power out port on selected versions of our chargers - primarily the thinner lighter versions. You can charge any devices up to 2A. The Nexus version we've made in a 1250 & 2500mah slim (15mm) version - besides the standard 5000mah version which is 21mm thick. The thinner versions are much lighter as well - less than 1/2 the weight.
What are you looking for in terms of features/price?
Here are the Nexus 4 versions:
custompowersolar.com - produtcs - LG
We make the cases using 3D printing, so can be easily customized. You can get a full color image printed on the case with our Sculpteo partner. Devlivery time is typically 5-10 days depending on options - many units we have in stock.
We also make versions for iphone5 in 1500mah and 5000mah, Galaxy S3, HTC DNA, iphone 4/4s, iPad and iPad Mini.
All models also can be purchased with a camera/tripod mount - 1/4-20 screw holes on the side & bottom for easy attachment to a tripod.
The X Bracket allows you to mount any smartphone to a tripod - we also have a ball swivel, bike mount, and hang glider mount.
If you have something special you want, contact us - we're having too much fun designing and building products with 3D printers.
Any one have experience with these cases I'm thinking about trying one

I've seen lot's of great recommendations for Car Docks for the Nexus 4 without the bumper, and even then most of them don't have USB to dock and go, so I wanted to ask, does anyone know of a car dock that (like the cheap infuse dock) has the USB plug and also fits the Nexus 4 with the bumper on?
Thanks!
Brodit/Proclip have a dock for Nexus 4 with official bumper. It's pricey, but I use it and it's perfect.

Seconded. It's perfect. I actually got a an adjustable one which allows to me to use different bumpers or go naked and still have a secure hold. Strongly recommended.
Hello,
I'm using that one. That's a very flexible car dock to use different phones in diffterent cars. I used the HTC HD2 (naked and also with bumper), HTC Desire HD (naked and also with bumper), Galaxy Nexus (incl. flip case) and the Nexus 4 (naked and Ringke Fusion case) in that car dock. I'm really satisfied using that car dock for 2 years now.
Maybe this one is similar and the Nexus 4 incl. bumper should fit.

iOttie easy view $17 through amazon.
This doesn't have the USB as part of it but it's a great solution to those of us that change phones and/or cases every now and then. I've used it so far with my Vibe, Sensation, GS3, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 all with and without cases. It's adjustable but looks fantastic even if it is overly priced. Great permanent solution IMHO.
I ordered one of these as looks pretty bad ass

As far as I know I am yup I think it looks bad ass, really small and does exactly what I need.
This is the one I use:

Just slide the phone, complete with the bumper, into it and the charger lines up perfectly.

Jumped on this. I fly a lot and the stand function got me. I have to give up USB I guess, but this is universal, which is nice
Jumped on the airframe as well, ultra portable

Sorry, the one I'm using doesn't have integrated USB. Only the models strictly built for the Nexus 4 have a dock.
This is what I have: http://www.proclipusa.com/store/pro...le-holder-for-devices-with-a-case-246824.aspx
It has a range of 6mm - 10mm depth. The phone's depth is 9.1mm. With my Poetic Borderline Bumper Case I measured 11mm, however it still fits perfectly.
This is with the integrated dock, but only works with the N4 + OEM Bumper: http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512488-19162.aspx
Good luck on your hunt!
I have the iOttie Easy View.
NX4 is an ugly abbreviation.

I'm looking for something like this and it looks nice.
Thank you
I have the Kropsson Aero but not the N800, which has integrated usb charging and other ports as well as a led lighting IIRC. A tad expensive and not portable like the Airframe. Also a little more expensive but well built. It ships from Korea, it took 3 weeks for my item to come in from there to the USA. Just food for thought.
I initially dismissed it because based on the size, it may not fit. But if it did fit, there wouldn't be a pass through for the USB on the bottom claw. But looking at the pics, there seems to be an opening. Maybe whoever wants to buy one, email the seller to ensure it can fit?
