[Q] clear, matte case, 1 amp or 2.1 amp charger? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a slim, clear matte case. Any recommendations?
I bought this one, but its bulky and there are air bubbles on the clear part on the back. S line tpu gel case.
Is it OK to use a 2.1 amp car charger on my N4 vs a 1 amp? Where can I find some good quality USB cables along with a travel charger like the LG that came with the N4?

Case that covers ports that also works with QI charger?

Does one of these exist? I have a cheap TPU S-line case from ebay that I bought when the phone was first released. It works with the QI charger but it does not keep the dust out of the ports.
I bought two cheapies off ebay to test if something a little thicker would work with the QI charger and so far nothing does. Seems that any case that covers ports are thick and may not work with the QI charger.
BTW its the Energizer charger, not the official Google one.
Have you considered just getting a microusb port cover? http://www.moddiy.com/products/modDIY-Micro%2dUSB-Protective-Jack-Cover.html for example

I have but if a case exists that will work then I would like to give that a shot first. I notice the covers for the cases are snug fit so it wont allow dust in at all when a plug may leave room between it and the case. I work in a very dirty environment and would like to keep the phone itself as clean as possible.

Headphone Jack protector

I'm just wondering if any of you have any experience with headphone jack protectors?
I use bluetooth only and my headphone jack catches pocket lint and some dust from time to time, i want to prevent this but i dont want one of those flashy ones that stick out, i'd like to have it be super flush if possible.
I would also love to have something to cover the charging port when not in use? I currently use the stock flip case.
If you want it super-flush … how do you think you'll get this thing out then?
I'd be fine with it never coming out provided it's flush, I don't use wired anything. I purchased generic ones off of Amazon and will see how they are.

Looking for an embedded magnetic wireless charging case+mount

Never got into wireless charging on my S7. Always had a magnetic mount on the vent with a metal plate between the phone and the case. Now that I'm hooked on wireless charging, I'm on a similar setup but with a wide ring magnet between phone and case so it doesn't interfere with wireless charging. My one issue is that when the phone is flat on a desk, it rocks just a little (and I like a thin case). So what I'm looking for is a thin case, with an embedded magnet (so it's a flat bottom surface) and where the magnet is in a configuration where it doesn't interfere with wireless charging (whether it's a wide ring, or a few magnet points spaced out, etc.) I've thought about digging into my case as a DIY but not there yet Pitaka MagCase looks like it would so the trick but it hasn't been released yet. Any out there that I'm just not finding?
Thanks!
And, this is on an S9 plus.
Can you post pics of your setup? I'm looking for a magnetic wireless car charger that holds up via the vent.

Search on Amazon for "Magnetic Wireless Car Charger, ELEGIANT Fast Wireless Charging Car Mount Phone Holder". Looks like it's now out of stock but there's dozens just like them. I went with something inexpensive to make sure it worked. And it did- fast charged on the mount as well as the Samsung official desktop wireless charger. Although the swivel ball joint on the vent mount was a little flimsy. I placed the magnetic ring such that the top of it was about 1/4" below the bottom of the fingerprint sensor (I spent a lot of time trying to figure out exactly where the coils in the phone were; you can take a good guess by knowing that the desktop Sammy wireless charger woks with both the phone standing upright as well as on it's side and that it's got two coils).
Even though the ring is very thin, it still adds a slight bulge in the middle and makes it "wobble" a bit. I don't have the right shop equipment to shave a circular channel on the inside of the case to place the magnetic ring
Found one made by Nillkin. Have to use their own charging mount (which makes perfect sense as it uses four small magnets at four corners of the mount). Reviews aren't great, it's standard (not fast) charging, and the I like my side buttons uncovered.
Xvida makes one as well (a little bulkier than the Pitaka) but S8 is the most recent they support as of now.
hey guys,
you might wanna hold off getting the pitaka magmount, I received info from pitaka that the s9+ position of the wireless charging coil of S9 therefore the position of the built-in metal plate is different from other cases, they are still testing there new wireless charging mount, it will come out later.
I will be getting a review unit of the case later and I will let you know how I feel about the case. cheers guys.

I have the iOttie magnetic mount/quick charger in my car.
It worked really well with my S8 and note 8.
I put the small metal ring inside the case on my S9+ and it was very finicky.
Sometimes it would only charge (not fast charge) and other times it wouldn't charge at all.
I found that by placing the ring up higher near the camera, it maintained position to quick charge the phone and hold it securely.
The qi coil in the S9+ seems to be a bit closer to the camera than the other devices I've used.
I hope this helps.

Great- thanks- similar to my current setup- I'm just looking for a case where the ring is actually embedded in the case, so the back of the case is perfectly flat.
Looks like from another thread the S9+ MagCase has launched- not on Amazon yet but on the Pitaka site- would love to see a review to make sure it quick charges wirelessly (as opposed to not quick). Sounds like they had issues with magnet placement originally and that might affect it.
Nillkin makes one. It's on Amazon as well.

Yes- thank you- the Nillkin looks great- and a lot less expensive than the Pitaka- but the case has full edges that cover the buttons which I'm not a fan of.

switching from op8 to op8pro

got my op8pro and the tempered glass is on its way. im looking at wireless chargers for my house and car now. is there anything else i should look at? besides a better case than the clear softcase from oneplus
In my experience, Pitaka has a best case and car wireless charger. They also make home wireless charger but Oneplus has a quicker one, not a big price difference. Actually, I am using silicone case which comes with the phone over Pitaka case and its is perfect, like double layered case. Even wireless charger in car works.
Just check out the Case Mega thread in Accessories...
I've got the Mofi (it's like cloth on the back, really nice)
And the ringke camo ( can see the back of the phone colour through it)
Ringke has better protection, both cover the camera, Mofi just about.
A usb-c to hdmi or display port cable for low latency, gaming is superb on the pro, Dreamcast games run perfectly, solid 60fps Dead or alive 2 with two Xbox pads on your TV via your phone is just superb. Also the phone barely gets warm.
