Technically, the LG charging orb functions with the official bumper, but in my experience my N4 slides off the orb with or without the bumper on it after working fine out of the box for about the first week. This is without a screen protector on the glass back.
I think what you might be looking for is the upcoming TYLT VU charger. It doesn't rely on friction to hold the device at an angle, and the bumper isn't going to interfere with the wireless charging circuitry.

That looks awesome. I'm looking for a more immediate solution. I might just have to go the DIY route using a plain ol' stand and micro USB charger.

What are the four contact points on the bottom

left side of the N7 for? I assume they are for charging, but I wasn't aware there was any kind of dock that would use these available for the N7. Thanks.
Those are for NFC.

They're not for NFC and will indeed be used for docks - most likely carrying power and sound.

Uhhhh... No. NFC receiver is on the back under where it says "Nexus".
The pogo pins on the side are for a future dock accessory, similar to the Galaxy Nexus.
Before I even saw this I thought it would be for a dock.
The pogos pins are designed for a dock that should let you plug speaker and a charger

[Q] Cheap charging dock from DX? (Galaxy Nexus model?)

What up!
I was thinking about getting a charging dock for my Nexus 4 for my desk, and I don't feel like paying a lot of money for it as I have the charging orb on its way soon. I was thinking about getting a cheap one from DealExtreme, but they have none for the Nexus 4.
So do you think we could fit our device into a dock for the Galaxy Nexus, or maybe a flat one like the Note dock?
I was thinking this one: http://dx.com/p/portable-charging-d...e-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-black-116667
Otherwise there is a lot of other docks here, what do you think?

Have you used any other docks with our device?
interesting... I would like to know too ^^
Exactly, I don't think the two phones has the same dimensions around the corners though, so I'm not sure if it would fit

has anyone tried these docks with a case? the infuse dock is perfect if it could only fit with my case on.
I have the Galaxy Nexus dock and the Nexus 4 doesn't fit. Its too wide :/

[Q] A good car holder for the Nexus

Hi,
I'm looking for a good car mount for my device. I need to be able to attach it the the AC vent and to rotate it 360 degrees.
After searching a lot I found:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxmo-Car-M...1731?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3eaaae93
I found many others of course, but they are cheap and they don't seem to be good quality. For example, this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Air-Ven...6215?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3e515577
I want your opinion, do you think anyone of them is good?
Also, I know of clingo:
http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-vent-mount
This basically holds your phone with some kind magnet (don't think its really a magnet, don't know what it is), but I'm afraid it will somehow ruin the back of my phone (even though I put a case on, I'm very very fanatic about my Nexus. Very).
Is there anyone here who has ever tried it and can give me an opinion?
Thanks!
Anyone?

I am totaly happy with my brodit holder.It is a car specifc car mount which combines with a device specific clip. I bought the mount once and now I am with my 3rd device changing only the clip and its perfect.
What do you mean changing the clip? And can this holder hold the Nexus even when it has a case? I'm using the rinkge fusion.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The holder has two components. One, the holder, attaches to the car, different models for different cars or even the place in your car you want to mount it.And the other, the clip, is specific to the device you have, i.e different devices different clips. So if you change your device you just have to buy a new clip not the whole set.
And No saddly but no, you can't use the Nexus 4 or any other device while in a case.
i use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mountek-iPh...2334?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item232506ddbe
i don't use my CD player because i use my aux in from my phone
plus, when i had a window-mount for my nexus s, on very hot or very cold days it would fall off the window... and i'm not willing to see my nexus 4 fall off the window and explode on impact
Strra can I use it with a case on the nexus?
that's very important to me

Hi,
I just bought the item I posted in the OP:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxmo-Car-M...1731?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3eaaae93
Is it possible I would have problems with this if the Nexus is in a case?
Thanks!
Try this one. It's very solid and easy to use.

yeah, it's plenty big enough to hold the nexus with a case. i use it with my bumper with no issues. i believe it says it's even big enough to hold a note2 with a case, if that gives you any idea

Looking for A leather Belt Clip/Holster for Nexus 4 with RINGKE FUSION

Bought a N4 and generic leatherette holster with belt clip. it worked fine until I got a RINGKE FUSION cover.
It will not fit. Either I need a little wider holster or a new cover. Was thinking of getting a Silicone cover ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Gary

Edit * OK so I lining the inside with a old mouse pad to thicken the inside so it will fit snugly so will report tomorrow if it works
Edit 2* OK so it worked I will try and get some pics up but now my phone fits perfect in the case ^__^ with a lil DiY and determination lol

Looking for a case

I'm looking for a case that doesn't get warm from the Nexus 4s battery back and one that can work with wireless charging. Can any of the wallet cases work?
I have the ringke fusion. No heating issues. Saw review videos on YouTube and works with wireless charging
