At the request of a member on the Oppo Forums I am going to share my video review of the Oppo Easy Cover Case Review. I got one of these free with the first batch of Find 5 orders and it is a decent case and choice for your new Find 5. It is a cover case with kickstand functionality and decent build quality. Let me know what you think and if you will buy one.

nice review man !
To bad they are not being sold anymore...
Thanks for the awesome vid! I have one request, hoping that you can fulfill. Can you throw on Nova Launcher and make a video of it? I want to see what it looks like on this phone as i am on the fence for purchasing it. Thanks!!
Very nice video,again.
Is that the same as this one ?

At the beginn7ng I liked it very much, but I got annoyed very fast because the leather is not very hany when u use the phone, it just doesnt fit very properly in your hand....also the plastic cover broke on two sides without dropping it, so I would not recommend that case....I got meifeng sandcase now and I am satisfied with that one...

This cover is back in stock on oppostyle, I find it a bit to expensive. ( including delivery costs)
Does anyone know if the flip-open-to-wake function also works with non-stock ROMS? In other words: is it a hardware- or software feature?

Good question. I'm wondering where the magnetic sensor is. (If it's using the proximity sensor, this "feature" is going to eat a bit of battery...)
The Nexus 7 mag sensor did not require any modifications (although maybe there's an overlay setting somewhere...) - if this is prox-sensor based, it'll be much less likely to be integrated in CM (since something like that would be a battery hog...)
Edit: grouper has a lidControlsSleep category. If I can confirm this is done by magnetic sensor I'll flip that on in CM10.1

I just did a quick test with a small magnet. The sensor seems to be located between the front-facing camera and the front-speaker. It switched the screen on, and I'm on the latest CM 10.1 build which you're working on.
So no need for extra stuf, works OOTB Now to find an affordable case with a magnet in it.

Odd, I thought that feature was disabled by default. Also, the magnet I have didn't trigger it, however, it is a ****ty fridge magnet, so I need to find a better one and re-test.
I Know the flip cover wont work on CM11 note 3 (I have the original black wallet flip cover). But I have some questions about it:
- As far as I know the flip cover wont work on cm(11) for note 1 and 2 also, why why is this not built in cm?
- Has anybody got it to work on cm11 (using the original sensor in the flip cover, not the proximity sensor)
- can i expect it being build in in the future?
I really liked that when I opent my cover the screen went on so I miss it.
One of the reasons why I bought the note is the cover that really feels like it's part of the phone
Sorry for my bad english!
It doesn't work due to it being a Samsung mod.
Won't work using the original sensor, only proximity.
I wouldn't expect it to be implemented, however it *may* and that's a BIG may.
Yes, I was afraid of that. Its just a shame that a nice feature like that is lost
the other Samsung features like multi window and hand gestures are just stupid and i can do without them. And i am glad the s-pen still works (only no Samsung note app but i have papyrus)
The flip cover is just a shame
Use GMD_Spen for pen features, it's a great alternative :good:

There's actually an ongoing project to support the original sensor of the s-view and flip wallet case. It's called Hall Monitor.

I also tried GMD Spen - it's a good piece of software but for some reason it was not playing well with CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy installed, therefore I had to uninstall it.
Some Spen gestures are natively supported by CM11 (under Language & Input > Stylus gestures) and CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy offer a set of useful extra features.
Both CM Spen Add-on and Note Buddy are available from the Play Store.
Try using tasker.
When the magnetic sensor reaches a certain level determined by the magnet in case screen turns on.
I used to use this method on my s4 to detect a magnet in my car dock and activate Bluetooth and start playing music.
If you want I can try and make you an app using tasker?
Just tested Hall Monitor on my Samsung Mega 6.3 running RR Rom, and so far so good.
Info:
Original note 3 cover works with cm12.1.
I open the cover and the phone awakes.
Didn't found a cover app yet....

Anyone knows about development revival of HallMonitor? Last version (0.4.2 from 22 Jul 2014) doesn't support CM12.(1) (see issue #52 on HallMonitor's GitHub page)
Let me know if you have any questions on it. I'll have some accessory reviews etc in the next few days!

How are the preinstalled widgets? LG seemed to hype up its calendar.
How much can you customize the nav buttons? I remember the G3 having different button visual styles in addition to being able to rearrange the buttons.
How much other customization can you do? Things like the app drawer, themes, etc.
Digging around in settings what can you find that LG isn't pushing as hard??
Do you have a comprehensive list of all the preinstalled apps, from LG, T-Mobile, and others?

Almost all these questions are answered in the video
on your list ...
First, is this pre-production sample shipping with a locked bootloader? (T Mob was the only US variant unlocked with the G3)
Second, what is useable as a screen protector?

But I chose those questions only after watching the video. You mentioned most of those, but I was asking for more detail on them than was provided in the video.
I'd love to see it side by side to a G2. I love the size of the G2. A coworker had a G3 and I don't know about 1 handed use. Another coworker has a S5. Either would work. I am trying to get a rough visual.
How does the leather feel? I know it's real leather, but is it a stiffer or softer leather?
I thought the G4 doesn't have wireless built-in since you have to buy a separate case to use it. (or even a receiver you can plop on top of the battery, which is how I can use wireless charging on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Though, no idea, if the G4 will have that option.) Everywhere that I've seen specs for it say that it doesn't come with that out of the box.
How is the user experience? I remember trying out the G3 and I didn't like how the experience was. It seemed cluttered to me, which isn't say much since Samsung's Touchwiz can be the same way, but I thought it was fine on the S3, compared to the S4 and S5, which I didn't like it as much. Did LG improve on their UI from the G3 to G4?
What are your thoughts on the camera? I know LG hyped that camera SOO much, so I need to see some real-world pics and such. On paper, it sounds great, but curious how it actually performs.

If the G3 being able to add wireless charging with the quickwindow case meant it had the pins that allowed a wireless charging sticker to be added underneath the plastic back, I'm guessing the fact that the G4 has a quickwindow case with wireless charging means it's only a matter of time before someone makes a wireless charging sticker for the G4.

LG World has tons of free themes, fonts etc. You can still change the soft keys like the G3, also has the option for white or black background.
I can get you a list of the apps, if you pause the video on that part you can see them all. It's 9 T-Mobile apps, plus most Google apps and that's it.

I don't personally much like the leather, it's not hard or soft; can't really explain it. It feels nice, just not my cup of tea. I might check out the black leather back. But I did like the grayish one with diamond pattern.
The G4 has wireless charging, but I think you need to buy the back for it like I had to do on the G3. It was ~$20 for the original one from LG.
The UI is cluttered by default, but you can make it into a list and make it less cluttered. I like it much better after that.
The camera is actually pretty amazing. I'll be posting pictures on Instagram/Twitter if you want to follow, same as my handle here. I know they get somewhat compressed, so I may start another thread with camera samples if you guys want that!
I think the round back would piss me off when using the phone while it is laying down on its back. I very often use one hand to double tap to wake, flip through notifications, send quick replies, double tap off. With a rounded back, can you type one handed while it is on a desk? Or does it rock back and forth? Seems like it would also slip off my lap while driving easier because the contact area is less.
And Qi charging is a requirement of any phone of mine. I have a sweet setup at home and work (Nexus 7 2013 and Verizon G2). Can you confirm? I'd hate a "qi backplate" because those typically add additional thickness and disallows feather cases like Incipio Feather from fitting.

I can type with one hand just fine, but it is round & moves when on the table. But it's not a huge deal to me, but that may be a deal breaker for some.
The Qi back for the G3 didn't add any bulk & thin cases fit just fine. I'll have some cases up tomorrow though!

Yeah, that's my current setup with the S3. But, that still means you have to buy something to actually be able it. It's not like phones like the S6 where you can literally put it straight out of the box and plop it onto a wireless charger and it'll start charging.

Yeah, I was wondering if colors would be exclusive, depending on the carrier. I've seen promos that T-Mobile is the only carrier that'll have the brown one you currently have. I remember seeing the black leather one for AT&T, but no idea if it's exclusive or not.
Ah okay, so it is like my S3 then, where you have to buy something separate to actually get use of the wireless charging since it's not enabled by default. Lil annoying, since I would prefer it enabled right out of the box, but it's not a deal breaker. I only even bought the receiver for the S3 because the charging port has gotten rather finicky, so it's buying time before I actually upgrade later this year.
I'd love to see some camera samples, so feel free to post them here or make a new thread for it. Your call on that.

You could also try getting one of those receivers that you can place on top of the battery (essentially looks like a sticker with some pins). I'm using that for my S3 to help buy some time before upgrading later this year since my charging port is a bit finicky now. Because it goes inside the phone, it really doesn't add any bulk to your device.
From what others have mentioned in this thread, only a matter of time before someone makes one for the G4. Because it's not a case, I'm not sure how fast it'll charge, compared to an actual backplate. It might be slower, but I honestly can't say.

You can get a qi wireless charging sticker for literally five dollars that takes two minutes to install, so it isn't that much of a hassle at all.
Sprint also has the black leather G4. Hopefully T-Mobile's brown leather exclusive expires by the time I get my G4 in November, because I want it.

I'll try you mine if I still have the device haha I get new phones A LOT :x
So does the G3 that ships in the US not have QI charging out of the box?
My G3 came with the QI charge patch built into the original rear cover and I was kinda assuming the G4 would be the same.
Thanks for the great review ... No doubt we will get the G4 here in Australia just before LG releases the G5 to you guys hahaha
Photo attached of the unit that was reviewed in France ... the QI patch is built into their model with the leather rear cover.

I believe that is the NFC antenna, not wireless charging. The impression LG gave off with the G4 was that there will be no wireless charging built in and the quickwindow case will be required for wireless charging. This is what they were saying for the American release of the G3, but they said the global model of the G3 will have wireless charging. From this, I'd guess the whole world will be in the same wireless charging situation with the G4 like the US was with the G3.

Ah, thanks for the explanation ... that might explain why only two contacts are made out of the 4 available.
I just googled replacement parts for the G3 and the QI and NFC are in the same patch ... but they use all 4 little contacts (on the picture I attached only two of the contacts are showing on the rear case).. At least the G4 has the 4 contacts on the phone so its likely someone will figure a way to replace the NFC with a combined NFC & QI with all 4 contacts.
Seems like a backwards step though
how did you get one already? and do you have to send this unit back after testing or did you win it?
seems to me the only people who got test units were professional reviewers.

So I just ordered my Moto Z4 unlocked from B&H Photo (one of the few online retailers that don't charge sales tax in my state), excited to get it. I've had a Moto Z Play for a long while now, and this is the first time I've gotten a phone right when it came out. It pretty much checks all the boxes for me, I had thought about getting the Oneplus 7 Pro but it was just too expensive.
It'll also be the first time I've rolled with stock on a phone in years. Been a big Cyanogen/Lineage fan for a long time, I make my own signed builds for my Z Play (work email requires a signed ROM). But I want to try and use the 360 camera so I'll see if I can stand stock.
Anybody else waiting for their phone? Mine gets here on Monday.
I'm still working off a Z2force and really love the MotoMods, which has me considering the Z4 even though it's considered "mid-range".... plus $1000 for a phone is ridiculous to me. That 360° camera looks like it could be fun to play with as well. Over the years I've gotten away from constantly modding my phones... my Z2force is rooted, but that used to be necessary to work with some other apps; not so much any more. I'd probably still want to root just to get rid of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all that kind of crap.
I'll be watching this thread and eagerly looking forward to your review/thoughts/info.
I may wait for few months because I got Z3 Play a couple of months ago.
I like the modules idea especially speaker mod and extra battery.
Root should be here as soon as bootloader unlock available.
Full ROM download is already there
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/foles/official/RETUS/
Got my phone today, one big thing to note is that the tempered glass screen protectors don't work with the fingerprint sensor on the phone. I'm going to just go without for now and hope for the best, at least the case I ordered fits. 360 camera is neat and works well
Great info on the fingerprint sensor! I typically use Armor Suit (non-glass) matte finish... maybe it's the glass portion that is the issue? Too thick maybe? Great info and I'm looking forward to more and pics too!!
Actually just figured out the case is missing a hole for a microphone on the back of the phone...all the cases on Amazon seem to be missing the hole as well. I just cut out a hole myself for that. Looks like we'll have to wait a while before the crap on Amazon filters out or updates their molds for the actual phone. I guess they made all this stuff purely from the previous leaks.

I'll get my case tomorrow and see if it has the hole itself, but thanks for pointing it out
I'll get bumper if I got Z4 because I have modules for Z3 Play.
Hopefully there's a module to enable "desktop" mode like Samsung Dex
Alas, it looks like the turbo battery module is no longer available

Interesting I wonder why. Maybe on Amazon?
I am also waiting for a Z4. Basically waiting for bootloader unlocks and root, as I am too use to Vanced and Adaway, along with a bumper case for my Battery Mod I always have connected. I have the Sprint Z2 Force I converted to Verizon Variant and it's running well, but really wish Moto would give major updates often.
Looks like Sparin came out with a clear case & glass screen protector actually made for the Z4 & the proper cutouts, ordered today from Amazon we'll see how they go.
I got the US unlocked version yesterday at Best buy. It came with the 360 camera included. Tax and all it was $537. It's not a bad device from my early impression but we'll see in the coming weeks. Waiting for TWRP is torturous. I can take or leave root on most of my devices but something about this phone just makes me want to poke around under the hood. Im ordering a case off Amazon and hope I don't have the same no hole in the back problem I've read about in a few of the other replies in this thread.

OtterBox is offering a Commuter case on their site if you're interested in one. I just ordered mine.
I am keeping my Z2 Force as a backup in my drawer (which relegates my Droid Turbo to third string in this case, finally.) However, for now I'll continue to use it as there is still no Bumper Case for the Z4 for me to use my moto mods and protect the sides. That, and there is no bootloader/TWRP for the device yet. I use the Projector mod (usually in my car, during Champions League/Football Season) and the Turbo Power motomod quite extensively so the lack of bumper is disheartening at the moment.
I assume that those that are talking about TWRP and root, have the unlocked version? I bought the Verizon version, but am afraid to even hope that there will be an upcoming root option available.
Carrier unlocked and bootloader unlocked are different things.
if anyone's looking for a good, slim case & screen protector, it looks like Sparin are the only ones that actually designed a case & protector based off the actual phone and not just leaks. Would still like to have a bumper but this'll do. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZQWZKL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ; https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZS5SJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can anyone with this phone confirm whether the fingerprint scanner works from the display off position? IOW, if the phone is face up, but off, on a table, can I power it on and unlock it just by scanning my finger, or do I have to press the power button first?

Good question. Not sure exactly what you mean but I NEVER push a hardware button on this phone except when I want to silence an incoming call when in my belt holster (VolDown) and the power button when I swapped in a new SD card last weekend.

I've just gotten used to not having to pick up the phone or search for a button with my Moto G5+ fingerprint scanner on the front. If my hands are dirty (or full) and I want to quickly turn on the display/unlock, all I have to do is momentarily touch the scanner below the screen. Within .5 sec the screen is up and phone is unlocked.
Most newer phones have the scanner on the back, which precludes doing that. And, quite frankly, it's what appealed to me about this Z4. With Verizon now offering an unlocked version for $120+ tax (and the ability to immediately cancel service), I've pulled the trigger. Gets here tomorrow, so hopefully this won't be an issue.

I assume that those that are talking about TWRP and root, have the unlocked version? I bought the Verizon version, but am afraid to even hope that there will be an upcoming root option available.

TWRP and Root, yeah thats what I meant. I won't be buying the Carrier version of the Z4, so I should be fine with that. I just want my adaway and Youtube Vanced.
Just bought the Note 10+ which kind of disappoints me when I see the screen compared to my brilliant note 4 but that's another story.
I've tried a number of wallet cases but almost all the ones I see are with magnetic closure and that affects the S-Pen writing on the edge even with the tag stretched out as far as it goes.
Just wondering if anyone has found a case which doesn't use the magnetic closure?
I don't understand why manufacturers put magnets anywhere near the note series cases - Even Snakehive leather cases seem to do that and they tell me they don't get to test the devices when they make the products . Duh! then they tell me that they only get a few complaints and that is probably because in reality there are quite a few note owners that simply don't use the S-Pen.
I've always had wallet cases, prefer them and the one for my Note 4 was great (manna by Leinke), this had a perfect interference clasp which has never failed in all the years I've used it but sadly they didn't make one for the Note 10 / 10+ .
If anyone managed to find something that works I'd love to know especially one available in the UK.

Well in case you didn't notice this thread was about finding a case for the Note 10+ which doesn't have a magnetic closure.
Magnets and S Pen do not play well together
I have a Belemay wallet case without magnet and am very happy with it. ordered it off Amazom
