The border acts like a magnet - Nexus 9 General

I might have accidentally magnetized my Nexus 9... Pic will be up soon.

That's normal
For the sides to be magnetic

That's cool... Anyways... *sticks every USB I own ever onto the Nexus 9* *sticks OTG cable and charging cable* *sticks a magnet* *sticks a keychain* *sticks a stick*

Its supposed to be like that, so the covers you get for it are held closed, I have a supcase folio that stays closed this way.

I've ran a few neodymium magnets by the N9 and nothing bad happen

I was freaked out when I picked up my N9 off the table and my wife's hair clips was attached. To it.

Lol

It can be a little annoying... I learned that they absolutely will not stack straight because of the magnets, they all offset from the one below by half an inch or so.
Learned this after we got 4 of them in to work for testing/development. I was a little perplexed at first, then I took a back off and saw all the magnets.

Mine could really do with stronger magnets, my official 'magic' cover isn't so 'magic' :s It slides off pretty easily. It's not the cover itself either, it attaches pretty strongly to other ferrous materials so sadly it seems to be the tablet itself that's lacking.

I don't have the official magic cover. I just got the hotcool cheapo one and felt the same way. I just placed two neodymium magnets on the cover thinking i could use it to hold business cards and other important docs while in a pinch. Call it a mind trick since I don't know the property of magnets too well, but it appears the case holds on tighter when I did that.

My Nexus 9 has a magnetic border too.It sticks to parts of my laptop , OTG converter , USB Flash Drive, screws , paper clips and anything metal. I thought it was something with mine but it seems to be normal (but annoying). How can we fix this

Mine is magnetic too
Life is poker, risk being happy

It's magnetic by design. The boarder on the Nexus 9 is magnetic to support how both the Magic Cover and official folio keyboard work with it.

Tetrax and Nexus 4

Wondering if the Tetrax magnet will hold Nexus 4 at the back?
http://www.tetrax.com/us/
I have this for my Galaxy Nexus, but I had to stick a metal at the back. Because I want to use the wireless charging in the future, I don't think its a great idea to stick the small metal at the back of the phone.
I'm not sure if the Nexus 4 actually have enough (metal/something magnetic) on the back of the inside of the phone to stick on the magnet? Not sure anyone tried this. Because I dropped my Galaxy Nexus and cracked it(in Canada), I'm still waiting to order one!
I'm so use to using this stuff, its really hard to go back to using a car holder.
If anyone know if this one would stick to a magnet, please let me know! Thanks.
I have no familiarity with that product but I just took the strongest magnet off of my fridge (holding up a 1lb whiteboard on there so it's not "industrial" strength but it's not a super weak one either) and I could barely feel the pull between it and my N4. In fact, now that I've done this, I'm concerned that it will be very difficult for them to make the Orb hold this phone at an angle without it sliding off.
Based on this and what I know of that product, I wouldn't expect it to work. That said, I'm not sure how super powerful that magnet is so it's kinda hard to say for sure.
HTH
I think a solution would be to put the metal on a TPU case like the Rearth Ringke Slim and then if you don't want to use the case daily, just leave it magnetized to the Tetrax in your car. That way you just created a dock for yourself in the car to use, a case if you want to use it, and you can even put a NFC tag on the case so that whenever you "dock" it in your car, it activates whatever car mode features you want.

I've tried this with the Nexus 4 and the metal plates some right off of the glass back when you try to mount it on the XWAY. I'm looking for a solution to this. I love the XWAY and used it for quite a while with my SGS2. It was great with that but the Nexus 4's glass back is so smooth anything you stick on it will come off fairly quickly.
I am in the same boat, the stupid metal won't stick at the back. I'm going to contact my friend at 3m to see if they have any other double side tape that would work, I don't want to use something too strong that I can't pull it back out and not break the back glass =(
Why not put a screen protector on the back and then the metal thing on that?
Let's you still see the back, and when you want to remove the metal thing, you won't have to worry about hurting the phone.

I'm thinking of getting one of the dBrad Black Carbon skins then sticking the XWAY plate on it. The reviews say it sticks really well to the Nexus 4's glass back.

Although I might just take some super glue or something to assist the XWAY plate in adhering to the glass.

FYI - I took some super glue gel and glued the XWAY mount to the back of my Nexus 4, waited a couple hours for the glue to cure and it's working fine now. I figure I can always take a razor blade and scrape it all off sometime if the future since it's glass, after all. I can't say if it will work long term, it's stuck on there good and tight now. Cheers!
The metal plate slips off the back of my N4 too. I contacted Tetrax with no reply. So much for that.

"Suitable for the LG Google Nexus 4"

After getting it, i can assume that an 1mm sylicone case between magnet and chip on phone wont be stable, not strongh enough.
Btw, even Glue (superglue 3 universale) had some troubles to hold chip on phone (Our nexus is too smart to be glued^^).

Looking for magnetic car mount system for N4

I have seen some magnets that attach to the case of a phone then connect to a metal plate on the car or one that connects to the vents of the car. Does anyone make one strong enough to securely hold the Nexus 4 with a heavy duty case?

Thanks for the excellent info. I ended up ordering the Xway, a single button to stick somewhere else, and I found an accessory pack with 6 more sticky magnets to place around!

Yes, it looks like it sticks on with adhesive to the back of the phone.
Yes that is exactly how it works. The adhesive does not work on some cases so I have sometimes used crazy glue. I've tried a lot of systems for in car mounting and this is by far the best in my opinion.

X-Way is great for using vents as your mounting point, but if you want to mount it ANYWHERE you want, then get the FIX-WAY.
I have something simple and a lot cheaper, you might want to consider.
Cellet Magnetic Holder
Here's a youtube video which might explain it better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpVahSd3PHU
I can attest that the magnet is extremely strong. The phone will not move at all through any bumps when driving. You stick the magnet to the back of your Nexus 4. I never took off the protective back skin that came with the nexus, so I didn't mind sticking the magnet to the back of the phone. On top of that I use the Diztronic protective case covering the back of the phone. Since that case covers the entire back of the phone, it covers the magnet and you can't even tell I have the magnet on at all. the magnet still works great through the protective case and still extremely strong.

From the reviews it is larger, but stronger maybe. I ordered one in case I can use them together or the other one is not strong enough.
I built a magnetic car dock for the nexus4 that I'm now selling.

Here's a video of one of the prototypes showing how it works. The production version works the same except the magnet is stronger and it has cutouts for headphones, mic, camera, and speaker.

There is a metal plate at the back of the phone or underneath the case....not a magnet...
Metal may have a better effect on inductive charging....rather than hampering it...but this is just my guess...it may disable inductive charging as well....

Everyone in my family has one. it's awesome

The back comes off?

So, I dropped my phone. Noticed that around the volume button and then on the other side that the back was separated from the front. Thinking, oh crap, the back doesn't come off, I was already having nightmares about going to verizon. I pushed the back, back onto the frame and it snapped into place on both sides. I was too much of a wuss to try to remove it again but, I think the back actually comes off this phone and is just held on like all removable back phones, it just snaps into place. I have the ballistic nylon back.
ANyone know for sure?

I watched the teardown video. The back is held down by clips I think, so you can actually pry it off if you have a shim to get into there.
Well yeah, if it can be put together it can be taken apart. What it comes down to is how easily it can be done without damaging the phone. iDevices have always been made without a removable back, but as far as I know all of them can be taken apart for servicing. I replaced the HDD in my 2nd or 3rd gen iPod like 5 times and the battery once before wising up and ditching that Apple crap (that was my first and last Apple product).

I see that there are ballistic nylon backs being sold on eBay now. I wonder how long before the metallized Kevlar backs show up. It will be awesome to be able to switch them out.
I put the red volume key in the black plastic so it now it has a red accent. Also the M comes out on the ballistic nylon. I actually plan on removing the M, I'm putting in some sort of metal dish. Then using that does to attach to a magnetic car dock for wireless charging. yeah, I might end up taking this too far lol

The camera picked up every flaw the eye cant see lol I took one of the LG car charging pads, a cheap $10 RadioShack car dock. Took the charging pad apart and put four magnets. One in each corner. then I took the cheap Doc I bought and cut the legs off of it and plastic welded them to the LG pad . Then I took the sticky part of the cheap dark and super glued it to the pad. It holds just fine without the little legs. But I like the extra support. Doesn't look too great without a phone on it. But once I put my phone on it all you see is the phone. looks like it's floating.
Edit. the back of the Droid turbo has metal in it. So its magnetic. If you put a magnet on the center and triggers the flip case. But keeping them off the side seems to be just fine
But the real question is... Can you access, remove, and replace the battery?

Interesting. That blob in the middle is the sticky part of the cheap dock? Do the magnets hold the phone without that sticky stuff? Is it hard to line up the phone with the charging coil? Does it get a steady current to charge?
Also, would you be able to point me to the exact charging pad you used so I know it would work?
I may have myself a project, lol... I'm wondering if something like this would work with the Turbo:

Without the bloob it will hold. But not really strong. I'm going to revisit this project, I just needed the dock backup so I could go to work lol because I tried 2 hours and I like having somewhere to put my phone. Any qi charging pad will work with the Droid turbo. The one I have is the LG puck. Just make sure whatever you get it's designed for a car. 12 volts, not 110.
Probably next weekend or whenever I have the time I'm going to take off the back of the Droid turbo and put some metal in there, like grind down some razor blades to fit. One just below the M & 1 just above the droid logo. That will give it a much stronger hold that I can get rid of the blob and the legs. I just have a very strong fear of the phone falling off while driving and face planting into my shift knob lol.

I bought some neodymium magnets, but I still don't think it will hold while driving. I haven't finished yet though. I also have a bad feeling it won't actually charge because the magnets are interfering with the charging coil.

custom turbo magnetic wireless charging car dock

so, Ive wanted a magnetic car dock for a while. Airdock makes a nice one. but the airdock 2 is not available. at least last time i checked. So i decided to make one. this has been an on going project for about a month. the first one i made was quite simple. very much like the one on youtube. just 4 magnets placed in a LG charging pad. problem was, the charging would start and stop randomly. I assumed it had to do with the magnet locations. some how it was effecting the charging (considering Qi charging is magnetic)
back to the drawing board! and then project after project lol. I think i must have made 8 docks. all had issues and I was not satisfied. I even made one out of carbon fiber, or an attempt to! didnt turn out well.. then I went a bit out side of the box. so heres what i did
First, i had an extra Turbo battery cover. i plastic dipped that. my theory was plastic dip would work as a release agent for my next step. then I took an old iphone bumper case my wife had and used that as my frame.. alined 4 magnets next to the moto symbol (i put 2 small peaces of metal in that area in side the phone) then i used tap to cover all the gaps the case would have on the phone, and poured in a full tube of plastic weld epoxy. I had no clue what would happen but i was willing to try!
after everything cured it worked really well.. I was able to take the epoxy off the phone cover fairly easly (you can see it pulled off some of the vz and droid writing.. as well as the moto symbol)
now, i have a form that matches the turbo exactly.
the next step was just a mater of sanding and cutting off any of the over pour and any imperfections in the epoxy.
then i put in the wireless charging pad
next, i plastic dipped the front (being rubber it works really well as a non slip surface)
then i warped the outside in some auto chrome trim
and that was that! new charging dock for my car that fits like a glove! because it matches the turbos curves, it auto centers it self. and holds super tight! phone wont move at all... very happy with the out come.. let me know what you guys think! thanks
thats really sweet ill buy one ?
That looks sweet!!!

Not really links I could use as everything i got was locally bought. Magnets from ace hardware. Cheap iPhone 4 case. Plastic dip and plastic weld epoxy made by jb weld. Got that stuff at pep boys.

Necro-posting...
When the phone back cover was open, did it look like there was enough room to install a metal ring, for use with current magnetic phone holders (Qi chargers)? I have to open the case to replace the battery and figured I might try a magnetic Qi mount as well (easier to rotate from portrait to landscape without a large plastic exo-frame). It's that, or use a thin cover and put the ring between the phone and the accessory cover (I have the ballistic nylon back).

Love Mei galaxy S9+ case review and thoughts!

What a beast of a case for the S9+! I have heard of these cases but have yet to have a phone that would work with one.
First off the packaging is great. It’s well packaged and protected with a great looking box. Inside you find the case, 2 Allen wrenches, a lanyard, and a brochure. Installation of this case is pretty straight forward. Just remove the 6 Allen screws and separate the pieces. Slip the phone into the rubber part and reverse the assembly process. Being careful to realign everything.
Use:
The buttons are easy to press and find on the case. The flap for the power port fits snug and will keep dust out. Like I said, it’s snug and a bit tight to open. But very manageable. The headphone port has a great little door and also closes nice and snug. Doesn’t feel like it will open by accident. Speaker ports and mic ports are all correct and well made.
On the back of the case there is a cutout in the aluminum but still covered in the rubber material for what my guess is wireless charging. Very cool! The camera and flash as well as finger print scanner are all well protected and not obstructed in any way. I like the protection for the camera area.
Access to the screen edges is unobstructed. And still picks up presses just fine. Not issues here for me but some people may feel different.
Overall it’s a beast. But will I leave it on full time? Probably not and here’s why. I use a gimble a lot for videos with my phone. My gimble just wont work this case. And needing to remove screws and such to take the case off is a bit of a pain for day to day for me. But for camping and such this case will be on my s9+!
Can you use the edge features at all with that case?

Yes, and I have fat fingers. With that said, it's not as easy as having smaller case or no case at all.
That's a massive case.

This phone case is too heavy and will affect the signal of the phone.
