Pro-Fit SIII car dock work with N4?

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.

Pull tab case may be the way to go...never owned one. Best makers?

Hello friends! I am in love with my Nexus 4 (despite USB-OTG not working so far). I am coming from a Casio rugged smartphone that didn't require a case because it was bulletproof, so I have no idea who makes the best cases these days.
I think I want to go with a slide in Pull Tab case. This way I don't have to worry about "will this work with the Qi charger," and this thing fits perfectly in my hand right now for one handed use...I fear adding any thickness in the form of a case will make it just a little too big for my hands.
I don't mind spending the money on a case that looks nice, feels nice, and is high quality. I ordered one of the cheapo Pull Tab cases off of e-bay just to hold me over....but who makes some of the nicer pull tab cases? I know they won't have one for the Nexus 4 just yet, but I want to stalk their website until they do.
Thanks!
(side note: I ended up purchasing a Wi-Drive from Kingston. This little thing makes a perfect addition to our phones. I really hope USB-OTG gets worked out, but for those of you who want some extra storage for travel, the Wi-Drive worked better than I imagined).

That would be awesome if they made a Nexus 4 specific one. I would love the LED and speaker cutouts. I will keep an eye out!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012524 is the one I'm using, along with some pictures. It's designed for the Galaxy Nexus, but fits perfectly. And is only $12.98

Nexus 4 Charging Case

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

[Q] Asus Vivotab Smart ME400 microSD Support

Hi All
Could you advise on MicroSD support on Asus Smart? what is maximum capacity you have been succesfully using?
Ausu mentioned MiniSDXC up to 32GB but on some reviews I read that 64 are supported as well, on others that there were some issues with it..
What cards and what capacity you can recommended as working without issue?
What do you think about this sandisk?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDS...KM30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360367319&sr=8-1

I use a Sandisk micro sdxc 64GB (same as the one you linked) and it works fine. Also worked with Surface RT. It's fast enough for 1080p video which is all that matters to me, I don't use it for programs.

Thank you for your answer. I have ordered this sandisk as well. Now one last thing to find the case. Otherwise all is ready and waiting for ME400 delivery. Can't wait

Case is the one thing I have not found. Amazon have the BlueRex for $15 but no picture yet and no ETA.

I've had my Vivotab Smart ME400C for a couple of weeks now. Lovin it.
DEFINITELY glad I did not go with an RT device. IMO, if you're going to go RT, might as well get an Android tablet.
From what I can see, the form factor is nearly identical to the Vivotab RT. So I shopped (my wife actually) for a case that is compatible with the RT. Seems that searching on Amazon also brings up results that reflect that the RT is compatible with the Transformer? Haven't looked in to it.
Judging by the images (I know they can be deceiving), it looks like the case should fit the ME400. Case also rotates.
The case also comes with a neoprene carrying pouch.
Hopefully, it will arrive in less than a week. Also ordered a matte screen/anti glare screen protector. These two items for less than $30 + $7 or so for shipping.
I've also ordered a 64GB Micro SDXC Sandisk memory card and OTG cable.
Asus seems somewhat inconsistent. SOME of their sites (various countries) show just SDHC and some show SDHC (SDXC compatible memory cards). And from what I've read here, I'm going to go with SDXC works for our ME400. (Crossing my fingers!)
Keep y'all posted on the stuff I've ordered.
Here are links to the items I've ordered for your reference/opinions/input.

My experience with those 360 degree cases are not pleasant. That one could be different but it looks identical to the one I got for my Nexus 7. It was very cheaply made, and the rotation was simply a button-clip design so I could spin it in a circle continuously if I wanted. Stability when it was in portrait was not strong. It would slowly start to bend backwards due to the flimsiness of the case.
I've ordered a few of the matte protectors from ebay that were for the RT Vivo. The only major difference I can see is the ME400 is ~1mm thicker than the RT version. Not sure how much that would affect cases for it. Some maybe, other's not.

I know what you mean. I've played around with a few cases from those kiosks in shopping malls. Not really thrilled with the build quality, I agree. I'm not expecting the best for sure. However, considering I have dropped my ME400 twice already (low level), but has chipped the outer bezel on both corners (one corner per drop, lol), I need to get something asap.
The thickness...well with the ME400 being slightly thicker, I'm hoping it just makes for a tighter fit.
I just hope the screen protector has the proper areas exposed, ie camera, light sensor etc. Don't want to do a hackjob on the screen protector.

Hi Guys
I got myself this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B007SGV26U/ref=aw_d_var_2nd_clothing_img?vs=1
And I am really surprised by its quality. It fits perfectly and provides quite good level of protection. It's rather stiff and has those jelly bubbles inside.
Still will be looking for portfolio case.
In this matter I am waiting for MoKo case which is already available in US but still not in UK.
It looks quite nice.
Unless somebody is willing to buy me one off US amazon page and sell it to me on eBay

Ordered a folio style case that is for the Vivotab RT from amazon. Other than 1mm thickness difference, they are identical. Will let you know when it arrives how it fits.

Amazon tracking has told me my Sandisk Micro SDXC 64GB card has been delivered.
2 more hours of work to go before I can trek home and plug this baby in.
Crossing my fingers!

It's working just fine I have been using sandisk 64gb for a while without any problems.

Throughly enjoying the 64GB SDXC. I was worried because the Asus site was a little flakey in terms of information. Some of their sites show just SDHC, some sites show SDHC (SDXC compatible).
Now...just waiting for my cheap aftermarket case, anti-glare screen protector and OTG cable.:good:

Hi guys
I have received this case and I will describe it in one word AVOID!!!!!
This is scam, this case is for some device but for sure not for ME400C. Additionally I saw a cow in my life and I don't remember it to be made of cheap plastic. Or I don't know how leather looks like.
Just to summarise I am sending it back, quality is a joke, windows button is covered same as ambient light sensor and volume down rocker.
I have attached some photos below

Probably best off with just getting the official case from ASUS

Looks more like a case for the Transformer TF600. That might explain the extra cutouts and the covering of the windows button?

This is what I thought. Still if you are in need for a case you cad go for TF600 cases if you don't mind few things not be perfectly in line. Side wise those two devices are almost same.

I ordered a case that was for the vivotab RT, hopefully everything is still accessible.

Same here, should arrive next week. Will post results.
Vivotab RT Screen protector arrived, which I ordered for my Smart. Dimension wise it fits, camera hole is a little off centre, so I had to do a little hackjob. for $5 and change, free shipping, no harm done. Will order an official one from Zagg probably soon.
I've already dropped my Smart twice. Top left and right corners of the bezel are already chipped. Thus I need my case (even if it's not 100% the right one) asap, and is also why I opted to get the RT screen protector for the time being.

Got mine in. The Greatshield case is nice but it does cover the volume down button slightly. Since it is for vivotab RT, I wasn't expecting a perfect fit. The light sensor is almost covered as well. It can't go into the lower stand case, it can only do the high stand style. There is no smart cover-style feature on the vivotab smart so the magnets don't put it in sleep mode. Overall, a nicely built case.

Wallet type / flip case without magnet??

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.

Hi, I was looking for the best flip case with a magnetic closure for a long time and finally I found it. The only functional and best ..

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
