Anyone try one on a Note 8? I never actually used one on my own phone. Was testing out on my brother phone, not note 8. Seemed pretty handy and useful. I don't wanna waste $10-20 on one, if it's not good with Note. So trying to get opinions from people who used on Note 8.
Opinions? Suggestions? Please & thanks!

Here's pic of what some look like. I am sure you've seen people in public or you know use them. Google or amazon cell phone grips. They're pretty popular and useful. Better grip and kick stand as well.

Lol they ain't the most sexy, but useful. The grip is adjustable. Collapses in and pops out with ease. The circle ones atleast.

Strap might be best bet. I say this because wireless charging might not work with circle 1s? Idk going to try and find out if the effects it.

one of them looks like a door knob. I do get the value of functionality of these things but god does it make the phone look prehistoric/abominable .
I have an ultra thin phone ring with magnetic capabilities so that I can mount it in the car. 3mm thick. Works great. Stuck it onto a dbrand skin rather than an open back. I can not only wireless charge with it but also fit it in a VR headset.
Thought of using something like this before but decided not too when i realized it would be hard to write on my phone with the spen while placed on top of a table. The phone would just be wobbly since it wont be flat on the table
This 1 might be just right. Got funded 4Xs over goal.

You could try Loopy case. I use it on my Note 8 and absolutely love it. I have small hands but with this i can reach every corner of my phone. Had a few on my previous phones and im impressed. Daughter has pop sockets, other filmsy rings-straps and after trying them my opinion is that loop is way better.

You can buy just the loop no need to buy the whole case. There are many colors and variants avaliable. You have to go to accesories on their page.

Don't know, i am not using wireless charger. There are videos on youtube with loopy case + iPhone and charging works so i belive that it would work with note 8 also. If you test it let us know because i wanted to buy wireless charger but had doubts just like you.

Hey everyone,
Got my nillkin case:
http://www.nillkin.com/chinese/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=&tid=&cid=&scid=&id=2739&page=
Pros: There is a fine texture on the back of the case. Really improves your confidence regarding holding it.
The smooth case of of stock Note kinda makes you feel like it might slip right out.
Holes are cut pretty well. I kinda wish it was little bit thicker to protect the camera more.
Cons: It's too thin. Meaning it doesn't really fit all that well with the cover on.
However, if you remove the back cover it's pretty good actually. You lose your NFC antenna if you do this though.
The top and bottom are basically exposed.
This is, one one hand, annoying, and on the other hand - At least I don't have to worry about headphone port blockage, or worse - making the USB port even more annoying than it is now.
I haven't tried the included screen protector yet.

The screen protector isn't staying on very well.
What about simple protection? Is it that bad as u said cos its thin and it doesn't fit well? Or still one can assume it's safe (i rarely drop my phones)..

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.
IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

Have you tried solution from Brodit?
On their site you can just select type of your phone and your car and the configurator will find all versions they have for your combination.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

I have this and works really good, should fit anything phabet sized even with bulky casing. While I had read reviews that it sticks on any flat surface but I hadn't tested its strength, it has been on my windshield for more than 6 months and never fall off on its own.

I'm looking for an extended battery/phone case for my M8...ya know, a powered case. I had a Mophie on my Galaxy S4 and absolutely lobed it...well, most of the time. Anyways, since Mophie doesn't make a case for the M8, I'm forced to explore a new brand.
Please if anyone knows of a reputable company (other than Mophie) please share your recommendation with me!
Thanks!!

I found two options, and it's really just a matter of price/brand.
This one...
And then the Mugen.
The Mugen has the pedigree as well as a higher milliampere-hour capacity, however it's $50 more. So it's really just dependent how how much you want to spend. Hope this helps.
Edit: I do not have experience with either of these, so if you decide to try one please let us know which one and how you like it.

So I found this one on Amazon yesterday and bought it. It arrives tomorrow, I'll report back and let you know my initial reactions.
ZeroLemon has their new battery case for our M8 on Amazon, just bought it, I'll update once I get it.
Well I just got my PowerBear charging case in the mail. Out of the box, it feels like reasonably good quality. Nice looking, it has that smooth, sorta grippy rubberized business we all seems to love now. It was very easy to slide the phone in and snap it into place. I'll put it thru it's paces and see how it does. The led indicators on the back are a nice touch, as is the built-in kickstand. Give me a few days to see if any issues arise.

The Samsung clear view cases they look real smart but seem a bit pricey at 40 to 50 pounds depending on the colour I think Cheers Tony
I like it but the front cover scratches way to easy. I have had mine for 24 hours and its already scratched up!
I have read good reviews on this clear case.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...3WVE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1429730159&sr=8-2
It costs a fraction of what Samsung is charging for theirs. Plus, it works with wireless charging.
uhh can i see what you are talking about OP?
I just ordered this, unfortunately it says it won't be here for about a month. I doubt it's going to look anything like the stock photos though.

If you were clever enough you would have taken the time to search "galaxy s6 clear view case" rather than commenting saying you dont know what im talking about.
Anyway, here it is (see attached).
not famous
Sorry! This is not famous at all
I have both Clear cover and Clear view cover. They are pretty good looking, but unfortunately the durability is laking: around 24h is enough to get firsts scraches. For the price ( 24€ for 1st and around 50€ for the 2nd) I'm a bit disappointed, how could it ever last a year with such vulnerability ?
Though it offers a pretty poor protection: metal edges aren't covered at all, and after first drop, get a bad scraches on aluminium. Fortunately I get a replacement for pixel problem, so my phone is bright new right now.

It would be nice is Samsung would get this **** together and have product available for sale on their US site. Every time a new phone comes out they are months behind in getting accessories out.
More clear look on Samsung Clear View Case.
very nice case, when devs mods on this case then it will be brilliant
Yeah the case itself is very good looking and very sleek. There's a lot og good reviews about this case as well so might be a bang for buck case thus far.
Just received this. Good craftsmanship, heavy and stable.
Wow, that looks super convenient.. I'm actually thinking of ordering one myself after seeing this. What's your impression of it so far, would you recommend buying it?
I was all set to buy one of these then I read complaints on Amazon that there is no magnet to help hold the watch in place which leads to unreliable charging. Can anyone confirm is this indeed the case?

I have one of these GOOQ stands and it works very well - as good as the original . It has a magnet and the watch is held securely but in a much better position and using less desk space.

Been using it a while now, and it's great. The magnet is strong enough to keep the watch in place, no problem. One thing I recommend is to attach it to the desk with double-sided tape.
Btw, the watch charges pretty quick.
