I like to use dust plugs on my devices to preserve their functionality. I am unable to find a dust plug specifically for the Samsung proprietary plug. There is one from China, but I really don't like ordering products from overseas.
Has anyone used the iPhone proprietary dust plug? It seems like it might fit, not sure.
All I know is that I tried a apple av cable on my 10.1 and the plug didn't fit.

Thats because the "tongue" where the pins are does not line up with the "rails" where the connector slides in.
OP depending on where how detailed the cover is (ie whether it has rails and a tongue or just a tongue or just rails etc) will determine whether it fits

I haven't done any extensive search but I looked the other day and stopped at some kind of plastic pouch.
So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.
Is it just me.. Or does the charger keep falling out too easily from the charging port?
I haven't damaged it or treated it wrong.. It keeps falling out easily when I pick up the device.
I have tried the supplied white cable.. And still had my galaxy s3 cable.. Does same.
Anyone else.?

On inspection, I've noticed that the port is recessed quite far back into the phone. I'm hoping it's just a problem for a few handsets. I called three today and they're sending me another Note 2. Let's see if this one is any better.
No problems here. Did you try any other micro usb cable.. some fit better than others
Yep it's rubbish. The plug needs to be longer. The socket is too recessed. Easy enough to remove some of the casing of an old usb lead. Will update, to see how well it works.

Mine too. Keeps falling off every now and then. I bought HDTV adapter (the Samsung proprietary one for the S3) and that has a much longer micro usb and that fits in tight. I read somewhere that samsung has modified the micro USB port (some 5 pin connector or something like that, for the MHL) could it be because of that?

So I spent way too much time researching wireless charging mods for Note II's in general only to realize that the Sprint specific version has the charging port terminal holes filled in.
Why did they bother?
I just received a Touchstone for my Touchpad, would have been awesome to have that available for my Note II w/o having to drill holes in my casing and void the warranty.
Oh well.

Nice find, I wonder if it will work through my Ringke SLIM. The Touchpad Touchstone is almost powerful enough to charge it through a rather thick folio case...hmmm
Also a bit hesitant to solder anything...I think I'd rather drill a hole in my plastic, since both would void warranty.

May I just advise caution to anyone thinking of doing this. The charger should be held in by the prongs locating properly. By bending the metal it stays in place by pushing against the middle pin which is usually made of plastic and could easily snap leaving you with a much more expensive repair than the cost of a new cable

I've got the wireless charging battery cover from Verizon on my phone. It makes the phone a bit thicker. I was wondering if there were any cases out there that can accommodate the extra size. I currently use a Cruzerlite case that I cut a little bit to allow expansion but I'd like something a bit cleaner.
TIA for any input!

You can get wireless charging inlays that fit inside the original battery lid and as such don't increase the thickness of the device
Interesting, never heard of that. Do you have a link?

They're practically impossible to miss, just search ebay or any number of other places for "s3 qi inlay"
Has anyone experienced any issues with the inlays? I just got a wireless qi charger and the Verizon rear case for the phone and have just been putting up with the added thickness. I wouldn't mind considering the inlays though.

They make it a bit thicker and bow the back out very slightly.
To those who currently have a qi wireless charger. Few questions as I'm about to get one.. Does the charging pad get warm? Is it ok to keep plugged in or could it be a possible fire hazard? Stupid question, I know, but I have a hard time trusting cheap stuff from china, lol. Does wireless charging charge as fast as USB? Thanks!

Occasionally. Yes it's fine. And it depends on the pad and the receiver on your phone. Mine is 650mA so it's slightly faster than USB

1. Slightly warm when in use.
2. Yes, it's fine to leave it plugged in. My one at my office desk sits on top of a pile of papers and hasn't set anything on fire yet.
I personally own this receiver (which I use with this pad, though my pads are black rather than white), which works well though my lifeproof case. No dice with the Otterbox Armour case though.
I'd recommend avoiding this charger. It doesn't work worth a damn through a case and constantly connects/disconnects.
I have the same receiver inlay as compo01, using it with a variety of pads, including an official Samsung S4 one that I modded into an ugly but functionally awesome dock

my phone gets warm during the initial charging but once it hits 100% it cools down real fast. I can think of only one other thing in this case.. you might not be aligned correctly.. but i would not think that's the case since you seem to be able to get to 100% with no problem...
I have the Verizon and the monster watts WiQiQi kit. I mainly use the Verizon back cover even though it means I can't put a case on. The WiQiQi is a nice kit but when I use it with my preferred case, one with a stand , The screen distorts and bulges. But I put the WiQiQi in my fathers phone with an otterbox and he has no issues.
