Will non-brand nexus 5 flip covers wake the phone? - Nexus 5 Accessories

Just as my title states, I'm curious If the lg quick cover uses a special magnet, and if not will non-brand cheap flip covers also wake the phone on opening? Would save a lot of money if so.

Depends on the cover. If it has a magnet it should wake the phone, but not all covers have magnets.

If it doesn't work, use this or something similar. Just tested. It works.

I have the Nillkin flip cover and it wakes the phone when opened and puts it to sleep when closed.

I second this.

You just need the cover to have a magnet on the top left. Try it, find any magnet and place it near the top left of your Nexus 5's screen

this sleep and wake up functionality is related to magnet only...so it does not rely on it whether you are using a brand case or a non brand case...so smile....you can go up with a non brand one too....

Thanks
5 Days to Christmas...

As others have said: so long as the case has a magnet in the right place you're golden.
Personally I have an Orzly case and it works perfectly for screen on/off.

How this helps...and I also just got the Clear Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case For HTC One and I think I actually like it more than the Poetic Case.
Youtube review of the case.
Is there some kind of magnetic closure? So that when i hold the phone upside down, the front part doesn't open?
Nope, it just flops open... Try a rubber band...

Got the FlipBook today and it is a very nice sleek case. The cover is heavy so it closes very nicely. It lookes luxury. It fits mutch better than the original HTC flipstand cover I have. The original I like to both it's a bit to loose in my opinion.
Got the clear Poetic case to that one fits so tight that it hard to get it of again. It's very nice.
Came with a letter from Poetic that all costumers how both one will get a free update in may because the remote control does not work with the case because of block by white button.

I've had it for about a week. Very nice fit and finish. Very slim. As one poster mentioned, there's no mechanism to keep the flap closed (no magnet or snap). There's a fair chance it'll flap open if dropped and not provide much protection. However, I got this case primarily to protect the glass face in my pocket etc. and it's definitely less slippery than the naked phone.
:good:
Was browsing around and just saw this. Costs much more, but someone might be interested.

Does it have auto lock/ unlock when you open the case? The poetic case I have on my Nexus10 has this functionality and is very handy.

I have the same one on my n10,however this doesn't. There's an application called smart cover which works quite well.

I've been using the Poetic FlipBook case for about 2 weeks now. It's great -- the cover is heavy enough that it stays shut except when upside down, and is nice because I can 'swing' it open with one hand with a little force.
I usually take my phone out of it at night or at work (I have a dock for work) - it pops right out if you peel back 2 corners, but holds it very sturdy otherwise. I've dropped the phone once, and it protected the corner that hit the table - better yet, it didn't leave a single mark.
The cover and back feel nice to the touch, and it's nice not worrying about using a screen protector or anything when it's in my pocket. Adds very little weight to the phone.
I like my phone naked, but if I'm out and about, that's not exactly 'smart' so this case keeps the phone classy, gorgeous, and has a practical application. Just make sure not to get sand or something on the inner front cover!
Do you guys find the cover lays flat when shut even after being folded backwards during phone use? I have a Nilkin flip case on my Nexus and after fold it backwards it wont lay flat when closed anymore. I just ordered the flipbook for the m7 and am going to be really bummed if it suffers from the same problem.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks and I always fold it back and still lays very flat. It's a nice well made case and seems like the more I fold it back the flatter it lays.

Wonder if its for the the F-240 (I think thats 's the Korean model number for the OG Pro)
Anyway, the free black one they sent me for pre-ordering mine is supposed to support it. Guess I'll try it out sometime though I'll never use it. (Just don't like the flip covers, but that's just me.)

For those of you with AT&T our flip cover does support wireless charging. I bought the LG WCP-300 charging disc and it works perfectly with my flip case.
Original back casing and the AT&T Flip Case both support wireless charging. Also using the LG WCP-300. On my N4 it made noises when starting and finishing charges. No beeps when charging the LG OGP.

I put the Flip Cover on this weekend. It makes the phone a little thicker, but very nice to hold. Wireless charging also works good. Since it turns the screen on/off automatically it will help keep the power button from wearing out, as well. :good:
Can you please provide the link to where you purchased it please thanks

I have this case as well, and it even works with CM 10.2!
Is there any way to protect the back cover? I'd rather have a TPU or some sort of actual protection, but for all the beauty of this case, the back cover doesn't increase protection from drops or scratches.
Anyone used a skin with it?

[PICS] Got my Poetic Slimline today

So mine shipped way earlier than it was supposed to (i think it said Aug 23) and so far it seems like a great case considering what I paid for it.

I'm not exactly a fan of the leather but it does seem pretty nice as well as the microfiber inside.

The Poetics have a awake unlock when you open it. Not sure on the official travel rubber case.
What's the difference between this and the Moko? I know of the physical differences but I'm asking about the feel or why one would think either is better then the other?

Any issues with the magnet being too strong and triggering the sleep/wake function when folded all the way back? I know the one for the 1st gen N7 had that problem.
Also, how flat does the cover stay on the whole screen, especially after it's been folded into stand mode?

The magnets seem just right, and they only trigger sleep when you close it.
As far at the cover staying flat, mine doesn't want to go completely flat but I assume it will go away over time.
mine shipped out yesterday, can't wait to get it.
On the first gen nexus 7 i also had the same exact case. VERY VERY nice and fits secure and snug. i love this case and can't get over how cheap it is
I'm torn between this and the Moko. Some people say the Moko is better while others say Poetic. Ordered the Moko but it's shipping out on the 23rd so I still have time to cancel and order the Poetic.

Looks like Poetic case has better protection for the side buttons and the bottom of the tablet. So i ordered poetic.

hows the front cover fit/sit? my poetic case for the old nexus 7 didnt fit perfectly, it was kinda off centered.
the moko's front cover looks off in the pics that people have been posting...
Mine fits perfectly. It does have a bit of a gap when the flap is closed shut, but it isn't something that will bother me. This case exceeds all my expectations for the quality.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The poetic fits better than the moko. I have both.
Pros
Three magnets on the side to keep a secure closure.
Doesn't open by accident easily when carrying.
Very snug
The button cut outs feel better.
No metal tab (I know some were worried about this)
Adds very little bulk.
Con's
None that I can think of but maybe it costs a little more than the moko.

I hope mine ships soon. From what I have read this case is a home run. Especially for five dollars

Mine has shipped..base on the expected delivery (8/29), it's loaded on a pack-mule and making it's way from the west coast to the east coast.
I have a $nugg case for my N7-2012, which I live very much... kinda hoping I'll be happy enough with the Poetic to save the $$.
How does the stand functionality work? Is it stable?

Only 2 things wrong that I can see...
1. The fold is on the bottom so I would have to cut a hole to charge if I want it charging closed closed.
2. The case has magnets in each corner and it tricks the tablet into thinking the s-pen has been removed turning ON the tablet when the case is closed so either you can: remove the bottom right magnet, load a non-TW rom, or remove the s-pen apks

The s-pen has a magnet inside it and once it goes into the tablet it interacts with the tablets magnet.

I can confirm that this case is almost useless due to the magnets in the flap. It constantly tricks my Note into thinking the S-Pen is removed and causes the screen to unlock. It's too bad because I think the material and the case feels ok.
I'm using cyanogen mod and the s-pen still works without turning on the tablet.

I bought this case because it is exactly what I wanted.. A snap in back and a trifold slim front. I have not experienced the problem you guys are reporting with the spen censor being triggered when the case is closed, HOWEVER, if I have the cover flush against the back of the case, that is when the magnet triggers the censor. This doesn't bother me since it doesn't affect the tablet when the case is closed and when I have it open I usually like to keep it folded in the triangle and it doesn't trigger the censor that way. Hope this helps.

The SPEN sensors on my Note are triggered when the case is closed and when the flap sits against the back. The ONLY time the screen isn't unlocked by the magnets in the case is when the flap is folded in a triangle.

I am also looking for this kind of leather case.
However it is only an option for my when the lid has a built-in magnet for waking the device.
Until today I wasn't lucky. Every seller, that I contacted wrote back, that this cases have no magnet for waking. :/
That looks pretty good. I'm just waiting for a flip case that has both sleep/wake function and a notification light cut out.

However I am not gonna pay such an amount for a "piece of (maybe artificial?) leather", when I can have nearly the same for under 10€.
Furthermore I can't even buy hardware over Google Play in my country. (Austria)
