You mean besides the TYLT?

The orb wireless charger that launched with the nexus 4 works well for this.

Of course. It has a standard micro-usb port.
In case someone hasn't noticed, all of the official Samsung accessories are on the amazon UK website for pre order

Slash gear has the pictures of the whole bunch of accessories starting from the flip case to the Vehicle mount.

I am looking forward for some cool vehicle mount this time from samsung lets wait and see if worth the shot.
For vehicle mount I think I will stick to Brodit. Mostly because I already go the base mount installed in my car
I believe they are doing a blood pressure monitor attachment. I might get one of these for when my credit card statement arrives.
I would love to get those flip cases

thanks - although that's quite expensive...especially those screen protectors.
I got my set + a silicone protection for £4, here they are charging £12 just for 5 protectors, which I doubt are cut to shape.

Nexus 7 + PS3 controller + Shadowgun.... Android Jelly Bean FTW!!

Nexus 7 (Check the Video) + Sixaxis Controller + Shadowgun THD = Holy Crap!!! Easy to set up, incredible performance GET SOME!!!
yeah, gta3 and dead Trigger are amazing, plying with otg cable and 360 control

Do you know for sure that that's the right stand? The Arkon stand looks like the middle part would stick out at the back in landscape orientation, but I can't be sure.

Yes, good eyes. Set up like it is in the linked photo it would be too tall but it's quite flexible.
I bought it for my Xoom but it works great in portrait and landscape.

Awesome. What's the farthest you can angle it back without the back part jutting out?
I'm gonna buy one now. Definitely worth 8 bucks.
Its all the way back in the pic and video above. Nice angle for viewing.

For the stand , try a pad pivot. Love mine
I started with the Arkon and then upgraded to the Belkin FlipBlade Adjust which is much more to my liking.

Let's talk about Docks.

I'm going to miss using my pogo dock for my gnex, but wireless charging sounds cool. Are there any good dock recommendations out there? I use my phone as a clock so something where it's also a "stand" is what I'm talking about. Please post up any links!
I have a nexus 4 orb charger that I actually bought for my nexus 7. It's pretty awesome but a bit expensive. It's angled so you can see the screen but grips my tablet really well.
https://play.google.com/store/devic...ess_Charger?id=nexus_4_wireless_charger&hl=en
There's also a cheap knock-off version that I bought (it doesn't say nexus on it) to keep at work.
http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html
It doesn't have that magnet-like hold on my N7 that the real one has but it might be OK for a phone.
But I would wait for this one...
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/
I wonder what the charging time of the new pad will be? Kinda like the look and idea but 4hr charge? Ha. I heard Sony is making one (or working on one) that sits the time in half but it probably won't be out till 2015
not the wireless dock, but if you guys remember samsung desk dock for infuse 4G, nexus 4 was kinda loose on that dock. Since the N5 is a bit wider, i hope it will fit on it perfectly!!!
Fingers crossed :good::good::good: :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Does anyone has the infuse 4G dock?
I like the orb thing, but I actually might just buy that nexus brand pad and maybe build some kind of dock for it.

This won't prop the phone up, but you could probably find a way.
I've been using it for about 2 months, works great, makes a quiet noise when connecting, works will all my cases.

It's not much bigger than a Galaxy Note. Funny, I actually used it to stretch out a leather pouch for my gNote.
FWIW I just bought the Nokia QI charger (DT-900) from AT&Ts website - $24.50 w/free shipping.
I read a review that went over the Nexus (old version), LG and Nokia one and chose the Nokia one as the winner... so... yeah.

The vu is my favorite of the 4 qi chargers I have. There no fiddling if how to place it. It's worked every time right away. It is more expensive (I got it for half that when it was kick started).

Ha ha! I am in the exact same boat as you! I've been using the Infuse dock for my Gnex and am cautiously optimistic for the "fit" with my freshly-ordered N5! I don't mind it being a little loose ... Just hope it's not too snug.
(Wait... Did I really say that ^ ?)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Let us know if that works!!
I've been think more about the wireless charging dock and I don't see a practical way it will work. From my research, people say their phones barely charge, and sometime discharge when day dreaming on a wireless charging pad. So for me, not being able to use the dock for day dreaming a clock defeats the whole purpose of having a dock. Wish it just had pogo pins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I use the orb for my n4 and the Nokia dt-910 for my n7. my n7 daydreams as my bedside click and it charges just fine. the 910 is a bit nicer than the orb imo, but the n4 had issues with it so hopefully the n5 is OK. it works perfectly with my n7, and I'd recommend either
I bought a Kidigi universal dock only to discover that the micro USB socket on the phone is oriented differently than most phones. It's back to front!
It looks like Kidigi has some new docks coming out, including this one for the Nexus 5:

It doesn't seem to be on sale yet but i'll be keeping an eye out for it.

with the amount of bulk they added, you'd think they'd include some extra battery.
Got this case in a few days ago. The charging works rather well, but there is definitely added bulk...

Fyi... It has a huge block charger, and is NOT microusb. Nokia has to make everything their own way...
I am actually going to be attempting to open the device up and solder on a microusb next week when I get my car dock. Going to try to do a Qi/NFC car dock.
i hacked up my $20 charger and did a stealth install in the pocket under my stereo:

I don't think that Nokia one works for the Nexus for some reason. I bought a Lumia before and they gave me two for free. I gave one to a friend who had a Nexus 4. It does charge but it doesn't do it constantly. It goes on and off. Idk...good luck

I did one of those too. Just warning you since no one warned me. The magnets from the qi will mess up the nfc. Won't work to have the nfc right on top of the qi. Good luck though, i still love my homemade qi dock

Oh really? I think I might as my friend to hand that over...cause he dropped his Nexus 4 on ice shoveling snow last week; cracked screen.
Think you'll find it's 12v so no need for a charger in the car, just wire it straight in...with a fuse obviously!
Any good deals for us folk in the UK?
How well is it working for the Nexus 5?
I've been using one of these Nokia dt900s for a year or so now. First on a Nokia 822 then a droid dna and now the nexus 5. I have had no problems what so ever, seems to work better on the nexus than the others because it still charges even when the phone is crooked. Also anyone know if all att stores are having a sale on it? Good Christmas presents.

I picked up two of these chargers on clearance at a local AT&T store in Austin, TX. Seems it's not a sale so much as they're trying to get rid of them. I got the last two in my local area. Check stock online and see if you can find any anywhere. I had read some reports about the phone getting really warm on this charger. I charged it last night using one and it worked great. The phone didn't have a hint of heat this morning. I'm very pleased.
