I've been looking at purchasing one of these magnetic phone mounts to use with my Pixel 2 xl. Has anyone used it with a case? Specifically between the phone and the case. I currently have the Otter Box Symmetry case on the phone.
I don't have magnetic, but really like my Scosche vent mount!
I use one with my case and I've found that it doesn't work that great unless the case is very thin. Your best options are to either put it on the outside of the case and ruin the looks of it or buy a case with the magnetic plate built in like the Pitaka case .
I didn't know that there were cases with the metal plate in it. I'll check those out. Thanks

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.
I bought the bodyglove case from att.com and picked up a universal bodyglove smartphone pouch this morning at walmart. Now my phone is protected and I can carry it on my belt.

You could probably find a good one for cheap on Ebay

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Not so fast. Apparently ATT just generalizes. Just check the problems everyone is having from this case from the reviews at ATT.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!
So I am looking for the following:
1. Case, the tougher the better, something like Seido or Otterbox, with belt clip. However must work with 2 and 3 without have to taking phone out of case. I prefer built in screen protectors but not a requirement
2. Car dock/holder that allows camera to see the road and must work with case in 1, something like iBolt
3. Desk dock/holder that works with case in 1
Checking with Seido, I have yet to find anywhere, where the dimensions of the cases are published.
Trident Kraken would be perfect for what you need. The back has a clip but can be removed and you can add another accessory to it. Check out their site.

I use the otter defender and a mivizu brand car cradle. Good setup for me, never looked into a desktop dock after hearing the disappointing user comments about the samsung brand one.
+1 for the Trident Kraken AMS. The accessories are very convenient and nice heavy duty metal kickstand. No built in screen protector though, but I love it without one.

so i hear zagg is not way to go....after many forums searches i still cant find what really covers the entire phone and a lot of the threads are dated
anyone have current info on what does? and what is the best? if anyone has pics id appreciate it
also, are all of these thin enough to fit in the car dock? it looks like carbon fiber ones might be too bulky
Seidio offer a two piece solution that I still uses from time to time. I have the plastic kickstand version (before they went with the metal setup). Works well while being as slim as can be.
EDIT. I'm talking about the extended case version.
I'm also using a GNEX right now and I do have a Seidio case with the plastic kickstand. I love the case as well.
I use Platinum Series Deluxe.
Available at Best Buy. It's 3 pieces in the case itself, and then has a holster.
It's a plastic/rubber sleeve, then you put a silicone cover over that, and then you top off the silicone with a hard plastic cover that secures it all down.
Much better than otterbox, in my opinion.
However, a screen protector will be needed.
Covers all buttons, leaves the kick stand available, covers the charging port but has a way to fold it over so your phone can be charged with the case on, covers the headphone jack with a way to fold it over and access it with the case on, even covers the camera lense and also has a built in flap door that you can easily pull back to use your camera.
I recommend this case to anyone.
No more bulky than an otterbox either.

Ditto! Any one have any luck on protection without a case? I'm unable to find one that doesn't make the phone bulky.
Only thing about the 3 piece seidio case I didn't Like was that the 2 pieces that slide over the phone causes the screen protector to move too .. letting air bubbles get in.. dirt too

Hi all,
Just been looking at a few different car docks for my N5 that have Qi wireless charging and come across two which I'm tossing up..
There's the AirDock ($69) which holds the phone via magnets and micro suction foam
iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger, ($72) which has the locking mechanism rather than magnets..
Has anyone had experience with either of these two? I'm leaning towards the Airdock, but my next question is, whether the magnets will work through my Spigen SlimArmor case.... wireless charging works fine through it, so I'm assuming the magnets would too..?
TL;DR- will the magnetic mount work through a Spigen Slimarmor case?
I got an airdock myself. And use a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. The magnets are pretty strong.
And even if they are not strong enough to use with the Spigen Slim armor case. There is a sticker with metal slaps (really thin) wich you could stick on the inside of your case.
Inductive charging will work just fine i recon.
Hope that helped.

That would definitely do it if the internal magnets didn't work too well through the case.. Thanks for your help!
I received the PITAKA MagCase for the Google Pixel 2 XL along with the car vent and suction cup mount. I have an unboxing, overview and review of PITAKA products.
The MagCase is really thin. I have a Caseology Parallax with Seidio Holster and with the MagCase int he Seidio, it bounces around. That's how thin it is. It's as if the phone is naked. I also have the Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass installed and the screen protector and case work well.
I have a Seidio dash mount that comes with thin magnetic plates like the MagMount. For the Seidio magnet plate, I sandwiched it in between the phone and the Caseology Parallax case and it works with the MagMount without a problem. The same for the MagCase with Seidio dash mount.

what screen protector do you have on the pixel?
Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass. Only the best!!!
Thank you for the review! I purchased this using your referral link. I received it yesterday and I must say, I'm highly impressed with the quality and how sexy it makes the phone look. It's got a nice, non-slip feel and you won't even notice you have a case on.
Do yourself a favor and splurge as I promise, you won't be disappointed.

I've gotta ask as I just came Across this case. Does it have more of a soft plastic feel like that of the old Motorola phones? (Droid Maxx etc) or more of a slippery plastic feel like the most others?
I thought videos were supposed to all external links lest we turn our house of den of self advertising Myself I would much rather see links to YouTube instead of seeing the video's all over xda, I mean if we don't stop now don't we already get pounded enough on us in advertising. Just saying...Right. ?
