I really want to know how many people will be using the s pen with the ultra. I love my note, and it will be a bit of an adjustment but the s pen cases from Samsung look a bit lopsided, I'm not sure I like them

Did you get the charging mount as well? I was curious if it worked and if it is strong enough to hold in a car.
Anker Wireless charger, Buds Pro, Spigen case with a S pen holder (I found it to be better than the silicone one that you can buy from samsung, getting the pen out seems easier to me.), Baseus 65W charger with 2 type C ports and one type A port for the fast wireless charger. and the whitestone dome screen protector. Don't think i need anything else. Other then maybe a case for my Buds pro dock with a clip to put on my belt loop or sling bag.
Nillkin wireless charger, Nillkin camshield pro, Gosin active stylus, Mocolo Nano optics tempered glass, Creative Outlier Air, Creative SXFi Amp when on wired headphones.

I'm tempted but Samsung changed the physical dimensions. If they will get a good fit/seal is a crap shoot because of that.

Just ordered a couple of TYLT Vus and I’m considering getting the i-Blason Prime Series Dual Layer Holster Case, http://www.i-blason.com/prime-series-dual-layer-holster-case-for-google-nexus-5-by-lg.html, as well. Anyone have this combination and, if so, does your TYLT Vu or Qi wireless charger work with it? Thanks.

I want to say possible no because of the grooves on the back of the case with the addition of the kickstand. With the kickstand alone, I think that would be hard pressed to work with the Tylt Vu. I have a couple of cases i-blason candygel and spigen ultra hybrid and those two work fine. And keeping in mind the coil looks like it's closer to the center of the phone, based on my usage of the Nexus orb. And because the kickstand is right smack in the middle, you may need to remove the case to wirelessly charge.
On a side note, I have heard the case is pretty easy to remove.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t buy this case. I wound up purchasing http://www.maxboostpower.com/shop/m...stand-fits-all-versions-of-google-lg-nexus-5/ instead and the TLYT Vu and Maxboost case with kickstand work swimmingly together and I figured I’d chime in as the i-Blason case appears similar. While I haven’t looked to see if the phone will charge faster if the kickstand is removed, it appears to be charging plenty fast.
I also have another small post regarding the Maxboost case at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557909.
Cheers.
Are there any cases that work with wireless charging and NFC?
Does the quick cover case from LG bother you that you cannot see notifications?
Thanks

Spigen neo hybrid / slim armor both work. Also Spigen ultra hybrid , rinken fusion
And you can always use a leather hole puncher to punch a hole in the flip cover

I'm using a Caselogy Slim Fit and the NFC works as well as the wireless charging (tested on Nokia DT-900 and Nillkin Magic Disk)
Ive got a Rearth Ringke Slim on and charge wirelessly with any problems.
Are there any otter box defender type cases that would allow wireless charging?
I am thinking of getting the LG quick cover for when I need a little protection. And a otter box defender like case for when I'm out in the wilderness.
Thanks for all the great replies so far!
I'm using the "Spigen ultra hybrid" case (so it says in the product name) and i'm really happy with it. I can say for sure that wireless charging works with this cover, and it also protects the phone very good when you drop it. (Yes I've experienced it)
All these ones that have reviews here on the forum are capable of nfc charging.

It's going to depend on your charger as well. The Google / Nexus charger won't charge through the relatively thin Spigen Neo Hybrid.
Google states in their troubleshooting information that the case may need to be removed.
Its depends on the charger and the case.
Diztronic matte black TPU.
Thanks everyone.
I will be using the newer Nexus qi charger.
Or maybe the Nokia wireless pillow one.
Which charger is better?
I dont have a problem using the spigen neo hybrid and the official nexus wireless charger.
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!
Mods, apologies if this wasn't supposed to be in this forum but I figure most folks selected the Galaxy Buds with their promos.
I did a ton of research on the buds and it looks like the case is super important because you use them to charge, and you also place your buds in there to turn them off. They can be charged wirelessly and via USB-C.
I ordered a case to protect the buds from drops and bumps and found this for under $10.
https://youtu.be/jK9eCbt4T8Y
Pros: Super cheap, less than 10 bucks, dust protection for the USB-C port, ring for carabiner so you can hook it to a backpack or purse.
I bought this one. Around the same price but smoother to the body. Holds really snug too.

biggest issue atm is the buds will fallout after dropping the slippery case. in a busy street, expect people to step on it.
this protective case will prevent case from opening up when dropped.
problem with this case is dust magnet. after some time, dust will collect inside the case, causing less grip on the case. often slipping off position.
I've always used a Seidio Surface case and holster on all of my previous phones, but noticed that they have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a company that is or will be making such a combo for the Pixel 5?
They're expensive, but I've used a Quad Lock case in the past. I used the bike mount with great success, and they have belt clips too. They're rock solid and cannot be accidentally removed from their mounts.

Thanks, but that would be a huge overkill for my needs. I just want a case for some drop protection and a holster so I don't have to carry the phone in my pocket.

I finally have my P5, bought this case, and have ordered the Google wireless charging stand. Does it work with wireless charging?
While this is a great protective case, it's too bulky for my taste, the dust cover over the charging port is a pain to fold back to plug in a cable, and the phone release clip on the holster is very hard for me to manage with one hand.
I've been searching but haven't found anything close to the Seidio Surface case and holster I've used and loved on my previous phones. I've seen a couple similar ones for other phones, but not for the P5. If anyone finds one, please let me know.
Two case/ holster Amazon combinations that work for me: minimal protection and cost is the Aliber case holster - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MX3JFSD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Slightly more rugged case is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D61VH6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The holster that is a perfect fit for the Spigen case is Encase belt cilp for the Spigen Tough Arnor for the S7, the fit couldn't be better.

Let me know how it works for you. I read amazon's reviews and know what works well for some others seem to have problems with; different uses, expectations, and opinions.
Works great for me!

Will do! Just curious, how did you discover that the Spigen holster fits the Pixel 5 with the Spigen case?

I have an old Samsung S7 and the Encased holster (made for the S7 Spigen case), and got the Ultra Hybrid case for the Pixel 5. Looked about right to me ... fit fine.

Cool, thanks!
YES! thanks Tom. I had been using the Pixel 4xl and found a clear case that worked with the holster from Spigen that held my Pixel 2xl. Now doing the same..finding a old Spigen holster that fit a Pixel 5 case.
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for us!
I also purchased.

At first I thought the holster lower prongs stuck out a little too much, but after using it a few days with the ultra hybrid case, I feel they make it easier to insert the phone. It's a secure and smooth phone insert and extract.

The case and holster arrived today and they fit and work great! I especially like that the phone releases from the holster just like the Seidio holsters I have used in the past. Thanks again for the suggestion!
