The aim of this thread is to survey what accessories you decided to use with this awesome tablet. There are other threads which have very detailed reviews and recommendations so let us just keep this simple for easy read. List the accessory, it's function only if not obvious from name, brand, price if you still remember, and where you bought it. Links are good too. If you want to add your .02 for buying then feel free to add them as you wish.
For example:
case : mobo : $14.99 on Amazon
screen protector : bodyguardz : $18.95 on Amazon
stylus : El cheapo from dollar store
If this is a repeat thread, I did not see the original and will delete thread promptly. Thanks.

this is my wife's setup, i got the 5 dollar folio case instead of the TPU a more expensive stylus
I have 2 N7's. For the one I keep in the house I have a "i-blason slim leather portfolio auto wake/sleep stand case" in black, (Amazon $19.99) a sgp steinheil crystal clear screen protector, (Amazon $21.99) and I bought a pack of two stylus from T-Mobile ($19.99)that are also pens, they're really nice.
For the other N7 that I take with me to work, use as a gps, etc...I have the "extact tpu x design hybrid case in black, (Amazon $5.95 with free shipping) crazy on digital clear screen protectors, (Amazon $4.85) and I keep the N7, with the tpu on, in a "Mofi 7 inch zip tablet sleeve",(Amazon $9.99) it's green and has Andy the android on it...love it! I also have a "blurex ultra slim multi view stand case" in black, (Amazon $12.99) I switch back and forth between the tpu case and the blurex on the 2nd N7...depending what I'm out and about doing. I also bought a "belkin" stand for watching movies when I don't want the N7 in a case...the blurex case doesn't have anything around the screen like the i-blason does, it's a completely bare screen except for 6 leather clips on the corners to keep the N7 in place. I bought a pair a skull candy ear buds in red, (T-mobile, $19.99) love those! I think that's all I have for accessories right now for both N7's. I bought 3 stylus (styli?) on Amazon for $1.15, they came in a pack of 3, bought them before I found the ones at t-mobile...prefer the ones from T-Mobile, much more nicer, they are skinnier and the rubber tip is firmer.

a while ago, i bought a prepaid cricket android phone + bluetooth speaker deal from bestbuy for 50 bucks, i sold the phone for 50 bucks on craigslist and got the speaker for almost nothing
http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/372...aker-red-reviews/reviews.htm?sort=helpfulness
since i found the nexus 7 speaker to be kinda weak, this small portable bt speaker is nice to have as long as you don't pay too much for it
The app "volume+ (volume booster) " by Meltus, helps the volume on the N7, like A LOT!
Case: Treegloo case-Black green inner lining, wood frame with suede lining with kinetic latch system.
Stylus: Kickstarter Solid Titanium Pen + Stylus-on order
Screen Protection: Xtreme Guard-wet install
OTG Host Cable: None
screen protector ，micro sd card reader with otg cable
This is a little video reviewing the case that I am rocking at the moment. Sorry it's a bit rough, you tube destroyed the aspect ratio. Please like it to help me out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2iOw0tqkvk&feature=plcp
Case: CaseCrown Bold Standby Case
Stylus: Dollar Store unbranded
OTG: Chinese cheap-o via amazon
First cheapo-until-something-better-was-available cover: KaysCase S-Line TPU
Nice color options, fits the tablet well. Standard TPU case but I liked the blue color and the simple design.
Primary cover: Official Asus Travel Cover
I actually like it, I just wish it came stock as a smart cover that held itself closed. I added a tiny thin magnet to the front flap so at least I get the smart function. I could probably solve the "doesn't hold itself shut" issue if I cared enough, but it suits for now. I'd like to see the other colors from Asus, especially if they come with a built-in smart cover. I also want to see the Premium Asus case when it's available.
Screen protector: amFilm Premium Screen Protector Film Clear
Basic dry application screen protector. Gets the job done cheaper than some, two pack in case you mess up the installation.
Stylus: Boxwave Evertouch
Feels lightweight and kind of cheap, but the mesh tip glides smoother than any rubber one I've used. Good color options.
OTG Cable: Need to purchase, but I just saw this 4-in-1 connector in another thread, and it looks promising, though a lot more expensive than the <$1 Hong Kong cables.
Gamepad: So far I'm just using my Wiimote/Classic Controller because it's what I've got lying around. Works well enough for emulators.
Skinomi Black Carbon back and sides.
Steinheil SGP Ultra Fine Protector.
Right Angle OTG cable.
Arkon Vehicle/Smooth Desk Surface mount.
CrazyOnDigital Car Adapter (Not here yet).
Future: Pelican 1055, waiting on Otterbox. May get a Gumdrop case if Otterbox is stupid enough not to make a case.
RF
Treegloo Cover
Martin Fields Screen Protector
A right-angled OTG cable
I bought this set for the tpu case but it came with lots of extras
Otg cable, 3.5 mm to 3.5mm, 3.5mm splitter, ear buds with answer call button, USB cable, retractable USB cable, 2100ma wall wort, car adaptor, hard rubber tpu, fake leather book case, screen protector, necklace felt storage bag, a stylus.
The book case is well made but I did not like the fit the buttons at the bottom had a cutout the rest of the bezel was covered in the fake leather.
The tpu case I liked a lot more it fit well just grippy enough still had to make 2 holes in it for the ir blaster and the 2nd microphone.
Otg not supported on the tab 3 I used my s3 to test the cable and it worked. I have a zagg protector on my tab ATM when it gets worn out I'll try out the one that came with this kit I feel like the kit is on the cheap side definitely not worth the 99.99 amazon says it retails for but for all you get it is worth getting at what i paid. I paid 32.99 with free shipping at amazon it was on sale when the tab 3 first came out for 26 i really wish i had jumped on it then.
A note about what i received they say they will give a fish bone wire keeper for the headphones but what i received was the otg cable. Looking at the entry for it on amazon the 10.1 comes with a otg cable so i doubt anyone will get the fish bone wire keeper.

Ok, so I have my brand new G2. Looking at cases, but have to be cautious because I plan to pick up a QI charging pad very soon. How thick is too thick? This is a VZW phone by the way.
I'm looking at the two piece snap together cases on ebay like this: LINK
Reason being is I plan to cover the case in white 3M Di-Noc (carbon fiber pattern).
Thoughts? Recommendations on a thin hard case that covers all four corners and edges that won't block the inductive charging?
Wife and I both have the Verizon G2 and we both have cases. I have the Incipio Feather and she has the Diztronic tpu case. Both phones charge just fine on two different qi chargers(Nokia dt-910 and LG wcp-300).

I am very impressed with the fit and quality of the Puregear Case. Also if you enter Pure50 in the coupon code spot its 50% off bringing it to like $12.50 shipped. I wrapped the clear portion of mine with carbon vinyl as well.
http://www.pure-gear.com/slim-shell-case-for-lg-g2.html
Also for wireless charging I am very impressed with the Tylt Vu. Have them around my house for my G2, my Nexus 7 and my Droid Maxx. It works flawlessly on each of them and places them at an angle so you can see them. Hope that helps a little.

You don't have to worry about that case you linked as it seems it's pretty thin; judging from the back shot, it looks to be as thick as my Diztronic case and that charges fine with Qi chargers. With that said, the Diztronic is only like 10 bucks and it's a well-made case. Though, that ebay one is cheaper and it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I tend to change cases/screen protectors a lot until I find one that I like, and the money spent really isn't an issue for me as long as it makes me happy.
I heard somewhere that you have a few CM's on clearance for the Qi charging to work, and I doubt that a case would be that thick unless you got some Otterbox or something.
I have the Incipio DualPro and wireless charging works fine on the Nokia DT-900 (picked up a few when they were on sale at AT&T).
My G2 will.charge through a magazine. As long as it's not metal you should be fine.

as the thread basically says it all, I'm looking for a case that will work with QI wireless charging for the G4. i like the spigen stuff but it doesn't appear to work...
I have been using the newisdom upgraded chip and tylt vu charger combo and havent had any problems charging with the spigen neo-hybrid, verus thor and urban armor gear cases.
The Spigen Air Cushion Slim Armor case works with the NeWisdom upgraded Qi chip without any issues with my CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger.
The Diztronic matte TPU case works too

I've got the Spigen Slim Armor case, with a generic wireless sticker and have no issues with wireless charging with either my Itian 3 coil charger or generic puck.
Youd have better answers to the question, "which dont don't work with qi".
Because most will

Interesting. I have the Diztronic case you're talking about and the same charger, but a Yootech receiver. It works fine without the case but won't charge with the case. I've also tried the first version of the Samsung charging pad and it's the same result so I guess I can call it the receiver.

I have no problems using the CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger with the Diztronic case either. I purchased my QI wireless sticker from ebay. Shipped from china or something, not sure on brand.
Any leather back-cover (like the original one) that works with QI charging WITHOUT needing to make the "sticker modification" to the shell?
If not, what is in Your opinion the best wireless QI charging sticker for LG G4?
Thx!

this combo did NOT work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NWMI07S with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V51QOXA. its VERY finiky
I have the Spigen LG G4 Neo Hybrid Case - works perfectly with a wireless charging back ... charges quick and doesn't heat up.

As far as I know there is no official leather cover with qi. Nevertheless you can buy some from china with attached sticker.
I've attached a sticker on my own leather cover and it worked approx. 2 days perfect. But since then no connection and I wasn't able to fix.
Qi charging lg g4
I just cut the front door off a quick circle case and put g4 in a bumper case. Works fine. Better than messing with qi stickers
i got one of these..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151745479...49&var=450942342923&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT works perfect surprisingly and only £7
I have a Otter Commuter case https://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Com...8&qid=1464832541&sr=8-4&keywords=otter+box+g4 works fine and very heavy duty, dropped many times with no problem for phone. 2 pieces.
Talking about screen protectores, cases, cables, adapters, anything .
I'm kinda waiting for Zagg or any other high quality company to start selling stuff for the Nexus 5X.
Ordered a Cruzerlite case and spigen tempered glass screen protector
I just ordered the spigen tempered glass protector, but I am getting one of the adopted cases from the Google store.
I ordered the case from the play store. The black one. Not sure the name but it looks like its fuzzy on the back. Also a usb-c to usb-a wire from play store for $12.99. Still thinking about screen protector. What's the consensus? Is it gonna lay flat or what? Lol. I haaate the nexus 6 situation with the halo effect.
I didn't hear any mention of a curved screen so it should be fine
Are the tempered glass protectors that much better? I've never used one, always just gone with the sticky film type screen protectors, but wouldn't mind trying something new.

Would also love to hear an answer for this, I always go bare-glass, but I'm ready to be told that my ways are wrong.
I'll never go without tempered glass.. My phone has fallen face first a few times and it broke the tempered glass screen protector and the screen underneath was perfect still
Anybody hear of any good body wraps that are clear. I just need protection without hiding the phone. I kind of don't want to cover this phone up with a case

Ordered a case and USB C to A cable set, combined price of $28.98 for four cables and a .5mm TPU case. check Amazon for these:
- Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables
- Nexus 5X Case, Nexus 5 2nd Gen Case, REDShield® [Clear] Slim & Flexible Anti-shock Crystal Silicone TPU Skin Protective Cover for Google Nexus 5X /Nexus 5 2nd Gen 2015
Not sure about the case though... anyone used REDShield ones before?

If you're not careful with your phone (or just have bad luck) then glass is the way to go. The glass protectors are 9H, so really scratch resistant. I'll be going bare since there will be no ridges when gliding my finger across the edges of the screen

Same here. Plus, they feel silky smooth compared to a film.
I've never used tempered glass, do they cause problems with any cases, like the thin TPU variety?

I've used tempered glass on my G3 and M9 both with TPU cases. No issues here.
I will be getting one for my 5X when it arrives.
Some USB-C to USB-A cables and a screen protector.
No case, I prefer "nearly naked" - so I'm going to wait for somebody to put out a good quality skin. I have a black leather skin from Slickwraps on my Nexus 5, I think I'll go the same way with the N5x.
I tried a tempered glass screen protector on the N5 earlier this year, and it cracked after about a month. Same thing happened to a tempered glass protector I had on my Nikon camera. No tempered glass for me.

The Qualcomm Quick charge spec is only for Micro USB connector based chargers.
The USB 3.1 Type-C spec includes it's own charging standards, to get the fastest charging we are going to need native Type-C charger. The ones on the Play Store, obviously should be fine. Otherwise I would be very wary of anything that doesn't have a Type-C port on the charger. Even with that most of the third party chargers probably don't conform to the entire Type-C spec yet.
I have not seen a car charger yet that I have any sort of confidence in providing fast charge capability.
