Few Accessory Questions

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a good case for the n3. I want something that is waterproof but think. Like the lifeproof cases for the iphone.

I also want to know if any of you guys have suggestions on wireless chargers.

Thanks!
 
Waterproof? Otterbox.

Wireless charger? Bad idea. (Especially for a phone that can take a 2 Amp charge.)

I respectfully beg to differ.

I have a Docooler wireless charging coil in my Note 3 and a Tylt Vu charging base on my night table. Every night I put the phone in clock mode and let it charge overnight. When I wake up, 100% charge :)

And then the phone generally lasts all day on a charge. My worst case was putting it on the charger at 10 PM with 9% battery left, and by 5 AM it was all charged up again and ready to go. Wireless chargers are admittedly slower than a 2 Amp wall charger: but they will get the job done.

Probably gonna have to do a little GOOGLING for the waterproof variety of cases:

Thanks for the smart ass reply, I'm not just wanting a water proof case, I need a case that can protect it from falls also

Not a smart ass reply at all. Protection from falls? Check the cases thread. Most will do the trick. Protection from water? The number of times most people truly need protection from water, a ziploc freezer bad will do the trick.

I've looked at my friends' iPhones in their "Lifeproof" cases. I don't buy it. The ziplock, I pretty much know what I'm getting into and I know what conditions I'd actually need it in. I'll put my $25 case protecting against falls and a ziploc bag against something like a Lifecase any day of the week. I've run in the rain in sweat inducing heat with a ziploc bag. I've also hiked the Narrows in Zion with not only my phone in a ziploc but my DSLR and lenses sealed in ziplocs. Never a worry.
 
All depends on your needs for the phone.... The right case for the right time.. Me personally i prefer the flip case for work classy enough not to loud... And the outer box commuter for gym and out side work..... Lets face it the the phone is a big investment why not protect the best whey you can.....

Thats why I'm looking for a case I can use all at once. During the summer I'm active around water all the time, So I want something waterproof/water resistant. I don't want one of those shitty condom bag look alikes, I want a case where I can get to everything if I need to.
 
Well the fre life proof is your best bet then...... I was just trying to tell you that the cases you have fit the mood.... 1 case sometimes dosent always cut it...
