I have been waiting for this thing to come out since it was leaked, and it looks awesome with the DNA. My last question before I order it is does anyone know what that charge time is like for the DNA? I know it says 4 hours for the N4.

Does anyone have a thicker case and the orb. Wondering how well it works.

Where's the best place to order the Orb from? I'm having issues finding it online


Edit: disregard that. Lol. I didn't scroll far enough down on the Nexus 4 page.

Yes there is a magnet, yes it works with the phone in landscape.

However, it doesn't activate DreamScene or whatever it does with the N4 (also doesn't flip home screens to landscape like it does in car mode).

If you programmed an NFC tag to launch a nightime clock app and attached it to the charger, would it interfere with the way the charger holds the phone in landscape?

Got mine in. I don't believe there are magnets. It certainly doesn't adhere with a click like the Palm Touchstone did with the Pre. That being, it does stay on quite well as long as your not tapping too hard on the corners of the screen. I've been having an overheating issue where the orange light comes on for 3 seconds, goes off for 1, rinse and repeat. Not sure if I have a defective one or something...

I'm glad this was finally released! I just ordered mine. I have the Nokia DT-900 which works well, but my cat chewed the wire and I've been unable to find a replacement. I HATE having to charge my phone through USB. That little cover is so delicate. Mine actually broke off the day before I dropped my phone (shattering the screen) so in a sense I'm glad I got a replacement. I think the phone looks really ugly with the USB cover missing, so I'm trying to stick purely with wireless charging.

    Magnet lightly holds. The surface of the orb is quite sticky and holds it just fine by itself - the magnet is obviously less apparent with a case on.

    No case:

    Thing is pretty awesome.

    Definitely not strong enough to use as a car mount though.

    Works like a charm! Together they're a thing of beauty.

    I doubt it. As long as the nfc tag is fairly flat should work just fine.
