Case reccomendation for the P7P? (self.askandroid)

Hi,

I'm looking for a case that not only has a screen protector that's not a glorified sticker. But also a way that has a magsafe back so I can use a magnetic wireless charger.

I've seen quite a few that's the former (my current one), a few the latter, but none that are both :(

Thanks!

Can't speak to the screen protector but I bought a really nice case from mous that has magsafe on it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

There wasn't a screen protector for yours right? How is the magsafe though?

Mous was one of the vendors that's only magsafe from what I saw .... Hoping I missed something.

I have a couple of other cases I found on Amazon that have magsafe. I chose to splurge on the mous despite the others being fine. It did not include a screen protector. With the last couple of generations of gorilla glass I haven't worried about my screen.

The magsafe works well. I even bought a magnetic battery bank as well as a wireless charger for my car. Both work extremely well. I'm currently burning through a ton of wallets trying to find one that works for me.

Yeah. My wife has an iPhone and we drive a lot. Thinking to not have to deal with the wires on the dashboard would be great.

Your working with magnets and assuming you have android auto and/or carplay, think outside of the box. I put a magsafe charger under my dashboard near the usb and DC plugs. I also have a vent mount for when I am working (drive for a living so need to be able to use apps but when we go on road trips my phone doesn't block ny view and it's out of the way.

Hydrogel screen protectors are the shit nowadays, they look nice, feel nice, bubbles disappear, come in different flavors like matte, privacy ones etc

For work purposes, I'm considering a Supcase for my P7P, along with their screen protector. The same thing for my 9yo daughter's iPad has worked wonders. A year later, her iPad itself is still in pristine condition.

Edit: I'm a twit. You wanted Magsafe too. For that, I'm considering the new dbrand Ghost case, but that would mean swapping cases for work/non-work, which I'm OK with.
