Chord will be releasing a plastic case of their own, for the Mojo, soon, and it should look quite similar to this protoype:

So I just got the Mojo today, and when I'm charging it, it's kinda hot when I touch it? And also, it's been over 4 hours charging, and it still not fully charge?
 
Also, does the Mojo decode Dolby Digital 5.1?

Were you using it while charging? If so, it could take longer. It getting warm is normal.

No im not using it at all, I plugged it in and charger right away after I opened it out of the box.
 
Also, how do I know when it's fully charged?  Right now I still see a light purple ish color of the charging light

The light will go off when charged.

Now it's over 5 hours, still not fully charged, so much for 4 hours.

Maybe your charger is only outputting 500mA? It needs to be 1A or higher.

I'm using the USB and charger for my S7 Edge phone.  Im sure it's over 1A, if it's not 1A, I don't think the Mojo would light up

You actually looking into the Mojo at all before you bought it?

It'll say on the charger what the output is. It's worth checking.

Lol, you could have just said READ THE THIRD POST!

Yea it said on the Charger that it's 1.67A
 
Also, do you know how to pass SBX surround from Creative soundcards to the Mojo? Like hooking up the Mojo to the Creative Sound Blaster Z soundcard or Creative G5 ?

Now it's over 5 hours, still not fully charged, so much for 4 hours.

 
Mojo draws around 1A while charging, so any charger above 1A should be fine. Best to have 1.5A+ charger, because some chargers claim higher than the actual output.
 
Higher current charger generally doesn't hurt. Mojo will only draw as much current as it needs to start charging.

As far as surround sound the Mojo doesn't decode anything, just converts the digital bitstream to analogue. It's up to your software to decode the surround sound and feed a 2 channel digital stream to the Mojo, which is a 2 channel device.

I'm using a 1.67A charger
 
I thought for a $600 DAC / Amp should have come with its own Charger.
