Besides the book case I also purchased the "leather" pouch which was quite a waste of money. It's extremely soft and flimsy and feels more like cheap China stuff (which it probably is) than a quality product for about £22/$30.
It probably protects the Tab on a shelf against dust but that's about it. Don't buy!
Can the tab fit in the leather pouch with the book cover on.? If so how much more bulk does it add to the size.? I already own the book cover and was thinking about the leather pouch as extra protection..

No, the Tab fits in the pouch rather tightly. with the book case on you would damage that flimsy something. The latter adds about 4mm in thickness and about 10mm in length.

Hi, just an fyi. I have a nook color and this case for it neoprene case
and it fits my galaxy tab 7.7 perfectly. so if anybody wants a neoprene pouch like i did, and i guess doesn't mind nook branding, it fits like it was made for it.
Does anyone know if the note fitted with the speck case fits properly on the samsung dock that they sell in att stores?
Thanks
Don't think so. I have a case about the size of the Spec and it does not allow the usb plug to seat properly. The SGP Ultra Thin I also have does work with the dock, but has minimal protection on the bottom and top of the phone.

Sorry, it doesn't work. The Speck is too thick and the charging port cutout is too small to make a connection.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.
Seido makes this dock that is made to work with their active series of cases, which is definitely just as bulky, if not bulkier than the Speck Candyshell, so it should work just fine. It's a bit spendy, and only works with portrait mode, but it's still a viable option:

You're welcome.
I thought we'd start a thread to help those with the Official Sumsung Wireless Charging Cover find a case that fits.
Please share a link and description if you've found any. Thanks!

This is what I'm using and works great with the wireless back:

Another one here, too:

These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.
One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.

This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.

Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.
Thanks for the links!
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.
Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.

I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.
This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.
Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Try that insert...
Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in

Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...
I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
I have a poetic case that I love but it's now removed after reading posts from people saying the magnets in the case have caused the digitizer in Samsung Note devices to malfunction. I cut open the case to remove the magnets and there are 15 magnets in this case. That's crazy.
Is there a slim case out there that doesn't have magnets?
Just picked up a Speck case and i don't think it has magnets. Pretty happy with it.
Picked up the official Samsung case for $26 on ebay. Happy with the form factor.

The samsung case has magnetic strip that runs down the middle of the back of the case used to "connect" the case for various standing positions.
The speck style folio from my understanding is one of the very few magnetic"less" style folio cases.
I bought a defender from otterbox, but for around the house I think I will get the speck case. :good:
