Just purchased these two days ago from china, was going to buy a few non oem S View cover and the yijieneng qi receiver to enable the S view function and at the same time have Qi wireless charging, the yijieneng receiver is the only receiver on the market that can be used with the oem/non oem S View cover without modification, this receiver is sandwiched between the phone and the ic on the S Veiw cover.
Recently released is the new Nillkin S View/Qi set.
The set contains the S View case and a Qi wireless receiver, the differences between this and other products on the market is, the S View case does not need a IC, the S View IC is built into the Qi wireless receiver, with this set you must use your existing oem battery cover, the case clips onto the frame of the phone.
With this set, it works perfect, if you need to know, and I think many people wants to know as well, yes you can use this receiver with the oem/non oem S V iew cover with or without the built in IC, other branded and non branded cover can also be used, but you must confirm that the cover does support the S View feature, The cover must have a built in magnet and is located on the front cover about 1.5cm from the bottom just next to the folding area.
About the receiver, apart from being S View/Qi compatible, the receiver is nothing like what people has purchased online, The quality is excellent, this receiver does not use a flexi coil or the copper coil, instead it's the same as that of the sandisk receiver that I have posted before which uses a copper coil eched within a thin PCB.
Model number is covered for particular reasons.
No link will be posted, please do not ask.

the s view ic is built in to the wireless receiver, you will need to use your oem battery cover for this.
this is one of the two available on the market, the other being a non branded one, i will be getting a few more of this, and the non branded one, see which one offer better usability.

it appears to be a quarter of the price of an Sview wireless cover as well!
The receiver will affect the phone NFC feature... There is no top two contacts to work as NFC antenna
I was iffy about the non oem cases thanks for the review!

you can use the default case that is supplied with the receiver, or you can use a oem s view or non oem s view, they will all work.

have you read the information published by samsung regarding the problem.
and yes, this case will work with any version of android. as long as it's on the note 3.
nice, the gold trim on the note 3 is an especially nice touch.
now just waiting where we can get this receiver on our side of the pond....
btw why do Hong Kongese have an infatuation with Korean or Japanese girls lol.

Hello Guys!
I just bought my LGOG and I'm waiting for it in the mail. While it arrives, I've been looking for a dock that supports the phone but haven't found anything yet.
Have you guys know of any Dock that works and fits this phone? I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure it will fit since it's for the S3:
ebay.com/itm/Dock-Cradle-Charger-Adapter-Base-for-Smartphone-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S2-i9300-i9100-/281044938640?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416f956f90
What do you guys think?
yeah I`m about ready to order a desktop dock for a note or note 2 and try it out, I just want it for my night stand, like this one its suppose to have a compliant mico usb so it will flex and move with different thickness of phones still on the fence about it
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...1357149193&sr=8-45&keywords=note+desktop+dock
or one like this
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2032180&CatId=4975
Yeah i only need a dock for charging the phone on my night stand, so i guess a cheap one would do the trick. If no one has tried one yet I guess I'll have to buy one myself to try it out.

well I got the dock today, works with no case, there is no Audio out of the audio jack, but if you have any case on the OG it will not work. but it works for charging
Thanks vstrom!
Good to know. I use a case so I'll probably have to find a really wide one. I will post any findings here.

Now, who's going to be the first to attempt to put the N4's charging coil in the OG?
here`s a dock I just bought from Amazon, the EZO dock it has adjustable front to back usb connector has soft pad for the back and front, looks like it would work with no problem if you had TPU case on your phone, but I use a neoprene slip pouch for my phone so I don`t have case that stays on the phone. pics are below

Probably be easier to get the coil from the Palm Pre (and cheaper to get parts). But I don't think it charges via the qi standard and you would have to use the TouchStone Charger.

Has anyone tried the S3 Dock? I don't think the dimensions are too large for the Optimus G.
i have this one universal dock. it works very nicely. the dock isn't confined to a single device so we wouldn't have to worry out phones being too big.

it should work, cause i have this case and it fits fine because the usb portion of the dock does protrude out a bit.
So I didn't see any threads for this iRainy case that I found on Amazon. It claims to be a "S View Flip Cover Smart Folio Case for Samsung With Auto Wake Function". I'm thinking about ordering it until my Spigen Neo Hybrid comes in to see what it's about.
I figured I'd start a thread for questions on it and because I figured some people might consider this versus the $60 Official Samsung S View case.

Review (in progress):
First Impressions -
Build Quality: 9
Ergonomics/feel: 8
Functionality: 9
So I want to use it for a week or so before I make my final conclusions, but my first impressions are very high. The build is solid, the functionality is spot on (I was a skeptic as well), and the feel is pretty premium for a replica/generic brand. So far I'm very happy to have spent 9.99 for this.
TL; DR In the pictures you can make note of the main big questions:
1. The IC chip is present and fully functioning.
2. The case is snug but not as drastic as some reviews and people would have you think. I think it's appropriate for the style of case.
3. All S View functions activate (power on) and deactivate upon opening case.
4. The volume up and down indicators are present.
5. S View window is nice and sensitive, s pan tested through screen protector and view window.
More impressions to come as I actually use it. As of today I fully recommend it. Might pick up another color.
{Update 12/04/2013}
Conclusion: So after a few days of using the case. I definitely recommend it. It has held up well. The functionality is spot on and has no issues. The feel and look of the case is pretty nice. The only con really is getting used to the plastic view screen because it can get smudged on the inside and outside. Otherwise, great case.
odd that in one pic they don't have the contacts and in the next they do (irainy one).

ups says mine will be here tomorrow, i will let you know how it works.

+1 At $10 this thing is a steal compared to the official Samsung view case... but I need to hear some actual reviews before I go wasting money.

On eBay you can also find them. Maybe a bit more ($15), but with free shipping worldwide.
These looks very interesting. I use a TPU case now that fits in my Samsung generic multimedia dock and an iOttie XL car dock. I'd like to know if these cases will fit in these docks when the cover is folded around the back of the phone. Some pictures of one folded back would help.
Are you sure it came with the pin it shows on ebay it doesn't have the pins

nope doesn't look like it. If i search the original part for the magnetic cable its the same as to the z ultra. The only difference is that the OEM cable I found was white ..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-O...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item338c8c5991
I had my suspicions but to OP ...do you have the source of this release? I can not find any press release saying this is a legit product of SONY. And even so ...why does the magnetic cable have two visible screws securing the contact to the housing?? No one does this..
I was found it on Malaysia forum,don't know where the seller get the stock.

They still working out for you? My biggest beef (which isn't a deal breaker at all) with the xperia Z2 is having to open the water resistant flaps to charge the device! Couple of these around the house and one at work would be just superb.
What is the charging speed like? Similar to the microUSB and/or magnetic charging dock?

Hope this is what you're looking for
I was actually in the Sprint (corporate) store earlier today and saw these in stock, I have one myself on a N900P. Don't mind the damage, it's actually quite a nice case
I have long lost the packaging of course, and Sprint doesn't make a mention of it in their online accessories catalog but I can assure you IT DOES EXIST! A phone call to your local store, or possibly if you can trace it from the serials in these photos...
PS - Here is the rainbow of colors available in 'Note 3 S View'
(Click the second photo in link above)
It's available for alot cheaper than the Sprint store too ofc! GOOGLE
**Edit #98743982 - You requested 'GLOSSY' sorry if this is no help!
Sorry for the lines in the photo below, the case does not actually have these matrix glitches in it, the S3 I happened to grab to take the photos has a few issues :cyclops:
One thing I thought was worth mentioning: I didn't see it noted on the packaging but after ~8 months of having this case, I popped it open today to remove the SD and noticed these pins, the type used for qi wireless charging! I haven't tested it, so no guarantees but surely they aren't in there for decoration
Thanks for the heads up !
Actually no, I am only looking for those which are glossy like in the picture I posted, for the Galaxy S5 ...
I do have a glossy battery door at home - can post photo when I am back home -, but I wanted to know if there exists flip cover, or sview flip cover of the same material as my glossy battery door. The closest and best example of what I want is the s-view flip cover for the S5 which I posted.
Regards

Nope. If there were -THREE- pins then yes, it has an embedded Qi receiver. On the back of the Note 3 there are 3 contacts. If you label them 1, 2, and 3 from top to bottom, then 1 and 2 are for charging (not just Qi either, but any 5V source - pin charging mods anyone?). Pins 2 and 3 are for the special authentication chip that's embedded into the OEM S-View cover which enables S-View mode (there was a big flap about this when Samsung updated the OS and all the third party S-View covers without the chip stopped working).

I had no knowledge of your point, and upon inspecting my cover it appears that my oem s view cover only contains 2 pins. The website claims that it does contain a qi receiver, although I haven't had a charger to test it yet (hopefully next month) Regardless, I thought it worth mentioning that in my inspection it appears (photo attached) as though the 2 pins line up with pins 2 and 3 using the method you describe. Below these two pins is a small green portion that resembles the material that the pins protrude from that states 'A20 DAI' which presumably contains the chip you mention.

Anyone have tips on making a charger stand or dock?
I basically have to have my watch on its face to charge.
Mine charges perfectly fine.. Never need to put it on its face.
I have the gunmetal with the brown leather band. I'm able to set it upright on the band with the band open. It doesn't look great but at least it's face up.
Would a *spit* applewatch stand work, or would the weight of the watch cause it to fall off? Could mould a disc from plastic or something to fit the circle and poke the charger through for the Zen?
You could use a simple wooden dowel with a 45° angle and screw the charging kit on top. (it looks like the old charging kit doesn't fit and we have to wait for a new version)
Built one
I've got the same Idea and built a dual Charger today. Looks great and works great, too

damn, this looks nice.
at the moment I'm thinking about something bigger where I can place all my devices (watch, phone, tablet, battery pack, ...)
Do you know a _good_ charging station with 2.4A? something like this?

You can use this with any Apple Watch stand and you have one for under $30.

Dude that is flipping sweet. In fact I think I will make that tonight. My phone wirelessly charges, so I would want to have a hole on the base to fit the puck. I actually think I would like the phone to be inclined with a footer, so I can just drop it without having to worry about alignment.
Wow what a great idea. It would make great gifts too.
The only problem I would have is I have a metal band that doesn't open, so I would have to make a L bracket so I can slide it over.
Thanks. Pls upload a picture of your finished work
If you want to go cheap I found 2 projects on Thingiverse. In my current city there are no 3D printer (checked on 3dhubs.com), once I'll come back to the University I'll try to print something.

Yes, I actually bought two. It worked perfectly in two different watch stands.
Has anyone found a source for spare charging cables yet? Google Store doesn't allow me to put in cart... Must be because I'm in Canada. :/

I am in the same boat. Would love a spare charger for at work.
hopefully ebay will have these soon enough.
Side note: do you find your watch has horrible connection distance/ always disconnects?

Yes, yes I do. One of the things I have found that helped a bit was to go into the Battery in the Settings, hit the 3dot menu, go into Battery Optimization and stop optimizing Android Wear. Hasn't solved the problem, but it has helped.
Either this is an issue with the Nexus 6P's bluetooth or the Zenwatch 2 is screwing bluetooth up big time. I've been having issues with my bluetooth headphones and with uConnect in my truck too. Eventually I need to take the ZenWatch 2 out of the equation and see if my BT problems go away. But it's been bad.

Thanks for this. I ordered mine from Amazon, and was surprised how well it worked. Bought an elander stand to go with it and it's pretty well perfect. Only wish there was more hardware/software support for this watch, as I'm finding that there isn't a lot out there for it. Shame too, because I think it's a very underrated watch.
If I may make a suggestion, the imprinted logo on the bottom doesn't make for adhering a sticky patch on it all that great.
