I got the Tylt-Vu wireless charging Dock and the OEM Samsung Charging back cover for xmas. They work AWESOME together, but my I-Blason cover now does not want to fit so well on my Note 3. Does anyone know of a descent cover/protector that will fit on the Note 3 with the OEM Charging back cover?

I use and like the Diztronic TPU cover. On Amazon, they offer it in a matte black, and a clear gloss. My post count is too low to post outside links here, but just search for "note 3 diztronic". Both will show up.
It fits nicely with the OEM charging battery cover.
I used the same (appropriate version) case for my Motorola Photon for 2 years, and loved it. Super durable, goes in and out of pockets easily, doesn't collect dust like silicone, and has excellent finger grip on a glossy smooth texture. That said, the gloss has better finger grip than the matte finish (though this seems counter-intuitive) in my hands. I use the clear gloss on my black note 3 and it gives it a raw aluminum color. I have seen the clear on white, and it looks white.
For under $10, it is hard to argue with.

I'm still looking into the wireless charging stuff but, what about the wireless charging piece you just put under your current back cover? Here's an example, maybe not this specific one but you'' get the idea.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NFC-Qi-Wire...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item485d5799cf
I mean if it fits under your current cover it should be able to use any case correct?
Yes that good as well its just more convenient and consistent with the OEM backplate. I also have that one but I purchaed the techmatte one.
I go through 2 batteries a day so switching the battery and having to pull and reset the charging receiver was annoying.

Being serious here... but,
How in the hell do you go through 2 batteries in a day? I am still on the stock ROM Rooted with TWRP and just the bloat frozen in TiBu and i get about 10-11 hours of on screen time a day on my note 3 stock battery. I will surf the web for about 1.5 to 2 hours a day, watch my slingbox for up to 4 hours maybe 30-45 min of YouTube a day and maybe a couple hours of music. I go home with 35-40% battery. I don't use WiFi until I'm home.
Now granted i restrict data on most things in the data usage area and only sync email once an hour and i turn off location services unless i need them. I also manually update my contacts (just when i add a new contact) but i still put my phone through the ringer so to speak and can't kill it yet.

No not bragging. Just explaining my setup. Maps will kill the battery yeah but 4 hours a day is ton, but why not just plug in? Also, I use my location when I need it. Some days it's on all the time most it's not. Why let it waste battery if not needing it.
I just don't like my phone draining if I'm not using services. I use NFC tags so when I need stuff I tap the tag and it toggles my services?
But that's cool I was just wondering what you did to use that much battery. I was just thinking 4 hours or more of video streaming would equal the maps usage but maybe not.

I agree that map use can really drain you fast. That was the primary thing that got me used to using a car dock. Not sure if you saw my build thread, but since we have the same phone, OEM cover, and case, along with similar usage, you might want to check it out. It will certainly work for you if you don't already have something that will work to keep you charged while using NAV features. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49542102&postcount=224

The Spigen Bounce case fit over the charging back?
Subscribing. I tried one of those stick on wireless charging receivers. It was finicky to use with a case on and quite working after only a couple of months. Got the new back yesterday. Now I just need a case that will fit.
I use the Tech21 case. It's snug and you have to work it a little but once on premium protection. I'm referring to the soft plastic. I have blue, smoke, and clear.

The bounce will not fit. Tried it in-store with the help of a customer rep. The bounce is made perfectly for the phone and the bulge on the charging cover is too big for this particular case.
Since I'm in Europe and have to go thru a different Amazon or ebay, I was not able to find the diztronic case here. So anyone has anyone else found a similar one?

I am new to this forum so I can't post a link yet.
I purchased it a few weeks ago for my At&t S2. It works great! When at home on the weekends my battery only goes down to about 70% by the end of the day, before it usually dropped to around 30-40%. Although the battery fits perfect the new cover was made to fit only the Korean version of the phone. I used an xacto knife and trimmed the interfering catches on the sides of the new cover so it fit in place. The end catches of the cover still fit. I then placed the phone in a TPU case which fit perfect without any budges or stretches. Actually feels better to handle and still weighs 8 grams less than my old iPhone 4.

Looking at the pictures it seems that the new battery cover is every so slightly larger. Is that true?
Yes, the Korean battery cover makes the back of the phone flat instead of dipped at the bottom. Also recesses the camera window slightly which is good to protect it. Same texture on the new cover as the original one. It's too bad Samsung didn't make the catches the same on both covers.
The battery works w/o reboots when charging via USB?
So, does it say "Near Field Communication" on the back of the battery like the original 1650maH one?
I have an extra 2000 mAH NFC battery for sale. PM me.
The Korean 2000ma battery does say NFC on the back and I have not noticed any reboots when connected to my PC. I actually don't connect via USB very much, just use Kies air which works good.

Would you say that the back would have no problem staying on if you didn't use a case? I have the car dock and a case won't fit, but I think the battery would. Thanks.
I have not tried to carry the phone without the external case. Mine won't fall off but doesn't require much effort to pop it off with a finger nail. I would be uneasy to use the Korean back without the external case. I did have to give up my home charger base because of using the external TPU case, but I felt it was justified by the extra protection provided by the case.
I have a Ballistic SG case on my phone. Would this battery possibly still fit?

I am also hesitant to buy the battery from a foreign 3rd party seller. I spent about an hour and a half on Samsung Korea's website with google translate and I haven't been able to find it for sale on their site.

So I got the Battery today, the battery cover doesn't fit perfectly. I had to get a buffer and do it to both sides of the insertion cover (left + right) for it to be "snugly", though I went overboard on the right side and it's pretty ugly if you look in between the cracks.

Sounds far less than ideal. :-(
The less than perfect fit on the battery cover was not an issue for me. I knew of the issue before ordering the battery. What was important was extended battery life and I wanted to put the phone in a light weight case anyway. The TPU case was a perfect fit and affords a better grip then no case. I am running JuiceDefender in auto mode with a very stock AT&T phone. Bluetooth and wifi are always on and two imap email accounts. On work days I'm usually down to around 70% by night, weekends typically 80% left. I use the phone only on a moderate level, no game playing or videos. Just nice to know I have plenty of reserve left just in case I need a heavy use for a few hours.

Juice defender is so crippling. If you're only using 20-30% all day with JD enabled, why bother? Might as well unleash your phone's full potential, and let it do it's thing. You may only have 20-30% remaining at the end of the day, but as a non-power user, why do you bother using JD? Are you OCD like me and hate seeing less than 75% battery remaining? LOL
It fits perfect now, and it's still thinner and lighter than the original Galaxy S (Captivate)!

Just had this good case sharp feel around the edges but its biggest problem is the charge rate is .5 amps. Our phone prefers 1 amp, as such the phone charges extremely slow and sometimes while using the phone you will actually lose battery. I ended up returning mine, thinking of getting a 5,000 amp battery because of this, tried not to but that's the best option.

i have the smaller 5200 mah extended battery and this case.
Honestly i like them both but i go back to the 3200mah case with stock battery because it charges my phone while i stream pandora all day. .5 charging amp isn't that big of a deal. it still charges the battery for me.
extended is nice too though, but they don't last as long as you would think. (at least mine didn't) unless you buy an expensive mugen one.
Just ordered this up, thanks for the posting! It's everthing I want - mega juice, option to remove without shutting phone down, good looking (no HUMP!), kickstand, and cheap! Could also double as a multi-use external battery pack for other phones, mp3 players, etc. Now to calm my anticipation for 3-4 weeks while I wait for shipping, LOL.

Still waiting in the big boat to cross the ocean. Should be delivered any day between now and Nov 4th hahah.
Battery case showed today. Initial impressions: great feel in hand, very textured and slightly rubbery but slides in and out of pocket well. Fit is ok, one corner could have been molded a little tighter. Nice suade material where the phone rests against case protects phone and keeps from shifting around. The micro-usb fits VERY tight, a bit scary like if I pull hard enough to remove i might break the pigtail cable. Kickstand is cheap/lightweight but works. We'll see if this offers anything near over double the battery life I get. If not, I'm only out 17 bucks. I'll report back in a week or two after it's run in for awhile.

I've been making little videos for the past couple of days since I bought so much little stuff. I'm exhausted. Basically went to a Verizon store, slapped my DNA down on the mat and it started charging. For something to work so well out of the box, I was a little surprised. Usually just about everything requires some kind of setting modification.
What I was really looking for was a case. I hated the fact that they only had a pink and blue TPU case. The Otterbox did show up online, but neither of the two stores I visited had them. For S&G, I went ahead and asked for the TPU case to try it on. It fits pretty snug, and I have other videos on that. What I really wanted to know is if the DNA would charge with the case on. While he was grabbing the case I hovered the phone over the mat. It charged. Good sign there...
After putting the TPU case on, I tested it out and everything worked. As I went home, I was thinking that the case would probably make the charging really slow. By the end of Black Friday my phone was pretty much dead. I got home, put it on the pad, and it does charge alright. I'll try to run the phone down twice in the future to compare the factory charger with the mat.
With the Otterbox Defender Case
EDIT: Added the video of the Otterbox Defender case. A little less forgiving on the placement. Expect charging times to increase even more. Even with the TPU case it looked like the charge took twice as long as with a MicroUSB cable. This is okay if you're going to have it on the charger more due to ease though.

Removal of Speaker from LG WCP-700
Many people don't like the speaker because it will cycle once charged and beep over and over again. Other solution would be to get use to it or take it off the charger once it is charged.
Thanks for this! I know a lot of people asked for that. I believe this charger is from the older gen of the wireless charging standard which allows for a distance of 4mm. So most cases should be fine. Don't quote me on this but the newest revision of the qi standard allows for 40mm which will be very nice. (good for building into desks and such)
Also as a fellow owner of the LG pad, having that extra distance would be nice because sometimes the phone has to be readjusted to get it to work.
Also works perfectly with the Verizon Shell/Holster combo. I keep the shell on for the built-in kickstand and it charges without issues.

No problem. I'm going to have to look at the standards now. I didn't think I'd enjoy this feature as much as I do. That was probably because I assumed the phone had to be naked.

The otterbox defender case makes wireless charging almost not worth it but i can attest that it does work with the Lg pad from verizon.
Kind of depends on what you're goal is here. I think the wireless charger was designed for longer use from the beginning. Times when you ordinarily wouldn't go through the hassle of putting a phone on the charger, you can.

exactly,,after I looked again that silk screen it would have blow the deal. But the concept is good. The N3, really think missed the mark on the chrome surround rim it should be much gippier/sharp edged. after a couple weeks use still not used to it. It looks great and speaks to the history of phones that had a solid horizontal sheet of steel in them, is retro Bond like, but it is just too slippery I just ordered a bounce case to see if I'm more comfortable handling it. I haven't been able to relax with it yet moving from desk to car to home to it's most common spot Oxford shirt pocket.(a la pen protector IT nerd.). Ultimately I want a soft zipper less bag on belt loops that has room for 7 cards and USB key but the phone should still be grippier in hand.

Not much money for cnc billet, if it meets your requirements GET IT. if you zoom browser on the bronze assembly it looks like there is some foam tape along the edge where the phone makes contact. Seems like a real engineer has been influencing this build at some level. I'm in the auto industry and foam and glue are the bread and butter of building.
If it had micro cut machining along the edge I would have already bought it.
They really do make your phone look like a giant iPhone lol its looks good tho. But not a apple fan

I bought one, If I build my ideal belt pouch I think this will be much nicer than the Bounce for phone alone, 20$ for billet machined is too good to pass up regardless of what from it will eventually take. I'm anticipating the anodizing to be rather thin but that may be good or bad. torched or steampunk look is possible.
also men of the world keep your finger nails short, even if you don't work, at least pretend.
I just purchased one also, just too s*xy looking to pass up
Im planning to use with a Qi charger and reciever I bought two weeks ago. I'll not be using the stock battery cover so hopefully it will work fine.

Me too, I set out thinking the stock S View wireless would be perfect but this weekend I've change my mind. Have an off market sensor and charge pad rdered and just gonna roll with it. If it doesn't work well by that time the stock kit will be available and we can start over.

1 161130987126 Ultra-thin Luxury Metal Aluminum Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9000 BK
Should be 4 days to 3 weeks if my previous Hong Kong / Singapore experience is correct. Usually Hong Kong is most erratic. China and Korea are pretty much 4 to 5 days regardless.
I was so about to get one of these for my note II, but it was $70 back then, plus it came out around 6 months after I got my phone, wasn't going to buy an expensive case when the new phone was around the corner...
Now I ponder to get this or stick with my flip cover, I love the S-view case and the flip cover on my note II was nice too, but this looks oh-so-nice

ooh just realized this case has screws, no go for me, I swap batteries all the time... That's too bad :crying:
[/COLOR]That's not an issue for me thankfully. My battery lasts pretty much all day starting around 6am so I'm happy. I've also ordered the Anker 3200mah battery which prople are saying lasts longer then the stock Samsung so keeping my fingers crossed.
You could always use an external battery pack also for emergencies.

I have an Anker 10,000 Mah for my Nexus 10, but even then I hate to leave my phone plugged in all the time, and I use hotspot all the time, which eats battery for breakfast.
will an extended battery fit under the stock case? and isn't the stock battery 3300 MaH?
I haven't seen any extended batteries that fit under the stock case and I doubt they exist. There are some on eBay rated higher MaH but those are definitely bs.
Stock Samsung battery on the Note 3 is 3200mah

Yea ur right its 3200. 3300 just has a better ring to it.
And ebay batteries I wouldnt trust, I used to buy the cheap ones back when I had the evo line, but ever since I went samsung I always buy oem through the carrier, better warranty support that way too

That is really sweet looking, I'll wait for a review from one of you guys and if its positive then Ima getting one too lol
I wasn't sure if this should go in the Q&A thread, as it's a question about accessories -
I just bought a Note 3 and have a $100 gift card to Best Buy - it seems like the only cases Best Buy has in Canada are either the S-View case or the regular wallet case.
I wanted to know if anybody can suggest one over the other?
Thanks!

Honestly, I would order something online that has a little more protection. I don't know much about the wallet case but when I bought my Note 3 I got the S-view case with it because it was basically the only thing Verizon had at the time. It's not bad, the window is much bigger than the S4 variant. I liked being able to see my notifications without opening the cover and being able to answer and ignore calls is also a cool feature. As soon as Otterboxs became available I ordered one and gave the S-view to my girlfriend. I don't feel like the S-view would do much of anything if you dropped your phone, only thing the cover is decent for is helping prevent your screen from getting scratched. I payed retail price for my device so personally I want a case that is going to keep it from being damaged.
My answer: go for the Flip Wallet!
I bought an S-View case a few days ago with Amazon and I sent it back today. Here is my experience:
+ the S-View looks great and feels great in the hands! The material quality is great and (I believe) cannote yet be found elsewere in the market
+ you see the caller and can take pictures without opening the flip
+ the flip can be torn 360 degrees when lying on a table
- the little window gets easily dirty from touches, and does not have an oleophobic layer. I found myself lots of times cleaning the window front, back, and my Note 3 screen... boring!
- if you sit close to other people and hold the flip at 90 degrees (half open), it is quite annoying that they can see your screen through the window ...
-when you receive a notification other than a call, the screen will keep off, and the notification led cannot be seen.
Why have I ordered the Flip Wallet Case:
1. gives a premium look & feel to this expensive device!
2. allows a bit of privacy when commuting or during meetings at work
3. it is much easier to make a hole for the status led to be visible (in the S-View you have to drill through a delicate plastic layer)
4. I really like how it stays in my hand, and I don't have to take care where I do put my fingers on it
OK, can't take pictures with the flip closed... who cares.
OK, don't see the caller while calling... I will miss this a bit
Cheers,
K

Thanks a lot bud. Never even thought about the privacy part. The fact that it blocks the led is a bit annoying.

If you don't carry a spare battery around then go for the S View.
If your like me that never charges my phone but just changes battery everytime one is almost depleted then go for the Wallet. Because I open the back cover of my note 3 at least once a day to change batteries. And it's cheaper to buy a back case when it gets damaged due to consistent opening and closing.
S-View has one more weird problem - my phone constantly unlocks by itself in the pocket and start making photos. Sometimes I get over 200 black photos in my Cover Camera album after the day. No way to turn it off

So you're suggesting that the product, sview case or stock battery door cover, will eventually fail? Coming from a Note 2 where I employed the same approach of never charging, just replacing batties, I think the battery door held up pretty well. Actually I ended up replacing the plastic silver frame before the battery door cover.
On a side note, for all the flak you hear in the media about the plastics used by Samsung on their products they hold up very well, the problem is when they start trying to paint them instead of actually dyeing the plastics.

That's how they get you to keep upgrading. Though I think the Note 3 is less prone to scratching (silver bezel) in comparison to the Note 2
I have the flip wallet and it does look cool. However trying to answer a call in a hurry is a total pain. I've now bought an Otterbox Commuter and couldn't be happier.

i have a wallet case and its nice to consolidate the wallet and cell phone in one package. I just started using an s case knock off and if it worked right im sure I would like it more.
I like my S-View case, i've had one since my S4 and it was the first thing I bought when I got my Note 3. I will agree with most of the cons that have been listed, my S-View screen collects lint and such because it has a static charge. The privacy thing doesn't bug me because if I didn't have it my phone would be even more visible and easily seen. Honestly if you feel the wallet case is the better option because you'd like to condense it would be a great buy. I carry a Note 3 and an iPhone 5 (work phone) right now, I love my wallet case on my 5 because it keeps me from junking up a wallet. Either way you go, get what you think will be the best fit for you.
Good luck!
