Here is a list of Note 3 cases that fit with the wireless battery cover.
Please add to this list if you come across other cases that fit.
Updated list as of 3/27/14:
I have tried these cases and can say for sure that they fit:
-Caseology Retro Flex Series
-Poetic Borderline Bumper
-Bear Motion Bumper
I have seen pics and read that these cases fit:
-Diztronic Glossy Clear
-Diztronic Matte Black
-Tech21
-UAG
I have read that these cases fit:
-Mumbi TPU
-Trident Kraken A.M.S.
Will I be as to use the functionality of it once the case is on ?

Thank you.
I just read that Tech 21 fits.
Actually I have the OEM wireless charging cover and just got the Diztronic TPU case and it doesn't fit. I can get 3 of the 4 corners on only. Did you guys stretch out that case or something?
This is a list of cases you can MAKE fit, but they do not "fit" properly. The Tech21 case at T-Mobile can also be made to fit by force, but none of these options are designed to fit the official wireless back, they're just being stretched/forced to do so.
Belt Clip
I recently purchased the Seidio belt clip made to hold the phone with not case. It works with the Samsung wireless charging back beautifully. It keeps the phone tight to my side so it doesn't catch on any seats. I am retired so the chances of the phone being compromised, (short of my error), is slim. I have the tempered glass screen protector so I feel fairly confident that if I drop it the screen will be fine. I also have the full insurance to fall back on. That said the phone is super sexy without a case so I am HAPPY HAPPY.

OK got it. Well one case that fits without stretching or cutting new holes is the UAG case. I have been using it all week and it has been money. A little force to put on but everything is protected and all the ports are open.

Did you purchase the matte black or the glossy clear? I'm guessing the matte black. I have seen pics posted of the glossy clear and it fit fine with all 4 corners over the screen.

You are correct in that there are no known cases specifically made to fit the wireless battery cover. That said, some of the cases listed do fit well enough and require no force. I am currently using the Caseology Retro Flex Series and can slip the case on and off effortlessly. All four corners are nice and tight, and lip is raised all around the screen. The bottom lip is slightly less raised than the top and sides - but it is still clearly raised above the screen so you can lay your phone front side down. The fit around the camera lens is slightly raised, so the camera lens is recessed and you can lay your phone back side down. The bumper cases also fit well without having to make them fit with force.
Hopefully a company will make a case specifically for the Note 3 with the wireless battery cover. Until then, if anyone knows of or hears of any other cases that fit, please post them here.

Here are some pics showing the fit with the UAG case. The only part that isn't clean is the bottom lip where the home button is. You will see some chrome sticking out. The phone isn't coming out of this case though.

:good: Thank you much. I will order one from Amazon.de. Might be better than the Mumbi TPU case that I have right now. I get the small bit of chrome showing on the side edge with it and a little on the bottom lip but it doesn't come off either. I just was looking for some alternatives other than this. I appreciate the information!

Thank you for confirming that the Diztronic black matte does not fit, and for posting pics of the UAG case. How is the feel of the UAG case? Is it hard, smooth, slippery plastic? Or, does it have a rubbery, grippy feel to it? How would you compare the grip to a glossy TPU case, which I feel offers the best grip of any material?
Please see the first post in this thread for the most recent updated list of Note 3 cases that fit with the wireless battery cover. The list will be updated when new info on cases become known.

So the outside shell is hard plastic. I like the feel better than a glossy Tpu case because the case isn't flat on the back and there are groves your fingers can grab. Also this case is thicker than a convention Tpu case. If fells a lot more sturdy and the material is on the thick side.
Overall I fell very comfortable that this case could take a drop and keep the phone safe, if that is what you want.

I was able to fit an Otterbox defender with the wireless chrging back. I pulled the foam out of the inside of the back plate on the case. It takws quite a bit of work to get the clips to lock in. To put it in the belt clip takes a little extra force and I have to make sure to hear the double click. But now i have great protection and wireless charging.

I'm looking for an ultra-slim case that has the tallest lip to protect the display. I'd like to add a Glas.t screen protector, but that adds to the screen's height.
The choices so far are the Rearth Ringke Slim, the Elago Slim, and the Incipio Feather. From what I've read, the Elago may be the best choice. Can anyone who's tried all of these weigh in?
I had the elago but returned it. It didn't have a lip. It also only had three corners protected because one is open for the intl radio.
Also, the top and bottom were 'open' and where I put my pinky finger to cradle the phone one handed hit the case funny.
I'm still carrying naked but ordered a cheap one off amazon
I'll get that Tuesday and report back
It seems like most of the tpu cases have a lip to protect the screen. What's the thinnest tpu case? I've seen the 0.2mm one on ebay, but it' does not have a lip.
Ringke SLIM
Has a small lip across the top and bottom of the case. Minimal bulk, with just enough lip to keep it off a flat surface. Coupled with the screen protector it comes with, it's good protection for laying it face down on most surfaces.
Elago OK!
Saw the earlier feedback, but for what it's worth... my Elago G4 slim has allowed my device to survive four (!) drops so far. I'm very pleased with it, and especially like the feel and "grip-ability" of the case.... which was NOT related to my drops (instead, these were due to my overly "friendly" DOG!... LOL).
From reading other posts, it seems that the Elago has a taller lip than the Incipio, but I haven't read or seen a direct comparison of the Elago and the Rearth. I have read that the Rearth is thinner/lighter than the Elago, but you can tell that the Elago's lip covers more surface area around the display (top & bottom vs both sides).

It does not have a lip what so ever, it snaps/clips to the "chrome" accent around the phone and leaves the plastic bezel surrounding the screen vulnerable and exposed.
EDIT: I also had to enlarge the top noise cancelling mic hole as it was cut slightly too much to the left and blocked it.

of course it doesn't. Oh well. Really like the note naked anyway. Been without a case for a couple days and I'm really getting used to the feel. Does it at least add some grip? Btw...love how At&t made sure to have a cut out for their logo on that screen protector!

Yes it adds a grainy grip, but it also feels slippery after using the phone with a gel TPU case. If that makes sense
I would have not really chosen that screen protector, but it came already installed on the phone. Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Just got the case(or lack there of). Really like how you can barely tell it's there. It offers no protection whatsoever, but I do like the feel. The fit is almost perfect(just a little off on the top). It also hides the rocker buttons from my wandering fingers, so that's nice. I'm hoping the grip gets better with time and not worse...we will see. At least it was only 3 bucks.

The matte black looks cool. However, is it just matte on the back and glossy on the front lip?

Yup. It actually works quite well appearance wise. The gloss actually provides some grip to it around the edges while the matte backing allows the phone to slip in and out of pockets seemlessly.

From pictures, it looks like this case is at least twice as thick as the Elago Slim or the the Rearth. You can zoom into the pictures on Amazon and look at the area around the camera lens on the back of the phone. It's not a perfect method, but it does help to show how much bulk a case is going to add.

I've been using my Spigen slim armor case, but it developed the crack around the volume up button that so many others complain about. I had to use a dremel tool to grind down the thickness of the inside of the rubber sleeve to make it fit, but it cracked the hard case after a couple of weeks. Did the same thing to a neo hybrid I'm using now, but it doesn't fit quite right.

Yea, I think I'm gonna try and modify the case I was using before the wireless cover. I tried the Qi receiver that fit inside the factory door, but I didn't like the way it bowed the cover around the camera opening. ....something has to work
I purchased the spigen case I can not include a link since I'm new here but if you type "Spigen Slim Armor Case for Galaxy Note 3" into the search bar on amazon it will come up. I did have to modify it though. I cut the middle part out of the inner rubber piece. when the case is on the phone it is not noticable since it doesn't show. I just cut around the edge so that the back cover could push through the opening making the case fit perfectly to my phone with the bulkier back cover.

I am also going to try a bumper. (I have a metal one on order but it's coming from China so it's probably still another week out at least.
You would think Samsung would address this, but I haven't seen anything from them on this.

How much of a "flap" did you leave at the top and bottom? Or did you cut exactly where the hard part of the case is?

How much does it pull back? Just doesn't quite cover the lip, or would it affect the headset or charger plug? If you shaved down the inside of the case a little, do you think it would fit better?

If I had to guess I would say 1/8 of an inch. It goes unnoticed and still protects the phone. I actually just ordered the samsung wireless charging s-view case off of amazon. I didn't order it before because I didn't like how it flapped around freely, but now that spigen came out with the magnet clip for it I'm giving it a try.
I have purchased a LoveMei Aliumimum Bumper case (2 piece none screws)
Fits with official wireless back cover. Tempered glass makes it a tight fit.

I tried a mumbi tpu case and it sort of fits. For 7 euros, I was willing to try but I can't get over how much bigger it makes the phone. It's like a brick. Still looking for a case that protects, fits the wireless back, but doesn't add huge amounts of bulk. I'll probably order a diztronic or a tech21 case to just see if it works. Might even look at that otterbox defender even though it doesn't quite fit around the lip. This is just shameful of Samsung to do this without building a case that would go around it. That small amount of bulge is costing angst over cases for us owners but I love the wireless charging. Sigh. Guess you can't have it all. LOL.

Just upgraded from the Note 2 and disappointed to find out Momax did not make the same case that I been using for the 3.
Overall, any opinions on a case that has a kickstand and does portrait and landscape well?

I wish somebody knew. The VZW hard case has 2 way kickstand but fits so tight I broke my volume key taking it off. It also offers no protection on top or bottom only back and sides.
Amzer makes one but I can't find a single picture showing it in both portrait and landscape view.
Please help us find a good case!

I just purchased one. Hoping for the best! Thanks. The Amzer and Aduro are both the same as evil vzw case so i guess no other choices exist

That Reiko case offers great protection aswell.
I am concerned it will interfere with easy use of buttons but we'll see....

You mean like hard to press? If so not at all. It's 2 part case. Rubber inner and polycarbonate skeleton
I use the Trident Kraken AMS, and it has a solid metal kickstand that is also reversible. Also provides superior protection for my phone. I dropped it down 30 flights of stairs at the mall escalator, and not a scratch. It's pure quality.
Probably makes it too thick but I will check it out. Thanks.

Did you mean 30 stairs? 30 flights of stairs = 30 floors!
OK, I bought the Reiko Polymer Hybrid Kickstand Case. It is excellent, in fact I ordered a second one. Now...can anyone suggest a horizontal belt clip pouch that it will fit in? I have one Reiko pouch that isn't quite long enough and another that is so deep it is hard to get the phone out even though it is a perfect fit.
The phone in case is 6.3 x 3.25 x .6 inches. Anybody know a belt clip horizontal pouch it will fit in?
If you can DIY then check my signature.
I'd rather buy one

I still haven't found a manufactured case that I liked which has a good portrait kickstand.
But my DIY case does take a bit of work, patience and care.
Oh, I am very content with my reiko case now. I have seen your thread but did not make the connection. Now I am merely looking for a belt clip pouch to carry my note 3 in its case in. I have one pouch too small and another too large.
My UAG case just arrived today and I'm very excited! These cases have a real industrial, well built, and good look to them. For the note 3 there are four colors to choose from Orange, black, white, and slate. I chose slate because I wanted a flat low profile look rather than the bright orange or white case. These cases sell for $34.95 with free shipping on the UAG website. But can be found cheaper on amazon sometimes.
The overall build seems to be very sturdy along the outside and had a TPU inside so the phone has a soft surface to rest against. The remodeled version of this case has cut outs for all ports and holes. The hole for the pen is very big making it easy to access. The case does come with a screen protector.. It is not the best but it works.
The power and volume rocker buttons are extremely easy to click even right out of the box. They are not too stiff nor to loose they give a satisfying click more so than the regular phone buttons.
This case is thin enough that it is still easy to hold with one hand and the sides of the case provide a honeycomb textured grip so it will not slip out of your hands. Since the case does not have a rubbery back but a more hardened texture it will not get caught in your Jean pockets and slides out nice and smoothly.
Some final touches that are nice on this case are that the back and front of the case has a raised lip in the corners so it will never sit directly on the screen or be in risk of scratching the nice finished back of the case. Also the cutout for the camera is glare free so it will not interfere with the camera at all.
Overall this case built by UAG is a extremely durable industrial looking case which will protect your phone from falls. You will more than likely have people comment on your case and ask you where they can get one as well.

Very nice review, I love my UAG case. Had it on since day one and work in an automotive shop.
Thanks man! Just came back from the gym and while I was on the treadmill I dropped my phone and it landed on the moving floor and shot off into the floor.. I didn't even bother to think twice because I knew it would be protected, which it was!

I got the rust color UAG case in a day ago. Absolutely love this thing. It feels plain awesome no matter how I hold the phone. Looks unlike any other case. Heck even the included screen protector is awesome. Highly recommend this case...

Here's what I'm gonna need ya to do, trade your Note 3 for the Classic White, trade that case for the black/white one, then re-take the pics and post them here.
Just kidding man. Nice write-up and pics. Looks good!

I originally ordered the white case... But changed my mind because I was worried that it may get dirty and went with the slate.. But the classic white with the white and black case would look really nice!

I have a tempered glass protector on. I just didn't bother installing the SP that came with the UAG. That'd be like putting a t-shirt over a bullet resistant vest for 'extra protection'
I use a black UAG case and while it looks really good and does well for protection there is one or two things I've noticed.
First (at least on the black) after having it a while it has started to show scuff marks. This is probably because I don't always set it on an even surface.
Second, I wish the hexagonal side was a bit more grippy. I know that if it were it would be harder to take out of pockets but, just personal preference.
No intention of changing cases and these issues are not enough to make me change cases. I am quite happy with UAG and will look to them first for future phone cases.
The Nilken was out of stock at amazon so I went with the tech armor. Spent some time reading, seems they all work well.

I always thought like uag looked like the end of spigen when I had the uag logo upside down lol
I just got my UAG case, the slate one, and absolutely love it and I have the wireless back and it fits quite well. I also went with a tempered glass protector and had it on before the case so I just kind of chucked the one that was sent with the UAG which was a laugh. Anyhow, I'd buy another one for my next phone in a heartbeat.
Don't hate on the included screen protector... For 1, it's actually decent. I used it until I got my tempered glass in. Second, they don't have to include the screen protector. Most manufacturers these days don't. I really like that they include it. If you tossed it then that was dumb. Always a good idea to have a spare protector around.

Okay thanks man...going to order one today!
I dont want a bumper case with a clear back, or some bumper that has a molded translucent back. I just want a TPU bumper and thats it. even Metal only but really just TPU.
I have the SLickwrap natural series Leather back with the new back replacement as well and still its too thick and I hate that I can see the edge of the leather sticking up. Such a waste of money and time remocing my OEM back just to have the same ugly edge showing.
I had a spigion case with the clear back and I was able to remove the clear part leaving just the rubber surround but the rubber part was too loose as it depending on the back piece for rigidity.
Looking on amazon and all I see are clear back bumpers but no bumpers with NO back. am I going crazy?

I dont have an answer about the bumper, but I would suggest that you take a pen, or a hard surface, wet the edge of the leather, and press down and go around the edge of your phone. If you hadnt put it on it may work better, this explains it better---->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YW5x84rWhQ It made a world of difference for me.
Uhh... What? ^^^^^^^ he's not smoothing out a hide.
there is the metal bumper that's comes in all different colors and also that plastic bumper that looks kinda ugly imo

look around eBay for a cheaper price.
Thanks for confirming what I suspected... there isnt something that I really was looking for.
I really wanted a BUMPER case that looked just like the GOLD piece in the case of this example

thanks, at first i almost thought you were crazy but this really did help a lot.
I applied the leather/back replacement all as one piece. I was a bit disappointed that the edged were still unnaturally high and sharp. it literally looked like I slapped on a leather sticker on my factory back which I didnt. It was not flush like I saw someone else who replaced their back with just the leather piece.
I got bored and took my tv remove control and just started rubbing the edges of my leather with the edge of my tv remote lol. it was purely boredom but i saw it was doing something. the edges started to go down and almost meet with the edge of my phone frame. i did that for probably an hour on and off while watching the flash on tv.
the next morning i took my finger and dipped it in some water and then rubbed my wet finger on the leather edges and just gave each edge a good rub down and the edges look so much better. they no longer feel rough or sticker like and it feels almost oem.
i still rub the edges occasionally because i'm OCD but I think that others could benefit from these steps.

i almost thought the same thing but that advice in the video really did help put me on the right path to working with the leather edges to make them more chamfered.

So did you buy any of the bumpers? Just got the Nexus 6 and want to find a bumper also. The Metal case has only one review that said it didn't fit correctly. The Kepuch has 2 reviews, so thinking of going with that in blue color to match the blue back.
