Hi guys.
I currently have a case from mobile fun that has s-view and qi charging. it is good but the screen is scratched and has seemingly made scuff marks on the phone screen also. at least i have a screen protector on.
i dont really utilise the benefits of the s view like music from the home screen etc and as soon as it moves slighlty off centre the full screen shows below so i lose the s view screen.
so, i want a case, not just a replacement back that has qi charging but not a flip cover/s view.
do they do them and are there any recommenations?

Glad you had a screen protector.
For the case you're looking for, I don't think so. Most people on here are using Qi insert receivers. Mine works fine. Use what ever case you want.

It's it easy to use a qi insert? Which is a good one, i read a lot about over heading with them.
I like the spigen slim armour case, any experience with it?
Cheers for the help

This thread has a lot of info... a lot.
I never tried that case, I use an insert with the Spigen Neo hybrid... works well... The insert is ineffective 5mm away from the charge pad. 1mm is taken from the insert and the backcover of the pphone... that leaves you with 4mm. Your case needs to be less than 4mm thick. I think the slim armour meets this.
Happy hunting.

Looks good to me...
This is the receiver i have:

Not sure what the nfc does for the charger.
Check out the thread I posted earlier... and then you can make a decision on the charger. I got something cheap and stylish for my nightstand but works fine.

I'm choosing a good protection case for LG that work with the LG WCD-100 charger.
I almost buy the Spigen Slim Armor, but then i read that it doesn't work it.
Can you indicate a good option to me??
Thanks
Its not a WiFi charger its a qi charger. The total distance that qi is rated for is 7mm so between the back of the phone, case and charger that's the maximum it can charge through going off the qi standard.

No problem, I know it's hard to measure and know how far the qi coil is from the phone, so if the slim armor is too thick the odds are you will need a thinner protective case that will hold up just as well.

And i dont know if im wrong,but what i see is that these cases from LG arent real cases, just back covers to chamge the original back cover (protecting the battery) with a more rugged back cover with qi support on it.
Im looking for a transparent case like the spigen ultra hybrid
The only thing I dont like about that case is the antena cutout.
Do you think this cheap one will protect the phone any good compared to the spigen?

I got this Ballistic Clear Case.
I also have the supcase. It's translucent, not transparent, if that matters to you. You don't really see the full beauty of the phone through it, but you do kind of see through to the back.
Wireless charging works fine with it.

I've got the Supcase as well (I have the white phone and got the grey/clear case). So far, I like it a lot. Wireless charging works through it, just barely; it's almost too thick, so you have to be careful how you position your phone to avoid the "slow charge" warning.
The only issue I have with it is the weight; it's heavy enough that my Infinniapps magnetic car mount doesn't work with it. I could have moved the magnet to between the case and phone and it probably would have been fine, but then the plate would have blocked NFC or Qi. I just went and bought a different mount unit instead with clamps instead of magnets (this one) - the reason I went with magnets was because of the clamps hitting the buttons on the sides, and since the G3 doesn't have those it should be fine.
Hi there,
Would like to find out if anyone has tried and proven good covers/cases/bumpers that are dock-friendly?
Thought this would be a good place to start and share.
Thanks,
Chester
Case-Mate Barely There is dock friendly, just use the 45B plate for the dock will do.

I have the Case-Mate Barely There and I can confirm that IT DOES NOT fit with the official Sony magnetic dock using either 45A or 45B inserts. I haven't found a single case that does fit as yet... and charging without using an insert isn't ideal as the slightly knock causes the connection to be lost....

although, just to argue with myself, I've contacted Case-mate and they state that it should fit the magnetic dock. So either I'm being really thick, or my inserts for the DK48 aren't correct, or both......I'm going to recheck tonight!

The DK36 works with the Case Mate Barely there and the wider of the two inserts included in the packaging. It was about $20 on Amazon. It charges pretty quickly as well.

It will fit with 45B insert, unless you have glass screen protector on. The glass will cause 45B to be not fit.

This definitely isn't the case for mine - doesn't fit and I don't have a glass screen protector. However, I've found that it does fit with one of the inserts for the Z3 Compact - 35B, I think it's called - I'd always assumed this insert would be smaller so stupidly hadn't tried it, but perhaps the Z3 Compact is slightly fatter.
I'm not sure whether my case, or the dock is at fault here....

I know this isn't the answer to your question, exactly.. but... I went and looked at the dimensions of the Z3/Z2 and their respective docks and the extra thickness of the Z2 means its dock is just a tiny bit deeper... so I bought one and it accommodates a Z3 with a snap-on shell case *so* much better than the Z3 dock, even with the adapter. The TPU cases still don't fit without struggling to get it in and out though. The Z2 dock is also around half the price (or less).
Hey guys,
I know many are after a decent case for the Z3 and I have these 2 which I've covered in a review I posted up recently on Neowin: http://www.neowin.net/news/case-mate-barely-there-for-xperia-z3-review
Hopefully the info helps make up a decision for some of you!
Thank you for thevreview, I have just ordered one of these cases.
Appreciate the review!
Thanks for doing this review, I was kinda concerned if the case-mate barely there for the Xperia Z3 would be compatible with the official dock.
I'll be getting this case but the clear version, as I got the Xperia Z3 in mint silver on 02 and it looks so nice!
I want the clear version too just to be able to see the shiny rear glass

I noticed a commenter on the review mentioned how much he disliked cases without symmetry...I feel like I might be the same way, but I'm not sure and would really like a case that could work with the dock. So do you feel like it's not really a big deal? Still comfortable to hold on to? Should I just get over it and get the case? Haha

Aye I really don't think it's a big deal. It's slim enough and it's black so doesn't really stand out as a distraction.
I bought a charging dock, and the case, and they should both be here by Tuesday.
I received the Nillkin today and unfortunately the Magnector X charging cable does not fit. I managed to trim a little bit on the sides though and now it works! Good to know before you order
Ah that's good to know cheers!

I know right + it feels so nice in the hand
I actually prefer without the case! Phone feels amazing metal and glass but a case just takes away that feel
I'll just be careful
I like to feel the glass back as well and didn't want to put a case. I am using a bumper to cover the sides to offer some grip

No, not the cable of course! I trimmed a little bit of the case where the lower part of the magnetic connector touches. You will see it when you receive both the case and the case.
Can anyone verify that the MagnectorX magnetic cable will fit alright with the Case Mate? I just ordered it up as it doesn't fit with my current case. It looks like it will be good to go, but just want to be sure.
It's all open side that end on the Barely There so yeah shouldn't be a problem.
The MagnectorX connector adapter will fit with the Case Mate Barely There, but it is not a completely secure connection. It will charge fine, but moving the phone while it is connected could dislodge it. The angle of the connector is very steep and leaves the cord very close to the case. On this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/accessories/magtrons-magnector-x202-cable-adapter-t2919541 it appears that the Magnector cable has more clearance. From those pics, it will fit with the case with trouble. The Barely There case works fine with the Z2 dock DK36, however. I purchased that dock since the price was lower than the dock for the Z3.
I also have a Sony XSP-N1BT receiver in my car (basically a dock which turns the phone into the face plate of the receiver and it has the magnetic pins to charge the Xperia phones) and with a little bit of fiddling, the phone will charge with the Barely There.
like the barely there case because of its slim design. but still would prefer a case that covers all the edge as well. maybe the casemate slim tough will be more suitable?
Since barely there is hard plastic, will it cause scratches to the phone eventually?
is The clear's finish is it the same as the black?
AWESOME mount, works with most TPU cases or on the outside of "thicker" cases; also Qi still works just fine.

What ad sir? This is a legit product, I've done many reviews for other products. But thanks for your stupid comments
I ordered this product - it does interfere with Qi charging. There is no placement on the phone that the steel plate does not interfere with. It's a shame though as the mount is awesome and holds the phone well. But if you want Qi charging as well, this isn't the product you're looking for.

did you stick the metal plate on the outside of your spigen? or did u just place it between your phone and the case like in the video? I'm considering this mount...but not sure i want to stick someone on the outside of the case permanently.

Just knowing how Qi works, my gut instinct is to not slap a piece of metal in between the coils regardless of if it starts charging or not.
