So I've had my note 3 for a few months now and absolutely love it. I started off with a simple spiegen slim armor case, but I would like to get something like the Spiegen Slim armor case with a flip cover that utilizes the s-view feature. I've also wanted to start using wireless charging. However on a lot of these cases they use the same pins on the back of the phone that a lot of wireless charging inserts use. So my question is, Has anyone found a decent combination with a good, tough case that can utilize both wireless charging and the flip cover features?
There are no other options if you wanting a rugged case and sview. I would recommend just getting a slim qi wireless receiver with pas through pins to retain the sview and add wireless charging . That's what I did when I had the spigen slim armor. It adds a little bulge on the back but works perfect.

Does anybody have the Samsung OEM dock for the Note? If so does it have enough leeway to be used with a TPU case on the phone or is it just too tight?
I have the Samsung dock and the elago slim fit case, and the phone docks without any issues.
Will not dock with the box wave slim case. Or the speck cases sold at at&t store.

TPU cases prevent the usb plug from seating fully, they are just a little too thick (mentioned this in my review of the Cimo Tech case).
Cases like the Elago Slim, Incipio Feather, and SGP Ultra Thin have exposed upper and lower sections of the phone that let the dock work without problem. I'm using the Elago as my everyday case and its working out great

idk anything about the quality of this case, but the price is pretty good!

That looks like a good case, and they also have an s-view style case for $30, but I'll probably get the cheapest case I can find and wait for Spigen to make a slim armor view then put a wireless charging insert inside the Note 3 cover. At first I wanted a Samsung s-view with charging built in, but then I saw a picture of the Slim Armor View cover for the S4, and that looks like FAR better protection.

wow looks nice
I wonder if they will have contrasting colors available later idk about just all black
edit: d'oh didn't notice the color dropdown
PS- one thing i notice about most of the cases is that they cover the bottom right corner mic, i wonder how call quality will be affected

There really isn't much selection out there right now. Wondering what upcoming cases you guys are anticipating announced or not. I personally, am hoping that someone puts out a sview knock off that is more practical, and a bit cheaper.
$50 is my absolute limit for a case.
Interested to see what cases you guys, are looking forward too.
I wish I could get GodyGlove hybrid case. This case saved my Note 2 from falling.
But now I have to settle with Tech21 for now.
UAG Scout with the dot/dash pattern
Body Glove is usually good about having cases out at launches but I'm sure they will release a Fusion case with stand soon I hope. I also love Speck slim clear cases and again no idea why they don't have one out at launch.

A high quality genuine leather wallet case from Spigen, with a detachable urethane case to support the driving mode.
Waiting on the Seidio Active Combo.
Here's a good looking one.

Wallet Flip cover. Wanna keep my debit cards with my phone for those times when Google Wallet doesn't work.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case pre-ordered. Only other case I want is the Spigen Slim Armor View case which they may or may not make.

UAG Navigator with the non dot/dash pattern. And eventually the full aluminum black hunterF if it comes out, after reinforcing it with some extra padding on the inside.

With Note II I had the original flip case and I was very happy with it. Again now with Note III I seem to like wallet flip case most.
Ideally I'd love something like wallet flip case with no logo in the outer part and made of high quality leather.

Has anyone found a TPU or clip case that fits with the wireless charging back on the Note 3?
alternatively are there any good bumpers out there (non-aluminium)?

I recently got a PMA / NFC sticker from eBay, and a Duracell Powermat for 2 devices, and the phone will charge fine without a case on it. However, it will not charge through my Spigen Slim Armor case.
Does anyone have any ideas on making it work with the case? Can I switch out the magnet on the charging sticker with something stronger or add something metallic / magnetic to the inside of the case? Perhaps cut or modify the case?
If none of the above, can anyone recommend a case (not folio / quick circle) that will work with PMA charging?
I have tried 2 cases with my LG Qi charger for d851, one of which was slim armor the other being a slim caseology and the charger wouldn't work through either of them. My Qi charger is now in a drawer waiting to be sold. I just bought a spare battery with cradle charger and swap out the battery on the fly...its much better. Wireless charging looks nice on paper but the feature isn't ready for primetime. In most scenarios its up to 2x slower than normal charging. I can't see any reason to favor it.
I run a d850 with a. Nikkon bumpercase and the back I installed PMA coil on and it works fine. It has its advantages

Any links to the case? I could not find it on Google.
How's the protection on it? I like the slim armor because it feels so sturdy.
