So I've been reading around and it seems that a lot of people are having trouble finding a nice and fitted case. Now I came frome a cappy to the i777 and I wanted somthing that was like the bodyglove case for the captivate. I found a case on Amazon that I thought would fit the i777 just right. It came in yesterday and it fits perfectly! Everythingis cut out where its supposed to be, yes even the noise canceling mic on top. Its not thick and it keeps the phone slim. Has nice grip on the sides so it doesn't slip. Fits the phone perfect. All in all seems to be an awesome case. And its only like $9 with shipping! Good deal!

I got a TC matte black slim case that is great and was $9 shipped from amazon. Highly recommended.
+1 for the TC case, nice fit and no frills.

I got the case mentioned in the OP but for 2.95 on eBay. Have to say this is one of the best fitting and best looking tpu cases I've owned. All the cutouts are spot on and its thin with ok protection for a tpu case. Way satisfied and would def recommend it to anyone.

I was looking at the TC case but wasn't sure about it. I had ordered one from ebay and it didn't fit. Its was to small. But I'll look into the Amazon one

I just got this one in the mail before Christmas (along with some screen protectors). This thing is good. double layer protection along with covers for the earphone jack and usb port. Feel as sturdy or more than otterboxes I have seen. Some people don't like the bulk but I like the thicker grip.

Is the case OP posted really rubbery or what? I'm looking for a slim case that doesn't stick in my pockets.
+ one more for the matte black TC case. Had it since a week after launch. Cut outs are all correct, (though I widened the usb and headphones cutouts with an xacto knife to fit aftermarket audio and usb plugs that I had - stock stuff fit fine with no mods) keeps the slim profile of the phone, and makes it fit my hand a little better, so less chance of drops.

I'm looking into the case that the OP mentioned. I found a five case deal on ebay coming from Hong Kong. I just got my phone (no case protection) and it'll pain me too much to see how long the shipping will take, it is free though.
I wonder if people are seeing good results on all of these cheap cases from ebay, by that I mean after a few months of use.
Question, OP
I'm coming from a Cappy with the excellent Body Glove TPU case. It was the best case I've ever had for a phone, and I was wondering if the case OP posted is flexible TPU, or hard, rigid plastic that can't be flexed. I wonder this because I need access to the back sd card and battery often, and the material of the case determines if I buy it or not.
Thanks for any answers to my question.

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

Anyone know of a good case that fits the wireless charging cover? The cover is slightly thicker so a regular case.... At least the spigen one I had doesn't fit

Yeah, it's too bad....the wireless cover is hardly any thicker but just thick enough to make a regular case incompatible...

Any suggestions? I'm not well versed on soft bumper cases. I'm coming from using Otterbox as my only case provider for all my gadgets.
Oh well I had bought myne from a shop in Greece and I don't have the box and it says nothing on. Just grab a rubber black if you got the black phone or a clear one m8,its really cheap everywhere.

I just ordered a thin aluminium black bumper case on ebay from china. Should receive it in a couple weeks. Seems alright..
I'm waiting for my back to come and I was thinking about this issue. I was going to get a cheap tpu case and use a hair dryer to give it a little stretch.
I thought we'd start a thread to help those with the Official Sumsung Wireless Charging Cover find a case that fits.
Please share a link and description if you've found any. Thanks!

This is what I'm using and works great with the wireless back:

Another one here, too:

These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.
One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.

This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.

Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.
Thanks for the links!
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.
Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.

I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.
This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.
Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in

Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...
I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
Just wondering if anyone is planning to buy a pouch or sleeve for the Galaxy Fold?
From where are you planning to buy one?

Not bad at all. I picked up a Nintendo DS microfiber pouch from a Diaso here in Japan. Been working great, before that I was using the glasses pouch a pair of Gunner glasses I got came in. It's been helping a lot with minimizing lint and debris
I use mine in the Spigen Thin Fit Case (as it has better camera protection) and it ain't bulky. I then carry it around in a Shocksock Neoprene pouch. It's a nice snug fit.

**Update - SOLD
I've been using a neoprene pouch for my phones ever since I got one included with the Nexus One several years ago. I usually have a protective case on the phone too.
I get them from ebay and they are relatively cheap. I just took a look now and the type I use isn't available for the fold, but there is one with a flap and carabiner. It's what I would buy if I had a fold.

I have mine in the official Samsung leather case, which I then also slide into a Shocksock pouch. That pouch is such a good fit, it's hard to imagine it wasn't manufactured especially for the Fold. The price is right, too.
I got a shock sock from Amazon for mine, made of neoprene, it will provide some drop protection, again mildly inconvenient to use but worth it for the price. Keeps pocket lint away from the device and is splash proof
