Hey everyone let me start out by saying I love my g3! I used to be a Samsung fanatic until I got this beast of a phone! But anyways I have been looking for a few days for a back cover that has the qi wireless charging capabilities. I know the LG smart circle case has it but I don't really like the whole feel of the flip style case. Can anyone help me out?

I just got my QI sticker from China (bought from alibaba for $10 with free shipping), it took less than a minute to remove the old sticker and replace with the new adheseive mat, QI/NFC sticker, and thermal sticker. Put back on the phone and it works great, only issue was the long shipping period. It took 10 days to arrive but for $10, its the best accessory you can have.

Has anyone successfully got this to work? I just ordered the case and should be at my house tomorrow. I'm contemplating ordering the wireless charging back (not the back cover) but not sure if it will work, considering the Slim View requires the back to be removed for the s-view to be recognized.
I was looking at this one :

And this :

If I need to "modify" it to work I don't mind. As well as losing NFC which I never use anyways. If anyone successfully got it to work post some pictures!
Thanks community

You need to have a receiver that had a pass through for the sview to work. I had the armor view for a few weeks with wireless charging and it worked with no problem. There was a little bulge on the back so the case didn't sit flat but other than that No issues.
This is the one you need to have the wireless charge and the sview work at the same time and you do lose nfc but like you I don't use it that much.

Just to let you know that the official LG slim hard case/battery plate that has wireless charging makes the phone slightly bigger so cases like Spiegen won't fit. I bought one for my Korean F400k to get wireless charging and now I can't put my Slim Armour case back on. And this is the non bumper variation of the two backplate covers LG makes which I wrongly assumed would be a straight replacement of the existing backplate. Notwithstanding, it is pretty nice as it gives the phone a much better textured grip...but not much by way of drop protection.
One more thing, you can forget using the Nexus wireless charger (the little square one): the phone keeps telling you to move it to the hotspot, no matter how you position it. The Nokia upright charger works fine though.

Seems like even official charger also have Hot Zone issue. It might be a software bug from LG... very strange.

Anyone wanting the battery cover with NFC/QI, you can get them for about $23 on ebay now. Just posted the link and such in the proper subforum (accessories).
Get one off those and you can put on any case you want.
Not getting the case but definitely looking for wireless charging without changing the profile of this phone.
Debating on getting the quick circle case... I don't really want any case on my phone this time around but the quick circle case looks really cool / doesn't really add any bulk or anything.
Also don't you get some kinda of insurance for free or something if you buy a phone case directly from Verizon, like if it breaks when using one of the cases they sell they will replace/fix it for free? Im still not sure...

Like mentioned above, and discussed further in the accessory forum, get this http://www.ebay.com/itm/151360455517?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Just thought I would post this up for people who want an official LG circle case but don't want to spend the money LG is asking. I got this case from a China dealer on eBay. Case came in LG packaging and all. It does not have the NFC or wireless charging stickers but I just removed the one from my stock back and placed in this one. The only issue I had was in the flap of the case there is supposed to be a small magnet that makes the device sleep and wake when closed or open. There instead was a small piece of metal , no magnet. I was easily able to peel the case apart just enough to remove it and add my own small magnet . I'll add a dab of super glue later just to make sure it stays in place but you cannot tell it's ever been peeled back from just looking at it. Anyways on to the pics!
Do you have a link for the seller?
Thanks

Looks the same as the one on dxbox ! Made in china but not so bad.

Use a hair dryer to heat it up and carefully /slowly peel it off your factor back and with trial and error line it up in your new one.

Thx man. By the way do I have put nfc from original cover to circle case to make quick window work...If I does I will throw my case streat to garbage.[emoji6]
Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk
The case I ordered you need to swap the NFC sticker to make NFC work. You need to add a magnet for the quick circle window to work

Thanks OP. I ordered this case. I'm also curious about the size of the magnet that you installed and/or where you purchased it?

My Case
Hey I noticed that you guys were talking about this case. Now here's the weird thing, you guys are saying that your's didn't come with the magnet, but I bought it from the exact same seller and the exact same item a while ago but mine came with a magnet. .
The whole quick circle thing works as well. But there are other problems with this case that make me really don't like it. Biggest one is that the flap just bounces up instead of actually sitting on the phone. It will not stay closed, I tried to fix it by putting my phone face down over night so that it would just stay like that but it didn't really work. Another small problem is that the circle cutout is too small and of centered. It's naturally to much to the right and since it's too small you can't see the little circle animation.
New Case
Hey I was looking around and I found this youtube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuoy3418sWQ
It compare their product (the blue one) to another (pink one). The pink one seems to suffer from the exact same problems that the one from this ebay seller has. It led me to believe that it's most likely the same case that I purchased. It doesn't close naturally and as you can see the quick circle ring animation is only visible on the right side. Like I mentioned in my previous posts these were things that I really hated. Now this case also has wireless charging and NFC. And it looks OEM as well. I couldn't find where to buy it but I found it while looking around and noticed that this was the same website and seller that other people were trying to buy wireless charging tags from.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NeWi...timus-G3-Leather-Case-Leather/1982067236.html
I bet this is the same product in the video. I think that I'm gonna go ahead and buy this. Now the problem is that I have an At&t model so I know that it won't work with wireless charging but I don't see why NFC wouldn't. It's only like 2 bucks more than the eBay one.
In all honesty I couldn't care less about wireless charging I'm just looking for an OEM look of a quick circle case that replaces the back cover. And this fits all of the criteria and is less than 10$.

I received my case yesterday and I'm very happy with it. It looks and feels like the OEM case. It's very high quality and doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. As you've said, the "circle" animation is only seen on the right side of screen, but I can live with that. Maybe it will show the full circular animation when the case is a little more broken in? I don't use NFC or wireless charging, so I don't care much about that. There is a cutout for the antenna, but again, that doesn't bother me too much. I also have the gold version of the G3 and the case is a pretty similar color, but not spot on. Close enough for me.
For those looking for a solid case with huge savings, I bought my case from the link below.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/22149136035...49&var=520350511057&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I have a verizon G3 with NFC but no Qi case.
I would like to get a case or back plate with Qi. I am considering getting a Qi back plate separately and add a spigen slim armor case. There are conflicting reports of spigen case working with a Qi charger.
Can anyone recommend a suitable combination of case+charger that is known to work?
The LG slim guard is $50 total. But im not too crazy about this case.
Spigen case is 10-18, Qi back is 15-25
I don't know if this helps but I ordered a nfc+qi pad that replaced the nfc pad that is on the back cover. It took me no more that 5 minutes to do and now I have wireless charging working.
Coming from the g2 that was important. I'm waiting on the spigen case and another tpu care to come in the mail.
Adding the wireless charging not expensive and I got to keep my original battery cover.

Here's a strange story about qi charging on my g3... Purchased the qi sticker on ebay and I already had the Nokia dt 910 fatboy qi charger, so I figured I would be good to go! Not as easy as I had hoped ?
The phone would charge with my lg circle case but not my Spigen Slim Armor case (my personal favorite), all that would happen is the dreaded disconnect and reconnect ? and a few days later I tried again and it actually worked! It still works perfectly fine.
Yes the lg g3 can use qi with the slim armor case with the right charger
