I was originally planning on getting the official Samsung flip cover for this phone, but I've read many reviews about its questionable build quality (it seems to wear down after just a month or so of use). I'm now considering getting the Anymode Black Leather Flip Cover that's being offered on the AT&T website. Does anybody have this cover and can share their experiences with it? I've searched everywhere but haven't found a single review for it.

I work for at&t and while both cases are nice I still would buy the samsung case... for two reasons. 1.) at&t warrantys all their cases for a year if it happens to fall apart and 2.) the anymode cases do not have the cut out for the ear piece, so you have to keep it folded back to talk.
Thanks for the quick response. So does AT&T offer a warranty for both the official Samsung cover and the Anymode one? And do you know if either covers have the NFC antennae built in to it?

You might want to make sure that last one is official before you drop $69 on it. Looks to me like it says "for Lg G3", the official only says "Lg G3".
Just to give a rundown of what I have found since buying my wife the AT&T LG G3 on Sunday:
AT&T sells a LG quick circle wireless charging (Powermat, not QI) case that replaces the back battery cover for $60, though I only found 1 AT&T store in my area (Birmingham, AL) that had any in stock, and my wife didn't like the color option there.
Verizon and Sprint both sell a LG Quick circle case for $50 that actually just snaps onto the phone, without replacing the back battery cover. It does not include any type of added functionality, aside from the quick circle (ie: wireless charging). I believe verizon offers black and purple, while sprint offers black and gold (at least the stores we looked in, oddly nobody in this area has the phone or any LG brand cases in white, not sure why).
My wife liked the gold color at Sprint, so I bought her that, since she refused to use the phone until we got a cover for it, since her old phone had a crack from one corner diagonally all the way to the other corner.
I know I could order her something cheaper off amazon, but I wanted to get her a case yesterday so she could start using the new phone (mostly so I could start playing with it )
Sadly, with the phone only just now coming out here, the case options in general in retail stores are sadly lacking in qauntity. makes me mad when I walk in best buy and they have multiple aisles of iphone cases, and literally 1 choice for the LG G3 (a plain black hard shell case, don't even remember the manufacturer)
Here are a few Quick Circle cases that I fould while looking around.

None of those support wireless charging though. That's a big deal to a lot of people.

Agreed, I bought the offical LG Quick Circle case offered at Sprint stores and found it lacks Qi or NFC, no prongs whatsoever as it attaches over the back cover (i.e., does not replace the back cover). Returned the case to Sprint, drove up the road to a Verizon store and bought their official LG Quick Circle case (the packaging looked identical to Sprint, but had a different SKU), opened it up and it is identical to the Sprint case w/o Qi or NFC. Returned the case to Verizon and am still on the hunt for a back to add Qi to my TMo G3.
By the way, see the sell sheet I located online for the Quick Circle, no model numbers provided, but note the footnotes for distinctions between carrier versions:

So do none of the U.S. variants (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile) come with wireless charging capabilities out of the box, without the purchase of an accessory case?
And is AT&T the only carrier currently selling a case with wireless (even though it's not Qi) charging?
The only thing I am jealous of iphone owners over is the selection of accessories that they can choose from that are actually stocked in stores. I know we can find lots of stuff online, but I would like to see and feel the cases before I buy them. not a ton of selection right now out there in physical stores for this phone, though I guess it has only been out a few days, but still, wish they would have at the very least the official LG accessories in stock the day the phone's are released.

Damn those look legit but you know you're going to end up with crap...
I think I may go with the Sprint or Verizon one in black and just waiting for my local stores to get one in. The faster they do anyways the faster I drop $50 so no hurry.
Wireless charging is really slow is it not? I bought a Nokia Qi for my Nexus 7 and it was ridiculous so I returned it.

I bought the Aliexpress one. I use them quite often and as long as it doesn't look like the Dx one people are posting, I'll just keep it. If it sucks, oh well, I'll skip Starbucks for one day.

Looks to me like there are different types of flip cases that replace the back cover. I wouldn't want a case that didn't support both wireless charging and NFC.
"Genuine LG G3 F400 Quick Circle Case Smartphone Cellphone Wireless charging New" (sorry, still can't post links)
This looks like it's for the international version? (F400), but supports wireless charging and NFC. The rim of the circle also lights up, which is a feature I'd really like to have.
Note the word of caution in the beginning to the arrangement of contacts and different G3 versions.
Has anyone seen a flip case like this that is compatible with the Verizon (VS985) version?

i honestly don't think the case itself lights up I think its a chrome beveled lip that reflects the light pattern the screen emits

It's a light pattern from the screen, and the cases themselves have a thin, clear plastic ring around the inside of the circle opening that the light from the screen shines through.
At least it is on the quick circle case from Sprint.
Quick Circle Cases Official with QI charging
Found the real deal here:

Does anyone know if this one is compatible with the USA versions of the G3?
what do you guys think about this site? the description/pictures claim the product is genuine but i can't help but notice the website looks rather....foreign (for lack of better words).

I posted this last week in the other quick circle case thread. I got my cover from them for my Verizon G3. Everything working as stated including the wireless charging.
Has anyone received their oem case yet? If so, are you pleased with it? I just ordered the phone today, but I'd like to have some feedback before buying a case. I'm not willing to spend $60 on a case, so I'm hoping the Chinese/Korean cases that are on eBay will work.
I apologize for creating this thread. I have searched high and low to find the official case that will work with Verizon. I don't care if it's qi charging doesn't work with my verizon variant. I just want the officially lg branded case in mint. Any ideas?
I'd take one in black but there are soo many counterfeits. What's the best price you guys have seen on a traditional black one?
Or what about the knock offs. Any that have a magnetic closure built in that you like?
I'd totally have the official slim guard in black but the cost is too high. I always end up spending too much on accessories and as a person who buys and sells phones a lot, it's an added unnecessary expense.

Well I have a black quick circle case with qi, if you want that. Everything works good on it, I'm just not a big fan of flip cases. PM me if you want pics or if you have any questions.
I bought this at Amazon, plugged it in last night, set my Sprint LG G3 on it, and... nothing.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7L6GJC
I went back to the Amazon page and read a little bit more. The first question (that I missed when I bought it) asked if it worked with an AT&T LG G3; the answer was "no, a wireless receiver is required."
I emailed the seller to return it, stating that it required an additional piece of hardware. The seller replied that it does NOT require any additional hardware.
So who is right?
AT&T model of G3 uses PMA wireless charging standard, instead of Qi and so it would never work.
In the case of Sprint G3 (and other US carrier models), I believe none of them come with battery doors that have Qi charging pins.
You have 3 options
Replace the battery door with one that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a Quick Circle case that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a wireless charging sticker, open your the battery door, affix the sticker at the right spot on the battery door and put it back
The third will be the cheapest option. Here is a video.
Thanks!
I see some cheap cases on Amazon for about $10 that include the Qi charging sticker. I see the stickers for about $5 if I go with the cheapest vendors.
Does that sound about right?
Are there any caveats? Is it better to buy from an established seller rather than a knockoff from overseas?
I personally buy knockoffs from China all the time and had very little issues. If the price difference is significant, I prefer the cheaper ones.
For example the 6000+ mah internal battery I bought for G3 cost me $12 from China. Compared that to the same capacity battery from Mugen which costs $90.

Did you need an extended battery cover for that large of a capacity?

Yes I do. The extended battery is double in thickness. Check this photo album (not mine, but same battery and cover).

Keep in mind that cover you see in the pictures, does not have Qi charging and NFC pins.
