Let's talk about cases and wireless changing - what works and what doesn't:
For example
Works
Generic charging back and cheap gel case works with Tylt charger
Generic charging back and cheap gel case works with LG hockey puck charger
Otterbox defender works with the tylt vu and qi sticker
Nillkin bumper case works with the Tylt wireless charger
Slim Armor works with the Tylt Vu
Qi sticker chip with generic eBay hockey puck (Powerbot clone) and it charges with Seidio Surface
Qi sticker (from GB) on OEM backing with Quick Circle Case (without the built in inductive) works on both the Tylt Vu as well as the LG WCP-300 puck.
Ringke slim case and with the 3 Coil wireless pad+original LG USB cable+2A Samsung charger (links in post #21)
but
Doesn't work
slim armor DIDNT work with Nokia Dt910
Works partially
3rd party quick circle case with wireless charging I got off of Ebay and ordered the WCD-100. Although it worked I kept
getting the center phone correctly message every time I put it on.
Best Buy Insignia TPU case has some trouble with the Tylt Vu. Wireless charging notification pops up frequently
How about posting here what we know works - and what doesn't. I'll update here from your posts so please make my life easier and give me something that I can just cut and paste.

Does the generic charging back and the Tylt work with the Otterbox Defender? How about the Seidio Surface?

You forgot about the Qi sticker chips for those who purchased.
I have a Qi sticker chip with generic eBay hockey puck (Powerbot clone) and it charges with Seidio Surface.
Overall, I think wireless charging will work with any case so as long there is no interference such as magnets or something.

My slim armor DIDNT work with Nokia Dt910. Had the on off issue. Ordered a lg wcd100 will see what happens.
EDIT : forgot to add that i got the slow charging message when using the case.

problems with that one when I get it then I'll know it's the case that's the issue.
This thread will be hard to follow just like the "What wireless charger works best with the G3" thread. I had to read that thread over and over. lol A list in the OP would be nice but a little time consuming to make I guess.
Nillkin bumper case works with the Tylt wireless charger. I will test the Insignia case at some point.

It should cut down on the same questions and not everyone has time to read a long thread. If OP didn't want to do it I could have done it
Maybe the OP also needs to add "a case and charger might work for someone and not another person. I guess depending on the sticker/placement".

I apologize for not updating the first thread within microseconds of someone posting - sheesh.
In order to make this thread worthwhile, we really need more information on some of the more obscure combinations. Stickers, for example, can come from multiple vendors and each may be a different quality. I'd suggest adding a link for no-name products. I'll continue to update the first post every couple of days for a while until we have a good representation of products.
I am using this OEM rear plate.
I am also using the Best Buy Insignia TPU case.
The charger is the Tylt Vu.
The Tylt works fine without the case on the phone but has trouble with this case.

It was a joke. Calm down. And my comment about the Seidio was because you updated the original post with stuff that was posted after mine and thought you missed it.
As for the Qi sticker chips, there's only one source that makes them but obviously sold by many others.
Just got my official LG qi charger WCD-100. I really like it, it's stable, and charges quite fast for qi. I got it for a pretty good deal so I don't mind and this is my 3rd qi charger that i currently have and by far the best one. It's really nice because I can't place my phone on it the wrong way. You just put it on and you're done! No alignment bs like on my other ones.

Hi all
Just ordered aG3 so now need to sort some accessories. It's the D855 32gb variant with builtin wireless charging.
I have spent ages looking at cases and thinking I have decided on the Supacase case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JW7ATU8/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
Hopefully that's a decent choice of case. Want something that doesn't add bulk, looks ok and offers some protection.
I have had a good search but can't find an answer as to wether this case would work with a wireless charger (either a Choe, Koolpad or maybe the genuine LG wireless cradle).
Any help would be good. I know there are other threads that's tough on this, but none seem to give a specific answer to my query.
Cheers
I have a Supcase Beetle on my VS985. I have added the wireless charging sticker to the inside of the back cover and use a Itian A6 wireless charger with no problems.
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks. Unfortunately the itian a6 doesn't seem to be easily available in the UK.
Just as an update to my own question....
The Supcase Beetle didnt work with the Choe Upgraded wireless charger i got. But the charger worked fine with a Cruzerlite case.
How about this case LG-CCH-320G. You can find it on ebay. I just purchased one. A bit pricey, but OEM and nfc/Qi.
Kind of curious: has anyone tried the G3 with an AirDock:
http://www.theairdock.com/
Wondering if the curved back presents any problems with adhering to the micro-suction surface of the dock.
I have one and the charging works great. Only issue is that if the pad or surface isn't clean the phone doesn't like to stay put. The surface is some kind of nano technology. In my opinion it needs to be improved and the magnets need to be improved. The curved back does limit the overall contact surface area but I am getting a new SUPCASE and I am hoping that the material will stick better.
I have the AirDock, and it does not work with my cheap, Chinese Qi charging sticker. The very same sticker works on my Tylt Vu, however. I'm curious what Qi receiver you guys are using.
Thanks!
I found a couple of posts here on XDA that indicated the magnets in the Air Dock interfere with the Qi stickers. Air Dock (the company) doesn't recommend the mount for use with the G3.

Though on their website it clearly says supported (with additional hardware.) I assume this to mean with the QuickCircle charging case, which is horrendous and annoying. You are spot-on regarding the magnets. I asked if those can be removed, and support responded that they are necessary to keep the phone from sliding off. I am not convinced that is the case on the G3, because the phone slides off VERY easily without some sort of flat-back.
Sounds like G3 owners should just wait it out...
Me:
Howdy Howdy!
I noticed that the LG G3 is officially 'supported' (with additional hardware,) on your site, and I was curious if any developments have been made? I am still using the cheap Chinese sticker with my Tylt Vu, but of course that doesn't work on my original AirDock. Is there a recommended charging sticker, or do you guys still recommend the Circle case?
In all honesty, it's hard to recommend the naked G3 on the AirDock, because it can barely hold it. I have to clean my foam almost daily for it to stick, because the phone's back is curved. My friends with flat-back phones never seem to ever clean the foam and it works great.
Thank you!

AirDock Support:
Hi Steven,
There are a couple things that are going to be better about Version 2.0 and the G3.
The transmitter in V2.0 will work well with that aftermarket receiver sticker. That's the biggest difference. It's an upgraded transmitter from V1.0
We will also be supplying a special version of V2.0 that will be curved to match the back of your G3 so that you can have the same grip strength as your flat backed phone owning friends!
Thanks
Me:
Whoa, that's awesome! I wish there was a trade-in option because I've been pretty bummed about this one, despite getting a few friends to pick one up for their more well-suited phones.
Thank you for the update!
Sounds great, but I already came up with my own solution. I grafted the Qi charger and phone clamp from this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M685JTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (made by the same company as the Tylt Vu)
With the sticks-anywhere micro suction base of this:
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windsh...UTF8&qid=1417825105&sr=8-1&keywords=iottie+xl
My only real complaint is that the Qi emits a shrill beeeeep every time it gets power (i.e., when I turn the car on).
But if the Air Dock 2 described above had been available, I probably would have bought that one. Good news for future buyers.

I have the original airdock and have been using it with my G3 with no problems. I have a thin ringke case and use the airdock sticker and it charges fine. I'm considering getting the LG g3 slim guard case because I don't like having the sticker on my phone. I read someone on here write that the LG g3 slim guard case sticks to the airdock.
What Qi receiver are you using?
I'm using a replacement battery cover with qi sticker that I bought on Amazon. I'm guessing the company puts the sticker on an oem battery cover but it has qi and nfc

Strange, then you are the first with an AirDock to get it working with the Qi sticker. I have followed the threads very closely, and even AirDock says it won't work. Do you have a link to the sticker/cover you bought?
Thanks!
I do... But I don't think I can post it. But if you go to Amazon the seller is 38 Ave. It's an oem battery cover with qi and nfc. I also just ordered the LG g3 slim guard case. I've read it works and sticks to the airdock.
I finally received the original LG g3 slim guard case. It is for the US version. It works great with the airdock. Sticks to it and charges it with no issues.

When you drive with GPS on, screen on, streaming music over bluetooth, does your battery stay charged? Mine won't even do that with a 2-amp USB connection. :/

Regardless of the input to the Qi charger, current Qi coils output at most 1 amp. But to answer your question, no, mine slowly discharges under the conditions you describe. If you're doing that for a long period, unplug the cable from the dock and plug it into your phone.

Dang. That's the entire time I've driving -- always. I should have done more research on Qi before ordering the sticker or any of these chargers. My Tylt has an almost impossible time keeping my phone charged when streaming and keeping the screen on at work. Nothing else going. Just heats up like crazy.

I don't seem to have any issues when I'm not streaming or using GPS. Just keeping the screen on seems to be fine. Make sure you're using a good USB cable. I found a couple of cheap ones I had wouldn't keep the phone charging consistently - it would keep cycling in and out of charge / discharge modes.
This won't help now, but there's a new Qi standard in development that is supposed to provide higher rates of charge. I do wonder how they'll deal with the extra heat, though.
What the best wireless battery cover for my note 3, need to use the new option in 05 camry.
Thanks
You can find the Samsung OEM wireless charging battery cover on fleaBay for around $15.
I notice that there are also Mugen "wireless ready" covers that fit their extended batteries for $20. Kind'a cool if you don't want to ever be concerned about how much charge you have - and don't mind a fatter phone.
I'm pretty sure that neither the OEM not the mugen will work with any of the "standard" cases.

It works through a thing TPU/gel case, which is my preferred type.

The retail Samsung wireless charging back consistently gets 25-30ma more when charging. Not really enough to make a difference. Wireless charging takes ~3x as long as using the stock Samsung adapter and USB 3.0 cable IME. I swap batteries when I need to be fully charged. I use wireless just because it is so convenient to set my phone down on a qi dock at my desk or my nightstand.

CZ Eddie, yup, kickstand4u kickstands are back in stock - yours was shipped today! Thank you for your order and support!
FYI, I have a Sprint LG G3 (rooted) and a LG G4 (stock) both with wireless charging backs with a kickstand installed and a 3 coil TYLT charging stand - they both work fine, but it seems that the LG G4 is not as finicky in placement on the stand for a good wireless connection.
I bought the sview wireless charging cover approx 1 year ago via amazon, around £35. Highly recommended, works beautifully. You wont regret paying the extra cash.
Merry Christmas everyone I got a Nexus 6 today as an early gift to celebrate Christmas and I love it. Are there any cases or charging pads that are powerful enough to be able to charge wirelessly with the case on?
What cases do you guys use? Also, I am a huge Buffalo Bills fan (they let me down on Sunday ) and are there any good custom cases that I can design the Bills logo on?

mine chargers fine on my cheap amazon wireless charger through the caseology case. nfc payments read ok too, not great but they work eventually.
What kind of caseology case? With the bumper?
I use a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on mine - does everything I need (bumper surround to protect the phone, clear see-through back, slightly proud at the front to protect the screen when the phone is face down). I also use an IntelliArmor tempered glass screen protector.
The Spigen works fine with all my Qi chargers, both desk and car (I have quite a few, as I was trying lots of them when I first got the phone).
(Once you use Qi charging you'll never want to go back. I was all ready to buy a 6P, but the lack of wireless charging was a deal breaker for me).

I'll second this. I'm also using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with my Nexus 6, and I have absolutely no issues with all three of my Qi chargers. To be perfectly honest, I've found that I prefer the convenience of my Qi chargers over the speed of my quick chargers. Don't get me wrong, I still use my quick chargers when I need a speedy boost, but I love just being able to set my phone down and not having to pick up a cord and plug it into my phone.

With both of them, Ampere reports that the phone is charging at 620 to 700ma.
