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)?
the Poetic Borderline Bumper fits

hi all, bought the CHOETECH Qi Wireless Charger Kit with the note 3 coil from amazon.ca.
installed it in my note 3 (rogers / cdn att), which is also in an otterbox defender case. i used electrical tape during the install to hold the coil in place. charges perfectly though the otterbox and charges the phone! was getting tiored of the usb3 cable/port probl;ems with this phone. the said charger also works with my nexus 7 2013 though its plastic poetic case. :good:
35$ cdn off amazon.ca for the pad and coil
I have the G3 and LG Wireless Charger WCD-100 and it doesn't work well with the Spigen Slim Armor case.
Could you recommend a good wireless charger for the G3 that works with the Spigen Slim Armor case?
Thank you in advance.

+1 my slim armor case and wireless charging cover are on their way in the mail and I never thought to cross reference whether or not the charging will work through a dual layer case.
My wife has the Spigen Slim Armor case and we are using Itian A6 charger (tylt vu knock off) and it works great! I bought them off Amazon for $33.

Hello all,
Just wanted to convey some findings I've had with some case / Qi combinations.
For cases, I have the Stand Folio Case-Mate case from the Play Store, the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Spigen Neo Hybrid, and Spigen Wallet S.
For chargers, the Nexus Wireless Charger for the Play Store, the Fonesalesman WoodPuck, and the Fonesalesman QiStone+.
My Qi results so far. With no case, the Nexus 6 charges very easily with the QiStone+ with a good deal of allowance in positioning, quite easily with the WoodPuck with some allowance in positioning, and adequately with the Nexus Wireless Charger with a very small zone of tolerable positioning.
The cases, pretty intuitively, seem to rank Ultra Hybrid, Neo Hybrid, Stand Folio, Wallet S in terms of disruption to Qi Charging.
The Nexus Wireless Charger cannot charge the Nexus 6 with any of the cases. With the Ultra Hybrid, I sometimes see a flicker of charge, but it can't be maintained.
The WoodPuck can charge through the Ultra Hybrid decently, the Neo Hybrid with very specific placement, and neither the Stand Folio nor Wallet S.
The QiStone+ can charge well through the Ultra Hybrid, the Neo Hybrid, and the Stand Folio. It can almost get a charge through the Wallet S, but not quite.
Let me summarize my thoughts on the Qi Chargers.
I'm disappointed in the Nexus Wireless Charger. I read a lot of hype, and a lot of claims that it was the "High-End, No-Hold Barred" charger. Unless I got a dud unikt, I really have not been impressed thus far.
The WoodPuck is slightly better, and expects the way I expected the Qi Chargers to perform, charging through reasonable sized cases.
The QiStone+ is a freakin star. I love this product so much. It has an incredible ability to charge without having to be overly precise with placement. Not to mention that it's a battery bank itself and is capable of being charged and charging both via USB or Qi. Outstanding, and highly recommended.
A quick summary of my thoughts on the cases.
The Ultra Hybrid has a decent fit, but not superb. It's buttons are passable, but a tad soft, and not well separated from one another. I'm also convinced that the clear back creates its own fingerprint marks.
The Neo Hybrid fits very nicely (although is tougher getting in and out), has a really nice set of materials (soft touch back, matte plastic frame, and metal buttons), and has buttons nearly as good as the device naked.
The Stand Folio is my favorite of the bunch thus far (disclaimer that I'm coming off a year with a Note 3 in a flip case). The fit of the case is perfect, although I wish the frame wrapped around the entire top and bottom with smaller cutouts. The buttons are excellent, with the same textured power button as the naked device. The leather feels nice, and wraps the case with precision. People are lying to you if they say you can actually put cards in the front without the case being spectacularly awkward looking and feeling (The front cover is nearly thinner than a single card to begin with). I was worried after reading so many critical early reviews of this case, but I think it's very nice.
The Wallet S is going to appeal to particular people. It's much bulkier, but the materials are very nice, and you can definitely store two or three cards in the front without it feeling too weird. I'm really disappointed in the buttons on this case. They're even worse and less distinct than the Ultra Hybrid. The case is less precisely made than the Case-Mate product, and I had to send my first case back because the leather exterior was misaligned with the plastic case. The replacement has hints of the same issue, but is acceptable.
I'm done with cases, but I do have a Tylt Vu Qi Charger on the way. I'll see how that works out when I get it.
Interested if anyone else has experienced similar disappointment with the Nexus Wireless Charger? Also wondering if anyone else has found a Qi Charger strong enough to charge through a dual material case like the Stand Folio the same way I've found the QiStone+ can.
P.S. I had hyper-linked the cases and chargers, but apparently I'm too new to be trusted with that.
I bought the Nexus charger as well, I could barely get it to charge my N6 without a case. Boxed it back up and its sitting unused. Bought a Tylt Vu, through my N6 on it while in a Ringke Fusion and it started to charge no issue.
Got my Tylt Vu in the mail yesterday. It's brilliant. Charges very easily, and really doesn't seem to care about the case. I can even fold the cover on the Stand Folio case back and it will charge through it all. Definitely worth the money spent.
Thanks for the info. I've been on the fence about purchasing a QiStone+ for quite a while... still am. I just had an Aukey Luna dropped of at my door step. Can't wait to see/try it.
i have the choe stadium (charges the qi stone wirelessly and with ease) aukey and qi stone+. the qi stone charges the phone really fast . i have posted a photo of the qi stone in a pouch/sleeve charging the nex 6 in another thread. very good for portability.
the qi stone+ website has 25% off today by the way...
I should add that the Tylt Vu was the only charger I tested able to charge the N6 in the Spigen Wallet S Case.

Thank you for this very useful, and detailed review.
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.
