Hi all. Im awaiting delivery of my new s7 and im eager to get a case to protect it. Im specifically looking for one that wont obstruct the phone from charging wirelessly. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
My spigen neo hybrid works just fine with wireless charging.

Any case that's reasonably thin, and isn't metallic, should be fine. I have a Spigen Liquid Crystal that works fine for wireless.
This Bastex case works pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/S7-Bastex-Shock-Protective-Blue/dp/B01AYCHLAU?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
I've got the regular tech21 case and qi charging works fine, as well as the Samsung loop pay. I've used spigen in the past, but lately I feel the rubber isn't as durable as it used to be, so it's not as rugged or protective IMO.

What cases are all you currently running on your S4's and what if any docks do you use? I'm rocking the Neo Hybrid from Spigen and a Aluminum Bumper from time to time. Also my Samsung dock doesn't work with either of the cases so I picked up a sweet dock from Rokform.
I'm using an Incipio case at the moment. It hasn't yet needed to save my phone from damage, but it's not bad looking or feeling so I'm glad to have it.
Figured opening something for this would be useful for everyone. Being that this model has different dimensions from both the Z3 standard and Z2 itll need its own line of cases. Theres apparently a tough case mate on the way and some leather slip cases. Post up what you come across as you go.
I did some research and found out the cases for the Z2 L50h will work for Z3v since the dimensions of the phones are the same.
I've found no evidence to support that.
VZW website has 2 cases up so far. A silicone one and the usual hard case with holster and kickstand.
It appears that Verizon might be stocking a third case in the near future - If you go to the all accessories page (not the cases page) on the Verizon website and and filter by the z3v, there is also a Incipio DualPro for Experia Z3v in purple or black in the list, although it gives a 404 if you try to click on it.
It looks nicer then the other options, so I'm hoping it is released soon.
Update: I can now get to the details page and ad it to a cart, so maybe they are adding the listing this morning.
The incipio is out in stores. I got one when i picked up my phone. Its actually pretty nice.
Do you need to take the phone out of the case for charging wirelessly?
i have the cheapo black case, works fine charging wirelessly. it was like 19 bucks?
Both the incipio and silicone Verizon cases can be left on to charge wirelessly

That aint cheap, just to some standards. XD
I have the plain silicone case too but geez...it looks VERY plain. Wished the incipio one was in store when I got it at the time. :/
Do the z2 cases fit the z3v

Unfortunately no.
Your best ones available are pretty much the plain TPU case and the incipio dual from Verizon. I have the plain one, but it does pretty alright for what it does in giving me grip.
Everyone should contact Diztronic and ask them to make a TPU for the Z3v. I've always liked their TPU products.

I have the kickstand holster case and just use the shell. It looks good but the protection isn't the best. It covers the back glass but the top and bottom of the phone are exposed in the middle. Not bad though. Both this case and the plain TPU case I bought work with my Sony 5,000mah wireless portable charger (nice device btw) and the Chloe Qi charger.

They're not TPU cases, they're just plain silicone. I'm waiting for the TPU cases to come out
The Incipio case is the best one out right now.
i had post this on the other thread:
look like theres a new TPU case made from China that looks very interesting

There's an otter box defender on otter boxes site. Looks bulky.
I am using the Z2's Trident Aegis case on my Z3v. Fit is just about on point. The opening for the charging port/SIM card is a little off where I can't open the charging port cover to charge. I have to remove it from the case. The cutout where the earphone port is has a gap around the little flap that covers the actual port.
Other than those minor issues, I have been satisfied using this case until a more specific fit case rolls out.
Received my Airframe+ today, it is a perfect fit. Nice compact design that clips onto most any air vent. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a universal car mount.

...but maybe not with case
I have the airframe+ - great, simple, well-made device. It worked great on my G3 with case, but be forewarned: it barely fits the N6 without a case, and I can't get the phone to fit with the Spigen ultra hybrid bumper case, which is a minimal case.
I think we need an airframe++ !

Sadly I found the same thing the other day when I got the airframe+. Wondering if that kind of stress will damage the phone or case.

hmm.....my wife just ordered one for me for xmas too. Oh well. I'll see how the fit is when it arrives.
Bump. Interested to know if this works for nexus 6 with a slim case. Anyone else have any car mount recommendations?
I have an Airframe+ and have been able to mount it with two different slim cases. No issues.
Used both -
Spigen Thin Fit - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OH4HVE8/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1
and
Generic Thin TPU 0.3mm - http://www.ebay.com/itm/281501478012
Is it a tight fit where you feel that your device is under stress? From the posts above, it seems that it barely fits without any give.
Can you elaborate further? Thanks
With the spigen ultra hybrid case you have to force it in. If you are rocking a naked phone or slim case it will be fine. I may just try to shave off a little bit of the kenu+ to reduce the stress with the case on.

"Were it so easy..."
I'm looking for a case that is rugged, but does not have a lot of rubber like the Otterboxes. Needs to work with wireless charging, and be able to be used with a tempered glass screen protector on the phone.
Which one do you think meets this criteria?
Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Tech21. Cheap on ebay. Best case on the market hands down.
I use Spigen Slim Armor, work fine with wireless charger even it's show slow charging massage .
Just a heads up everyone, I tried the Razer Word Case and was unhappy with the coverage/protection so I switched to the Tudia Merge. Better case all around, but it prevented the Razer Wireless Charger from quick charging. It would still charge (usually slowly), but I wanted good protection and quick wireless charging.
The Spigen delivered! Quick charging, good grip, full coverage, and it was a dollar cheaper on Amazon!
This will be what I'm sticking with.
I am not using the wireless charger, but I am also using the liquid air armor case and enjoy it quite well. I was hoping Spigen would release their "rugged armor" style series for this phone (I have used this style on several phones in the past), but I spoke with a rep at Spigen and they indicated they do not have plans to make that series for the RP2 at this time

I'm rocking the same case now. It's kinda great but it didn't stop me from denting the speaker grills but overall protection, it delivers.
Mine is arriving tomorrow.
I have always had spigen cases on my phones ad even after many drops from my daughter no phone has ever been damaged from a fall.
I expect this case to be as good!

I have one. Love it!
Is this bulkier or same size as the Tudia Merge case?
I got this case as well and it's awesome.
Initially I bought the Razer carbon fiber case, despite many reviews saying not to, and that thing was awful! It felt like paper, not very protective, and was more slippery than the phone!
Got this case as well. Not bulky at all in my opinion, and the case feels solidly good. the buttons are easy to press. would have liked to see a kickstand. no regrets!

+1.. I originally wanted the Razer case, but at ~$45, I wasn't about to spend that much. Went with the Spigen (looks exactly the same), and haven't looked back. I got it on Amazon for around $14 (IIRC), and it is perfect. Good texture for grip, doesn't impeded button usage at all, and looks really good. I've been kicking around getting the slate grey one on Amazon, but haven't really decided yet.
I had bought some cheap glass for the front and it flexed with the case on the sides, so I ordered a better glass. I ended up using the old glass on the back (in between the back and case) to cover the circle hole to keep the glass from getting etched. Wireless charging still works I think adds some rigidity. The super shieldz glass works best with the case for the front. It butts right up against the sides of the case with, no lifting or flexing of the glass.

If i put the spigen liquid air case on, i don't get fast charging. When i put the phone on the Razer wireless charger with the case on, it first indicates "charging slowly" and then it switches to "charging" but no "charging rapidly" anymore.
I know 40 is alot to spend on a case these days for sure. I do have to say though, that I shelled it out, got the Razer brand case and I honestly think it was well worth it. By far the most protective case you can get for this phone so if peace of mind is big for anyone I def recommend getting that case.
