[Q] Wireless Charging back plate - where and how much? - Verizon LG G3

Hello,
I thought I'd start a thread for when people find a wireless charging backplate that works with the Verizon G3.

---

I really hope they just make life easy and sell an identical sized wireless backplate so we can use whatever case we want. They really blew it.. But to be honest if I have the spare battery and external charger it's probably easier to just pop a fresh battery in when needed and the wireless is kind of unnecessary.

---

This isn't really in the right section.
I ordered the gold back that many AT&T owners bought on Monday. I'll let people know if it works. It doesn't say it's shipped yet, but he left feedback the day I bought it so I assume he just doesn't label it shipped like some other sellers. It's going from California to Virginia so I probably won't have it until Monday.

as I posted in the wireless charging thread;
LG makes a slim case backing that supports wireless charging. It is a case / replaces the back panel. It is on their site and shown as a pre order on some websites such as mobilefun.
new member, cant post links, sorry.

I posted in the main g3 thread, and figured I'd post here as well. Verizon now has the quick circle folio case with qi charging on the main site. It isn't on the business site, but they were able to take my order over the phone no problem.

Good to know it is indeed qi. There were a couple rumors that it was possibly powermat. Most people didn't think that, but it's nice to have confirmation.

AT&T doesnt use Qi, so this wouldnt work for VZW users. AT&T uses powermat.

I only get a 15% disc on the folio case from vzw.com so it would be $47.69 with tax .. do y'all think its worth that?

Yes but before people realized this, they bought a qi international edition back on ebay. It's never been confirmed that they work and aren't fake somehow because no one without an AT&T version has tried it. It's qi, not powermat.

only in black and $60, lame

You probably have selected the wrong case if your looking for the qi version, if you want the charging version it is $59.99 base. with 15% off pre tax it should be $51.00

You can just take the qi part out and put it in your phone though.

Ill wait for the other stuff that the S3/4/5 have - 20 dollar add on thing that goes in the back.

---

What about the European version? Hope we can just purchase a back for the European version somewhere as I believe it comes with QI charging built in.

I was considering doing the same, but I'd hate to put out the cash and it not work. I mean Qi is just one part of the equation, are the pins in the same spot?
I have the Verizon case in my shopping cart but I don't really want the circle case and I'm still looking for instructions for how to "transplant" the wireless charging bits to the stock Verizon back.

That may not be released. Wouldn't make much sense to make a custom wireless charging adapter for a phone that already supports wireless charging. The backs on ebay probably will go down eventually. I got mine for $30 but it's gone up since then.

And why there is no wireless charging out of box Even if VZW just get a 10% attach rate, it would be $3,000,000 in revenue if VZW sold 500,000 G3's. That would be about $2,500,000 of pure profit (that is after product, box and shipping/handling costs).

Took a look at the Verizon LG G3's today. They do not have 4 connectors, only 2 that I assume is NFC. It did appear to have 2 coils on the back cover but I could easily be mistaken. Here are a few pics of the insides of the Verizon G3:

That's the question YOU have to answer, is it worth it to you?
