Thought that someone here would be interested since this is an AWESOME and very sought after case, and US compatible Qi for the Sprint / T-Mobile / Verizon models D850 D851 D855 VS985 LS990 (As seen in photos) is a sought after feature. This is both combined. It's pricey but I guess fairly priced since separately it would cost more for this setup. The seller also ships 1-3 days from the UNITED STATES!
I have the Slim Guard case and it blows all other cases out of the water. Completely replaces the battery door and adds a bumper with a lip. This is the thinnest, lightest case I think you can buy.
Here is the link:
MOD EDIT
Oh and the seller also has regular OEM battery doors with built in QI / NFC in Black for the best price I've seen yet

The Slim Guard case has been discussed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/lg-g3-oem-slim-guard-case-review-t2819320. The case is Korean model and all the seller did was rip off the NFC sticker and installed the Qi sticker chip in its place.
And the battery door has been discussed in multiple threads on the forums.

This is different. It has the U.S. VARIANT Qi Wireless Charging + NFC chip inside, not the Korean.
It is compatible with Models D850 D851 D855 VS985 LS990
This is a much different item, and people should know it's available.

Actually, he didn't "rip off the sticker and replace it". It was manufactured like that, you can get them in bulk if you know the right websites.

Because LG doesn't manufacture a Slim Guard case without it. They only make 1 version, and that's the one with the cutout and wrong pins. What these factories in Hong Kong, and China do is order them in bulk and assemble them in their factories.
Think about it. If they did, then you could just go to the Verizon store or BestBuy and get one. They only made the QuickCircle case for US.
Are you the seller? You seem to be sticking up for the seller quite hard. If it's going to be posted/sold, at least post accurate information. That's one thing I don't like is false advertising and deceiving buyers.
If it's been modified, state it. It has the wireless US charging stickers but the case is Korean. This case is not sold in the US. If it was indeed purchased like that, the seller may not have ripped off the sticker but whoever the seller is buying it from did modify it so that it works on US carriers. I know because I installed the Qi chip onto a Slim Guard for a customer and it looks exactly the same thing.
Look at the black sticker. There's a bulge at the bottom. Obviously, someone applied the sticker and did a poor job at it. The same goes for lining up the black sticker near the pin. If you look by the gold pins, there is letterings hidden behind the black heat dispatching sticker.

The same as the Qi sticker chips.
OEM Qi stickers don't have any markings whether its white or black
The wireless charging does NOT work on D850. That is AT&T model. The only thing that would work is the NFC.

Not arguing just pointing out the facts. So what you're saying is what I'm implying...its been modified. Chinese companies buy the case and install the Qi chips.
It's great to see more selections but at least post accurate info. That's my point of the reply
Like I said earlier. The US charging back plates DO NOT EXIST. LG doesn't make them. So OF COURSE they are made in a factory somewhere. Even the non US LG back plates that do come with qi charging are made the SAME EXACT WAY by LG. Someone in a factory putting the stickers on. Think

US chip as in it works for US carriers...yes. But even though 20hall's link is for UK model, it still works in the US.
From 20hall, the model number is CCH-320G

Where's my $200? because the CCH-320G has no cut out. Need more proof?

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...
Jim
I bought from this seller too !
quality of case & Film is great
but have a little problem about I order black one but sent me red one.
& I e-mail to seller to tell about this problem
he so kind. I deal with him with refund 10% from price. it's not much but I like his responsibility.

I bought this gel case and these styluses,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.

P.S. My SGP5s are all US versions.
Just wanna share this.

Here its the demo video for the Galaxy S4 case. this is almost the same, but with slim waist
Review from the regular Powerfull Case. this is the same but with a curvey slim waist shape. all the protection are the same:
And here is the official web:
http://www.lovemeicase.com/pro.asp?id=45
Looks nice but I wonder if it will fit the wireless charge back that I have. I also notice it needs two screws so for those who change batteries often, you'll have to carry the screwdriver. Otherwise, it looks awesome. Thanks for the link!
Are you sure that this case is as resistant as the one on the video? Because I'm thinking about getting one, and I like this one more than the one on the video, but if you can't throw it on the floor and "drive a car over it", what's the point of it?. It looks great but it's really big and Note 3 is already big. So if you don't get perfect protection than there's no point of getting one..
thx for the link

Hi, yes, its the same technology, but with another shape. here its the video of the small waist, but for the iPhone 5:
do, im not sure if it can resist a car, or the motorcycle like on this video, but its a rugged case and it will protect your $700 bucks inversion.
hope it doesn't hurt reception and gps like the original love mei case does. I bought the regular one and while it's badass and crazy protection, I can't use it due to reception getting knocked down.

I am using it right now to type this. I have been using the regular model for about two months now and the gps is the only issue I have. I just got the slim waist model from a friend today. She said that it killed her signal at her house, but she lives in the woods and only gets 2 bars at best. I live in town and I'm fluctuating between 3-4 bars all the time. I have not tried the GPS since I put the new case on. I'll upload a few pictures in just a second for those interested. I like the case a lot.
I am a police officer and I keep it in the front pocket of my outer vest. It gets rained on regularly and I just wipe the water off the screen and keep going. The silicone on the back makes it grip your dash perfect without sticking in your pocket.
I got my first off Amazon and the case I'm using now came from eBay. Both were shipped from China and it took about two weeks. Both came in nice packaging and the quality of the cases is great. I'll answer any questions you can come up with. I just discovered the thread.

Love Mei Note 3 Case
Well I can say for sure that this case is a TANK as far as protection goes. Now, I did contact someone from the company to make sure that the problems with the previous version of the case was fixed and he said yes. So I bought one, Black on Black.The new waist design is cool, but some of the reported problems STILL exist. NO 4G LTE inside a building or residence. I had to remove the mesh behind the ear speaker in order to hear anyone. The bottom speakers work very well. The screen most definitely is not SMUDGE or FINGER PRINT proof. I know that no screen actually is, but this screen is freak-en bad. So DO NOT GET ONE IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS BOTHER YOU. Especially you OCD clean screen freaks. The aluminum is just as bad with finger prints, sorry. The rubber on the back and sides is a DUST MAGNET. The phone is very heavy, but with all that said, I am very happy with buying it. I bought it through EBAY for $30.00, and it did ship very quickly from China. I wanted a heavy duty case to protect my $700.00 investment and I found it. I am a law enforcement officer and a gym rat, so this case will go through hell and back. The issues I mentioned do not bother me, but may bother some, so I hope I answered all questions.
Respectfully,
Rick Davila :fingers-crossed:
Be nice to see some pictures or a video of the new slim waist version please, nothing to be found as of yet anywhere online, aside from the official website.....
anyone who wants a yellow one, I'll sell ya mine for what I paid for it ($30). I'll pay the postage.
it is a tank and will protect like no other, but can't stand how heavy it makes it and the gps reception and cell signal is unacceptable.
I ended up buying a Kraken case for the days I need real protection and on the normal days I run the Aegis.

Can you snap some pics of the case with phone installed please? There are none online
I may just remove the metal areas that cover the antennas, if needed.....
Is your case genuine, or one of the cheaper clones?
Just got my QuickCircle case and I want to share my thoughts with everyone.
Size: Although the case is suppose to replace the back panel of the phone, the size of this case is a little bigger thicker than the original back plate. Gripping the phone is also a little bit harder and a bit uncomfortable when the flap is opened and flipped to the back while using the phone.
Colour: I got the blue one and it looks very nice with the white version of the phone.
Software: As you've probably read in official reviews of this case, the software experience is limited and are proprietary to LG's selected software. There is a vast selection of watch faces which all looks really nice. The white light that circles around the parameter looks fantastic but i only wished it looped around a few more times before it disappeared. It only did half a loop, from top to bottom either way.
Connectivity: This case comes with NFC and Qi Charging enabled wish to some may be an upgrade as i've heard that the US and Korean variant do not come with Qi charging capability.
Other Thoughts: The flap can unlock and lock the screen automatically if you wish to set it that way. However, i wish there was a magnetic strip that can keep the flap in place even if I were to flip the phone faced down hanging. I'm not a case kinda guy so this is my first time with a case, i only bought it to play with the QuickCircle function. Let's see if this case is good enough for me to keep it on at least for a while.

I'm mainly interested in the QI Charging capabilities of this cover.
If you were to detach the front cover/flap,does it appear that the back portion would look decent & have a tight seal (along the edge of the phone) w/o the front cover?
Just ordered the black one on Ebay.
$55 with free shipping.

if you look at the pics you can see that it over laps. it's not the same size as the stock back so I'd imagine removing the flap would make it look strange. a mother option might be to buy one, remove the qi Charing area and put that on a stock back. maybe?

I've been searching for it as well and I haven't had any success. I checked almost every Chinese website that carries phone cases that I could think of. I have a strong feeling that they weren't released yet. I also checked ebay and its various foreign versions.

Different To UK
Just so some know, the wireless capability is already built into the phone in the UK. Means not only is the case cheaper, no added bulk as the case doesn't incorporate anything extra for wireless charging. The back is basically a direct replacement.
Just saw the unboxing and compare of the Korean vs. international version. Looks like the qi charging points are a tad diffrent. really hope the circle case I have bought still works with the US version when released.

That's weird - wouldn't that mean they'd have to produce two different circle caes?
Yea, hoping someone can try the case on both. I could have just been mislead by the video, angles, ect.

Here is a picture
Guy in the t-mobile thread who has the t-mobile version verified that his is like the international version (pins with a gap). So guess I am going to have to go through the hassel of returning my case to Korea.
That's very strange as they'd then have to make two different circle cases.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
Hey folks - I was debating if I really wanted the "Extra step" of flipping the phone open to do my stuff, etc blah blah... SO....
I was wondering if they offer battery covers with wireless charging that AREN'T using the Circle Case? There's still a good chance I'll get the circle case anyway, but I wanted to explore my options. A couple Google searches didn't get any luck, hoping the community knows more than I do(highly likely)
Thanks!

That's a lot of good information. One thing I want to point out and get your feedback on is that the LG G3 Slim Guard link that you posted above seems to be for Qi charging and not PMA. I looked at that link earlier and followed the link to the eBay listing the guy said he got it from. Apparently, that particular case doesn't match up with my contacts.
HOWEVER, on that note... with the link you sent for antenna's above, does that mean I am free to get almost any case as long as I replace the wireless charging piece in the back with the antenna in that link?
Similar question - can I just replace the antenna in the stock battery cover?

Yes, everything I linked is for Qi charging, I dont know of anything available currently for PMA, but I havent looked.
You can use it on any BACK not case unless the case directly replaces the battery back, because inside the back is where the contacts are located.
And yes, as I mentioned, you can replace the antenna inside your stock battery back, but I dont know of the ramifications of using a qi antenna on the AT&T phone, there has been discussion, but since I dont have an AT&T phone I dont know. It probably wont work.
EDIT:
apologies, I guess I misread that the second post and the first post were both you (same person) I thought it was someone replying to your opening post asking for an AT&T version as well. So my information may not be terribly helpful.
Doing a lot of searching.... how can I differentiate visually between PMA or Qi?
Does PMA have the four contacts grouped in two's and Qi has all four contacts directly side by side? Or can that contact layout be for both?

The ONLY PMA case/antenna is in the Att quick circle case as of now. Your phone has the pins spread apart. The close pin grouping is only for the Korean models I.e. F400S/K/L. If you have the Att model that's the D850.

Here is a seller on eBay that sells the White and Gold battery/back covers with Wireless Qi. http://stores.ebay.com/Cellphone-Parts/_i.html?_nkw=g3 This way you can use whatever case you'd like.
The prices temporarily jump to over $100 when their stock is low. It goes down to a normal price of ~$35 USD or less when it is back in stock.
Reports have been that it works with the Sprint and Verizon models so far. T-Mobile should be fine too. No go on AT&T as they suck and only support the much less popular PMA standard.
My two Shine Gold battery covers should be arriving today for me to test out with my Nokia DT-900 Qi chargers.

Got it - so the pins layout isn't indicative of Qi vs PMA.... that is decided by the internal hardware, which from my knowledge PMA is only AT&T.
So there's no option of perhaps transplanting an antenna from a QuickCircle case into a standard case/cover? I saw talk about it - but don't know if there was any successes.

Reports have been that it works with the Sprint and Verizon models so far. T-Mobile should be fine too. No go on AT&T as they suck and only support the much less popular PMA standard.
My two Shine Gold battery covers should be arriving today for me to test out with my Nokia DT-900 Qi chargers.

I can confirm that the cases from the eBay seller "Cellphone-Parts" DO work with the Nokia DT-900 charger. I really dislike the Shine Gold color, but I have a case covering that hideous color up. Too bad a black/titanium color back wasn't available.
