rooCASE Dual-View Multi Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for Sony Tablet S1 - From Amazon.com, USD$29.92 + Free Super Saving Shipping or Free Two-Day Shipping with Prime
I bought this last week and managed to use it over the weekend. The look and feel is genuine leather with micro suede interior. It doesn't feel bulky on the slate side but over on the wrap design, it isn't too bulky. The case itself is very light weight and durable.
There are two parts to the case itself; the cover that goes on the tablet itself and the outer case that wraps around the cover and tablet. The cover on the tablet is removable from the case and is attached to the case via velcro (velcro on the inside of the case and felt on the rear cover). It comes with a magnetic flap closure. Their are openings around the cover that gives access to all ports and controls. The cover isn't blocking the front camera, rear camera, or the IR remote.
This will NOT work on the cradle, however.
There are three angles you can place the tablet. Since this is a dual-view multi angle case, you can have the tablet placed in landscape or portrait mode and utilize the three different angles.
This is a better option than the carry case offered by Sony. I would highly recommend this. I've actually accidentally dropped it once with case and cover on, and there was no damage to the tablet or the case itself.
Im wanting to get this case. Question, do you detach the tablet and reposition in portrait using the velcro part?

Yes, you do.
I thought we'd start a thread to help those with the Official Sumsung Wireless Charging Cover find a case that fits.
Please share a link and description if you've found any. Thanks!

This is what I'm using and works great with the wireless back:

Another one here, too:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F5QIVLO/
These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.
One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.

This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.

Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.
Thanks for the links!
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.
Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.

I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.
This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.
Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Try that insert...
Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in

Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...
I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
To start off, let me explain my situation. I originally purchased the Spigen SAV to add protection and Sview to my note. It lasted about 3 weeks and the screen clips broke (the part that holds the top door to the hinge). Called Spigen and they said I would get a one time replacement and keep the broken window. Received the new window. 4 weeks later, the hinge broke (the part that connects the hinge to the bottom of the case). I'm not paying another dime for such a glaring issue with their case.
Since the SAV was not going to do what I wanted (no slim view since the window broke off 2x), I decided to think about what I really wanted on the phone. I ended up getting a wireless back (I had bought a charger for $10) and will be purchasing a bumper case. I really like the cheap one that latches instead of using screws. I wil also be putting a tempered glass screen on. My wife bought a tempered glass from AT&T for $40 and they installed it for free. She has a Sprint S5.
Summary of above:
Spigen SAV is a crap case. Getting wireless charging back, bumper case, tempered glass.
Here is where I need help: I want to add sview option to the setup. Since I am no longer using the back for the sview, I am using the xposed mod which allows a magnet to turn it on. I would like to figure out if it is possible to use a small piece of metal between the phone and the bumper that I can put a hinge on to attach either a magnet or one of the windows I have left over. In the event that it is not possible to fit a small piece of metal between the 2, is there some way I can get sview working without spending any more money on a case and without having to "hold" a magnet to the screen every time I want sview?
Thanks for any help
I went shopping for an extra battery but came across this back cover/ rubber bumper. I like this case because it doesn't add any extra weight to the phone while still maintaining a low profile. All of the metal edge is covered. That is a pro and con. I love the metal bezel, so hiding it with the bumper takes away from the phone. BUT, it won't get dinged and dented like my buddy with the Note4.
The back cover has more texture than the original cover. It is more raised like small braille dots (if that makes sense). Also the bumper does not separate from the back cover. You can remove the original back cover and slide this case on. It will work, but it doesn't snap into the phone like the original cover. It stays in place by wrapping around the front. I kept my back cover on because of my Qi charger. So, it's slightly thicker. The bumper case does not push the Qi contacts into place; therefore no charging.
Attached are pictures.
I think this kind of case take off all the beauty of the device..
Good looking case. What is the Model number and where did you get it from?

Purchased at a Samsung store in Moscow, Russia. I was looking for them in the states but can't find it. Model: EF-PG850BSEGRU.
Let me know if you want one, I'm heading back to Russia in late April and can pick one up for you. It cost around 25USD.
Recently bought this case on Amazon. Got it in the mail today, returning it tomorrow. Just an FYI to those that might think about buying it. Really flimsy case. The actual phone holder that is glued inside the plasticy cardboard case itself is not glued at all in the left hand side, perhaps by design to make the case easier to flip the back around when you have it open, but this case just feels so cheap. When you just have it opened and not flipped and tucked back in behind, the piece that holds the phone just rocks back and forth when you type or use the phone at all.
Just not happy with the case at all. Not sure if the LG Circle Case would be build better, but buyer beware on this one.
