Cases that work with the wireless charging door - Thunderbolt Accessories

Well as the title says, does anyone know of any case that will work with the wireless charging door w/out me having to either modify it myself or use a gel case and just stretch it?

No idea. I had to modify my otterbox hard case by removing the padded material inside it. Works like a charm.
I am not aware of any cases out now that are designed for it.
Have you noticed a crappy charge on the mat?

No, haven't noticed that. Then again i just got it friday though, so i haven't had enough time with it to get a full feel from it. When your phone is fully charged does the flashing green light on the pad go solid for you?

No. It was still flashing this morning but the phone said charged.

Interesting. Are you running a custom rom at all? I'm running the latest RC for CM7. Not sure if it's something kernel related or if it just always does that.

I'm running CM7 1.5.2 so we are experiencing the same problem. Running slayhers kernel.
I can't comment on any other type of rom or kernel.

I had the extended for awhile i couldn't get over the bulk of it .
Have a hero and a TP2 so i just keep 2 charged batterys at a time and switch
I found the cheap ones work just as-well as the 60 dollar ones at best buy aslong as you condition them
I only paid $13 for this battery. I haven't even seen it's full potential yet. I'm a bit worried cause now I cannot use a case for it..but gives me more reason to try going red with it. Anyway, I was switching between 3 batteries and it wore out
My back. It was convenient yet annoying. So these batteries just need some conditioning?

I got mine for 8 dollars on Amazon lasted 2 days all i would do is calibrate at 100% completely drain then repeat for the first few charge cycles.
Worked like a charm just couldn't get over the girth
Hmm I see. I can get used to it, I just cannot have it in my pocket at work anymore. And its no longer protected so it is risky but I needed a change since I'm not getting the 3D right now lol

I am going to assume you checked the obvious of a loose battery. Does it vibrate and go off or when you shake it the power goes off?
I believe this would be hardware not software. You can check by flashing a known good Rom. But first check the contact points on your battery. Rub them clean, and make sure they are "springy"
I check the battery and it fits well but it is one of those monster batteries so it could fit loose in there..it does just shut down not a power cycle... thanks kenny guess ill have to go back to stock batt

Try ripping off the cover of a book of matches and placing it between the the battery and the cover. It worked when I used the giant battery.

Exacty Brooklyn, that's what I had to do with my extended battery. It would shut off when I closed the keyboard to hard. A thin piece of cardboard fixed that.

I had to do the exact same thing. anytime I slammed my KB shut the phone would power off.
I just put a matchbook cover on top of the battery and the issue was resolved
I had to do the same thing... you think they would test these batteries a little better before public release.
which exteded battery do you have my gorilla gadgets did that switched to the hyperion doesnt do it anymore.
Yes. Loose battery. Only happens when you buy those cheap ginormous batteries. Careful, I had a friend that lost a left nut when that thing overheated and exploded. I kid you not!

Yes I know it would be huge, But armbands? Any recommendations?

So Im in the process of my attempt to not be a fatass. And im looking for a solution for some sort of armband that would fit the epic touch. Ive looked at a few things on amazon. But nothing that I would trust ordering since there are no real reviews. Anyone have on for there epic touch? And can recommend one?

For those that don't want to have to go to another thread:
Armband for E4GT that you can use a case with as well.
I was about to order this one myself.

I fully support this armbelt: http://www.amazon.com/Armband-Otter...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330538858&sr=1-1
It will fit your E4GT with the TPU case on and it doesn't wiggle. If you WANT it to wiggle, get the bigger model AB85.

but on that arm belt do you have to take out the phone everytime you want to change the song on the phone ?
Nope, you can control the phone directly inside the case. Touchscreen works fine too (I have a screen protector on as well).

Wireless charging and case?

I've got the wireless charging battery cover from Verizon on my phone. It makes the phone a bit thicker. I was wondering if there were any cases out there that can accommodate the extra size. I currently use a Cruzerlite case that I cut a little bit to allow expansion but I'd like something a bit cleaner.
TIA for any input!

You can get wireless charging inlays that fit inside the original battery lid and as such don't increase the thickness of the device
Interesting, never heard of that. Do you have a link?

They're practically impossible to miss, just search ebay or any number of other places for "s3 qi inlay"
Has anyone experienced any issues with the inlays? I just got a wireless qi charger and the Verizon rear case for the phone and have just been putting up with the added thickness. I wouldn't mind considering the inlays though.

They make it a bit thicker and bow the back out very slightly.
To those who currently have a qi wireless charger. Few questions as I'm about to get one.. Does the charging pad get warm? Is it ok to keep plugged in or could it be a possible fire hazard? Stupid question, I know, but I have a hard time trusting cheap stuff from china, lol. Does wireless charging charge as fast as USB? Thanks!

Occasionally. Yes it's fine. And it depends on the pad and the receiver on your phone. Mine is 650mA so it's slightly faster than USB

I wouldn't skimp on the stuff tho. I spent like $50 for my charging pad. Its got two spots and it's made by Energizer.

the pad can get warm but it's fine.
it's not going to blow up or anything.
you can also keep an eye out for the dt500 charging pad that nokia has for the lunia series. they go on sale often for $25.

1. Slightly warm when in use.
2. Yes, it's fine to leave it plugged in. My one at my office desk sits on top of a pile of papers and hasn't set anything on fire yet.
I personally own this receiver (which I use with this pad, though my pads are black rather than white), which works well though my lifeproof case. No dice with the Otterbox Armour case though.
I'd recommend avoiding this charger. It doesn't work worth a damn through a case and constantly connects/disconnects.
I have the same receiver inlay as compo01, using it with a variety of pads, including an official Samsung S4 one that I modded into an ugly but functionally awesome dock

my phone gets warm during the initial charging but once it hits 100% it cools down real fast. I can think of only one other thing in this case.. you might not be aligned correctly.. but i would not think that's the case since you seem to be able to get to 100% with no problem...
I have the Verizon and the monster watts WiQiQi kit. I mainly use the Verizon back cover even though it means I can't put a case on. The WiQiQi is a nice kit but when I use it with my preferred case, one with a stand , The screen distorts and bulges. But I put the WiQiQi in my fathers phone with an otterbox and he has no issues.

Case for wireless charging back?

Hey guys, first post here...
Despite being described as the same size as the original back, the Samsung wireless charging back is not even close. Now my otterbox doesn't fit, my tech21 doesn't fit... And it's a struggle to get my Bodyglove shocksuit to fit and just feels awkward.
Any suggestions on a case that will work with this? I love not having a case on it but am horrified at the possibilities that can come from having no case...
Thanks in advance!

I returned my wireless-charging back plate and got one of these instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GV0Q78M/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
works flawlessly with the stock back cover, and then in my Seidio Surface kickstand case.
I use the same thing edouble312 posted and I use it in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I leave the original back cover off the phone so that the bump caused by the charger isn't so noticeable.
There are whole threads on wireless charging in the Note 3 accessories threads.
And that works with the Samsung official pad yes? Just starting to dabble into the wireless thing...
