Just purchased this from Amazon http://amzn.com/B0041RRORA and it works perfectly with the inductive cover from Verizon
I will post pictures tomorrow after work, but here are some pictures of the battery door on the device. They are $39.99 from Verizon, but I got 2 for that same price, they owed me big from past issues.
So total I spent $70 for the kit and I can charge 2 devices at once, so it's win win for me and my gf. Only downside is that non of my cases fit anymore going to have to see if I can find one that will be able to protect my phone and have the wireless charging capabilities.

Go for it! def works great and wasn't hard to do. Just take your time.
/sigh ...
Why does the Verizon GSIII and only the Verizon GSIII have to have 2 sets if pins for inductive charging while every single other variant available just has the 1?... I really wonder what's the difference is between the different pins by the sim splot and the pins all the GSIIIs have off to the side.
Thanks for the pics. Been wanting to see the pin out inside these Verizon backs.

how did you measure where to put the Qi pad from the old cover to the new cover or did you just eye ball it?

Well I'm doubting these covers will work on non Verizon GS3s seeing as only 1 set of pins would be connected to the device and not the pins at the bottom near the sim slot which are present on the black strip on the cover.
I don't know for sure as I really don't want to spend the money on something that may or may not work for my phone and none of the Verizons around me have it to go in and try. I would love to be proven it does work with the others. Samsung is taking too long releasing the official kit.

Once i pulled the wireless charger off of the verizon case. I turned my phone over put the wireless charger onto my phone and then just put the back of the otterbox straight onto the phone and charger.. when your peeling the wireless charger off the case if you go slow the tape will come off with it and then it will just stick straight to the otterbox.
Once I get home I'll post better pictures, but I tried T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T Galaxy S3 and they all charged fine with the Verizon Inductive battery cover

They have them at Verizon stores, they are pricey though ($40 plus $30 for the pad) I'm sure once they are more available, they will be cheaper. But it's worth it to me to not have to strain the usb port. Think I am going to make one for my car center console. I will post pictures if I ever get to it.

Looks pretty good and has room to charge another battery while your phone is docked and charging.

Hm.. nice find. That is tempting. I wish it was a bit cheaper.
I'll probably pick one up anyways to use at work. Looks like it won't fit a tbolt with a case.

Yeah looks like the TB will have to be naked to fit in this dock. Please post your review as soon as you get it.
If you wait a bit, I'm certain you'll be able to find it cheaper on ebay. You should start seeing other chineese companies selling them for much less, but shipped from China (slower to get here though).
I have the Incredible dock that is similar, and hacked it up to hold the phone with a case on it (doesn't look pretty, but it DOES work).
yep i bought one from amazon...listed that its for the merge but it fits....its tight but it fits...also it has to be naked..which sucks, but the for the price its a good deal

I had that problem on my charger for the DInc, and it ended up the actual USB plug housing had split apart, and the plug was sliding back into the housing. I ended up fixing it (mine came from china, so no recourse there), and it still works fine. Just curious if that was the problem with your unit or not.
Also looks like you can get it cheaper on ebay now. As with anything from China, you take a gamble on quality... I might pick one up and see if it works with my pop case, although the USB header might be a tad too short to reach and some plastic will definitely have to be shaved off to get it to fit the back.
Anyone find a charger without the big extra battery back?

Yes, it has to be naked in order to fit into the dock.
I have 23 of these in stock... tested one and it works great.
Any questions let me know.
I ordered one too - figured not too big of a risk for that $$ and my TB will be staying naked anyway. $25 shipped on Ebay vs $60(!) for the official one.
Edit:
Funny, as soon as I posted this, the dock arrived - FAST shipping! The dock is not bad, works fine. The only complaint I have is that the phone is held almost completely vertical, no angle at all really. So that makes it a little awkward for watching video but not too bad. Charges fine, USB works fine, insertion and removal is easy. As stated before, you cannot use a case with this dock, it is a snug fit. Slot on the back for charging a second battery.
Time will tell with the durability, but it serves my needs well - easy place to plug in and charge at my office desk. Recommended especially considering the price. If the HTC dock has HDMI (I doubt it) then maybe it will be worth $60. In the meantime this is shipping and shipping fast!
I'd buy one of these if the extended battery would fit on the dock :/

I ordered one as well, and your complaint is the same as mine...
The phone is almost vertical when docked.
I will not be using it.
In fact if anyone wants it, I'd sell it for 20 bucks shipped (US only).
FWIW Newegg has them for $28, but they are out of stock right now....
Dock
Hey everybody. I'm reviewing the RnD charging dock that charges a spare battery. It isn't the 3 pin charger, its a micro USB charger. I've had one of these for my thunderbolt and I liked it.

On Amazon, it didn't specify if it was for the LTE or GSM version. Its for the GSM version. Although the LTE version fits with both the standard and extended battery (which is what I got), the spare battery slot on the back will only fit the standard GSM battery which is smaller than the LTE so no guys, the spare slot does not charged any extended battery nor the LTE standard battery as I've tried
The dock has a micro USB port in the back and it comes with a USB wall adapter which is like and I think it charges the phone pretty damn quit
There is a blue light in they front that tells you its charging. It only stays blue. I wish it would turn red to tell you its fully charged but it only stays blue. Not much of a big deal but its just something I wished it would do
On Amazon it says it fits without taking the case off your phone. Obviously for us LTE users, its a no go. But for GSM users, I'm sure it will take a really thin case to fit into the cradle. I'm not sure if you can notice very small spaces in the pictures before but those are supposed to be for the case to fit
I do not recommend this but I do have a thin case on my LTE GNex that I got from Best Buy when I bought it and I managed to get it to fit into the dock with some force but I do not recommend it lol
Okay guys for $20, this isn't a bad option to have til we wait for the 3 pin dock to come out. I enjoyed RnD in the past and I expect to enjoy it again. Hope someone I some how helped someone out there with this little review. Any questions just ask
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006O45K9C/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1327594113&sr=8-1

Thanks for the review. I wonder if it will fit the GSM version with a casemate barely there case. I may just buy it.. lol
I just bought this too
I just purchased this dock and i agree. good quality and fits like a glove. nice weight to it too, so you can use the touchscreen without it feeling like its going to fall over.
on top of that. i just got the 2100mah extended battery with the larger battery cover... and it fits! a bit tighter... but not a problem at all.

I noticed in your pics that there was no insert/adapter. Mine came with an additonal plastic insert that snapped into the dock. I dont use a case, and this made it fit snugly.

If anyone here at XDA would buy this one for me and sent it to Denmark, I would appriciate that and and I will of course pay all costs..

Lol I never got that insert
Came home from work to find mine chilling in the door and my first thought was a "meh". It fits my LTE GN with the official extended battery well (snug, but I'm not fighting to dock it) and it's balanced enough that I feel secure that it's not about to tip over in use. As said before, the second battery charger isn't big enough for the LTE battery, but I wasn't planning on using that anyhow.
Overall, it's a good deal better than the *nothing* I was using, but I'm a little annoyed that the listing on Amazon didn't indicate which version of the device was for. Given what I know now, I don't regret picking it up, but doing it over again, I would have likely kept shopping around.

Hey everyone, i was going through Ebay and noticed that they finally got a new design
for that aluminum bumper case they've been selling. I've seen this one before in another
thread but there was never a link for us to purchase. This case seems to be a lot thinner
than the previous Aluminum bumper. I already purchased a silver one.

What do y'all think?
looks good let us know how it goes .
seems to me it would fit an extended battery
But I don't see how the cover fits on !
They do look nice and hopefully someone can get some pics of them on their Nexus's. And hopefully they do fit the Verizon version. I know Aluminum bumpers dont have any give in them and thats why they have been incompatible before so hope the description is accurate.
I'm assuming that the case is a snap on. I was looking at some of the Cruzer Lite cases, but I think this will be a decent replacement for about the same price.

The case itself is two pieces but I think its more of a slip on bumper than a snap on. You can refer to this post to check out a review.

Um... you do realize that the VZW version is thicker right?
I've found that people will list the Verizon Model in the item name but sell accessories that do not fit the Verizon model.
For example, I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30070173227...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2978wt_1275
Not noticing the description said:
"Galaxy Nexus CDMA SCH-i515, Galaxy Nexus GSM i9250"
And ended up with a case that didn't fit properly. When I messaged them about it they said I ordered the wrong thing regardless of how the item was named.
As a result I tend to look in the description for the specific word Verizon before I get anything.
If the one you get fits that'd be great. This is just a heads up if anything

Hey joey. Good find. Let us know when you get it if it does indeed fit, I'm actually really interested to see if it would. I'm also wondering if it would fit extended batteries based on the fact that it appears to be more of a bumper than a case.

The case on the picture is exactly the same. The cutouts and sliding mechanism are the same all the way. It's just good to see those bumpers are now available without direct export. Enjoy them they look good in real.
Looks pretty neat. I'm wondering if it affects the phone's signal. $15...I'd like to review it but kinda expensive for a case.
Most people had issues with GPS after using this case. I thought I remember hearing it messed with cell signal as well, but I can't remember; if you do a search you can see that these are not worth it.

sorry, but that seems to be the only choice unless you can find an ebay seller who sells in the UK.
You might want to contact that seller to get them to ship the receiver pad to you.
I would've suggested against getting the transmitter from them to begin with though. apparently the 2nd gen ones are picky and unreliable.

Something you don't want to hear, is these receiver are becoming unreliable just like the transmitter, with cases reported to either DOA or stop working after a while with some of the new batches, there are some good new, it's only a small %.
Apparently it's all related to rushed production with bad QC due to great demand.
Mostly with the name 'Charmlink' printed on the front label, so it's best to ask if there is warranty for them.
Another option for Canada and USA buyers, this guarantees no bulky look because it replaces a new cover for you.:good:

that's pretty slick. Should have been stock from Samsung so cases were built off those specs. I would imagine any case that fits well won't work with that cover. Still pretty sweet setup.
that back piece will not fit with any case whatsoever. It's a different size and you'll either have to mod the case or the battery cover.
The receiver pad by itself would add a slight bump that can be circumvented with a more "restricting" case like the otterbox or the ballistic sg

That's because the new case makes the phone thicker, but no bulk because the bulk is hidden by the thickness of the cover..... That's why ,out of all those pics in the Ad, not one shows what the inside of the Cover looks like....LOL...they are thinking it will scare buyers off...lol.,...

Samsung didn't and does not plan for the phone to be as thick as it will be with this cover on....Here is a Pic of what the other side looks like....now you get a better idea of how thick it is....They left the pics of the back off , out of the Ad for a reason....LOL..

got my Qi pad from Fasttech today. Ordered the 28th, shipped the 30th. Arrived today. Currently $14.80 shipped Also got the wireless charger from Nokia. $38 with company discount (otherwise about $50) from ATT or Verizon. Works like a champ.
Fun Facts
Fits under OEM cover. Small Hump, barely noticeable. (< 1/16 inch hump)
Diztronic TPU Matte Black Case fits great
Charges about 10% in 30 Minutes. Similar to plug.
NFC works fine. Zero issues.
for Reference, I am running DarthStalker X, Stock Kernel.
yup. the Qi receiver pad seems the be the best choice in terms of getting to put your own case of choice as well as not losing NFC at the same time.
I believe the charging speed is a little faster than usb but slower than AC (according to the receiver pad).
the more flexible cases seem to be the ones that can cope with the bump.
Could anyone recommend a trusted website or seller to by the charging pad from?

I only know of ebay or directly contacting the manufacturer... both aren't 100% trustworthy.. but it seem to have worked with other members here.

Thanks for the replies since those are my only options, do either of you or any one else recommend a brand of the charging pads? I know there's the palm touch stone, duracel, powermat and so on. But what would you guys recommend?

Has anyone tried one of these qi receiver tags that plugs into your Micro USB port?

I know they aren't optimal, but I figured if it works it would be a good hold over until good ones come out for the G3 specific.
I will let you know when my phone gets in, I have one left over from my LG G2. I don't see why it shouldn't work though.

Thanks. Any idea which one I should look at getting? Haven't seen a good enough shot of the micro USB port to make sure I get one facing the right direction. I've got Amazon Prime so I'll probably get one from there to test.
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-micro-USB/dp/B00H7FJX7M/
That one is on Amazon, Prime, and has 2 different models. Anyone seen a close enough photo to know which one we'd need? Port A or Port B?
I'm going to try to find one with a metal plug instead of this plastic one.
This one has tons of different options. Less than $11 on prime.

Sorry for the multiple posts, I thought it would collapse them.
From what I saw in pictures, it should be this one correct?

If so I'll pick one up today so its here for testing when my phone arrives.
Yes I got one and didn't work.
Didn't charge at all? Can you give us some specifics?
No didn't even register on the phone. It was only $7. I ended up ripping out the Quick Circle charging coil and putting it in my phone. Works a treat!
Thanks. Do you know exactly which one you used (perhaps a link to where you purchased) so those of us that want to test other ones skip it?

Im using this one; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HI8JYFE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No problems after all. Working OK with my F400K
So now its working? Awesome! Buying 2 right now.
Mine works as well, I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQ2GUFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
BUT it only works if i have the receiver stuck on the back of the phone in between it and the phone case. If I have it on top of the battery the signal doesn't make it through.. perhaps because of the curved nature of the phone and the NFC receiver on the inside of the back cover.
I was always under the impression that NFC and wireless charging interfered with each other unless it was one integrated unit. That's probably why yours only works that way.
Well I got mine and tried it out, and while it does work, kind of, I'm sending them back. The cable ribbon is so thin it feels like it is going to rip, it would also need you to bend it at a bad angle to get it inside a case or inside the back. I can't get a GOOD charging connection with my TYLT VU chargers, so it is going back.

The cable ribbon is probably thin because you need to bend it at weird/sharp angles and it has to fit in the cracks of the back or case. As long as you're not constantly pulling on it, there's really no risk of tearing. Connections are fine with my $20 chargers, I can drop it on pretty much anywhere in the vicinity of the receiver and it'll charge.
Charge rate depends on which receiver you go with. Most, including the ones posted here, are 500mA which is kind of slow. I should be getting an 800mA one soon so hopefully that'll pick up the pace. IMO, these are still better than switching to PMA.
Its not so much the thin that bothers me, it is how flimsy it is. I mean it could have some reinforcement of some kind you'd think. And it leaves the pad really low on the phone, probably part of the reason it doesn't connect well even with a QI pad a good as the TYLT VU. Just removing the thing to root my device was scary, I thought the USB plug was going to tear off and stay in.
I just bought 2 battery covers with integrated Qi/NFC for $23 each on ebay (my wife got a G3 also) so that should fix the issues for me. Not sure what the VU charges at, but with my Nexus 5 it was always great, for a heavy user like me, I was satisfied (Qi dock in my car too).
What kind of qi car dock do you have? I love the wireless charging and have seen a few posts you put on XDA. I ordered that back plate from eBay, hopefully it works OK and I had ordered the sticker from China but it seems like a pain in the ass ripping off the old one.

Let me find a link for you. Been really happy with it. Glad my posts are helping folks!

Do you have a link to the ones you bought? Also could you post some pictures when you receive and install them?
