My g4 is coming tomorrow and I want the official case with wireless charging. AT&T only had a purple one when I checked out and seems that's all the other carriers are carrying too. Can't find them anywhere except for a site called mobile fun and they are for the international version. Are they not out yet?
I've seen quite a few going on amazon for around half the prices I paid for similar cases I got for my note 4.
Here we go:

Well i posted this before I got the bad news. At&t version only supports pma because at&t. And now that I have the phone I also have found that the quick circle apps are just the stock lg apps, and since I use most of their respective google alternatives, I've pretty much lost all interest in this case

I've bought this one: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/S1-Nillkin-Q...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3f4d90c2b8
Wich does exactly the same as the original QCase.
Just picked mine up at Best Buy for $49.95 which is $10 cheaper than through the T-Mobile store. Both have them in stock.
A note of caution about seemingly "Genuine OEM" products such as these sourced from overseas...I spend a lot of time in places like Hong Kong and Shanghai where these sort of things are readily available. Having bought things like these in places like those I can say that though they may look the business more often than not they are just very well-crafted knockoffs. Which means that they will not necessarily give you the expected quality of fit and longevity you may desire. Of course your experience may be different. And once you get done shipping it the price difference evaporates as well. Just my $0.02...
Yeah I saw those auction's before and that's why I didn't buy from them

Not specifically; I'm unfamiliar with that particular brand. I was speaking generally. Your experience with their products is certainly more relevant.
Yeah I'd be leary to trust an eBay seller claiming they have authentic imports from china. China is also known for poor quality knock offs that take 6 weeks to get to your door. I didn't even think about ordering from there when I saw that and glad I didn't since my version of the g4 is only compatible with power mat anyway

Yes, i can say Nillkin product are excelent quality stuff. Many people of my country buy them specially the tempered glasses and never saw someone disappointed.
Just ordered this for $10 shipped by Prime. I don't care its OEM or not. I just wanna try it on the Qi Charging with my LG WCD 100 or Samsung S4 Qi Charging pad. Xd

I purchased this case as well about 2 weeks ago
I can't say anything about whether or not you can charge via some kind of wireless thing but I love this case and I have gotten many compliments on it.
the AT&T H810 supports Qi just fine, I got this same Circle Case which has both Qi Wireless and NFC built-in to the case with the sticker and it works out of the box with 3 different types of Qi Chargers, some from eBay, Amazon and the Tylt.
I haven't tested any Powermat cases or chargers yet. Hope that helps.
I've been using the yootech one from amazon http://smile.amazon.com/Yootech®-Wireless-Standard-Charging-receiver/dp/B00YL0EKWE/ and its great. I do somewhat miss the leather back it replaced but I really love the quick circle functionality.
Keep us (or just me) posted on how it feels nd what you think of it, nice case btw

had to buy it straight from them as there arent any local distributors here in singapore...
not sure about the states though?
How do you even find that case on that site? I found the anymode vip case in bright colors but not that black one.
Is this the same case that somep people have been reporting to be getting for free when purchasing their Tabs in places outside of the US?

haha yrah man. Im trying to track one of these down myself. Id rather have the protection of the hard case versus the soft/leather case. This is exactly what Im after. In due time there will be a knock off
Apparently so. You need to translate the item description pages. There is a dropdown menu in each description that allows you to choose a color.
But 70 bucks is kind of steep.. Whats the price on the samsung book one? That is OEM right?
I don't think that site will even ship to the States, can anyone confirm this?
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...odsSearch&keyword=samsung+galaxy+tab+vip+case
although it is supposed to be in English, some of it appears in Korean.
most of the dealers ship international, and it is stated there.
not sure if they ship to the States though...
and in terms of colour, yeah, have to use Google Translate to translate the different colours and then select what you want...
not sure about the customer support etc, didnt have to use them as it was pretty prompt in shipping over to Singapore...
good luck!

The original book case is going for about US$50 on amazon...
Didnt settle for that cause I heard it is kind of heavy?
like being able to tilt the SGT in several angles so settled for the VIP case...
Isn't Anymode the company who made the smart cover that looked exactly like Apples?
I really wish Samsung would just grow a set and support the selling of that cover.
Edit:
It appears that it can be shipped to the States, I created an account and went thru the motion of adding the case and then about to pay. Total cost looks to be around $80, seems kinda high for buying something from Korea that may or may not be the exact case I want. Wanted to use my Amex card but they don't list Amex, they do take PayPal though.
So real question is do I wait for one to be available locally or just go ahead and buy this one for much more money.
I'm going to wait for eBay or Amazon to get it. I'm sure it'll be a lot cheaper once it reaches the States. That price is normal for Asia.
legit case
@chesterchen: Any way you could take a picture of the tablet fully opened with the case folded fully? I want to see how slim it looks that way and if the backs are flat against each other when opened that way.
Looks like Amazon has it but really steep $89.99 (Black) with pictures
can't post a link it but if you search amazon for " anymode" you will see the cover listed as " Samsung Galaxy TAb 10.1 Official Case - BLACK"
Looks the same to me but i might be wrong.
Seems to be sold by Samsung too. Which is weird... Perhaps that's the price to expect here in the US?! Too rich for my blood. =/

That looks exactly like the case from gmarket, I assume it is this expensive because it has not reached full retail channels yet. It will most likely drop in price (hopefully) to around $59ish give or take is my guess. I would much rather purchase from Amazon than from gmarket though, and only about a $9 difference from what I can tell.
$9 is definetely worth the price for the return policy and customer service that Amazon provides. However, that price is just too much for a case. If it does go down to about $60 shipped, I'd jump in on it.

Be careful buying the Leather cases from ONLINE. i live here in HK and Shenzhen, and i know they make the copy version looking the exact same but its not the same quality leather plus the inside part that touches the screen of the galaxy note is different. personally i used the original leather white case for about one month then i switched because even the originals will wear down and start to peel away depending how ruff you are with your cases.
Personally now i carry the ZENUS Case and i love it alot more.

Thanks fir the heads up, i liked the Samsung version because its less bulky. But your case looks very nice. Thanks again
I have one I am not using but when I sell the phone I am sure the new owner will want it. I bought a used White Note and decided i did not like white as the phone was to conspicuous already, . Regualar cases are too bulky so I began looking for the blue Samsung flip cases to cover the white up. but decided after actually using the white one for a few days, it was a PIA to take a call on and decided not to deal with any case and just skin the phone with Decalrus.com
I too have been looking for the international flip OEM case in white...no luck. I've seen a few on Ebay and when I asked the Sellers they said it would fit. Upon researching I found they would not fit. I saw a review on Amazon where someone said they bought one on expansy, but they are sold out of white, they do have the dark navy though for $24.99. Please, if anybody has for sale or knows where one can be bought, do tell Thank you.
Hi everyone thanks for the tips on finding a case. I found one on ebay that the seller states is OEM and its for the international SGN and shows pictures of the battery clips for reference and says its NOT for the At&t version. The price wasn't bad either $13.99 with free shipping. Seller does not have perfect feedback but for $13.99 i took a gamble. Ill post back after i receive it and comment on fit and finish. Thank you again for the help and responses.
Here's the ebay link.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-White-F...612160?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c51b19c0
I contacted this seller and asked if it was the Samsung case, because my experience on eBay has been with sellers in Hong Kong or China that they make their own and put Samsung's branding on. They replied this morning and it is in fact not an original Samsung. Ugh....maybe you don't mind that, but I do....I want real oem dang it!
Well that sucks! Lol i just went with what they're listing said... Oh well for $14 i can't complain too much. Thanks for the heads up though
You never know, it could look and function just as well as Samsung's........but whenever you see a seller claiming an "oem" item and you see they are from Hong Kong/China/etc...ask them if it's real oem and not made by their factory. The seller did reply that the case was made with the "finest craftsmanship". But please, if you think of it, let us know how it is when you get it.

Next time just shoot me a message and i can tell you right away if it is real leather or fake or real oem. The 9only reason why i can tell is because i moved to shenzhen 3 years ago and I'm like 10 mins from Hong Kong.
The fake original cases you see on ebay are made of **** quality leather and the glue they use is not great at all. plus the soft valvet side that actually touches your phone is extremely different, and the cut out hole area for the ear peice is to wide, and the Samsung logo on the back is made from a very cheap shiny plastic. If you live here you can buy them for around 4-5$ USD.

Oh....they do have the navy though for $24.99
Good find! Thanks. I'm in for one
I can't see a big difference between some of these $20 cases and some of the $2 cases. Maybe I'm missing it...
In particular, There's a big price disparity between this $17.95 BoxWave TPU case: http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-UniColor/dp/B001DNUAG2/
and this $2.99 case:
http://www.amazon.com/igadgitz-Smartphone-Protector-Compatible-carriers/dp/B0089CH50O/
From a quick inspection, they look like they cover the same basic areas of the S3. Is there a good reason for such a large difference? Am I missing something obvious? (It's very possible; my Vibrant sports a cheap ebay case, so I may just never have had the pleasure of a really perfect case.)
Hmmm. Both are different cases so I cant tell you. But if you put the same case with different price tag then I would say theyre both the same but the one from the known company is overpriced.

They are similar but not the same. That "S Line" TPU can be found on ebay for $1 shipped.
Having owned both cheap ebay cases & name brand cases, I can probably help with this a little bit.
Naturally every case will be different.
But the cheap cases I've bought from eBaY have all lacked in fit & finish when compared with the name brand cases I've purchased.
Fit too tightly or not tight enough... and don't feel as good in the hand, or wear out/scuff up too easily.
Your mileage and experience will vary. I'm just voicing MY opinion based on my own experience so far.
I will never buy another non-OEM battery or case or screen protector from eBay (sold out of China) unless it's a WELL known brand with GOOD reviews.
In fact, I will be excluding non-USA sellers from all my future eBay searches.
My 99 cent tpu case works just fine.
I should resell them for $11 on eBay and make some money.

You'll miss all the great cases sourced from Korea and many of the original brand named cases direct from China, instead of paying the bloated price from a USA only seller, that sourced it from China anyways.. Cut the middle man. YMMV, That's just my opinion.

I was excited about seeing this. Evidently made by Generic (or maybe just sold by them). Not seeing many good reviews of the company.
I bought it. Oddly the offer links you to this case: www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-power-bank-external-battery-case-2200-mah.html
This clearly isn't the 3200 from the offer. Of course I'm going to make sure I get the one that retails for $79.99. For 32 bucks, don't think it's that big a gamble unless it doesn't function at all. But if anyone has any experience with these cases, please do share!
EDIT: Placed order on black one of these http://www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-extended-battery-case-3200-mah.html

Oh, ok got it. Never used google offers checkout before. I'm concerned about how bulky this will make it. Anyone have any ideas of how bulky it gets?
I took a close look at the pictures and if you see the holes for the camera/speaker you will see how deep it goes before meeting with the device. Seems too thick for me.

Agreed, I'd never consider using something like this on a daily basis. Only for long travel days or weekend trips, anything where you won't be around a socket for awhile. Obviously there is a compromise between size and battery capacity. I think this would be easier than carrying around a spare battery and having to swap it out. However I've never used anything like this before.

I took delivery and immediately sent it back. They were selling it for 29.99 and raised the price to 79.99 just to make the deal more appealing. That's all you should need to know about how they do business. Luckily Google refunded my purchase without hesitation.
Now, the actual case is incredibly cheap feeling and looking. The stand is dinky and the best part is the back says "Sanmsung Galaxy S III". Yep, incorrectly spelled. There are plenty of these on ebay where you can clearly see the spelling mistake if you want to look for yourself. I found a YouTube review that elaborated on how much of a waste of money it was too. You get the point. Don't buy this product; do yourself that favor at least.
After ordering I did some reading about these types of cases in general. It seems that they waste a ton of the battery capacity in transfer via heat or otherwise. You're much better off getting a bigger battery which results in similar thickness anyway. I went with a 4200 mah qcell (about 20 bucks) and have been getting great results. The hyperion battery is good as well. Both have many endorsements all over this forum.
Personally, I wouldn't buy anything through this retailer ever again. I don't trust their pricing or their products.
EDIT: this is in regards to All 4 Cellular, not trait-tech
I bought 3200mAh Rechargeable External Battery Backup Power Case with PU Leather Cover for Samsung Galaxy S III, only $ 23.90,I think it is a good Galaxy S III External Battery Case.
hi just received my long awaited qi wireless pad from china only to find it does not include the receiver part that fits over battery,bahh!!!
does anyone know where i can purchase one from in the UK ,Dont want to wait all that time again ,your help would be greatly appreciated .
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.

sorry, can't help you with a UK vendor. But this vendor shipped to me within hours (good communications, emails, etc.). Ordered 2 days ago so don't know how long it will take. But for now at $14.80/gbp9.80 you can't go wrong. Good luck.

Great find guys, way cheaper than ebay and looks more legit. Gunna have to pick some up myself.
Sent from my Samsung FreeGS3
cant believe how cheap the items are!!
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?
