Cases vs. QI Charging - G2 Accessories

Ok, so I have my brand new G2. Looking at cases, but have to be cautious because I plan to pick up a QI charging pad very soon. How thick is too thick? This is a VZW phone by the way.
I'm looking at the two piece snap together cases on ebay like this: LINK
Reason being is I plan to cover the case in white 3M Di-Noc (carbon fiber pattern).
Thoughts? Recommendations on a thin hard case that covers all four corners and edges that won't block the inductive charging?

Wife and I both have the Verizon G2 and we both have cases. I have the Incipio Feather and she has the Diztronic tpu case. Both phones charge just fine on two different qi chargers(Nokia dt-910 and LG wcp-300).

I am very impressed with the fit and quality of the Puregear Case. Also if you enter Pure50 in the coupon code spot its 50% off bringing it to like $12.50 shipped. I wrapped the clear portion of mine with carbon vinyl as well.

Also for wireless charging I am very impressed with the Tylt Vu. Have them around my house for my G2, my Nexus 7 and my Droid Maxx. It works flawlessly on each of them and places them at an angle so you can see them. Hope that helps a little.

You don't have to worry about that case you linked as it seems it's pretty thin; judging from the back shot, it looks to be as thick as my Diztronic case and that charges fine with Qi chargers. With that said, the Diztronic is only like 10 bucks and it's a well-made case. Though, that ebay one is cheaper and it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I tend to change cases/screen protectors a lot until I find one that I like, and the money spent really isn't an issue for me as long as it makes me happy.
I heard somewhere that you have a few CM's on clearance for the Qi charging to work, and I doubt that a case would be that thick unless you got some Otterbox or something.

I have the Incipio DualPro and wireless charging works fine on the Nokia DT-900 (picked up a few when they were on sale at AT&T).

My G2 will.charge through a magazine. As long as it's not metal you should be fine.

I used the ballistic for a while (its really thick) and wireless charging worked fine.

ok, through a magazine is pretty impressive. Settled my fears, lol. Thanks folks!

Does the first nexus wireless charger not work with the Tmobile Lg G2? Anyone know? Thanks

Verizon g2 is the only one with wireless charging...

Recomend a hard case for exteneded battery?

I am looking for a hard case for the Bionic with a Verizon extended battery. It must also be compatible with the Car, and Home dock. Motorola list one, but I have not been able to find one.
Thanks
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main..._id=17&zenid=cc1e8d0feb2dc1342f0f46a2f33923e1
That's the only case I know about that's fits the extended battery...besides that the only other options you have are holsters which aren't really the same
I can't confirm that it fits the docks tho

18 months late, but the Diztronic case is still for sale on Amazon.com, and it's a beauty. I got it, and it fits MUCH better than that crap case with kickstand that Verizon sells for $40. In fact, this case fits so good, it fits into the nav dock (with the extended battery insert instead of the regular insert) and even the holster that came with that crap case Verizon sells.
Definitely worth $10

Verizon Holster Shell Combo - Just received

I just received my Verizon holster/shell combo, here are a few first impressions.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...d=15307&accessoryId=66806&initialPhoneId=7091
(no pics yet, as I don't have another camera at the moment...later)
PROS
- Fits well, snug. Cut outs are good.
- Tough, case and holster are not going to break easy
- kickstand, you can prop up side ways or upright
- works fine with wireless charging
- I like having a holster for when Im out and at the gym. Makes it convenient to have 1 case that serves dual purpose
- Not falling out of the holster, TIGHT fit
CONS
- Heavy, adds a bit of weight to the device - not a deal breaker though
- Protects back and sides, bottom and top are left "open"
- bit slippery
- little hard to get out of the holster, snug. A little much I think
The case is $29.99 from VZW. I would recommend it to anyone wanting this style of case. Not for everyone as it adds some bulk overall.
I just got mine today and am very happy with it. I now have all the cases offered by verizon. I do like the incipio feather the best but would like it in black instead of grey. I use the holster with the incipio as well as the window case.

I ordered mine through the mobile store to get my discount. Probably will get tracking number Monday.
Three local corp. stores only had silicone case. I'm going to order the Incipio.

Diztronic TPU case

Anyone try this case yet? I've used them on my last 2-3 devices and I like how simple and thin they are but they do the job when I drop my phone

I'm guessing you didn't look through the other threads:

Your guess is right on as I searched for TPU being my preferred type of case.
Does this brand fit with the G2's international version?
just ordered one of these today from amazon.

I have one of these on my Verizon LG G2. The case adds just enough texture to take the slipperyness of the G2 away without being big bulky and obtrusive. You also cannot beat the price.

Same here, hoping to like it better than the Spigen Slim Armor. Less protection I assume but we'll see. May also try out the Ballistic

Just got one today also.... Replaced my Spigen slim armor. The case fits well but it's slightly loose on the bottom part. I've written to Diztronic to see if I got one that was defective. Keeping it on our mow... The Slim Armor was too bulky and heavy for me

I am on my second phone (diff phones) and have stuck with these cases (2nd case). Just had the scariest drop over the weekend was drunk and bored flipping my phone in the air, bounced off my motorcycles gas tank and onto the concrete in the garage...
pulled off the case, not a dent/scratch on her..
mine also has a slight bend at the bottom.. but no biggy.
This is currently the case I'm using now. I started with Diztronic tpu cases on my galaxy nexus and it always did well. Was never afraid to drop my phone. Decided to go with it again on my g2 . You can't go wrong with this slim case, especially for the price.

I have.
I suppose it depends on the case though.
Yes. Works fine with the diztronic tpu, and ringke slim. Sometimes depends on how good the charger is though...
Yeah, mine works fine with a Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Tylt Vu charger.
Depends on the case and charger design, as in how thick the coating plastic is on the charging pad, and how thick the case is.
I have this VENA Ultra Slim Fit case (much like the Griffin case I had on my Moto X 2013) and have had no problem charging with the Anker slim Qi charger. I love both of them, they're great. I'm actually thinking about making my own nano suction car dock with it.
THanks for the replies guys. Has anyone tried with a Ringke slim?

Works perfectly with my Spigen Ultra Slim Fit.

Yes I did, because I answered that exact question above...
Which qi pad are y'all using?
No problems here with Spigen Slim Armor and Itian A6 (at work) and "TechMatte Qi-Enabled Charging Pad" (at home), both of them works great!

Tylt Vu now but also have a Nokia DT-901
Had the nexus charger that works great with the n5 but it's crap with the nexus 6. Now have the tylt vu which works great with the casemate case on the play store
I have a moco case, thick rugged case 2 piece with a kickstand. and a nokia DT-900 charger. Works great. Charger was bought for my n4 long time ago and didn't work with it. Tossed it in a drawer as I haven't had an induction phone since then. Must have been the n4 because I was pleasently surprised to see how well it works with the N6. Has to b on it pretty much just right, but i hit it easily. Kind of a pain when it hits 100% for a bit. Turns off charging, drops to 99% as soon as it shuts off and toggles on and off a bit till it gets a good enough charge to hang at a full charge. Notification alerts each time it stops and starts charging.

Cases That Work With QI Wireless

as the thread basically says it all, I'm looking for a case that will work with QI wireless charging for the G4. i like the spigen stuff but it doesn't appear to work...
I have been using the newisdom upgraded chip and tylt vu charger combo and havent had any problems charging with the spigen neo-hybrid, verus thor and urban armor gear cases.
The Spigen Air Cushion Slim Armor case works with the NeWisdom upgraded Qi chip without any issues with my CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger.
The Diztronic matte TPU case works too

I've got the Spigen Slim Armor case, with a generic wireless sticker and have no issues with wireless charging with either my Itian 3 coil charger or generic puck.
Youd have better answers to the question, "which dont don't work with qi".
Because most will

Interesting. I have the Diztronic case you're talking about and the same charger, but a Yootech receiver. It works fine without the case but won't charge with the case. I've also tried the first version of the Samsung charging pad and it's the same result so I guess I can call it the receiver.

I have no problems using the CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger with the Diztronic case either. I purchased my QI wireless sticker from ebay. Shipped from china or something, not sure on brand.
Any leather back-cover (like the original one) that works with QI charging WITHOUT needing to make the "sticker modification" to the shell?
If not, what is in Your opinion the best wireless QI charging sticker for LG G4?
Thx!

this combo did NOT work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NWMI07S with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V51QOXA. its VERY finiky
I have the Spigen LG G4 Neo Hybrid Case - works perfectly with a wireless charging back ... charges quick and doesn't heat up.

As far as I know there is no official leather cover with qi. Nevertheless you can buy some from china with attached sticker.
I've attached a sticker on my own leather cover and it worked approx. 2 days perfect. But since then no connection and I wasn't able to fix.
Qi charging lg g4
I just cut the front door off a quick circle case and put g4 in a bumper case. Works fine. Better than messing with qi stickers
i got one of these..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151745479...49&var=450942342923&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT works perfect surprisingly and only £7
