I received my TYLT Vu last week but wanted to make sure about the phone, etc. before I opened it. Wow! Nice! It's very sharp looking in person. Now, please help me figure out which to buy - insert or charging back, and which insert is thinest, works well, including NFC, and a link would be golden? I need to not spend extra on multiple receivers.

You have all been really helpful, but nothing definitive has really popped up. It would be great to have links to the receivers that didn't work well also, so others don't repeat mistakes. If I find anything certain I'll post it as well. Thanks!

Or you know you could just take your time and plug it in correctly. I have dozens of USB devices and none of them have ever had broken on me, and USB 3.0 is even sturdier.

I know you guys like wireless chargers because of the geek factor/ease of use. But compared to USB 3.0 2amp charging it's way slower.

The ones referenced here are in stock for the N3 if anyone is interested.

Which case do you have on your phone? I have a Cruzerlite TPU case on my phone and use a TYLT charger and have no issues, but if I was using my Cruzerlite Spi-Case (their heavier duty case) I would have issues with Qi charging. But now just using the TPU, I can place it anywhere on my charger and it works with 0 issues. I switch to the heavy duty case when I know Im going out drinking. Cant risk my poor baby getting hurt.

I have just returned from china, just brought these back, only a few of the qi stuff I own some old and some new.

got this today note 3 receiver

got this today universal receiver

Metrans Mwt 02

official sandisk receiver, picture is 2 receiver for the note 2, but the note 3 should be out by now, and should be the same size.

Got this sanwa from japan last month, has 7 coils for multi positioning.

Metrans w5000 3 in 1 qi charger True 5000mAh (wireless power bank, desktop, and USB )

unknown brand with true 5000mAh power

Yijieneng 6000mAh false figures, true power is about 4500mAh

Panasonic power bank, true 5400mAh.

just got this today, style my not be the best, but hold a true 5000mAh power with good detection, inside are good quality parts.

too much to list, and I actually do own these, some are being used, other are just sitting in my draw collection dust.

photo I took today from the shop.

if anyone are interested in qi chargers and receivers, please let me know what you intend to purchase, there are so many available from china, I can provide you advice on the quality of them all, not all the products are equal in quality, especially those sold on ebay and taobao.

if you want a cheap one to use, there are plenty of them on ebay, and don't expect excellent quality, with my info, you can believe me or not, or just take it as a pinch of salt.

Just some extra info if anyone is interested, it's not related to the note3, but just to let people know that these wireless receiver are available for the iphone 5/s/c, , ipod tough 5, ipad retina/mini with the small connector, can't posted pic here, justy to let you know it's available on the market, you need to search for them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Or you know you could be more considerate. I have never broke a USB port. And when I sell my phone I like knowing I sold them something that will last. And yeah we like the geekiness. Wont hesitate to plug it in if I need a quick charge. I also wouldn't mind being able to just drop my phone on a platter at my desk or bedside as 640mah is plenty. And just a fun fact since you're a tard. Whether it's usb2 or usb3, 2a charges just the same. Lol.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
It's a preference. I want my battery to be charging - sans cord - when I lay it down, so that when I pick it up I don't have to remove or worry about the cord. You know, different strokes.

Geek factor is fine but some of us are also business folks. I get what works for me. Nearly everything I use is wireless, if it can be, and this is simply the next step. It's actually a time saving device. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] galaxy808:
NICE! the first one looks like the Yijieneng one, I remember you from the S4 forums on the same wireless charging thread.

anywho I have a note 3 now, (two of them, black and white)

so what would be the best qi insert without bulge?

The Yijieneng one was was the best in my opinion from your advice for the S4 cause the chips fit nicely into the microsd slot.

Is there an area where it fits nicely on the Note 3? I can't tell from the pictures.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
This one has gotten reasonable response and seems to work for those who ordered it. There are reviews as well for the N3 model. You'll need to review this thread for the rest. I just went through it again myself.

I think I am following in your wake... The LuguLake looks very juicy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
S3, note 2 and s4 thread, I haven't tested the receiver yet, all I can say it should do the job, as yijieneng's products are getting less reliable now, I also have the s4 receiver from yijieneng, wireless works, nfc works, but the battery lid will not close, so I will need to test this note 3 one in the next few days.

it's also advice to get the sandisk receiver, expensive but good, and consider getting a true copper coil receiver, better connection, less heat, than the flexi coil, some recent released ones are quite thin.

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

The one you posted is one of the reliable ones, it's made by powerqi, with the whole sale price, the powerqi one cost almost doubled the one of the yijieneng, although seller on ebay list them very similar priced.

both yijieneng and powerqi are official members of the wpc.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
The ebay link you posted is one of the sellers i brought from, and chances are that the thinner insert that i received that does not cause bulge and NFC works perfectly fine came from him.

This is what i posted earlier on my previous thread here..

The lugulake charger is a good one. I myself am convincing myself to get one.. Just spent 55 bucks again on three more Nokia DT-900 chargers With the lugulake i like the fact it accepts miniusb cable, has a grip on the charging base to hold the phone.. Another user on Youtube does not talk too well about the Anker qi power bank, says the connection plug is weak and comes off.

Although i am not sure if the Lugulake charger can give atleast one full charge to the Note 3. if it does, its worth it.

I am soooo mad. So much great info here tonight and I used up all my thanks earlier today. I'll try to come back and hit everyone tomorrow. :(

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

When the convo turned to power banks I started looking at them and had already dismissed the Anker model. Didn't look good from reviews.

A bit of a ridiculous question, maybe, but couldn't I just use one of the charging pads - not a bank - in my vehicle? I've never dealt with this particular technology, so other than what I've learned here I know nothing. The idea makes sense to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] galaxy808:
Thanks are you in the process of reviewing the sandisk one for the note 3? Looks like they aren't available anywhere else right now besides HK. Not planning a trip there any time soon so wondering if it's good who would be able to source them to me in the USA?

curious to know how the yijieneng one fairs too, looks like they have some other subsidiary named YIPIN? looks identical with a different sticker at least for the S4 it was.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YungMage:
So which one of the inserts is the thinnest with least heat. The SanDisk? Also it states that it is for the S4 was wondering if you had to switch the points for it to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Acaibowl:
Unless you have to use a protective cover, I would definitely go with Samsung cover. It looks nicer and protects the camera lens. I have TYLT Vu too and it's great indeed.

I've got a great big case of "it's getting hard to wait" and I'm not getting any better. I'm trying to wait for Samsung to get them in and it's getting on my nerves. At this point, no matter which I choose - receiver or back - I'm still waiting.

Sucks just a little...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Acaibowl:
It's not as thick as you think. I have it and it's great. You can't even tell the difference when holding the phone. Really.

When we hold our phones we barely touch the back of the phone.

The funny thing is, reading all the comments here makes me think what people really wants.

When I recommend the Samsung wireless back cover people say it's thick. They prefer the charging coil under the original cover so they can use it with a protective case, making the phone even thicker.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
The people complaining about the official cover making the phone thicker are definitely in the minority. The issue of using cases is the real issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
I bought a new Note 3 and I would not consider using it without a case. I'm too hard on phones. Glad you like the Samsung unit. It's very well made and I'm sure it works great, but it's not for me. Adding a case onto the already thicker wireless charging back cover (if you can find one that fits) would make it thicker yet. I bought the Anker charging pad and a set of coils from Amazon and I'm happy with it. Bought a cheap TPU case and I'm good to go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Yeah but slower charging is better for the cells so i go with wireless. My goal is to never use the charging cable haha idk why just seeing how long i can go. Probably will once roms go live for the dev edition but I'd prefer to keep my cells as "healthy" as possible because i need this phone for another year or two.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
The slow charging is canceled out by the heat wireless charging creates. Choose your poison. But then again batteries are easier and cheaper to replace than USB ports.

I still haven't received the Qi receiver that I bought from eBay. Hoping that I will tomorrow though! One of my local Best Buy stores got the official Samsung Qi battery door in today. I went there earlier, but they couldn't find them anywhere even though their system showed them having 2. I left my name/number with an employee. About an hour after getting home, and two hours after they closed, the employee texted me saying that she located the Qi battery doors and was going to hold one for me. I don't plan to buy and keep the official Qi battery door, but I do want to see how well/badly my cases fit with it on my phone. After I cut my grass in the morning, I'm gonna go to my local store and buy the Qi battery door. I mainly just want to see how it works with my cases, and I'll also take pics of it along side my standard battery door to show all of you how much of a difference there really is between the two. If my Qi receiver doesn't arrive in the mail tomorrow, I'll probably just go ahead and keep the official Qi battery door and use it until my receiver does arrive since Best Buy has a 30 day return policy. Just hoping that I do get my Qi receiver in the mail tomorrow, so then I won't have to use the bulky official Qi battery door for wireless charging over the weekend!

Accidentally hit thanks. Oh well.

But break this up into paragraphs or people wont read it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Perhaps you aren't understanding then. People aren't saying the official Qi battery door makes the phone too thick for their likings. They're saying the added thickness makes the phone too thick to fit inside the cases that are currently available for the Note 3. If the available cases still fit on the phone with the official Qi battery door installed, then 99% of us wouldn't have a problem using it....

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I can tell you if the official is the same as the S4, it'll fit the neo hybrid, as a friend had that setup but I wouldn't get it because that really limits the amount of cases and it really bulges.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Roger that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dohturdima:
I am using a Melody TPU case that I got on Amazon. Am pretty sure that the charging issues have little to do with the case, as I put the GS3 in that case just to test out this theory and it changed just fine. It has got to be the Qi insert or (gulp) possibly something wrong with the way my phone charges wirelessly. The latter is less likely.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The note 3 version of the sandisk is not out yet, should be soon, if I can get it cheaper, I will try it out, i'm sure they will be available soon in other countries, just be patient. Most of the yijieneng receiver or as named Yipin, their new logo name, they tend to leave the name out, to skip responsibility, this is the same with powerqi, you probably know there first few batch states there name, anything after the name is not stated.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

the note 3 receiver is black and is made by powerqi, I think they also have the flexi coil version, but not sure, I didn't buy one so I have no picture of it, and I cannot seem to find the note 3 version on the net, but I did see the actual item yesterday and the shop did remove the sticky label to prove it.

about the sandisk, they have three version ATM S3, S4 and note 2, they are not compatible with each other, the actual packaging is made to suport all three, the note 3 will have a different packaging, or they might change the existing packaging to fit the note 3.

The sandisk receiver are all the same size (smallest receiver on the market), just the extending part to connect to the phone are in different location.

hope this helps.

MANswers also mentioned that he thought that the thin one came from either CA or US - not sure which, but it was within the US. If we could get that link then problem solved.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Then it's not the most recent, that came from China.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
My coils came from China. I ordered before the US made ones were on Amazon. There is no noticeable bulge in the back. I have a Cellto flip case that basically is a TPU case attached to a faux leather folding case so my phone has to charge through 2 layers of case. No problems with the Anker Qi charging pad but I have to get the phone in the sweet spot to connect. I think the quality of the pad is also important if you are charging through a case. Anker makes good stuff and I recommend their Qi pad. The Cellto flip cases are decent too and can't beat the price of $5.99 on Amazon. I bought 2
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
can anyone post the so call US made receiver, i'm sure they are all from china.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Just received my Qi receiver, that I ordered from eBay, in the mail today! Not sure if the one I bought is linked in this thread or not, as I ordered it before looking through this thread.

Anyway, it is the thinnest one I saw on eBay, and it's from a US seller (New Jersey). I'm not gonna say there is ZERO bulge, but it's not noticeable to the naked eye or to the touch unless you're just feeling for it. If I was to hand my phone to another GN3 owner they wouldn't notice it. I'm absolutely thrilled with it!!

It charges perfectly on my Nokia DT-900 without me having to move it around to find just tune right spot. Just set it down and it starts charging! I set it down multiple times to try it out, and wireless charging was initiated on the first try each time. NFC works as well, even with my Spigen Bounce, Diztronic TPU, or the official Samsung S-View cover! Same goes for charging with each case on it, no issues at all! Definitely glad I spent $10 on this instead of $40 for the official cover! Here's some pictures of it.

Here's the link. Price is now slightly higher, but worth even more in my opinion!!

Got it. Many, many thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
1-That's the Spigen Bounce case in gray. Awesome case for only $10!

3-Your case will work just fine! There is literally as close to zero bulge as you could get! I got a receiver instead of the official Samsung Qi battery door just so I could use my cases.

3-Absolutely love the GN3!! I pre-ordered my Evo LTE, then bought it in white when it was released, then about 6 months later I bought the Note 2. I still have both colors of the Evo LTE, which I need to put on eBay and sell! The Note 2 was actually my first non HTC Android phone, I'd been using nothing but HTC since back in the WinMo days! I absolutely LOVE the Note line though!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks on all. Agree on N3, and also now strung out on the Note line. Never another HTC for me.

As for my case, I'm concerned about charging through the silicone. That's why I asked about your case. Nice looking, I need ultra grippy (uber clumsy) so I use the silicone. Not nice to look at but works best for me.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Just checked and the Spigen Bounce is TPU so I should be fine for charging, also.

Can you peel off the sticker and take a pic of the coil please?

I wanna see if it's the printed kind.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Another question is did you need to peel the sticker to keep it thin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
The reason i ask is because my gf has a s4 and I got her a receiver and it is super thin and they coil looks like it is printed on and is very flexible. They don't have it for the note 3 yet. Here is a pic.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
That looks like the thin one that MANwers posted the pic of - the flexible one.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
There was a front shot, too, where he cut around the coil imprint, I believe, in an effort to boost the NFC. Could be wrong.

ETA - I was wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
Here is his side shot u can see the thick coil
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Guys the bump is made not of the coil but from the chips in the receiver, the coil is easy to take out the plastic adhesives and make it thinner but nothing you can do for the chips. I have 3 receivers and one is the thinner but all have same size chios.

Either way the link posted previus people the white one is like myne the thinner with no bulge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Thanks, i haven't seen the transmitter, but the case is available in china.

For those of you who are a little more handy.. or are willing to try

I ordered:

Charging pad + mat

and:

Replacement door

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Hou...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item80201f7bb3

Took the replacement back cover (which was ALMOST EXACTLY like OEM, I would say slightly thinner though) and shaved it down slightly with my dremel.

I wouldn't be surprised of other people out there have a slightly thinner coil. The one I have right now is less malleable than one i bought to test on my note 2.

Didn't take the entire bump out, but definitely made it less noticeable.
