[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I'm familiar with the model of buying in bulk and rebranding. I used to work at BestBuy, and all of the GeekSquad cables were made by Belkin.

I was going to say that I'm just not used to seeing this practice too often, but it has now occurred to me that I see it all the time with cheap 3rd party accessories. For the "best of the best" and the "highly recommended" stuff though... it always seems like there's a particular product, rather than a rebranded one. I keep using Amazon as the measuring stick, and for good reason. I didn't trust that I was finding the right product if there were so few reviews of them. But... yeah. I get the rebranding thing.

As far as my receiver... I'm using the fonesalesman one, which I now understand to be a rebrand of a PowerQI product. I mentioned this in my long, incoherent post (#1993) but I don't blame you for missing it. haha As I said earlier, the receiver doesn't seem to be the problem, since it works so well with my Nokia charge plate. That's not to say that it can't be 50% of a compatibility problem with the CHOETECH 3-coil charger I got recently... I just don't suspect that the receiver card is the part that I should send back.

Further... I have used a few different chargers with the CHOETECH plate, including a samsung OEM charger, with similar results. I will admit that the 2A charger I used was from monoprice (though I never had any issues with it charging my phone directly), and the OEM samsung charger came with my spare battery kit (it only has 0.7A output). I can get the 2A power block that came with my Note 3 and try it out... but it didn't seem to me that the power block was the problem. The charging was consistent. It was when it reached near-full status that the light on the charging plate would turn off, which would trigger my phone to wake up... only to go back into wireless charging mode. When I have my phone plugged right into the monoprice 2A power block... my phone doesn't disconnect from charging when it's 98% full, only to reconnect again. I could be wrong in my assumption, though.

I found that the OEM Samsung wireless charging back was *ever slightly* too thick to use with the Seidio DILEX (formerly known as "Active" case). The DILEX has the thin silicon/rubber jacket that protects the buttons, and a plastic exoskeleton that wraps around it to protect the corners and add a kickstand. the fit is REALLY tight, and therefore REALLY clean.

Unfortunately, with the OEM charging cover installed, the silicon seemed like it would form around it easily enough alone (albeit a little stretched), but trying to put on the plastic part was a real PITA. Further, when I thought I had it on sufficiently, the phone just looked sloppy and stuffed into the case. It was like the phone equivalent of a muffin top. Then, to top it all off... eventually one corner would pop off and take the silicon with it, leaving a corner exposed and the phone looking even worse.

What I should have done in the first place: I spent 1 day with the OEM charging back before I ordered the fonesalesman qi receiver from Amazon. (Which I've come to realize is rebranded from a high-profile wholesaler/distributor) This thing is super slim, but it doesn't ATTACH to anything like the OEM back does, and kind of floats instead of clicking or staying in place. So... it was a whole different kind of PITA when getting it lined up and finessing the back on while keeping the pins aligned. This issue would recur every time I'd have to swap the battery, too (at times when I was away from an outlet all day). Simple solution for that... I put a loop of tape on the back of the receiver card, and lined it up perfectly. (There is somewhat of a guide molded into the stock back, which helped) I then carefully put on the stock battery cover, taping the card to the back with the loops. I tested the wireless charging with it roughed into place... and then put a big piece of clear shipping tape over the card (not the pins) to hold it in place. Voila! just as good as (well, better than...) the OEM back.
