I ordered mine from expansys about 8 days ago. It does have the correct sticker for the NA variants and wireless charging works fine. I just expected it to snap in especially with the battery door removed. I was worried the battery might jar loose. I've been carrying it for a few days and no problems yet however.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Well now, upon further review there are tabs at the top and bottom if you wedge the top in first you can here the bottom snap in. No snap on the sides but it feels a bit better now.
[G3 Accessories] jerflash:
Looks great man! To bad I have a black phone... The cases seem Hardee to get! I want my case... Sick of the temp case I have on the phone right now!
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
Thanks man. Glad to hear that it does snap onto place. To some extent at least. Now I'm going to be even more impatient while waiting. Order August 1st I think. Some time last week for sure tho lol.

So if i order this

http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-slim-guard-case-for-lg-g3-black-262011/

it will work with the T-Mobile D-851? With Wireless Charging? What about NFC?

So in the end I bought the slim guard back

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161356014818&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160

And the NA Qi charging sticker

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fact...G-G3-CASE-D885-D830-D851-D850/1971193812.html

Noting in the order that I needed style 1 for the split pin version.

Works great, although the placing is somewhat sensitive on the Qi charger, and I've noticed that it seems to also help if the charger connected to the qi charger is more powerful. For example, if I try to Qi charge through USB, it has a very hard time staying connected to the charger, but if I plug it into the wall it works far better.

Pealing the original sticker out and replacing it was very simple, especially if you peal off the thin top sticker first rather than just going for the coils and trying to yank them off.

This may all be irrelevant, but I havent kept up with the thread to determine if we've found a better source for a charging back.

Overall this cost me about $40 since I had an ebay coupon.

Have to say, its pretty good quality and the color is nice, hardly adds any extra bulk to the phone. I like that it picks the camera up off the table a small amount so that there is less of a chance of scratching it.

Received my case from fonejoy today, its pretty nice, not that loose. It barely adds weight and unless i compare it to the regular back cover, I don't "feel" as if it is there. The main issue I have with it is it is really slippery. I was hoping the back ridges would add grip, but its still slick. Maybe I will add a back skin like I did for the original back cover.

Some pics:

Pics are up, let me know if you want to see anything else.

Can you verify these are the right connectors for charging? I don't have a qi charger, so I can't test. What are the other two pins for?
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
Four pins means it's qi compatible as long as they line up with the pins on the actual phone.
[G3 Accessories] dneilan1:
Yes, that is right...2 groups of 2 pins. 1 set is for Qi charging and 1 for NFC. Thanks for the info, will order one for myself now that proper Qi contacts have been confirmed.
[G3 Accessories] Adso3000:
Grip or lack thereof

Slippery is a no go for me, so I get that it's back is slippery, also looks just about the same as the original, but by "back ridges" do you mean that even the edges are slippery? The back I might be able to live with, but not if even the edges are slippery.

Thanks for the brilliant photos btw. :)
[G3 Accessories] rango mango:
You're welcome!

The back isn't perfectly smooth, it has a ridged textures, thus the "back ridges". To be honest, the whole thing is slick, the sides aren't rubber like, they are more like hard plastic so they too are slick. Not as slippery as the original back cover, but also not that much better.

I'd love to hear opinions from other who own the case.

Hope this helps.
[G3 Accessories] Cruzfire:
I just got this case today and it has good grip for me, especially the edges. Aesthetic is beyond good, only con is the sides feels a little loosy goosy.
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
I had a customer buy the LG G3 Qi sticker chips from me. He had the Korean Slim Guard case. I ripped off the NFC and installed the Qi chip and it worked perfectly fine. The case is so nice. Too bad I already have a Seidio.
[G3 Accessories] jah:
Same here. Purchased from eBay UK for £22. Much better than the standard back cover and looks very good. Sufficient grip for me and reasonable protection. Probably the best cover type case.
[G3 Accessories] rango mango:
Hmm, may just be my ultra smooth hands :p

I weighed the case today. It weighs exactly 1oz.

On the phone, total weight is 6.0oz.
[G3 Accessories] jerflash:
i too just sent the email to expansys usa to cancel my order. i just picked the black one up from ebay for $42 shipped. better then the $52 i was paying to expansys usa.
[G3 Accessories] jah:
I cleaned my case with screen cleaner as I assumed there would be some manufacturing residual chemicals. Better grip once you give the cover a clean. Grip not as good as Note 3 nor Samsung S5.
[G3 Accessories] rango mango:
Hmm, gotcha.

I ended up selling my phone, too many minor things which should of been handled before launch...IMHO.

So if you see a like new case listed on ebay, its probably mine :)
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I'll take it, bow much?
[G3 Accessories] BrutUK:
Did yours come with aerial cutout at the top ? Since most of the ones I've seen on ebay so far have, just that I'm after the case without the cut out. Cheers
[G3 Accessories] Cruzfire:
I bought mine in Spain and it came for the international version,no cut

My one from Fonejoy is the correct design for the D855 and the inductive charging pins so no cut out for the Korean F400 arieal

Just got the slim guard white for my black d855..

and yes I strongly agree it is also for me the best in-hand feel case and case for the g3, the bulk added is at the very minimum and i can`t even notice it. The bumper is very thin and doesn`t take away the feel of the phone on the sides.. im gonna sell my 2 spigens lol.

I feel sad for pulling the trigger early on my 2 spigens xD

Does anyone also use white slim guard for their black g3?

What do you think guys?

[G3 Accessories] soullinker20:
nice review ?. we have different preference, as i find it more comfortable to hold it with the slim guard than the original that it slips away from me. i have big hands so grip was no prob.. but im still wanting to have a black slim guard case ?
[G3 Accessories] judith prietht:
re: your review

I at first thought the grey bumper surrounding the case was made from solid plastic, similar to the rear of the case, but it's definitely not. It's just *very* hard rubber, but there is some give to it as opposed to the solid ribbed plastic of the rear. That's true for mine, at any rate.
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
Just got mine. Combined with a leather skin compliments of [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] this is definitely the best solution for me. Extremely slim and definitely way more grip than the OG back panel.

This is the only pic I have right now. I'll try to get more later.

[G3 Accessories] j76ms:
So you stuck a leather skin on the back of the Slim Guard? Does the leather add the grip you need? And...is it difficult since there are ridges on the slim guard?

Thanks!

Just got mine from the eBay link posted above. So far so good, kinda makes the g3 feel like my g2 in the hand, not really a bad thing but I kinda miss the angled edge.

It does "creek" a little but nothing crazy and already seems to be getting better. I wonder if a skin on the phone or even some tape on the edges would help.
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
Cut down some scotch tape and place it around the edges inside the case anywhere it creaks.

I ended up placing it all the way around. Absolutely no creaking anymore.

This did it for me
[G3 Accessories] whoamigriffiths:
I had to do this too. Great tip btw.

After seeing the case in the flesh and noticing the "looser" fit compared to the original, I am wondering if it is an intentional part of the design. My thoughts are as follows-

The case is of a much lighter build than other cases that claim to take the knocks and I think a rigid light case that doesn't touch the whole of the phones chassis (as a typical case does) would stop impact force from transferring straight through the whole phone. Instead the impact is transferred to the hardish rubber surround, which itself tapers to a narrow edge.

Now this is just a theory and it's probably complete bunkum, and the cases have been manufactured a bit oversized.

Either way I quite like it :)
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
So this will work with my verizon lg g3 and also enable qi charging, all with no Korean antenna holes?

Still no release date for us? Why are there always these final touches for phones that never seem to happen lol
[G3 Accessories] randyspants:
It should. I think att is the only us model that won't work with qi. And yes fonejoy on eBay is where I got mine and it has no cutout for the Korean antenna.
[G3 Accessories] jerflash:
I just got my case yesterday. Black slim guard from fonejoy and it great! At first like most people I was thinking it was to slick bit after using it that has seemed to go away and now it's just awesome! No creaking here just a great case!
[G3 Accessories] Adso3000:
There are four pins because 2 are for NFC and 2 are for Qi charging.
[G3 Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
Just got this case thru Ebay/fonejoy. So far i like it. the back has a nice texture to it, which is less slippery than the stock back. Theres a slight lip for the front screen, but not enough for me to be comfortable to lay it down on the screen. The fit is pretty snug, but there was a slight creaking in 1 of the corners, like someone else mentioned a little tape fixed it. QI and NFC work with the US version (except the AT&T model). QI charging with the Tylt Vu and Nexus Orb work well, but the newer Nexus charger doesnt seem to work and the LG wcp-300 shows up as a weak charge.

Hi guys, I own a LG G3 D855.

I just purchased Nova Launcher app. and was wondering why I can't see like 'calendar, favourite contacts, E-mail, FM Radio, LG Music, Smart notice and Weather' widgets.

Got a third Kindle from Amazon (warranty replacement), and, surprise, it's running 11.3.0.

Keeping getting errors on local.prop (in Qemu) and 'permission denied' errors with Bin4ry. Any suggestions? I've got wifi off so it doesn't auto update, but I have ES file explorer and I manually install Root check and superuser, none of these apps will allow me root access, so despite many people saying 'ignore the errors', I'm still stuck.

Here is the case I am reviewing:

http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Naked-Tough-Cases.asp

Generally I have had good experiences with case-mate. However, this case features metal (plastic?) buttons on the sides to press the power and volume buttons on the Gs5. While the buttons work fine, and the case does protect the phone, my case fell apart. Specifically, the button that presses on the volume button fell out. It stayed in if I put it back and then left the case on the phone; however, if you take your case off with any frequency, the button apparently will fall out every time once this becomes loose.

So, I would not buy this case again.

Hi guys, I'm getting this phone from someone and I want to know that if the phone came with 4.1 without KNOX bootloader what can I do for precautions to not flashing KNOX bootloader?

or, if the phone is came with 4.4 with KNOX bootloader how can I remove it? thanks. :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
The question should be if you still need to bother about KNOX? THe warranty is probably over and if you have lower bootloader, then flash MJ5 and ROM without KNOX and prerooted like OMEGA, which I recommend. If you have newer bootloader then just flash whatever you want and forget about KNOX
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngSanley:
so there's no way to remove the knox bootloader right? So if I got the old bootloader, should I flash MJ5Patch?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
If you get bootloader older than MJ5, flash MJ5 bootloader, it is the last one that works with 4.3/4.4.2 that is without KNOX. If you get it with MJ5, no need to do anything. If it's newer - you'll just have to live with the fact that Knox flag will be set to 1.... (if you want to flash custom ROMs)

I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.

What am I missing?
[Samsung Gear Live] Mr Ian B:
You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Ian B
[Samsung Gear Live] Tones2:
Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.

You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.
[Samsung Gear Live] Herb.Grinda:
There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.

Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.
