LG G3 Accessories Thread

[drexappeal]

it's been confirmed by someone who won T-Mo G3 that US and European versions have the same layout.

That's good. If that's the case, then I wouldn't be surprised to see the Euro covers being on sale on ebay, shortly after they are released.

For people in the UK, that were considering the circle cover anyway, it might be a good idea to sell your OEM cover on ebay for a premium price. There are probably a lot of people in the US that would over pay to have an OEM wireless charging cover that's not a quick circle cover.

I am sure you are correct.

Lot of people don't like the folio cases for the reasons unknown to me.

But I am getting QC case, this time from T-Mo, hopefully there will be some sort of coupon w/purchase of the new phone

I'm typically not a big fan of them simply because I like very minimal cases and the flip cover type cases don't work for me, when I'm in the car (in L.A., I spend a lot of time driving).

Overall, I love the concept behind them, but just becomes too inconvenient for me to have to swap out every day, before getting into the car (since I use Waze all the time, to see what kind of traffic I'm looking at).

OK, now I know of at least one good reason.

I am familiar w/LA traffic, it is quite bad.

For me one of the selling points is gold color, "exclusive" to Sprint.

I wanted a gold G3. At least I'll be able to put a gold case on it.

For those that were hoping for "metal," here's a possible alternative:

I got one of these for the Note 3. I loved it, but unfortunately it messed with my GPS radio. I use Waze every day, so it didn't work for my needs, but there are some that don't use any form of Nav regularly, so it might be a good alternative. The quality was pretty awesome, I must say.

First of many. Remember the Korean model has contacts in a different layout than the UK( Europe) and maybe the US.

Well, Microsoft has teamed up with a designer to resolve phone pocketability as well as charging issues on the go!...LOL

Wireless charging in your pants? Yes, coming soon

While I understand what they're trying to do, I would much prefer some sort of qi charging sleeve that is pocketable rather than integrated into the pants pockets.

I'm still leaning towards the 360 for myself, but I think my Mom will be very pleased with her mothers day gift, if she can switch out the band to another color to work with the Gold face and gold phone

This was just delivered a few minutes ago:

https://www.t-mobile.com/accessories/smartphone-universal-leather-case-black.html#features

Since there was no description/dimensions & some larger phones were listed being compatible,I figured no problem w/the G3.

However,this is yet another example of laziness + cut & paste,as every model phone that T-Mobile sells is listed for compatibility.

My M8 doesn't even fit (too tall),& barely slides in without a case.
The G3 won't even come close (same height as M8 +.15" wider),tested this w/a TPU case that I have.

It's a shame,as it's a very nice-looking holster/pouch.
Going back tomorrow.......

How is it that the Quick Circle case will wirelessly charge with either the Korean or the international version yet wireless charging nodes appear to be differently placed?

 

[Maine Coon]

Look what is there:

Genuine QC case for $19.99. Genuine? Have my doubts about this. But as long as it works..

for some reason AF does not like the link. It is EarlyMon was here dot com

The wireless contact pattern shown on their site is different than what the contest winners (T-Mobile) have shown/probably won't line up & work.
Most likely,it's for the Korean variant.

As for the site,FWIW,I've purchased a couple things from them & haven't had any issues.

Even if it doesn't work for wireless charging (which is most probably the case, pun intended ), for $19.99 it is worth it as an extra case, me thinks.

I did buy something from them too, and haven't had any issues either.

Just hard to imagine that they can offer a GENUINE LG QC case for such price w/free shipping.

Some knockoff Quick Circle cases are coming out for cheaper than what the LG one will prolly cost:

Amazon.com: LG G3 Case, Verus [Quick Circle Window] LG G3 Flip Case [Dandy Nuevo] [Black] - Premium Vintage PU Leather Flip View Cover - Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, International, and Unlocked - Leather View Flip Case LG Optimus G3 D850 VS985 D8

There's also a few more G3 cases listed here

More on LG's official site here ... I'm sure their cases will be a little more expensive. Wireless charger/dock looks nice but will prolly cost an arm and a leg.

Waiting for a battery case but haven't found any yet

I agree,$20 for a flip case ain't too bad of a deal at all.
Icing on the cake if by chance they send you one that enables QI charging.

MobileFun has all of the Official G3 accessories for pre-order:

Two new official LG G3 cases: Slim Guard and Premium Hard | Mobile Fun Blog

MobileFun search "Official LG G3 Slim Guard Case"

MobileFun search "Official LG G3 Premium Hard Case"

The U.S. pricing on the cases isn't too bad,but,I'm holding off on the charger,waaaaay too pricey for such:

Also, for those that are still deciding on a smartwatch, Samsung is supposedly going to unveil their Android Wear watch at Google I/O this week

Even though I've been leaning towards the Moto 360, I'm still curious to see what Samsung has done and if they have gone with a completely different form factor from the Gear.

Powerbot is selling their Qi wireless chargers for decent prices.

Amazon.com: PowerBot

I've got the shipment notification from dx dash box dat com.

if their case has Qi charging for the US models, it will be the deal of the year

Although I doubt this.

Some other great goodies on that site. If the OEM accessories are actually OEM, the prices are steals. There are even some SGP accessories for other devices.
