LG G3 QuickCircle Case - Just got it

[stunt_101]

Just got my QuickCircle case and I want to share my thoughts with everyone.

Size: Although the case is suppose to replace the back panel of the phone, the size of this case is a little bigger thicker than the original back plate. Gripping the phone is also a little bit harder and a bit uncomfortable when the flap is opened and flipped to the back while using the phone.

Colour: I got the blue one and it looks very nice with the white version of the phone.

Software: As you've probably read in official reviews of this case, the software experience is limited and are proprietary to LG's selected software. There is a vast selection of watch faces which all looks really nice. The white light that circles around the parameter looks fantastic but i only wished it looped around a few more times before it disappeared. It only did half a loop, from top to bottom either way.

Connectivity: This case comes with NFC and Qi Charging enabled wish to some may be an upgrade as i've heard that the US and Korean variant do not come with Qi charging capability.

Other Thoughts: The flap can unlock and lock the screen automatically if you wish to set it that way. However, i wish there was a magnetic strip that can keep the flap in place even if I were to flip the phone faced down hanging. I'm not a case kinda guy so this is my first time with a case, i only bought it to play with the QuickCircle function. Let's see if this case is good enough for me to keep it on at least for a while.

Picture of the packaging.

Picture of the internal as you can see there are four pins (NFC + Qi), instead of two on the original back plate.

Good to see a review on case. I am also planning for same color combination. Can you please share the price of the case?

I'm mainly interested in the QI Charging capabilities of this cover.
If you were to detach the front cover/flap,does it appear that the back portion would look decent & have a tight seal (along the edge of the phone) w/o the front cover?

Just ordered the black one on Ebay.
$55 with free shipping.

if you look at the pics you can see that it over laps. it's not the same size as the stock back so I'd imagine removing the flap would make it look strange. a mother option might be to buy one, remove the qi Charing area and put that on a stock back. maybe?

That's what I'm considering if an OEM LG QI Cover is nowhere to be found soon after the global launch.

I've been searching for it as well and I haven't had any success. I checked almost every Chinese website that carries phone cases that I could think of. I have a strong feeling that they weren't released yet. I also checked ebay and its various foreign versions.

Darn. No magnetic strip. Total deal breaker. Why do they do this ?

Different To UK

Just so some know, the wireless capability is already built into the phone in the UK. Means not only is the case cheaper, no added bulk as the case doesn't incorporate anything extra for wireless charging. The back is basically a direct replacement.

Just saw the unboxing and compare of the Korean vs. international version. Looks like the qi charging points are a tad diffrent. really hope the circle case I have bought still works with the US version when released.

That's weird - wouldn't that mean they'd have to produce two different circle caes?

 

[Lorimere]

Yea, hoping someone can try the case on both. I could have just been mislead by the video, angles, ect.

If different, my QC case goes back to Korea.

Freak it.

yep.

but who knows?

I should have been waiting and get my discount from T-Mo on the accessories when buying a new phone.


Asked him to cancel.

Its in this video.

Look at the 59 sec mark when both back panels are off.

See if I can post a quick picture. I guess it is going to depend on which version the US gets.

Here is a picture

 

[Lorimere]

Guy in the t-mobile thread who has the t-mobile version verified that his is like the international version (pins with a gap). So guess I am going to have to go through the hassel of returning my case to Korea.

 

[poczynek]

That's very strange as they'd then have to make two different circle cases.
