It doesn't feel that bad to me, but I typically throw it down before going to bed, and by the time I wake up, it's topped off and cool.

Since the G4 is curved, it's already not sitting flush with my old Samsung charger. The charging coil needs to be relatively close to the charger to work, so a thick case combined with the curve could be enough to mess it all up. All that said, I've been wirelessly charging with the case on for...

So I woke up to a fully-charged phone, but at least 2X, it went from a steady green light to a blinking amber one. I'll try again tonight without the case and see if I get different results.

I bit on this, and it seems to work-- the back was harder to attach than my stock leather one, but once it was on, I had no issues using my old Samsung Qi charger with the back. When I put the phone back in the (Diztronic) case I was using, that was thick enough that I had to be more careful...

And the update- this really is more of a case than a back, and a cheap one at that... the hunt continues.

Just found a back on eBay for $5, and it's from a local seller. If the back doesn't look like absolute junk, I'll grab the sticker and give it a whirl. Here's what I'm grabbing: Ultra Thin Slim Chrome Carbon Fiber Hard Back Cover Case for LG G4 F500 2015 | eBay I'll update when it shows up.

I've got a waterproof case for my S4, so I've kept that phone for situations where it might get dunked. It's been really nice to know that I can stay in touch without worrying about destroying my new toy, but it also highlights what a jump the G4 is over the S4, and how worn down the S4 is--...

My experience with the Samsung S4 was that the thickness of the case did make a difference. The official Samsung Qi back made your phone thicker than normal, and the Diztronic case was one of the few that would stretch to get around it. But it was still thin enough to allow me to charge it...

Based on what I've read, it sounds like no one's putting out a replacement back that also contains the NFC/Qi coil? Only cases? Has anyone found a cheap replacement for the back? If I'm going to experiment with this, I'd rather ruin a $10 replacement back than my leather one. So far, I've only...

Argh, double post.

I actually miss the physical Home button from my S4, and the capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel-- I set the phone to hide the on-screen buttons the majority of the time, but I'm continually having my up-swipe gesture interpreted as typing. I'd like to get that screen space back. Beyond...

I never even noticed that the "back" button on my Nexus 9 was in a different location than my S4. Then when I got the G4, the back button was bugging me, so I moved it. Then I noticed after a few hours, it was messing me up again in the new location, so I moved it back. I realized that because...

FWIW, I bought on 6/16, signed up for both promos on 6/17, and received the battery/32GB card on 6/27. Still waiting for a shipping notification for the 128GB card.

You need to get T-Mobile to send you a check, you sold a G4 for them last night :) Very happy so far, absolutely love that the camera has a manual focus option. I probably would have bought immediately had I realized that tidbit.

Thanks for that- any views on the camera?
