We’re big fans of the new LG G3 – as our recent review attests, it could well be one of the best Android devices ever made. Featuring a supremely impressive 5.5inch HD screen, speedy 2.4GHz processor and a laser-guided 13 megapixel camera, the G3 is set to become a must-have over the new few months.
But what if you want to glam up your new device even further? From cases to wireless charging, here are some of the best G3 accessories around right now…
Spigen Slim Armor case
Available in seven colours, the Slim Armor case is specifically designed to protect the device at all angles, featuring improved shock absorption on the top, bottom, and corners to effectively protect the phone from external impact.

The case is double layered with a TPU case and a polycarbonate hard case to provide additional protection in a form-fitted design, fitting precisely onto the LG G3 for a natural and sleek look, with a special opening on the rear specifically designed to fully utilise the speaker without reducing sound quality. The polycarbonate midsection has a glossy UV coating to prevent the colors from fading or rubbing off.
Stylus
The G3 is quite a sizeable device, with that massive screen pushing it close to the realms of phablet-ness. Smaller hands may find it difficult to operate and access certain options when using the device, which is wear a stylus may come in handy. You can pick up basic versions for as little at 99p on eBay, but we prefer Olixar’s stylish HexStyli 6-in-1 device, which also packs a ballpoint pen, ruler, spirit level and screwdriver.
LG WCD-100 Official Wireless Desktop Charger Dock
The G3 is one of a growing number of new devices to feature wireless charging, as manufacturers look to do away with the days of worrying over battery life. Packing a 3,000mAh battery, the G3 does require some serious juice, though, and this charging deck, the official offering from LG, does away with wires entirely to offer you a quick and convenient way to charge your device. Looking an old-style phone chair, you simply place your phone on the small shelf and it will begin charging, meaning you can continue to use the phone as it powers up.
Spigen GLAS.tR NANO SLIM Screen Protector
With such an impressive screen to show off, you’ll want to make sure it stays protected, and luckily case maker Spigen can also offer a high-quality glass protector. The GLAS.tR NANO SLIM has been specially made with scratch resistant material and rounded edges for a more precise fit.
At just 0.23mm thick, the GLAS.tR NANO SLIM has an special oleophobic (the fear of oil, apparently) coating that prevents greasy fingerprints and other contaminants spoiling the screen and also makes it easy to clean. It’s pretty resilient too, coming with a surface hardness of 8~9H, which is three times stronger than regular PET film, meaning that not even sharp objects such as knives and keys will scratch it. And if the worst should happen and the protector breaks, it will crack into non-sharp small pieces that are held within the film thanks to an anti-shatter feature.
LG G Watch
Wearable devices are one of the fastest-growing trends in the technology market right now, and LG has signalled its intention to become a part of the market with the launch of its G Watch earlier this year. Powered by Google’s optimised Android Wear operating system and featuring voice commands, the device should be an ideal companion to your G3, with straightforward pairing allowing you to view notifications from your phone via your watch.
LG QuickCircle Case
Another official LG accessory, the QuickCircle case allows users to keep an eye on their notifications without having to fully access the whole device. Looking at first glance like a typical flip cover case, the QuickCircle has a circular Perspex cut-out display which lets you interact with the phone’s functions without flipping open the cover.
As well as providing at-a-glance notifications, time and weather information, a separate menu allows you to control music playback, take photos, check unread text messages, review your call logs, make and receive calls, and check on your exercise, with daily step totals counted by the G3’s built-in accelerometer.
The case doesn’t add any bulk to the device, replacing the existing rear cover, and fits in well with the G3’s existing smooth metallic/plastic body, making it a smart choice for your phone.
i-Blason Prime Series Dual Layer Holster Case
Basic rear cases are all well and good, but what if you need a little more protection for your new best friend?
The i-Blason case offers a flexible yet strong dual-layer option, featuring an inner layer of silicone which providers shock absorption and abrasion resistance while ensuring it isn’t too bulky, with a reinforcing hard shell layer clipping the phone and silicone case together.
The case features a holster and belt clip which can rotate 180 degrees to ensure you can always get your hands on the device, and also comes with a built-in stand also allowing you to watch videos and movies with enviable comfort.
