Just incase anyone has the same idea as me:

2 of the pins on the back of the note 3 are for NFC, using an NFC antenna from a note 2 doesnt work to extend the range xD

@Lokki

Its an official samsung one so im going back and forth between the normal cover and the charging case.

Some googling seems to show that the wireless S View case definitely has its own nfc receiver built into it so im going to keep trying with that for now as I am having better luck with it =)

Edit: Trying it with the nfc sticker I get hits pretty much over the entire back of the phone whereas without it I only get near the known sweetspot =)

After some googling it seems that the wireless charging case might have and nfc extension in it (a few places stated that the top 2 of the 5 pins in the back of the phone are for nfc and not charging) so ive been trying it with the wireless charging case on and have had slightly better results, it isnt quite working but I get a reading then error sound...getting there!

I can get my note 3 to read an alpha and normal ring if I remove the back cover, but thats it. Im going to keep trying but looks like the note 3 just isnt very good with the nfc ring =(

Got it to sort of read the alpha ring once through the back cover, but got an error, still trying =)

Stuck the nfc sticker onto the ring to see if it being flat or curved made a difference...it does and it wont read the nfc sticker whilst on the alpha ring =(
