People say that it fits the Touchpad...I picked up a couple for myself.
Snatch these up before they're gone. The deal is in www.passwird.com.
I hear they dont work with the Touchstone charger.
I just ordered 1. Cant beat $5!
I just got mine (though I paid $10) and it works on my touchstone charger when closed.
biggest gripe was FedEX showing up at 10am and my having to sign for it. (no way to just get standard USPS shipping where I didn't have to stay home from work.

Hey all, I just noticed that the official Powermat back battery door for the MT4GS is on sale at T-Mobile for ten bucks. You'll still need the actual Powermat charger, which goes for $20-30 online. The website also charges shipping and sales tax, FYI. But still a good price:

great find, is it only in black?
These are highly worth the money, it charges the phone much faster and is nice to not "plug" my phone in..
Got one for xmas and works amazing..

my battery door just **** the bed, so this is a godsend!
Case that fits?
I just got the PowerMat and battery door when I upgraded on Saturday. I love it, but I can't find a case that will fit over the slighty larger than normal battery door. Has anyone else had luck finding something that works?
Where's the best place to get a single position mat? Best price?

I looked around Amazon a little bit and saw plenty of single-position mats for a particular device, usually including the receiver door for that device, for under $10. (You know, for a device that you don't have. ) Here is one example (for BlackBerry Bold 9700): http://www.amazon.com/Powermat-Position-Charging-BlackBerry-Receiver/dp/B00462QB4C
It looks like these mats have a custom indentation to hug the back of the device, so it's unlikely to be a perfect fit. Also, if you device doesn't fit into the indentation, it might not charge.
But ... cheap! Most of these are not Amazon Prime eligible, so it costs another few bucks for shipping.

I'm sort of inspired by this thread to try hacking some powermat chargers for some other phones where the receiver is still expensive or there just isn't a receiver. If you search around, you can find some reports of folks who have done this with varying degrees of aesthetic sensibility in the results.
One idea, that I kind of like a lot, is to use the Palm Pre charging "Touchstone" as the transmitting mat. Because the Palm Pre was kind of a dud in the marketplace, the Touchstones are available for pretty cheap. Here's an example at Amazon for under $5, including shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Touchstone-Charging-Dock-Pre/dp/B002CMEIWK. One hitch with the Touchstone is that it uses a couple of magnetic thingies to activate it (and, I guess, hold the device in place). I'm sure one could deal with that somehow.
Thanks for the last post.
Alright, I'm totally confused. I took a look on Amazon earlier this week, but without confidence in the mat actually working with the device perfectly, I decided to check out what was in stores.
I go to Best Buy and couldn't find them. I asked an associate and they said that they no longer are carrying PowerMats because of the shorting out risk.
Ummmmmmm, okay....
I go to Radio Shack and the associate there starts talking to me about two different types and how one doesn't charge fully all the time and that kills your battery over time and the other involves walking around with a "puck" on your phone.
What the hell is everyone talking about??? I thought these were pretty good and I'm reading nothing but nice reviews online, with the exception of the expense. Frankly, at $10 plus shipping for the case, I no longer care about the expense.
Thoughts????
I don't know anything definitive about most of that. From poking around today, I've deduced a few things (none of which involved "shorting out" ).
Powermat and Duracell both made something that looked like roughly the same technology. Some time in the recent past, Powermat and Proctor and Gamble (who I guess own the Duracell brand?) formed a joint venture or some marketing agreement to make and sell "Duracell Powermat" devices.
The mention of a puck thing could mean either of two things. First, Powermat sells a "universal" receiver, which is a little block with the inductor coil inside it. You still have to connect it to your phone's charger port via mini/micro USB (or one of their other tips). Of course, you wouldn't have that on all the time, except when you are charging. Second, Duracell sells or used to sell a gadget that semi-permanently plugs into your USB port and then sticks to the back of your phone. The latter sounds like what the RS guy was talking about.
After a couple days out of town, I returned to find a bunch of packages of el cheapo Powermat stuff for experiments.
I got a single-position mat specially intended for iPhone 3G and 3GS from a 3rd party supplier on Amazon for $7.44 (and free shipping due to Amazon Prime). With the MT4GS Powermat receiver cover from T-Mobile, I can charge using this mat. It's not a perfect fit. The mat does have an indentation, but it's not for the iPhone. The included iPhone case has a rectangular hump on the back, and the indentation is for that hump. Still, by wiggling things a bit and placing the MT4GS off-center, it does charge. The MT4GS cover does not have that hump ... it's just slightly thicker than standard overall.
From the feel of things, there must be magnets that activate the mat. So, I had to fiddle with the placement of the phone to get the mat to turn on. Once it did, the charging light came on for the phone.
(I haven't taken any of this apart yet, so I'm speculating a little.)
On spec, I bought a Palm Pre Touchstone charging kit. They are pretty cool looking and are available pretty cheaply. (Mine cost less than $10, and I've now seen them for $4.) Alas, the kit include the charging dock (which I hope turns out to be compatible with Powermat) and a receiver cover for the Palm Pre (yawn), but it turns out that it wants to reuse the power cord from the original Palm Pre charger.
It looks like it's a mini USB connector (though it could be micro USB), but it fits into a pretty cramped tunnel in the charging dock. None of the USB cords I have on hand will fit all the way into that tunnel.
So, that's a bit of a bust, but I reckon I might buy a Palm Pre power supply since they are also pretty cheap. The looks of the Touchstone are so cool, I hope I can get it working with my MT4GS.
Anyone interested in one or two of these?
Sorry to Necro this thread but has anyone gotten this door to work with Qi chargers? I suppose it won't work out of the box but I can imagine switching out the coil with one for like a SGS3 or some such.
I found an original HTC MyTouch 4G Slide dock on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00685KHGI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), for the great price of $8.99 with free shipping. It is a very sturdy device, it works beautifully, comes with the cable and wall plug. The neat thing is when you slide the phone into the charger, the display automatically switches to the Desk Clock mode, with the weather displayed. After a while, it will go to the "screen saver" mode, with just the time displayed. You can touch "night mode" to dim it. Makes for a great bedside clock/charger. I wish I'd found this sooner.
Nice find! Bought this a while back at twice the price! An awesome dock for sure, it was well worth the 15$ I paid for it then, anyone with a ds and 9 extra bucks would for sure be missing out!

I ordered this, and received a PowerMat Receiver (phone back) instead of a Dock. It's barely worth the shipping cost to send it back.
PITA.

How odd. After getting the first one, since I liked it so much, I ordered a second one and received it. Now I have one on my desk and another on my nightstand.

Thanks for the response. Maybe I'll try again.
Hey guys,
After waiting for 2 months now on back order at the official Samsung site for my Note 4 accessories, I've found out as of this morning, they're all back in stock!!! I got an email at around 5 AM stating the items I backordered are back to buy and I was like FINALLY! (Note: this is for USA site and possibly for USA consumers?)
This includes the very hard to find Samsung Note 4 Protective Cover+ (both colors) and Samsung Note 4 Battery Charging Kit (includes an OEM battery + charging case that charges on its own).
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories
Note: If you register your Galaxy Note 4 on Samsung website, they'll email you a 50% off coupon on any accessories under 49.99 which makes it a very slick deal compared to the prices elsewhere for these accessories.
That makes Galaxy Note 4 Protective Cover $14.99 and Galaxy Note 4 Battery Charging Kit $22.49 instead of original prices of $29.99 and $44.99 respectively (Taxes and shipping apply separately).
In comparison/alternatively: Groupon currently have Galaxy Note 4 Protective Cover for $20.99. https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-samsung-galaxy-note-4-cover-case
As a bargain hunter and a slick dealer, buying directly from Samsung, this is the best price for a NEW genuine product even with terrible taxes/shipping fees. Cheers!
I also have an extra up for sale on my eBay.
Still new and sealed in box.

wish they had the red ones
I wish the battery kits were in stock...any idea when they will restock? I can't even have it notify me when they do restock
Samsung.com won't let me register my phone.... it says support only
For anybody interested in the protective cover, buy it, you won't be disappointed. It fits like a glove, looks great, and doesn't add much bulk.
Anyone ever seen the Wireless Charging Battery Cover in stock? It's been months since the release of Note 4, but I've never seen it in stock.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CN910IBUSTA
They have tons in my local Best Buy
All out of stock again...
I just received mine and popped it on instantly.
Guys / gals, this is by far the best presentation I have ever seen in a case/back cover. Way better than OEM IMHO.
It's real leather (smells like a new car with leather interior), cut is fantastic, quality is amazing. I put it on and popped on to my CHOEtech 3coil Qi wireless charging stand and it starting charging instantly, no worries about placement or finding the sweet spot.
The packaging it came in is like a compressed cardboard or particle wood casing you'd keep cigars in. I got the BROWN one.

Hey would you or anyone else have a TYLT VU Charger ? I bought one Amazon when they were on sale but I also have 2 cheaper knockoffs Itian's. All 3 are working for me I picked up the Black Leather Back. But on the TYLT I have issue where the phone will connect to Wireless charging and then disconnect it might do this up to 3 times or 2x and once the screen turns off it will be connected and can tell by the Green Light. The Itian's just plan connect and don't have this issue. I also have a Nexus 6 and it connects with the TYLT just fine without that issue.
Not sure if's really a issue will give it time since I just got the Leather Back today will see how it perform's.
Well now looks like my Itian's are having the same issue but now it won't even connect the light will just Flash from Red to Blue no stop.
Does this feel "soft"?
Current price is 10.49 without wireless charging. How much was it for the wireless charging version? They are currently out of stock so cant see pricing for that option.

I paid $16 on eBay from a US seller. It does have a nice feel to it but really don't matter to me since mine will be a case 99% of the time. I decided for $16 why not since the sticker along is $10-$15.
FWIW, I too bought the $16 eBay back, and was just refunded by the seller today. It has connect/disconnect issues, and heats my phone up way too hot. Seller claims he is removing them for sale, and sending the batch back to distributor. FYI for anyone considering this product t.

I bought the same, paid $14, mine does not have the issues you mentioned. I use a ChoeTech 3coil stand. It is warm while charging until full, like all my Qi devices..
I've had the case for a bit over a month now, ordered the white to match my phone.
The good is that the color matches well, apart from the lines you can see where the leather is applied, it pairs nicely with the phone. The wireless charging works great, and it has a generous amount of wiggle room when placing it on a qi charger compared to my old S6 which was tricky to place just right. It also feels very nice in the hand compared to the textured back, and is much more grippy surprisingly, especially when the phone gets a bit warm, getting your hand a little sweaty.
The bad parts are that it is noticeably thicker than the OEM cover, and you can feel it when you place your finger on the power button to unlock it. The other part would be more likely my fault, since I choose white, but it gets very dirty and it can be tedious having to take it off every so often to clean it. The third and last part, three clips on my case have already broken. They are on both sides, near the bottom. Most likely from constantly taking it off to change batteries, and cleaning it every few days.
I got one white leather and 2 plastic one's, I have stopped using it as some members said they had their phone wireless feature dead after a few weeks, has anyone had this problem.
I got the same case in black from Amazon for $18. It came in the same package and box. The material was fake PU leather. Returned it
They must be taking a loss or something. They're now going for $25 without the charger (still not available)
