Does anyone know of or can recommend a nice wireless charging station for the S5? I'm glad the phone is dust/water proof, but messing with that micro USB cover my get old after a while. Plus, it could break off. I haven't used wireless charging since my Palm Pre days so I have no idea what's out.

There is a nokia charger the dt-900 I believe is the model number. I just ordered from AT&Ts website for 25 bucks. After reading reviews it seems most people agree its the best option for the price.

I've got 2 of them that I use on my Note 3 with wireless charging cover (1 at home, 1 at work) - they're both great.
I bought one off Amazon for ~$40 and another for ~$25 on some daily deal site. Well worth the investment to not have to futz around with cables.
Only thing I see so far is that Samsung isn't offering the wireless charging back for the S5 yet; with the Note 3, it took them a month or two after launch to put them online for purchase and even then, they were backordered.

I've got a close friend who works at the samsung experience shop within the local best buy and he had training last week on the s5 and its accessories. He said they are expecting the charging back in store within a week of launch. Good news is the first one that come in has my name on it so hopefully I dont have to contend with too much.
If you get a wireless charging back does it make the phone too thick for traditional 3rd party cases. What I want to do is get a wireless charging back plate and then put a case around the whole phone. Is that possible?

I had an S4 (and Note3) with wireless charging back covers and cases on both...SOME cases work.
For the S4, I was able to use Cruzerlite TPU cases with no problem. Any of the hard cases didn't work for me (Spigen) and I even tried the multi-piece cases (TPU + hard bumper) but the only ones that worked were Cruzerlite TPU.
In fact, I'm so sure that the S5 will work with Cruzerlite and a wireless charging back cover, I already bought a new case.
I'm gonna keep on the Best Buys for a wireless charging back and charger. Gonna get a white phone and black backplate. Mmmm sexy.

I wonder if wireless charging doesn't damage internal parts of the phone? Anyone got an explanation or experience here?

I'm only curious as samsung has the intention of providing this feature, i've been using wireless charging for a good 3+years with gs3, gs4, note 2 and now note 3, all without any problem.

You can buy a wireless charging back from Samsung (doesn't come standard though).

It's samsung's way of making more money, i prefer a receiver insert, it's thinner and i've been using them with all my phones.
I will be picking a few up in the next few days in china, need to check what the quality is like.

Really??? I got one for my S4 and it was awful - so thick that the case bulged out in the middle of the back...so much that the phone didn't lay flat on the table anymore.
Even though the Samsung battery cover is a little thicker overall, at least it's symmetrical and doesn't look home-made.

Wondering if anyone has any information on any accessories possibly coming to a best buy store. At my local store I only saw 1 case that was a brand I've never heard of. I'm hoping for maybe the powermat quick circle case, or any official lg case. Anything more than 1 case

Except the circle case is the snap on case and not one that replaces the back.

Personally I would like the snap on one better because of the whole wireless charging problem, I would like to have wireless charging but $60 for the att pma case + a charging pad is too much. Considering buying the snap on case and adding a magnet like this: http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Samsu...&qid=1406300654&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+magnet to keep it closed.

Well the snap on case is $49.99 and that magnet you want is $9.99. That's $59.98 plus potential shipping. How is that any cheaper than $60? You don't have to buy a charging pad to use the case..... lol.
So as I have learned my Edge and the Note 4 share nothing but some specs, the back battery covers are different as are the batteries.
Does anyone know if there is a legitimate Samsung Qi battery cover for the edge out yet?
I can find this one for the Note 4 on their website (EP-CN910IBUSTA): http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CN910IBUSTA
But nothing for the Edge. Ebay is littered with them, but I don't trust is if the samsung site doesn't have any.
Or am I being overly cautious and should trust this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121475910841?lpid=82
Thanks!
i've seen them available. search ebay and amzaon. they are like 47 bucks. i found them while looking for batteries

Me too, but I'm highly skeptical if samsung.com doesn't have them yet... Any reason a 3rd party would have them before Samsung?
(This is my first samsung device, so have zero experience with them.)

Some of them on ebay are from Samsung . The reason is those are from Samsung Korea, which launched the device 2 months ago, so they have the cover available already
Samsung Korea site has them Those are what being sold on eBay. But for $37+$19 shipping is too steep. I'm sure Samsung US will start selling them pretty soon.
I know this is kind of an old thread but the eBay listings are indeed from Korean Samsung. Got mine today
I bought one through ebay from Korea, and I can tell it works well. I am also using the Samsung Qi charger pad.

How is it working out? I have a Qi charger baked into my car and would love to have this as an option. Does the Qi back come with the Samsung Qi base?

Works great. Had one on my S5 also. It does not come with the base but you should have fiend the Samsung 50% off coupon so you can get that for cheap. I'm using the Qi from my nexus 4
This is just the charging back cover, NOT the flip wallet cover, right?
Can't find a charging flip wallet cover, even on Ebay.

So I ordered the back plus pad on ebay and paid the $20 for shipping. Came in less then a week and after a full day I'm thrilled.
I picked up a qi mini from Best buy for $29 so I can have one at work and one at home.
It works great, and from all I can tell it feels OEM. Not only does the function rock, but it feels much more substantial. After having a HTC M7 and M8, this device felt really cheap. The new back cover greatly improves the form factor.
The back is slightly thicker, it's completely flush with the camera.
Highly recommended!!
added bulk

Probably won't fit your car no matter what case it is. It makes it thicker. Its a hair thicker than being flush with the camera.
I know with my note 3, the only case I could use that fit like it was supposed to was a bumper case.
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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Extra-Battery-Kit-New-Box-EB-KN910BWUSTA-/271713773827
just ordered the blue case, came out to $20 after tax+shipping..
then went to amazon, and saw a seller slashed his prices in half and added free shipping. so if you goto amazon, they're 15 bucks right now. was pissed lol
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...-Kit-New-in-Box-EB-KN910BWUSTA-/271714934815?
for those of you who do not have discounts w/ samsung's accessories.

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...
Hi,
I'm in intrested in buying the wireless charging cover for the s5 but I don't now if it is worth it.
If someone had it could he give me some feedback? Thanks
There are severalI different charging covers @ the market.
I own the S charger cover EP-CG900IWE by Samsung and I don't want to miss it
What's wrong with just plugging it in?
doing wireless gives you flexibility , just put it on tap of wireless charging pad and will charge the phone
Bought mine maybe 6 months ago, it's an S-view wireless back cover combination from Samsung. I have to say it's great having this, I have 2 charging pads, one at the office and one at home; I just place my phone to the pad when I'm not using it and doing work, and at home I place it on the pad before going to bed so I don't have to worry about battery level anymore.
The only thing you should check out is it's losses(power), with 2 Amps of input, you might only get 700-1000 mA of output so charging will take twice as much time as it would if you use the stock charger that came with the phone.

I wish I could find one for under $100... sigh
I'm not allowed to post links , otherwise - is your google not working
~ 23 €
From where? Only one ive found that is genuine is on amazon for 100
I don't really want the s view case...
I use genuine Samsung wireless charging back cover , from Amazon UK £28 with a Cheotech 3 coil charging pad, from Amazon UK £19
Anyone managed to find black cover with Qi? There are some on eBay from USA, but with sick prices (100$ and more). There is one on Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Charger-Cover-Galaxy-S5/dp/B00IN9HZ0S/ref=sr_1_10 but "Temporarily out of stock". I've even talked with Samsung customer service in Poland and they said they don't have it.
I have this chinese Qi coil that goes under back cover, but it's rubbish. It lifts the cover a bit, making gap around LEDs and ruining water resistance.

I've got the same problem mate. I'm about ready to accept that fact that if I want Qi charging with good looks I'll have to buy an S-View cover
I've talked with support on Amazon UK. They told me it's really "temporarily" and if I buy it, they'll have it in few days. I'll try. If not - probably S-View + carpet knife to remove the front.
This may sound stupid but Ikea sells them, but only in white $15. I know sounds crazy right!
I've had the wireless charging cover + pad (not s-view version) and i say that i really enjoy the use of it -- very convenient.
Got a pad in the office, the bedroom and in the car!
Charges slower than cable obviously and the phone does warm up quite a bit, thankfully it will pause the charging if it gets too hot so no biggie on that

Do yourself a favour and do not buy those.
They don't fit properly and I'm sure they don't even properly seal the back.
Tried one and immediately gave it back.
It was incredibly difficult for me to find one of those back covers as well (germany), but after days of searching trough various vendors that are supposed to are samsung resellers, I finally found an original S-charger cover for my white S5 on amazon for 30€.
Take a look:
Telefonide tarvikud | Maxfield - Samsung - PowerNeed - Grateq - Omega - Ansmann - Olloclip - Caterpillar - KSIX - Sony - Photopoint
I use an Easychee qi-Pad. Lifts the backcover a very very little bit.
In combination with an easychee t300 the best thing for my s5 i ever had.
Perfect charging through my silikon flip case.
For the easychee t300 (about 40$) theres a special tip.
I bought it via amazon. Its name is KOS-T30PC Charging Pad.
Its 100% the same pad. Cost 15$ via amazon.
Look its this one
Amazon US and Amazon UK now have them listed and "temporarily out of stock". I "bought" one on each site. If I ever receive one, I will cancel the other. Or accept it and sell it on eBay.
The UK one was 23 pounds. The one on Amazon US was only USD$22! And "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

We'll see...!

For you that use the S-View cover, doesn't that front flap get super annoying? Don't you have to open it and fold it back every time you use the phone for anything, including talking on it?
That thing looks so annoying that for now I am just sticking with plugging a cable in whenever I need a charge - even though I already have Qi charging pads everywhere.
I'm using oem qi cover. It works perfectly and keeps the phone waterproof. Can't remember how much I paid for it but not more than $50.
Absolutely must have in the car. I'm using a QI charging car mount. For home - not that important but still very nice.
