The S4 Active charging port have a rubber cover and I bet with constant open / close, this rubber will wear off or even fall off.
Hence, I am looking for a wireless charging solution, while waiting for Samsung to sell their version. Do you have any suggestions?
There seems to be many, like Metrans solution shown below. I am not sure if this will fit in the S4 active and NOT interfere with the rubber seal around the back cover.

My S4 came with standard plastic battery cover, but now I want the leather imitation that is coming with new devices. Searched eBay but no luck. Any ideas?

Very competitive price, 10€. However he doesn't ship to Europe. Here's impossible to find for less than 25.

Just bought this off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRODFNK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I'm pretty sure it's used. For those of you who have replaced your battery, is there any chance this is new and I'm crazy before I return?

Thanks.
*Note*
I bought from the US supplier, Everyday Source.
I need some help finding a legitimate battery also
That scrape down the middle combined with wrinkles definitely looks like it was originally glued in, and someone shoved a spudger or something underneath to pry it out.
A new OEM battery should cost about $20USD. As a general rule, if the price seems too good to be true, then it usually is. The description in the link says nothing about the battery being new either.
That's what I thought. The battery is going back. BTW, it's listed in the inventory field as new from the place I ordered.
I'm going to assume that none exist but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. A vertical charging dock wouldn't be very useful, since the whole point of docking the tablet for me would be movies.

There are plenty of cases, including the official Samsung keyboard case, that will act as a way to dock or stand the tablet up horizontally.
Okay, I should have been more specific. I would prefer one that has a charging port on the side (not the bottom) so you could attach it and charge it horizontally. It didn't occur to me that some of the docks could be placed horizontally, though, so I may just do something like this.

Quick question.
So, on the back of the phone are 6 contact points variously positioned above and beside the battery.
I know they are used for charging wirelessly when a Qi cover or receiver are installed. However, they only use 2 of the contact points, so what is the functionality or possible uses for the remaining 4 points?
In the picture you'll see the red arrow points to the 2 points side by side used to for wireless charging. The other points I've indicated by placing a box around them for identification.
Does anyone know what they can be used for?
Thanks

Did you test it with another phone/device? I can only guess but i guess its not related to the P7Pro.
P7P prefers PD...
It also seems to require data pins to work - a cheap "shunt 5V into the port" 2 wire charger won't work apparently.
This one should work:

These only works on very simple devices. Like a flashlight, or a radio
Thanks, guys.
One of the two leads will charge it.
Not sure why the other one doesn't.
So, I swapped the leads.
The other lead is charging a low-power GPS device.
I'm going to check the device that kodabmx posted.
I missed it in my previous shopping search!
