Hey all, I'm in the process in getting my wireless charging back cover from Samsung and wanted to know which cases still fit using that special back.

If it is a bit thicker i dont think that any case could fit, if its the same size like standart back cover every case for the s4 should fit.

Samsung still doesn't have the normal battery cover in stock? You mean to tell me they have the qi one available already?

Do a search this was asked and answered and yes there are some that fit.

Uag case, any soft tpu case like cruizer light, neo hybrid, otter box defender if you take the foam out. Probably more

I don't have a s4 but from what I have read you can just get wireless charging inserts and keep the stock back cover.

Samsung already released it a few weeks after the S4 launch.

The Neo Hybrid has a bulge on the back since the wireless battery cover is slightly thicker. It won't work with the original Samsung case which I'm currently using right now
Any more updates on this?

rubberized?
I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha
This would look similar to those you see here G.lider aluminum bumper

im waiting for this to come in the mail. does anyone have experience with this case. i mainly bought it for the finger grips and that it has rubber buttons. it doesnt have a name brand tho
Just wanted to show off the OEM case that Samsung sells on their website. This was $21 on amazon with prime, or $29 on samsung.com ($14.99 with the 50% off coupon). Looks great, fits great, and is listed as able to fit with the galaxy multimedia dock with case on. Buttons feel great and case comes on and off very easy. The white backing is a matte pearl white and all the cutouts are perfect.
the white case looks really great with the white phone, you almost cant tell its a case
thanks for the pictures! will be picking one up today in white :good:
it's a nice case but I think I rather have just a bumper the back makes it look awkward even though it tries to mimic the original rear cover...

I have the bright blue one. They really are very nice looking and well fitting cases. I love the look and feel of the case. Not quite enough protection for me as a daily driver though, so I don't use it that often.
I have the dark navy one for the black phone. I like it a lot.

just got mine, best case ive used for the s4 hands down! wont be using my sgp neo hybrid anymore.
I got the Navy blue on my white S4. This will be my daily case from now on unless i need the extra juice then I'd slap my Anker 5200 with my white hyperion case on it.

I have the tech21 D3O flip cover case. The inner lining is soft and good for the case in case of drops and the leather flap has a soft surface to protect the screen. There's plastic tabs all around the side of the case to protect the phone except on the buttons. Cut-outs are where they need to be and the back case is raised to keep the camera from scratching and muffling the speaker.
Just be careful with the case you get. I got my case from t-mobile. I got my first one and I noticed that the top left corner did not sit right on the phone. In due time it began to crack and give way. After turning the case in and replacing it for a second one, it now fits perfect and there are no cracks.

I've had the impact mesh case for over a month now. I ordered from Amazon and I got it within 15 days. It's a very nice case, even though I dislike the color (found out they have a dark blue color instead of this smokey one).

Well it's pliable when holding it, but rigid once on the phone. Think of it as a gel case: it's thick, yet thin (mind blowing, trust me); and it has great grip (almost like rubber).

I'd personally get the dark blue case. I'm not a big fan of the brown mesh with orange lol. The dark blue seems to make the case completely black with blue/purple accents. I'll probably be ordering it one day soon lol.
Btw, like Tech21 says, the case rises above the screen by a millimeter. Sometimes it feels like if it isn't risen at all lol.

Is there proof anywhere that the D3O technology actually makes a difference in protection?

A case is a case. Any case at all will provide some amount of protection but there's no perfect solution. It does feel amazing on the phone when holding holding it. And it looks good. I like it a lot so far.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I just picked up this case today. I have a white s4 so I got the clear maze pattern with the orange bumper. Absolutely looks sick, I'll post pics tomorrow. The case adds hardly any thickness. However the 3do bumper is a bit thicker. However from what I've seen and read its well worth an extra mom or so.
There is a small lip to protect the face when placed on a table. Fits very tight and pretty confident it won't fall off in the case of a drop. I like the way the case feels in hand. The tpu gives it a great grip. The poetic atmosphere and slim armor i have are quite slippery when you hold the phone and place it down.
I'll upload pics asap.

Hello everyone.
I'm desperately looking for a bumper case for my i9500
since I've got my device, which is 2 month for now, I'm traveling around with no case at all, because nothing fits to its thick wireless charging cover.
If anyone here can give us links to buy any bumper that's fits well,
I would be very greatful.
The Samsung bumper protect case? Seen them at best buy.
can you paste here a link for product ?
I haven't found anything
I think the bumper (as in no back, just a rim around the phone) is for the active.
The case could be the samsung protective cover+...but it has a back, so you cant use wireless charging as you need to keep the back exposed.

Not really, the magnetic field passes through most covers. As long as they aren't too thick or made of metal you shouldn't have a problem.

I just got a rooCase bumper, it fits good with my Samsung wireless charging back,the only drawback is the bumper doesn't stick out very far in back, the gap between the case & the table is pretty small. I'm worried it might make contact/scratch over time. I'm going to put a skin on the back, even if it's just extra wide clear tape.
