Case with NFC support - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

Does anyone know which protective cases spigen, incipio, otterbox, etc allow for NFC mobile payments to work?

SGP Tough Armour and Otter Box Commuter work fine. If they work most non metal cases should to.

I have the Otterbox Defender and have not had issues with the nfc phone to phone transfer. However, I found a pop machine that actually accepted isis payment with the nfc but I think the case is too much as it would not find it. I didn't feel like taking my case off to test the theory.

My tech21 Impact Mesh case fits over the official wireless charging back and doesn't seem to interfere at all with NFC or wireless charging. I'm loving this case.

Otterbox commuter works fine

Well don't take this as 100% confirmation, but at least between two galaxy s3's with urban armor gear on bought nfc worked fine.
I'm not yet got urban armour gear to my s5 that's why I had only tried nfc with that case on my old s3.

Wow, sorry but in my opinion that case is hideous! It looks extremely bulky. Will definitely protect the case but it's just too bulky for my liking.
I really dislike those magnetic flaps which just seem to flap around and get in the way. Take a look at this one, not sure if its available worldwide though which is a bit of a bummer!

If I continue to carry a "wallet" I need to hold two cards drivers license and credit card.
The case you show looks nice for one card. Thank you

Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back

Let's try to gather a list of cases that are compatible with the wireless charging cover, since it has been confirmed to be thicker here http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/...rging-cover-review-with-samsung-charging-pad/

Like all the other wireless charging back cover samsung has on their other phones, no 3rd party manufacturer is going to mold a case for it. There's just no profit for the small population that will buy the wireless back cover.

hmm I sure some 3rd party's in China would throw some gel cases together.
They will make good $$ off them
Anyone have a connection with Chines manufacture...a friend of a friend etc?
UPDATE:
Ive purchased a few cases from this ebay seller in the past they are great quality - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171254663051&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
I shot them message explaining whats going on with lack of GS5 Gel cases that accommodates wireless back cover,
Hopefully they reply

Well.. I wouldn't call stretching the TPU rubber to extend fit, an actual form fitting case.
If you read this S4 thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333725&page=10
You can see that even to this date, there is no real 'made for wireless charging' back case available.
Well I just ordered Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case [Rev. 2] for Samsung Galaxy S5 lol
By the looks stretch can be possible with heat gun
Tough Armour Doesn't Fit

that's why Samsung should sell their phones with wireless covers from day one with the phone to not cause this problems.they only want to make more money and make things difficult to people that wanna use protective covers.
I really wanna this cover because i want to stay with the phone with water resistance but this are the things that makes me not want to use it

With my note 3 and the genuine wireless charging back I was able to use my uag navigator. Hoping the same for the s5.

Cheers I try that and hope it works. Ideally I want to use a Candy Shell but I'm fairly certain it won't fit.
I wish Samsung had included this from the start. Now it's not worth a case makers time/money to make compatible cases.

I got a third party wireless receiver pad (which is used with the standard non wireless cover) on Amazon and my Spigen Slim fit case still fits, though there is a very slight (but almost unnoticeable) bulge where the wireless receiver is.
Currently the only cases that would work with the Samsung wireless charging cover are basic bumper type cases. Had the same issue on my Note 3.

The thing about 3rd party wireless receiver pad is that you lose your IP67 (water/dust proof), thats why most of us wants the official one

True, depending on thickness of the wireless receiver. I personally don;t intend to use my phone under water, or leave it in the glass of water next to my bed, and leave it in my pocket when in the loo, so not a big issue for me personally
Seriously though, there is very little chance that case manufacturers will make cases specifically for the S5 that has the standard wireless charging cover on (and if they do, they will be more expensive to compensate for limited demand), so if we want to use our slim fit / rugged cases AND have wireless charging, we may need to do without water / dust proof. If you do get
Or use a normal cover for a daily use. And when you arrive home that's where most of the people have their wireless pads. Switch covers. It's the only idea I think it's rubbish but yes. I agree with the statement above. The manufactures only gonna do cases for the phone that's released . Unless there was something that made the manufacturer's realise they can get a lot of money of. Doing new cases.
another way is to get wireless charging backcover and put a skin on it, but im not sure if it gona look good, because the skin is made for the normal backcover
Or use a bumper

The only way to know for sure is to try. Go to a store and see if it fits. I used a UAG navigator case on my note 3 with wireless cover just fine. On my S4 I used a tech 21 and a Spigen neo hybrid as well.

no manufacture will start a new production line for one case just for the this purpose.
Anyone try an Otterbox Defender with the wireless charging back?

Rugged Case for Galaxy Note 4

I have the Galaxy Note 4, I love outdoor activities and I bring the Galaxy Note 4 with me always, I have the Rugged Case for Galaxy Note 4, i-Blason Armorbox Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case to protect my phone from bumps and other accidental drop when I do some activities, and it serves me well, I wonder if what are other alternatives for it, I would love to have one but reluctant to buy other brands, any recommendation based on your personal experience?
Here is the one that I bought
, i-Blason Armorbox Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case
Can anyone suggest me another one?
Otterbox Defender...THE last case your Note4 will ever be in.

+1 for the Otterbox Defender, the commuter is also a perfect case for the Note 4.

I dunno where you got that info from. I've had the defender on mine since day one and no problems with it at all.
I don't know how you guys can put such an ugly bulky case on something so beautiful. Trust me, I'm all about protection, I've never cracked a phone before (*knock on wood*) but I feel like putting something like this iBlason case or the traditional OtterBox just covers up the true beauty of the phone. I usually go with a Spigen case (good protection, yet not as bulky). This time around I'm going for the Ringke Slim case with a wrist strap.

I understand where you're coming from and I too find the Ringke slim case exceptional in terms of looks and minor protection. But after using it for a whole month, I finally caved in and ordered an Otterbox Defender. I just don't want to be afraid of damaging my phone. Being able to use it with an extra peace of mind is worth sacrificing the appearance in my opinion. After all, you can always take it out of the case and it'll still be the beautiful, slim phone you purchased. But each to their own, I can only speak for myself.

Is Tech Armor for rugged case a good buy?
I have the UAG and the Otterbox Defender for mine. I used a UAG on my Note 2 for 2 years and was completely satisfied and feel that it is a solid case. However, I like the amount of protection the Otterbox Defender gives and I also like the way it adds some bulk to the phone. It seems easier to hold.
That being said, it does not fit well in my pocket and I've actually started using a belt clip (included with the case) for the first time. The belt clip also doubles as a stand for your phone when you are charging it.

Wallet case enabling wireless charging

I've just bought Note 9 from Amazon and wallet case with it - BENTOBEN Ultra Slim Thin Fit Folio Genuine Leather Kickstand Shockproof Credit Card Slots Protective Flip Cases
I also have in my car wireless charger. My problem is, whenever I put my phone in the charger, I have to remove it from the case. So I thought that I need to buy something like wallet case that enable me to use wireless charging. Is that thing even exist? I want wallet case cause I want to keep my credit cards with my phone.
Can you guys help me please?
I've been eyeing this wallet case made by Case-Mate on Amazon. I think I'm going to buy it. They claim it supports wireless charging without removing the phone.
https://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-No...1273302&sr=1-5&keywords=note+9+case+mate&th=1
My coworker has the same case for his Note 8 and said it works fine with his wireless chargers, so I think the Note 9 version should work.
You should have no issues using any wallet case with a wireless charger. The only reason you would have an issue is if the wallet case you have is either too think or is made with metallic elements.

Galaxy S10+ case with Belt Clip holster and Wireless Powershare??

Does anyone know of a case that has a belt clip type holster and can also Wireless Powershare? Im looking for someone that has actually tested it or seen it working with the Galaxy Buds..
I have the Otterbox Defender Pro (that I'll b probably take back) and some people have stated that their Galaxy Buds won't charge when they are using this case.. eventually I'll be getting a Zagg invisibleshield, when the preinstalled protector gets scratched up , so a case that works the shield would be nice to..
Thanks for any replies!
I have the an encased case with spring clip holster. It's very much like the seidio line. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the phone will charge my Galaxy watch in the case (but out of the holster, obviously). I don't have my buds yet to test that for you.
