I recently found that Samsung sells the wireless charging back cover for the S4 for $39.99 and charging pad for $49.99 on their site, then found a 50% off coupon code (rv18623). After shipping and tax, I paid about $23 ea for the covers and about $27 ea for the pads! I got one set for me and one for my son. I believe the code is good through June, not sure how long they'll have them in stock. Just go to their site, select the S4, click on accessories, click on show all, and it's towards the bottom. I didn't see the set, and in fact didn't note the pads the other day when I bought the covers, but just ordered them today. One thing to note is that the pad does not come with a charger since it uses the 2A charger that comes with the phone. I'm anxious to see if the pad works with my Seidio surface case, particularly since it has the kickstand. Might have to get the non kickstand cover.

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.
Kind Regards,

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.

They have tons in my local Best Buy
All out of stock again...
I recently got two PMA chargers for the S6 and where I have to wait until Saturday to get mine (on vacation right now) I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the pma charging method and see if the S6 has a magnet to help align the pma charger like other phones that support pma

It does have a very slight magnet, and at first i thought my wrist had gone numb or something. it's not strong either which i like. it's just enough to let you know where to place it to charge. I got this after another XDA user posted this incredible deal.

Interesting, I'm not sure how I wasn't aware of that. I was going to buy the duracell powermat combo, but didn't at the last minute because I only saw Qi when I checked. Not sure how I missed it.

A Qi charger is only $15, plus Qi is the wireless charging standard for all other Android phones. If you get a PMA charger, it most likely won't work with your next phone.

The one we got is $9 and comes with a portable battery pack that can also be charged simultaneously with the S6 charging too. Also I don't care about what the standard is in 2 years because there will most likely be newer wireless charging technologies like Qi 2.0 or something and by then i'll probably get the newer technology. Also the S7 might also have a PMA/Qi combo again.

Do you know the specs on that portable battery pack? my guess is it's smaller than the battery in the S6, and charges incredibly slowly. I'm simply saying that for $5 more you can buy a wireless charger that will work with all newer wireless charging capable phones, instead of one that only works with the S6 or phones with specific cases.
I bought a Qi charger when the G2 came out, and not much has changed over the last 2 years, it still works and charges just as fast as any you can buy today. In fact, I believe they still sell that model.

try $5 LESS >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QHRM4F4
I'll be testing them out and compare, but there's a review of Qi charging pads on the accessories forum, and this one was fairly well rated. They all charge the phone within 2-3min of each other, but when charging over night, that's largely irrelevant to me anyways.
I got two of the duracell powermats last week in black with the extra battery for the iphone 4. I pulled the circuit out of the iphone 4 case and will try to make it work with another phone

Hey so you got it to charge the S6? I ordered the same thing from Amazon but it wouldn't charge. Already sent it back. I tried different positions all over the pad. I will say that my S6 has a very thin Elago case on it, I didn't try without the case because that kind of defeats the purpose of "drop the phone on the pad and walk away".

Yes it charges a Verus and Rickle something (sorry can't remember) case. They are clear ones that have a back. I have a wallet case that holds three cards but it doesn't charge with that case
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)
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."

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.
