Case with wireless charging back?

So I got the wireless charging back and now my two spigen cases dont fit, Slim armor and Ultra Hybrid. Does anyone know if there's a case that fits a GS5 with the wireless charging plate?

I'm guessing you missed this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738158

[Q] Any problems with S Charger Cover and SPIGEN Neo Hybrid case?

I'm planning to buy the OEM S Charger Cover and I wanted to know if it increases the width of the phone and if yes, how much?. I ask this because I have a SPIGEN Neo Hybrid case and I want to know if I'll have any problems with it.
Thanks

Read for yourself by clicking HERE and http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ITI24EK/ and looking for the measurements.

I see that it makes thicker and reading some other reviews I found that this case does no fit the Galaxy S5 with the Charging Cover

The wireless charging cover does add thickness to the phone, causing pretty much all S5 cases to not work with it. Here's an entire thread dedicated to the discussion of which cases fit with the wireless charging cover: Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back
In short, the only case that's made specifically for use with the wireless charging cover at this point is this one from Diztronic. There are others that can be forced and/or modified to fit.

I bough this cases

[Q] Smart Dock With UAG Case

Just wondering if anyone knew whether or not I could fit a Note 4 with a UAG case into the Smart Dock.
Thought I would ask before I buy the Smart Dock..
Thanks!

Honestly, I don't think so, the charger connector lays way to deep into the case, I would go to a store to try one first.

I've tried 3 cases so far, and the only one that works with the Smartdock for me was the Ringkey Fusion clear case. I had to cut the port cover off of it since it wouldn't fit with it on there, but other than that it's a great fit.
Every other case I've tried made the plastic too deep around the USB port.

So much for that idea.
Thanks for the replies!

Case for Note Edge with original charging cover

hi,
since i have the samsung charging cover i am looking for a case, that fits.
But the most manufactors offers only cases for the regular note edge - means without the charging cover.
In the past i used "Qi Wireless Receiver pads (3rd Party)" for my Note 3 and i used the seidio surface. The charging works fine, even though there is the case between charging pad and charging station. I like to use the original charging cover, because it gets not so warm then the pads 3rd Party.
I love the cases from seidio and ask for such a case. Her is their answer:
"Hello,

Thank you,
Are there already cases on the market, for the Edge with original charging cover?

I have the UAG Maverick case.
I got it after my Edge cracked after falling with the Edge Wallet OEM Samsung Cover case failed to protect it (I know, its not supposed to), and had my Edge replaced under ADH warranty (best $99 I've ever spent) thanks to AT&T/Asurion.
I am using a white Wireless Cover charger back on a black phone (yes, in the US, got the white one from Korea because it was available and cheaper), and modded one as per the instructions here to fix the OEM Back, which will allow you to use ANY CASE with the OEM back. You simply remove the plastic cover on the OEM Wireless charger, and the plastic front, and follow the directions here, and it will fit your OEM back perfectly, and thusly, into any case. Did that on a friend's edge.
On my Edge, I gave up the Wallet and go the UAG Maverick Case, removed the OEM White back, and installed in into the phone and case because it looked cool. The UAG Maverick holds it against the back of the phone, and it works great, looks great, and is an awesome conversation starter.
So, if you take apart the OEM charging back, you can use whatever case you want with the OEM regular back in place.
Here's my photo of the UAG Maverick 'conversation starter':

Will wireless charging work with a case?

Topic says all. How thick can a case be before it will not work.

I've yet to hear of a case that blocks wireless charging.

not sure about the metal cases but all the tpu and hard plastic cases I've used worked on the wireless charger.

metal cases will block the wireless. if you want woreless charget with case, don't support metal cases

Most of the time (if you're buying a higher quality case) you'll see that they'll include some text saying "Supports wireless charging". Spigen mentioned it on some of the boxes for the cases I ordered.

The Spigen Neo-Hybrid does not work with the Duracell Powermat. Haven't tried it with the official wireless charger.

Maybe it's an issue with the PMA standard as a opposed to Qi. Right now I have the Neo-Hybrid with metal bumpers and using this charger here, it works just fine.

Yeah, that is most likely the issue.

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and it works fine with the Samsung wireless charger

Give this video a watch:

PMA is terrible. The phone gets hot and has a very weak range. Go Qi and almost all cases should work.

I have a s6 and the nexus 5 wireless charger and it never connects with a thin TPU case on... Im a case guy and need a case... however if i remove the case it will charge just fine (havent dont a full charge yet...)
can someone test with cases on etc and see what you get, if it connects... i tested the charger with my wifes n4 with a similar case on and it connects without an issue... as soon as i put on the s6, nothing, just briefly shows the NFC icon and then nothing...

tried it with original clear case. plus i put about 4 credit card together. my phone still charging. so u can figure hows the thickness.

it seems my issue is with the nexus 5 charger, i just used a generic one i got off ebay a while back and it worked great... so selling the nexus 5 charger now lol

im pretty sure the case companies have designed all of their cases so the device can be chargeable with the case on

While it's not wise to assume, I think in this instance, it's pretty safe. But, always read reviews before purchase. Just to be sure.

Wireless charging thru case solved
I am a novice. My wireless charger wouldn't charge my s6 through the thick Otter case, even if I turned it upside down with the face on the charger, So being a novice I fixed the problem the old fashioned way instead of trying to figure out the technical way.
I took the s6 out of the case and drilled a hole thru the case. Put the s6 back in the case and it charges fine now.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Mine works fine (Spigen) with the exception I can't just put the phone down on it and walk away. I have to lay it down horizontal and confirm the light goes on the charger, but yes it does work.

cases with only board may work
