Help on case for S5 with wireless charging backplate

I got myself a Samsung wireless charger for my S5, making the phone slightly thicker. And this rendered all my existing cases useless.
Could anyone here recommend me a good case for my phone. Even a bumper case would help.

[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

Anyone using wireless charging with a case?

Just wondering if anyone has the wireless charging back and is using it with a case? I just wanted to know if cases still fit with the wireless charging back cover because I heard the cover makes the phone fatter. Also does the wireless charging work with a case on?
I'm currently using the Spiegen Neo Hybrid and considering getting the wireless charging back and plate so I don't have to open the stupid flap that's prone to break.

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

official Cases that charge with wireless charger.

Ok we need a list of case that we can and cannot charge while using a wireless charger. Please include brand, model number and link if possible. Wireless charges, brand, model number and link if possible. Thanks. I will put all cases and wireless chargers in one post for a fast and easy look up, if mods allow.

Wireless charger - lugulake - sorry no model or link it was a cheap one for about 7$ on amazon.
It will not charge on this and many others looking at Amazon reviews. But it is a great case.

Reserved if need be

I use this one - Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Case, Spigen [CARBON FIBER] Neo Hybrid Carbon Case
Works with Samsung Wireless Charging Pad, Choetech Circle QI Charger and MobilePal QI Power Bank - 10000 mAh.
It's protective (I've dropped my phone on hard concrete once from waist height) and looks good too!

Slim Armor Case
Spigen [AIR CUSHION] Slim Armor Case for Galaxy S6 Edge+ Champagne Gold working great with samsung wireless charger !!!! http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Edge-Spigen-CUSHION-Armor/dp/B010MWH1UW

Just got the Choetech quick charge wireless charger. It works great with my Spigen Thinnest case liquid crystal, available on ebay for $12. It's a really nice case that doesn't mask the phone or make it bulky while still providing protection.

Ok got my choetech circle wireless charger this weekend. The one with its ownthread here. It also will not charge my phone with my i-blason case. The only way I could get it to charge with the case on is to pop off the built in kick stand then it will charge with the case on. I also have the casemate naked tough case http://www.t-mobile.com/accessories...ge-plus-case-mate-naked-tough-case-clear.html the choetech wireless charger has no problems at all charging with this case on.

All these covers worked with wireless charging on 2 different wireless chargers and non of them was Samsung:

My favorite is the first one in terms of look, feel and no finger print left, but I wish it was thinner..

Official Samsung S-View case is working fine with wireless charger.

Every official case I own (Crystal, Crystal View, S-View) and Spigen Liquid, Rock ultra thin TPU are working wine in Fast Charge mode.
