Has anyone picked this dock up or know anywhere they are sold in stores? So far I have been unable to find anything to answer whether my phone would fit into this dock using the Speck Candyshell case.
I e-mailed Kidigi, but they never responded to my e-mail.

Not sure if this helps at all, but I have the car dock and I would assume the car and desktop dock would have the same case-size tolerance. The car dock can definitely accomodate a case that is at least 1.5x as thick as a Case-Mate Barely There.
thanks stnguyen09
Of course I finally post about this dock and htcpedia finally adds the candyshell to site and it now pops up as a compatible case for the dock *orders!*
I have one. I'm pretty sure it will fit. I have the Nillkin and the Platinum cases from Bestbuy and they both fit.

Just got it today. While the phone fits, it is a little too tight. The phone looks like it is at an angle when installed into dock, but still makes connection with the micro-usb

Found Kidigi under a different name
If you search Amazon for RND Power Solutions Deluxe Charger and Data Sync Cradle , you can get the Kidigi cradle for $19.99. I bought one a week ago and the the instruction manual is from Kidigi. The only difference is no logo on the front.
I have a question..Can I just connect my dock to my desktop and charge overnight and have the ability to synch, all in one? Or do I need to use both cables separately to charge and/or synch?

It doesn't activate any docking features and the display stays in portrait.
It's just like plugging in a regular charger.

It was $59.99 They weren't going to sell them til tomorrow launch but I argued because the website said they were in stock today at my local sore. Which is why I drive out there.
Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?
There is another thread open that shows the two back covers. The s-view cover is a hair thicker.

The S-View Cover Linked in the OP is not the Samsung S-View Cover. I believe all conversation about buying one from best buy and such is about the Official S-View Cover. Just a heads up for anyone who didn't click the link.
YAH the reason i bought the one from amazon is because it comes with a kickstand.

I received my tridea s view case from Amazon, and it fits the phone perfectly. However, I'm not thrilled with the case. Here's my take:
The good: the s view feature works great, better than anticipated, and the case does a nice job of standing the phone up horizontally. The case is thin, and doesn't add much bulk at all. I like the color (I got the blue case).
The bad: the case feels cheap, almost like cardboard. I suppose this might be partly to make it thin, but I don't like the feel of it. Also, there is no protection whatsoever for the corners of the phone. I had hoped that the part that holds the phone in would come around the corners, but it doesn't. What is a case for, other than to protect the phone from drops and scratches? This case provides poor protection. Also, the cover doesn't stay closed, it just flaps around.
I'll keep using this case until someone comes up with a better s view option. I'm sure there will be more knock-offs as time goes on.

I just received my tridea s view case from Amazon today and yah the only flaw in my opinion is the corners, i like i just thought it would have more protection for corners but its fits nicely and the black looks nice. Plus i love the kickstand thats a major plus for me.

You can get it for $40 on Amazon now.
Would you recommend this case? I like it from the pictures but is it really low quality? How about plastic cover? Is it soft plastic or could damage metal sides? Thanks...
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.

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.

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

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.

Guys,
Here is the quick review of the Samsung Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging Case and the Fake China S-View Case and some other cases ( Wallets and TPU)
Question?
Just wanted to put my opinion in also mate. Gotta say this is the worst case I have owned on any phone. I bought this case as I wanted to try the flip case. Firstly only get this case if you NEED a flip case. It covers the LED so only way to know if you have notifications is to turn the phone on. The edges of this case a hard and narrow, therefore holding the phone for periods becomes very uncomfortable. It also will not protect the phone if dropped, the front flip becomes slightly flexible so you will damage the corners of the phone if you drop it. Also the screen gets incredibly smudged by fingerprints unlike the actual screen. Very hard to keep clean as it has two sides to it.
Hate flip cases anyways

Yeah, The looks. I actually bought another S view (Gold color) without wireless charging
Verizonwireless.com has the charging case for $39.99 and the standard S-view for $19.99! Damn good prices considering the retail prices of these cases. Just ordered the charcoal one that has built-in charging. And no, you do not have to have an account to order. :good:

Thanks for the review.
I have a fake chinese flip S-view cover for my Galaxy S4, and for the price it was simply great. the S-view worked fine, and quality was really decent.
One I'm considering buying a similar one for my new Note 4, and I think that the original OEM cases (both wireless and non-wireless ones) are simple overpriced!
I made some searches, and noticed that there are no fake chinese ones with the IC chip which enables the native S-view windows. They all have those custom badly functioning apps you have to download from chinese websites, just like you mentioned in the video.
Is there any fake flip case with a working native S-view cover??
Thanks!!
I grabbed one from Verizon for $19.99 (as mentioned above). I found the price acceptable, but wouldn't pay the full price for it. It's a nice case, but the window smudges are annoying (as others have mentioned).

$20 is not that bad for a real S view case from Verizon. I don't think any fake one works same as real Sview because of the small magnet/chip insert cost more.
