Case(s) that fit the Samsung Note 4 with Wireless Charging Back cover? - Galaxy Note 4 Accessories

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cel...EP-CN910IBUSTA
Does anyone who know or own the Samsung Note 4 with the Wireless Charging Back Cover (see link above) know which cases (especially wallet/folio style cases) fill fit with the phone and this wireless back cover as I understand it fits abit thicker then the stock cover?
Thanks

I was faced with the problem as you. I ordered the official Samsung wireless charging back, but it would not fit in my Seidio case. I returned the Samsung back and ordered a bare charging coil that will fit under the standard back. No problem with charging or any other functions and it fits in my Seidio case.

WHich charging coil do you recommend? WOuld it charge at the same rate as the Samsung version? Will I also loose NFC functionality if I did it this way?

This is the one that I'm using:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R3WK2LU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Not sure about the charging rate compared to Samsung. It is Qi standard so I would guess there is little difference. It claims 600mA. It is NOT a quick charge, more like an overnight charge. I have not tested the NFC part but the answered questions say that it is OK.

I have the same problem with my spigen case, now I got a hold of the s charger back. I'm really torn now, as I love the little stand the spigen comes with, but the official samsung back on the s charger pad wide seems to charge in double quick time.
I see the suggested workarounds and might consider them, but still nobody knows of an actual case which fits the note 4 with the wireless back?

There is a huge thread in this subforum with a dozen of pages referencing cases that fit the charging back (yes they exist) and various workarounds. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...se-note-4-samsung-qi-charging-t2958395/page13

I just moved the coil from the Samsung charging back into the regular back, and it's no thicker than it was without the coil, and so any case could continue to fit - whether it will charge through the case is another matter.

any with a 2-3w charge output? 600a would take forever.

Moving the coil to the stock back is really the only way to go. It charges fine and the NFC works.
I went for month trying cases that fit that bulge and even the ones that "fit" threatened to pop off at any moment.
Here is a guide to moving the coil:

SGP Neo Hybrid + Official Wireless Charging Back (Picture Heavy)

So as promised, I've received my official charging back and pad and have paired it up with my Neo Hybrid. It fits but there is a bulge as expected. Not sure if this is something I can live with (I'll let you know if a couple of days!)
The charger works well, the charging pad is nice and light and does the job well.
The charging back adds a bit of extra weight to the phone. The neo hybrid already adds a lot of weight and bulk, so in conjuction with the wireless back, it makes the phone feel quite heavy, but not uncomfortably heavy. Whilst charging, it does not get hot. I don't know what it does at 100% like the cheap chinese chargers, I'll get back to you on this one soon...
I also bought one of those cheap Chinese wireless adaptors, and it works well with the Sammy charging pad.
Thanks for the pictures! Does the Chinese only adapter work well with the default back or are there connection issues with it? Does it also charge well? I would prefer the Samsung back, but also don't like additional weight.

Hi
It's not as accurate as the Samsung one. You have to position it perfectly.
If Samsung was 10/10 for accuracy, I'd give the Chinese one 7.5/10, seems to charge fine
assuming you are using the original charging cover, so what does it do after it's fully charged at 100%? does it charge again after it drops to 99%? this is one of the problems with 3rd party receivers and charge pads, it would wake the phone up again and charge over the night-which would be really annoying.

went to 100% no issues, didnt behave any different to a plug in charger. so the issue looks to be with the non original pads/receivers

Can you describe the bulge? Is it even or just in an area? I know the charging recievers from china give a slight bulge in the middle but I assume with the s charger it's just a bulge in general?

yeah general equal bulge from the middle, and a sharp tapering off on the edges. makes it a but uncomfortable to hold. Needless to say, I'm looking for a new case now.

I understand that the OEM wireless cover is not really meant for the Spigen Neo Hybrid so that there will definitely be a bulge. My question is on a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being horrendous, and 10 being a perfect fit similar to the regular back cover), how would you rate the bulge with the OEM wireless cover and the Neo Hybrid? Assuming it is at least a 6, I am definitely looking to do this set up with either my Neo Hybrid or my Slim Armor.

Wireless charging to fit all cases

I have just received my genuine wireless charging cover and stripped it apart. The thing to do is remove the long pins that are soldered on the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and build solder blobs not to high and stick it back in the phone put the standard rear cover on then any case will fit & you have wireless charging with virtually no bump. I have included pictures but unfortunately cannot take photo's of the phone as I have no other camera.
Done this with my Note 3 and had zero problems!

It seems like a lot of work and a waste of money to buy the expensive Samsung wireless charging back just to tear it apart.
I just bought this when they had it for $5.99 and it works fine with the regular back cover.

I see that it is covering a portion of NFC on the battery, does NFC still work for you?
Also, if not, wouldnt we just be able to cut the film strip in the center and just use a very small wire of some sort to extend it but to keep NFC functionality?

NFC works without a case on the phone. It doesn't work through my Spigen Slim Armor though. Maybe thinner cases NFC will still work fine.
Keeping original charging cover ensures correct charging. Safety features of the chip on board original wireless charging cover have temp sensors also, as opposed to non origional covers. Nfc is built in to original cover and retained in this mod.

Case Compatable with Samsung Qi Charging Back?

I ordered the Samsung back with the built in Qi charger. Before the vendor let me order it, they emailed me the following:
Please note that using this back cover will slightly change the dimension/ size of the phone and any case you may have on your Note 4 will no longer fit the device. Unfortunately, we do not have cases that are compatible with this battery charging back.

You might be able to stretch some TPU cases and force them on, but at this time there aren't any cases made to specifically fit with the OEM wireless charging back.
It took several months for the Galaxy S5 to get any cases specifically made for the wireless charging back, so I'm not anticipating one for the Note 4 in the near future. I'd love to see a manufacturer step up though. Diztronic did with the S5, but they have yet to even release a standard case for the Note 4.

My friends have similar receiver stickers in their Samsung phones (Note 3, 2x S5s) and the sticker interferes with NFC, they were unable to use Android Beam or Softcard/Google Wallet until they removed the sticker (those features worked intermittently).
For this reason, I'll personally wait until a case that fits the official Samsung wireless charging cover comes out.

Amazon now has this sticker in stock with Prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had it shipped overnight ($3.99 with Prime) and got it this morning. Here's what I found:
1. It's not 0.6mm, but 1.5mm thick (I measured it with a caliper). It bulges the battery cover in an ugly way. My Spigen case does not fit properly anymore.
2. It charges much more slowly than the official Samsung wireless charging back, which I also have (tested with a Tylt Vu desktop charger).
3. It makes battery swapping impossible as it has to be attached to the battery.
4. No "NFC support." Even though it has five pins, only two of them (second from top and the upper single one) are actually connected to the circuit, I checked with a multimeter. There is only a single coil/antenna, so there is definitely no "NFC support" of any kind, unlike the official Samsung cover which actually has two coils/antennas - one for charging and a second for NFC, since the original NFC antenna in the battery is blocked by the Qi antenna.
Sending it back, it's crap.

I just received the OEM Samsung Qi back and indeed none of the case I tried seem to fit correctly just as I was forewarned. The Samsung OEM cover will fit, but the buttons are a bit off so it is too annoying to use. I'll just have to keep my eye out for a Qi compatible cover.

I think the relative positions of the receiver and the coil have something to do with heat issues. I also have a sticker from China. I noticed that charging the phone on Tylt Vu keeps the battery hot all night (this can't be good for longevity). But, if I set the phone upside down, it only heats up during actual charging. Itian charger also stops heating after the phone reaches 100.

[Q] Q- Case that fits over QI Charging back

I have the Samsung OEM Wireless Charging back on my Note 4 and the issue I am running into is finding a protective case that fits with the added thickness. I tried a QI charge tab just added inside the standard back, which was ok, but the charge receiver died pretty quickly.
Anyone have any experience finding a case that works with this configuration?
Thanks!
Peter
I'm in the same boat as you Peter. I have an Otterbox and another at home that don't fit. I've also talked to Otterbox and they said they have no plans to make one that would fit with the charging cover.
Hopefully, someone can find one soon that fits properly. I hate having my phone naked!

Best wireless (Qi) back for N910?

There don't seem to be any OEM Qi backs left., which is what I wanted. I got an aftermarket one, which is as thin as the stock non-wireless back, but that 1) doesn't fit all that well; there's always a gap at one corner or other, depending on which end I start with when putting it on, and 2) is at least moderately durable.
The one I have is starting to split, 3 months in. It charges fine (800mA at 5VDC, which is better than my Note 3 with OEM charging back)
So... if you are using a wireless charging back, which one are you using, and how do you like it?
BTW, I've been using a number of these wireless charging docks ($10 on amazon) and they're great if you want a spot you can just plonk your phone down and have it charging.
Hello, I'm using this on my phone and it fits and works perfectly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DB899XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is the back I purchased.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DB89ACG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use it with this charger. I read a lot of reviews that the wireless charging is very slow and someone even said it was more like a toy... For me, the wireless charger easily charges my phone as fast as a 1 amp charger. You do have to have a minimum of a 1 amp wall adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...90870&sr=1-11&keywords=wireless++fast+charger
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I use a rubberized case with my phone, so it is rather thick and have no issues using the charger with it.
I think the charger and back that bishop mentioned are fine. I used similar, but I actually stripped the charging circuit out of the back, removed the black plastic cover and put it into a standard (genuine) Samsung back, which I know fits perfectly. In fact, I bought 2 of these backs and stripped out the charging circuit in both. I put one in a standard back and another in a Samsung S-View cover because the Charging S-View cover from Samsung is no longer available. Now I have the choice of either S-View charging or standard back. charging for when I use the VR headset. BTW, looking at the circuit for the backs I used, it looks like NFC is in there as well.
I bought two different Qi receivers (and used the original back), and I regret it. The first one died after a month or two, and the second one heated up the phone while charging and ruined the battery.
So I broke down and bought Samsung's wireless charging back, and it has been working perfectly.
where i can find original oem samsung back QI ?

I also use this back, (sold under the h-ber brand name on amazon) and it works fine. Of course the back does fit a little tight, and sometimes, you have to put it on the bottom (near USB port) first, or the clips don't clip.
I have phone in a incipio case which is two layer TPU and polycarbonate and pretty thick, but it charges fine.

I have used a samsung fast charging qi dock, and a pleson fast charging dock, which both work fine, but will only charge at normal qi speeds due to lack of qi fast charge support on the note 4.
I get the original one for $60 in my country

I think the charger and back that bishop mentioned are fine. I used similar, but I actually stripped the charging circuit out of the back, removed the black plastic cover and put it into a standard (genuine) Samsung back, which I know fits perfectly. In fact, I bought 2 of these backs and stripped out the charging circuit in both. I put one in a standard back and another in a Samsung S-View cover because the Charging S-View cover from Samsung is no longer available. Now I have the choice of either S-View charging or standard back. charging for when I use the VR headset. BTW, looking at the circuit for the backs I used, it looks like NFC is in there as well.

What are you doing to hold those stripped pieces in place? Is it just packed so tight that you don't need anything or did you attach it somehow?

I just put the circuit panel onto the phone in the right position and then glue on the cover and then fitted the cover without moving the circuit panel. Press down well and the charging receiver is now glued to the case and in the correct position.

Thx a bunch for your prompt response. Sorry, what kinda glue is this? I know it gets hot back there and I've never been this best at choosing proper adhesive materials. I'm specifically using this setup for a contraption I found for the gear. I purchased a built in back but don't trust it's quality. Here is the gear contraption. It will be my 4th fan setup but this time, wifi charging is a possibility:

I used double sided tape when I did mine - not quite as permanent as glue, just in case it moved before the glue set.
