I want to buy a protective case but I would much rather buy a protective case that also has wireless charging built in that utilizes the 2x accessory power pins. Anyone working on building such a case for PH-1?

I own one of these cases for my N4 Rugged Hard Case
Without the holster it adds like 4-5mm to the back of the N4. Unfortunately i also discovered that there are two small metal rods in the middle of the back that are part of the kickstand. So very doubtful if wireless charging works with this case. Is probably someone here who can report from own experience with such a case and wireless charging? Any help appreciated.
I am not having luck finding a protective case that will fit the 1020 with the wireless cover on the phone. If anyone finds a TPU type case, please post a link.
Those cases cover the video stereo microphone

Im looking for a case too that fits wireless shell.
hate to add another "we are looking as well" post but we are.
wife bought a silicone cover (hasnt arrived yet) i thought if it didnt quite fit we could use a hair dryer to make it more pliable to get it over top. Id prefer a hard case for mine ive used otterboxes on all my phones for years but im rather excited about the wireless charging hate the fact it looks like i get one or the other.

just do this lads
Interesting thing about Wireless charging in 1020, is fact that grossly overpriced wireless charging back hauses ONLY induction coil and connector, nothing else. That is why i thibk it is waaay overpriced than it should be. (universal wireless charging coil from china, that has buil in conversion circuit, costs about $6). I've got one of these, and taped it to the inside of my nilkin case (connector was a big problem) and it works. If you do not want to mess with connector fabrication, you can use original wireless charging back. Juzt sumply warm it up with hairdryer, and peel off the adhesive with coil. Then apply it to your case of choice, and voila, wireless charging with your favourite case.
1020 supports wireless charging ?
Not out of the box, but with the right case yes.

Can you advise on the connector and which pin is + and -?
Id be keen to try and make my own case if its a generic coil
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

This fit very well on my S5+ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITI24NG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And Im wait for this case

Thanks for your help, it was very clear information :good:
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.

I ordered a s-view flip cover, I've also wanted to start using wireless charging.
can the s-view flip cover and qi wireless receiver work in one phone.? I see the s-view flip has its own back cover with chip in it. Would this effect the wireless charging if i install third party qi receiver?
anyone recommend me a good combo kit for wireless charging... (receiver+pad) i.e no heat, faster charging..?
also is there extended battery (same size as stock battery) that fits phone .(3000/3200mah) i can't seem to find any.
any help will be much appreciated.
also can the non-oem batteries be charged wirelessly.?

Return the flip cover and get the s-view cover that already has the built in QI receiver. That way everything will work perfectly and you'll retain your ip67 rating.

well, this is the one i want, i do not want to buy the s-view flip cover with built in charging, also its more expensive.. what qi receiver will work with such a cover.?

Ah I see. As long as you're not concerned with losing the ip67 rating of the device, any QI receiver for the S5 should fit under that cover. I'm using a cheapo receiver from ebay with no issues and it even works through my Otterbox wallet case which is pretty thick. Mine was less than 8 dollars.
