  • The Samsung Galaxy S5 does not, sadly, come with wireless charging out of the box. But for just a few dollars, you can (unofficially) add some Qi charging. But along with that comes a big of a side effect - not the least is that you're probably playing with your warranty with this one. Use at your own risk.

    I use one very similar on my Note 3, it's even thinner than the one just shown. No bulge at all, works flawlessly and have had it for a few months. Love it.

    Wouldn't the bulge interfere with the rubber seals on the back cover to keep it water tight? Extra pressure could pop the seals open where water could get in.. 10 bucks could cost you a new device

      Agree. Use with caution. (Or not at all.)

      I don't see the rubber seal to protect from dropping it in water, being a priority. First if you're phone is submerged in water, the rubber seals aren't going to be much protection for water to get in. Second, maybe an overriding priority is to have contact charging, and this would be a great trade off? Also the rubber seals are at the edge where the back "clamps to the phone" and the charging device is in the middle so maybe the rubber seals are still making contact?

      I got an Samsung charger pad and a qi receiver. Do I need a wireless S cover for it to work as well?

    That's what I did with my Note 3. Works fine.

    I'm having trouble finding the type from the video. All the ones I find plug into the USB plug, which does me no good, considering the USB port on my phone is trashed. I've searched eBay, guess I'll check Amazon now. If anyone wants to steer me in the correct direction, I'd greatly appreciate the assistance. I also greatly appreciate the video. Thank you.

    Yes. That bulge makes water leak inside the phone, regardless that it looks well secured. Its better to buy the official backs

    They also block NFC, the charge coil blocks the NFC antenna built into the battery :(

    I bought one of the extra thin ones. There is a subtle bulge and it's certainly not unsightly. I _think_ the waterproofing seal still connects as it should. I'm not about to test that though! Here's the one I bought from Amazon UK: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JGHMMOA/

    The one from fonesalesman is much better because of its thinness, the good quality and the NFC capability.

    Hi there I have a white fallacy s5 and was wondering where you got that blue back battery cover/door. I looked over at amazon and eBay but I don't know which one is good because I still want to use my phone in water and stuff. Pls help and throw me a link so I can buy a legitimate one ty. :)
