Powermat and That Zens thing are two different induction types. Zens is Qi while Duracell Powermat is on Samsung's Induction formats.

Plus you can get Powermat chargers all day long on Amazon for under $5 and that Zens is $80.

Funny how Zens website fails to show or give specs on the cover and size.

PowerMat's has more of a Future since they have Public chargers already available while Qi only has public chargers in Japan with no word on when it will be in the US
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
You are correct...... And touchstone is yet another format. Sure you can get a cheap powermat mat by watching ebay/amazon. Wasnt this stuff pulled off the shelves for a reason?

Also, the case and mat together are $70. So yes, the powermat mat/case bundle is $7.95 cheaper than the zens bundle. But if you just need the case, the zens case is $7.04 cheaper.

Anyway, its ugly. See the following link of an actual user in youre other powermat thread. He says to avoid.

Just got my Powermat case. It's no thicker than any of the other shell cases. The border is made of a soft but dry rubber. It covers the buttons, and for someone who used a car without those covers it doesn't feel like you are hitting the buttons. As for hard to get on phone? It takes a little more than your usual snap but not bad.

All in all this case with the 6 dollar single pads with droid x case combo will work nicely to have on home and office.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
What was pulled off the Shelf? These Powermats I'm speaking of are older models and Since P&G/Duracell bought Powermat they have relabeled the product and are part of the A4WP group which Samsung and Qualcomm Developed and now they have their standard and Duracell Teamed up with Major Names and are the Group,

Power Matters which have much more abilities with Induction and Are suppoerted by Public charging Locations like Delta Airlines, Jay Z club, Madison Square Gardens etc etc and General Motors has Powermat design Vehicle chargers for their 2013 models.

These older powermat chargers will work with the Qi and the new Chargers by Samsungs Induction Standard..

Amazon can get charger with a case to tear down for under $5 and then if you buy PM's Cover at under $28, which can be found, that's less then $35....

Zens, won't work in GMs or other cars, won't work at Starbucks, etc etc...

(AT&T, Google, Starbucks Back ‘PMA’ Wireless Power Ecosystem and Open Standard Global Leaders Join Board of the Power Matters Alliance)....

powermatters.org..............Duracellpowermat.com

So if either are a risk, which is lower risk in cost and lower risk and being a Loner???

Bestbuy has the Duracell Powermat new line of products, they prob didn't know that the label change was coming (well the useless Employee) didn't know that...lol

This is honestly ugly as heck. Sure if you are here you don't care about that but it's my opinion. Also it may not matter because if I were to get this I would carry it around in my book bag (I always have a book bag on) and whenever I need it just snap off my current case and put the powermat on.

This would be great for me if the guys at work would chip in for the powermat. I'm a doorman and in my building there is always an employee worming at all times. We could have the powermat on our desks and use it whenever we have to.

And anyone who has done this for work knows that 90% of the time you kill, is on your phone lol.

I will wait for some reviews.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
It's not made to take off and on, it replaces the current Battery Cover and the good thing about this choice is a cheap Temporary until Samsung has eventually released their

Cover and you wouldn't be taking a chance by messing up the contacts inside the battery cover which are very easy to break off.

Plus Samsung's cover will def not have problems with NFC not working as it does with all other covers and/or mods done. Zens' doesn't mention one word about not interfering with the NFC.

That's why Verizon Galaxy S3 phones are the only models that have two sets of contacts, one for charging and other for NFC antenna ext because Qi doesn't work with the current NFC antenna..

Anybody that is using the Verizon back cover on Non-Verizon Phones, will say that NFC Doesn't work with any charging pad . (This doesn't Apply to Verizon Phones with the Verizon Charging Cover, Verizon had Samsung Design this Exclusively for them)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeron16:
Just to clarify, I can't comment on Zens implementation as I not using it but the 3rd party Qi receiver pad I am using does work with NFC, so there is no basis for claiming that Qi doesn't work with NFC.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Ah thanks for clearing that up. I guess I'll wait o menos Samsung...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
If you have a Verizon Phone and the Original Verizon Charging cover then there shouldn't be a problem with NFC because that Charging cover has the NFC antenna that contacts the extra set of contacts in the Battery compartment.

It's pretty much explains itself by Verizon being only phones with those extra contacts and Verizon Requesting to Samsung that their phones be built to work with their existing Chargers. Their are Videos on the Covers and stating that if used with other Phones besides Verizon, the NFC doesn't work.

So I take it you Have Verizon and you shouldn't have any problems with any Qi charger, That is the way that Verizon had it Planned.

This is from the Mods on here that are for sale on Ebay:

i9300 back cover with wireless charge function.

Touch stone charge dock

Micro USB cable for touch stone

USB power adapter

Please read before buy.

This custom back cover will block NFC signal and cause NFC function defective.

Touchstone charge dock angle design for Palm-Pre, using on Samsung phone may not best fit, buyers can put something behind the touchstone to change the angle.

After install the module and cover, the phone may have mini gap and thicker.

Custom back cover same as original, with wireless charge function after cover install, no modify need.

New shorter pins version the cover can close perfectly.

Working with touchstone charger only.

OEM back cover not genuine Samsung.

Review of the Case and Powermat

Ok, Ill play this game...

I wanted to get rid of wall warts with our two phones, 2 tablets, Portable speaker, Nintendo DS, iPod etc... I bought this:

Powermat home/office from amazon. Sadly, the 1A output does not work on the galaxy tab 10.1 or the HP touchpad.

plus another pair of the universal pucks. cost me $45 total delivered. the kit in the link came with 8 or 9 tips.

I looked at the back from Verizon for my AT&T phone but it was noticeably thicker than standard and my spiegen cover would not fit over it, plus it ONLY works with QI which is NOT part of this powermat. I even took my mat into the verizon store to test and it didnt work. UGH. well, i knew Duracell was working on the case so I stuck with it.

Ordered my case yesterday Directly from the Duracell-Powermat webiste and it arrived today! yay for being close to Memphis.

to put the case on, line up the USB plug to the phone and insert it, once in, tilt phone back into the case and slide rubber molding around the top. to remove, hole the top corner edge with your fingers and push on the flash area with your thumb.

First impressions, I like it. it fits really good. id say 1/8th of an inch thicker. Really not bad at all. the case has a very good feel to it and the buttons work well underneath it. the Pass thru USB works perfectly and YES it does read my TecTiles. that said they pickup best when placed between the Powermat Logo and the camera Lens. but they work every time.

I have not gotten home yet to see how the charging works, but it is backwards compatible with all powermat products. so you dont need the new white ones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
Cool, you must have misread. It says that a Verizon Charger Back Cover Used on a Non-Verizon Phone will Block NFC and as you stated above, you have a Non-Verizon Charger Cover, So you have nothing to worry about. Not sure which area you are having Trouble with.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pithism:
so im confused, does this power mat case work with NFC tags etc?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
Yes The Powermat Case was Designed to Allow NFC to Work. Duracell Powermat is Part of Samsung's Wireless Power Group and worked together to on their Standard to be compatible. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pithism:
o wow thats cool good to know. ill defiantly give this a shot then. I love NFC and dont know if i could live without it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
Yeah isn't NFC the Coolest thing to play around with and come up with ways to use it, Like controlling car alarms/locks and home locks etc...I think so far the coolest feature ever added to cell phones.....:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
NFC works on Qi and Touchstone charging technology as well. not to mention the Qi receiver fits right under the battery door with no issue. (i'm using it right now).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
Who makes a Qi cover for Galaxy S3 phones excluding the Verizon phones which are designed Different with a extra/Different NFC antenna under the battery to receive the signal that is blocked by receiver coils in other phones.????

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

NFC has the Antenna in the Battery and the Battery can not be covered with a circuit board or copper wires. This is the reason the Verizon phones are designed like they are in the battery compartment, because Verizon wanted their phones to be Qi compatible while Samsung had other plans for Wireless charging.

This is obvious in the design and No other reason for Verizon's phones to be Different.

here is a Link to the Nexus, which is Qi compatible, Teardown and see all those contacts, one set to POWER the NFC Antenna.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for your interest in Duracell products!

.The time it takes Duracell Powermat to charge a phone is equivalent to the time it takes the charger that came with the phone, if not faster. Another benefit of the Powermat is that it can be used anywhere in the world.

There are no Powermat or Duracell Powermat products that are Qi compatible or interchangeable with other charging systems.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for writing!

Ryan
