Taste is subjective. Uag is a great case as well but the fit is not great unless you take a dremel to the inside. I've heard a lot of comments about people not liking the uag as well but I like it. I paid $30 for the exo and no local stores carry the uag so the cost for me shipped to Canada is about $35.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] windstrings:
The UAG does fit without modification but it's a tight fit... Shaving off a few thousands of the black rubber inside makes it a perfect marriage without a struggle.

The back rubber is actually a few thousands higher than the surrounding plastic or polymer the case is made of.

For those who don't want to mod , it's not a deal breaker.

I tried with my neo hybrid. it "fits" but its so tight that I fear the screen cracking under the pressure pulling on the outer bezel... I have all but given up hope on getting the official charger to work with a case of any decent quality.

I think it would be cool if a back cover was available (or even just the stock one) that "passed through" the wireless charging connections so you could just get a case with wireless charging instead... it would have eliminated the heat issue some are having, opened up a greater market for case manufactures and made adoption of wireless charging on the S4 actually enjoyable (instead of a pain in the rear).

I know I would drop the cash in a heartbeat for a nice tech21 impact-snap flipcover if the wireless charging was built right into it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] brizey:
There must be some variation in the size of the frame for the neo hybrid. Mine is not that much harder to put on. It's a little harder, but it no where near enough force is needed that I fear for my screen. I worry more that the case frame will break.

By the way...I had a drop today and the neo came through with flying colors. My patio is that pebble covered concrete stuff. Dropped out of my pocket while seated in a Adirondack chair. Just a tiny nick in the frame. I had already ordered another color frame now that they are available, but really, it's pretty much unnoticeable.

Edit: Update 7/10/2013: I got a different colored frame recently and it fits even looser than my original one. BUT...that means there is some variation in the frames that may impact how easy it is to snap on over the larger back.

I am going to do this mod, hope it comes out well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Let me know how it goes! Just take it down to the level of the plastic if you go a little farther it won't hurt anything you will finally hit the plastic behind it before you will never think about coming out the other side. Just be careful on the edges as a wire brush can eat up things pretty fast if not careful. I do think its a good ideal to take some of the floor down next to the edges, this will give the edges that much more room to wrap around the phone . I'm extremely pleased with mine.

I have everything I wanted, the charger turns off when the phone is charged it does not get hot NFC works great and I have a great looking phone!

I can confirm that with a little plying and very very minor stretching, the Belkin smoke TPU case fits perfectly - even the buttons are well aligned.

I can confirm that the Cruzerlite Androidify Case DOES work with the wireless charging back. I got it in purple and while you may have to use your nails to coax it on once its on its perfect.

Speck SmartFlex Card does NOT fit with the OEM charging cover, but will charge through the case with three credit cards (as long as none are American Express).

Anyone know of a open "wallet" case (such as the Speck) that will work without killing NFC/charging? Even one card would be better than none.

I can confirm that the Diztronic fits perfect with the wireless charging back, probably best I have tested yet.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BV96VDY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The only other one that fits as well that I have tried is the TUDIA

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C6LJXT0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have tried the cruzerlites and they are horrible, also tested two that were near duplicates, the first, amCase barely fit but was usable. The geartronic that looks identical didn't even come close to fitting.

I just received my Samsung charging cover and discovered my existing TPU case was able to fit. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. The good news is, at $2 each, it's by far the cheapest one mentioned in this thread so far. I figure unless the case is designed to be used with the charging cover, there's no point in spending a lot.

I'm new and am not allowed to post links yet so you'll have to add some dots to this one:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ImprezaRose:
Okay so I have the Cruzerlite Androidify case for my S4....well...because it's the only one that will fit with the stupid wireless back. I'm really upset that Samsung didn't even come out with case options when they new they were going to release the wireless charging back. And WHY are there ZERO companies making a case to fit the wireless charging back? I don't want to give up my wireless charging but i'd also like the choice of more than one case. I mean this case is okay but it's light duty. I LOVE the incipio Dualpro cases (used to be called sylicrilic) but they just don't fit with the wireless charging back. it's so LAME!!!

I"m tempted to try one of the UAG cases just to get some variety in my life. i'm sure my husband can dremel out some rubber. I just hate that companies don't think of their customers. lots of people want wireless charging but they don't want to give up their awesome personalized cases to do it!

I could have gotten an aftermarket wireless charging kit but I didn't like that it buldged the back of the phone out. now i'm thinking I should have just gone with it so that I could have gotten my favorite case. Hopefully future Samsung Phones (i.e. the S5) will just come stock with the wireless charging built in and all cases will fit. I could care less if making it a stock feature raises the price of the base phone. just give me good technology while still letting me have some personality!

I want my cake and to eat it too!!!

/end rant.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Fyi, my uag still works great but I am starting to see hairline cracks in the back.

I keep my phone in my pocket, screen towards my leg.

I don't know if normal pressure inside pants are doing it or the occasional act of taking the phone out of the case... Seems a slightly softer more flexible rubber would have helped.

Dremmeling out the rubber "a few thousands" never made it to the hard exterior plastic "that's cracking" so I can't imagine there would be loss of support from removal of the soft rubber on the inside.

Maybe the tighter fit is putting stress on the case?

Regardless I like the case, if it ever falls apart I expect I'll get another.

Wish the Spigen Slim Armor case fit...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bobby2478:
What about the new Slim Armor View case from Spigen? Has anyone tried this case with the OEM Samsung wireless charging rear cover, and can you say whether or not the Slim Armor View case fits with it? I'm assuming no since the original Slim Armor didn't, but would still like confirmation if anyone has actually tried it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gnik luap:
My rooCase bumper just arrived, it fit's pretty well with the Samsung wireless charging back. It covers the silver trim completely, there is a distinct rim in front so the phone can be laid on it's face with out scratching the screen, volume rockers seem normal, and the power button is only slightly more difficult to press. The only (slight issue) is the back is only recessed about the thickness of a sheet of paper.

I guess I'll need a back cover. Best Skins Ever makes a great one for the Nexus 4, I hope I can order just a back for the S4. Maybe I should look for a decorative skin to cover up the Verizon logo on the back of my T-mobile phone (T-mobile stores never have accessories I want).

EDIT:

After about a week of use the flexible rubber on the front started to separate from the hard plastic of the actual rim, possibly from the friction of going into my pocket.

TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody Series TPU

I ordered the "TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody Series TPU Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500" from Amazon for $4.99 on others reviews here and it fits 99 % perfect and the buttons all work easy.

The.5% that isn't perfect is the USB charger cord with the larger covering that I purchased off Amazon fits good but the rubber very very slightly pushes up when plugged in.

The Samsung USB cord that comes with the phone works perfect.

The other .5% is the top and bottom edge just barely comes over the edge but it is over so I'm happy.

Almost unnoticeable if I wasn't looking for it.

The cover itself is kind of stylish with flat black on the back with some indentions for looks, the sides are shiny except for the buttons are flat black.

Almost forgot, Its charges perfectly also on the Samsung pad.

If people want to see what the neo-hybrid looks with the OEM wireless charging cover,

boredatwork.com has done a video showing so, there's a little bulge and it might not be bothersome.

and since i can't post links yet- watch?v=fIfMNmQdFQ8

edit: I've actually just received my Spigen Neo Hybrid (Infinity White). It's quite a good fit. There is a bulge, but you really don't notice it, especially if you're used to the heft/bulge that the back cover already does. It looks nice, you may have to stretch the TPU a bit, but the bumper fits pretty well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
That's exactly what I want to know.

The Seidio Active is a case which is made for the Seidio extended battery and is intended to be used with the standard S4 (not the Galaxy S4 Active -- "Active" is just Seidio's unfortunate name for the case style, which has been used for other phones in the past and predates the Samsung Active model of the S4).

In theory, the wireless cover should get the room it needs in the Active case which it lacks in a standard case. The question is whether it would have too much room and be loose.

Pretty much all of the extended battery cases being offered for the S4 beg the same question: Do any of them fit the wireless charging back cover perfectly?

It would be sublime if this one happened to work:

Seido Active Case for Extended Battery Back Cover

People keep talking about a "bulge" -- both with the charging cover and standard cases, and with the tiny charging receiver that people insert into the S4 with the standard back cover -- and that doesn't sound good in terms of the durability of the S4, which, after all, is a rather expensive piece of kit.

People also say that a given case (TPU or the UAG) fits perfectly and then notice that two weeks later the case is falling apart due to constant stress.

An official charging cover paired with an extended battery case might bypass the issue of rapid stress degradation. Has anyone tried it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
An update for people who've been given conflicting reports about UAG Armor compatibility:

The case fits in the sense that the official wireless back cover is seated correctly. What doesn't fit is the lip of the case, which recedes slightly at the volume and on-off buttons. The silver borders of the frame are visible all around in a way that makes the front look too tight.

My sense is that the case would provide adequate protection for the wireless back cover except where the rubber that frames the face is intended to absorb impact for the screen in the event of a drop. You have less protection there, but I couldn't say how much less -- possibly a sixteenth of an inch.

My sense is that the UAG might work well for a time, but that the constant stress due to the slight size difference could weaken the frame over time. One member said he noticed a crack in the side of his after a few months. That doesn't surprise me.

The Trident Aegis fits better than the UAG (even though it, too, has a molded casing), provided you insert your S4 top-first and carefully arrange the lip of rubber around the top to cover the silver border. You'll still see the silver at the bottom beneath the home button, but you don't get the impression the case is being stretched in a way that will cause it to fall apart. You'd see that same silver bit with the standard back cover as well.

If anyone's interested, I'll let you know if the Aegis still looks as good in about three weeks.

Made my own charging back

I got tired of trying the different cases and none of them fitting the OEM charging back. I didn't want the patch one because it messes up with my spare battery charger.

So i tried something different.

I took a patch that i got on EBAY and did the following;

1. Removed the two sided tape that came on it.

2. Removed the one side of the protective covering that had the Note 3 labeling.

3. Aligned it with the indents on the back of a standard case that came with my note 3. I attached it with two small pieces of two sided tape.

It works beautifully and charges at a rate of 640 according to the Samsung charging current app.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] A|ex:
I dont understand why you even bother with the charging cover, when you can go for the .5 QI Wireless Charging Receiver Card Coil, slip this in your current case, then use the Qi charging pad.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] adriantc_ro:
I have given up searching for a case that fits it. While I have found ones good enough, I couldn't find any that was designed for the wireless back cover. So I decided to go for the over the battery receiver which keeps the original back cover. Since they sell the wireless kit Samsung should have made at last an S View Cover for wireless charging.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wrwrx:
They do sell one now.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Dlnp22:
I'll offer a reason.

I have the thin Qi wireless receiver insert(by fonesalesman) and am currently using the Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. My phone becomes a women's flat iron after 5 minutes of charging(exaggeration, but not too far off).

I use the TYLT Vu dock and my phone sits in it all day long. I've noticed the charging doesn't turn off, drop a few % points, then turn back on(as it should, per VU's customer service's correspondence). I was informed that it may be because I'm using the wireless receiver insert. I was ALSO informed that using the OEM charging cover would cure this issue, thus preventing my phone from igniting the next piece of paper that falls out of one of my files(again...I kid.... well..... sort of).

My OEM replacement cover is on the way, and, from what I hear (and hope), will drastically reduce my overheating issues.

And if it doesn't, I'll come back to edit this post, leaving JUST an image of my work desk covered in fire extinguisher spray...........
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mario23:
I bit the bullet and ordered one. I will get it tomorrow and post my results. Good looking case so I hope it works.

I currently have the UAG which I like just fine but the lack of secure fit does bother me. When I pocket carry it, it slips off the edge and has to be regularly adjusted. Otherwise a great looking case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mario23:
Got the Spigen slim armor view case in white. Real nice case but guess what...does not fit with the wireless samsung back. Not only does it not fit but as a result, you can't close the cover and snap it down. Now you know.

I've gone back to my original back with a fone wireless qi card for now. As I recall the only problem I had with that one was when the phone was fully charged it beep like crazy. I'm gonna go with this case for a while as I'm tired of rigging up cases half assed to accommodate the samsung wireless back and never working that well.

I'll do some more research on some of the other qi cards out there but for me the case has to fit perfect and its evident that we are sol when it comes to the samsung wireless back.

The above will work, but unless you're comfortable with a batch renaming tool (command line or otherwise), could be rather painful.

Alright, I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7 and a Galaxy S4 with a new microSD card. I was able to initially insert the microSD card into the adapter, slide it into my Macbook Pro and transfer all of my desired music files. Put the card in my phone and it located the files no problem. Well I went today to add new files using both AFT and the SD card adapter but not files are able to be transferred to the card. AFT has no problem storing files on the internal memory so I'm guessing it's a problem with my SD card. Any ideas on what to do?

I've Googled a bit and was told to format my SD card and that should make it recognizable by my Macbook Pro again, but if I were to do this would this problem arise again once I insert the card back into my S4?
