No. I just ordered it when it didn't say backordered. Got lucky perhaps? Eitherway, received it today and the free tech tiles weren't in the box as the customer service rep told me they would be. Emailed them about it.

Agree with others that the cover feels better in the hand and the extra weight makes the phone feel more solid. The cover doesn't seem like it snapped on the back as tightly but perhaps I'm paranoid. I'll assume it keeps the water out. Not going to test that. I'll also see tomorrow at work if it knocks the RF down at all. I sit on the edge of coverage there. Doesn't seem to affect the coverage at home at all.

I have been using the OEM wireless cover with the OEM white rectangle pad for a few days now and so far so good. The phone starts charging almost immediately after placing it on the pad, charging seems as quick as using USB although I have not timed it. At 100% the green light comes on and the phone stays at 100%. I hated trying to open the USB cover to charge the phone, the wireless charging feature makes this phone complete. I don't use cases so that is not an issue. I tried using a case (Spigen Neo Hybrid) for a while and could not stand the added bulk. The back cover adds some bulk but nothing compared to a case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mmark27:
Just an update if anyone was curious. I don't see any loss of RF signal at all with the OEM wireless charging back.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] C0derbear:
The UAG does *not* fit the OEM wireless back.

The UAG case *does* work with an add-in Qi card under the stock back, and charges fine.

Air Dock appears to work when I plug it into a 2 amp AC plug with OEM Black back. It will not work when I but my Tech 21 case on it.

I am able to get it to work through my Tech 21 Impact Tactical, although it will not stick with out the sticker, using an 2Amp A/C adapter. I picked up a 2.1Amp car charger at Walgreens which seems to work good for the charger, but not through the case. Will need to see how the Anker charger I ordered works in the car with the Tech 21 case on it. I may just run naked if the case continues to be an issue. Bad enough I had to struggle to find one that will fit with the OEM cover. All my other Qi chargers have no problem charging through the case.

TEXT REMOVED... Sorry I just saw you can't ask to buy items from people...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Finally received mine and I will report back if I have any problems like the others.

I measured the two out of curiosity sake for thickness and weight and here are my results:

Thickness:

Original cover - 3.22 mm

Wireless charging cover - 4.72mm

Weight:

Original cover - 0.2 ounces (~6 grams)

Wireless charging cover - 0.9 ounces (~25 grams)

Phone definitely feels heavier in the hand, however, it isn't horrible. Around 160 grams where the stock comes in around 145 grams.

I picked up the bumper from BestBuy that someone suggested in the cases that fit with the wireless charging cover thread and it fits great!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dpwhitty11:
I ordered my back on Saturday (I was waiting for an email to let m know that they were back in stock, but never got one) and I received it yesterday.

It definitely makes the phone thicker, but now it feels just right. But that's probably because I like the new shape better since it reminds me of the Moto X.

I tried to put my Spigen Neo Hybrid on it, and the rubber/tpu part fits ok. The rim doesn't fit worth a damn though.

I also have the rectangle Samsung wireless charger, and I've been using it with a Qi insert for 2 weeks and it's been perfect. It made a lot of heat though. With the official back though, it charges slightly faster and there is sooooooo much less heat.

I just wish the white texture could be grippy like the black.

Oh, and it was cool that I got 5 free TecTiles with my purchase. My other NFC tags don't work with the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
I don't think I would remove the cover, but I could see giving up on wireless charging and just using the charge port.

I myself am actually considering going naked for the sake of wireless charging working its best. But so far my S4 rectangle and my Choetech charging pads work great through my Tech 21 case. Just need to get the AirDock working the same and I will be good to go with that case and the OEM charging back.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] fanto3k4:
I had an S3 (not water resistant / exposed charging port) for 2 years and got along fine with an extended battery. I get the S5 and kind of get sucked into the whole water resistant feature. The port cover is known to break so I decide to go with wireless charging. I didn't realizing that the OEM wireless charger and pad were going to have so many issues not to mention the aftermarket items too. I too wanted to go naked on the phone but I am concerned with the glass going right to the edge of the bezel and seeing so many cracked screens on Galaxy phones. If my OEM rectangle charger I have on order works and we get the Air Dock working.... Maybe I will change my mind.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
That's similar to one I have. But with wireless charging back, it isn't covering all the way to top on front. Does this one cover your phone well, with the wireless back in place?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Yes it does cover it well. To be honest I think it is more snug with the wireless charging cover on. It seemed a bit loose when I had put it on with the normal cover.

The back is not as well protected as the new cover is raised quite a bit more, however, there is still a bit of a buffer.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Wow. Never realized or even imagined this would fit so very snug!!! Thank you sir. Nice find.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Update: Wireless charging doesn't work anymore. Basic purpose lost :(
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
surely not because of the bumper???
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
When I took it off, it worked.

Did yours work with bumper on?

Edit: my bad. The issue was with the backplate. It fell down when I was putting it back on. Looks like that killed it. A little pressure over the metal area and the charging light comes up. When I put it on phone, light doesn't come up. Sigh. So much for its durability.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] melvsmeister:
I just got my wireless charging cover from shopblt. It took a while to be delivered but so far so good. I like the added thickness and a bit heavier but it feels good in the hand. I'm using LuguLake Qi-Enabled Single-Position Wireless Standard Charger Charging Pad and it charges up to 100% and stays there until I remove the phone. Charging is like 50% per hr, its slower compare to wired charger but I bought since I don't loosen my charging cover just like what happen to my S4 Active. I bought a rubber case in ebay since I thought I can easily fit the phone even with cover and I will post pictures once I got it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] fanto3k4:
Air Dock update. Used a shorter cord and the other cig charger included with my purchase. I put the included magnet sticker under my Tech 21 case and I was able to charge. On my 20 min drive to work my phone charged from 94% to 100% and stayed on. Not sure if it was the shorter 6" cable or the second cig charger that fixed my problem.

Samsung site now has the black back in stock:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CG900IBUSTA
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
My AirDock works fine but when I have my case on it is like it cannot reach through the case. I ordered an Anker 4.8Amp car charger so i will see if that gives it the juice it needs to reach through the case, but the Tech 21 tactical has a texture on it that makes it not want to stick. I might try putting the sticker on the inside of the case but for now I am using the Samsung OEM TPU case which sticks to the AirDock really well but still does not always get a charge with the current plug.

I was going to try the Belkin Air Protect Bumper as it leaves the back open and should connect really well. I will report back once I have tried the new car charger and case combination.

Oh I also ordered another OEM charging cover now that Samsung has them in stock with the 50% off code for registering my device. Just in case for a back up or maybe I will sell it hehe
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
So I just picked up my Galaxy S5 yesterday and I was looking at getting the wireless charging cover for it to go with the Nokia DT-910 Qi charging stand I used for my previous phone. Both Samsung's website and Amazon list the cover with Qi support, but they list it as "coming soon", and not shipping until July, respectively. One person on Amazon mentioned AT&T stores having the cover in stock so I quickly ran over and picked one up. However upon returning home, it doesn't work on my charger. I then looked and noticed this one from AT&T says it's PMA standard, and not Qi. I pulled the cover back off again, and noticed it has both PMA and Qi logos on the inside of it. I'm so confused!

Are there two different models, one with Qi, and one with PMA? I'm guessing I'll be returning this one because I'm not spending another $60 on a different charging stand.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
first time I have heard a cover that is compatible with both spec, can you make the photo smaller, it's too big to tell if it's real or fake, as it looks so real, and i've not even seen these in china where most fakes come from.

what is the price of the item.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
First image I took of the inside of the cover, second image is from the Qi one listed on Samsung's website for comparison. Even if it did have both standards, it's not working on my Qi charger. The included packaging, and AT&T's website only mention PMA support.

The price at AT&T is $35 before tax.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I also checked the site and it seems legit, but it also states qi, does you cover detect anything. apart from not charging, im very intereted in one to test it out.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
Charger doesn't respond at all, and I'm trying it back and forth with my old phone which still charges fine. I even moved it around all over in case it was just the coils not being close enough but it didn't help. I'm guessing the Qi logo on the inside must be a mistake.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
has anyone else got this cover that can comment on it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
From Amazon - charges as promised, however, I am getting some mean wakelocks and battery drain now. Not sure if it is because of the wireless charging. The Nexus 5 has noted wakelock issues with wireless charging.

Starbucks and pma is heavily promoting wireless charging at all their coffee shop, pma is useless outside of the US, if it was A4WP it's worth considering.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
The DT910 doesn't work with the official Samsung wireless back. The coil is in the wrong place to charge it. If you hold it at 180 degrees and move it around you can get it charge, but obviously it makes it useless practically. I have a DT910 and couldn't use it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] GorillaPimp:
shipped one month later and arrives monday

Plan on using the s4 charging pad in a special slim felt lined section of my center console where I keep my phone charging since I can do most things via bluetooth in the car radio or voice commands. If that works well, Ill get another s4 pad for my night stand unless my Nexus 4 magnetic dock works with it.

Anyone try it with a N4 stock wireless charging stand?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SF Steven:
has anyone in the US ordered from eBay (moderntech-uk)?

i ordered a black one on May 28 and it was estimated to arrive by last Wednesday...still nothing.

i contacted them and was told they had no tracking information and i'd just have to wait for it to arrive.

my questions are:

how long did it take for you to get the cover?

did you have any problems with them?

i don't want to be difficult; i could open a case now and just buy one locally instead of waiting but if their deliveries are usually behind schedule, i might wait a few more days.

thoughts?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
Thanks for the heads up.

I already put in my order with Samsung for the Qi cover with the 50% off coupon. If I can't get it to work with this stand I guess I'll be open for suggestions for a new one, an upright one only, or one of the third-party Qi coil receivers.

Air Dock follow up #2. Both my Air Dock Cig adapters are not functioning. There are no fuses to replace. Email sent to Air Dock.

I'm afraid I have to wait a little bit to have many answers for you guys with the S5. I have numerous aftermarket receivers as well as the Samsung receivers supposed to show up in the next few days. Once I can get them all I will be able to test them and then recommend the ones that work the best. To be honest I am quite surprised that the Samsung receiver isn't working for people. (I still haven't gotten mine from Samsung) All the other Galaxy devices work great with the Samsung receiver on the Air Dock. The Air Dock is a little bit picky about what receiver you use in the phone due to the magnets, and the S5 is definitely giving me the most trouble of any phone. I will get it all sorted out though and get you guys a working solution. I do know that there is at least one aftermarket receiver that is working. I have one customer reporting that it's working fine for him.Â

Thanks

I bought this Choetech Stadium wireless charger and it works great with the OEM back. Charges fully to 100% and has done it fine for the past couple days. There's a slickdeals code ( http://goo.gl/yB5Hnm ) that makes it $26.38. I'll probably order another soon.

There aren't any decent upright QI chargers at a reasonable price I've found. The only other one I've seen is the Tylt Vu, but seems pricey for £84. Every thing else is flat or holds the phone at 45 degrees. Those rely on friction and have trouble with cases.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
Yeah, I don't understand why they have to be so expensive. I'm looking more at the latter, third-party receivers, than the former. I just want one somewhat upright to use daydream for a clock, and Nokia was perfect for that.

I won't recommend paying for a Samsung full back wireless plate. Mine is finicky n charges when it wishes to. Its a costly pain!

Don't know if you guys noticed but we can now place an actual order for the wireless charging back from Samsung http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CG900IBUSTA as in pay for it and not just get on the back order list. $14.99 + $3.95 shipping after the 50% off code.

And whats the 50% code?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
I'd disagree. I have an adapter for my iPhone and a wireless back for my S5. Both behave the same. The charger you choose makes a difference.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] btort1:
Mine works fine, maybe you just have a bad one. Mine charges quick, not as fast as the regular s5 charger but it's fast.

Maybe it charges the same as an s4 getting fully charged by a regular charger
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
I got my Anker charger on Friday and have tested it with the AirDock. It works great! Although, I have issues with it working through a case. If I place the naked S5 on the AirDock with the Anker charger it works as expected. But with a TPU case, currently using the Samsung OEM TPU, charging is hit or miss. When I hit a bump the charging seems to go in and out, and there seems to be an excessive amount of heat generated when going through the case.

While on a road trip this weekend I had the S5 on the AirDock and was streaming Pandora to my stereo while using the GPS and it had a difficult time maintaining my current charge, let alone providing surplus to the battery. On the way home I gave in and plugged it in. I will test with some other Qi chargers in my vehicle to see what the results are.

So far I would say the AirDock is a great charging dock if you run your device naked. But with a case there seems to be some concern.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lurch0101:
my code won't work for you, tied to my shipping address. anyone who recently registered a S5 with Samsung should have received one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Aradfan:
Had the original wireless charging kit for a couple of days and discovered something strange. While I had the BBS app installed the charger wouldn't hold the phone at 100%. After uninstalling BBS the phone stayed at 100% for a couple of hours. What the heck? I went through BBS settings and didn't find anything related. I'm on stock latest ROM without root.

Anyway I would recommend to all the original charging kit, at least the back cover because it keeps the IP56 certification. While with other QI-Charging receivers the certification most likely will be lost, even with the thin ones.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Genuine Samsung charging base is what I am using... it's the full size one where you can keep the full phone flat on.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
There isn't anything really. The is a new LG one which may work or suffer from the same placement problem of the Nokia. Luckily for me the Nokia DT910 works with my iPhone so not wasted.

When picking a wireless charger choose a branded one. They are much less fussy about about placement than cheaper ones.

So it looks like all of wireless charging accessories are no longer listed on the Samsung site: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G900AZKAATT-accessories

Edit: Nevermind. Found it listed under all cell phone accessories, still on back order though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
Ok so check this out. I got my charging cover from the Samsung site today and I noticed something. The model number is different from the one I got from baby towns on ebay. In the attached pics the one from Samsung site is on the left and the one from ebay is on the right.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The one on the right is for the asian and korean market, and there are others for european, US and middle east etc, apart from the model number being different and safety marking , they all should be the same.

Im interested in the at&t version that supports pma and qi standard.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
Okay, so my official Qi cover arrived from Samsung today (after returning the PMA cover to AT&T), and I considered sending this one right back in favor of a third party receiver coil, but happened to come across this thread from someone who modified their Nokia DT910 to move the transmitter coil further up. There is not much slack in the wires, so you can only move it about 1/4th an inch or so after removing as much plastic as possible. Turns out this is just enough distance to make the difference, or else I would have had to rewire the coil. I followed the directions, but had some trouble getting the coil to stay in place and work at the same time, and getting the charger back together in one piece. I ended up using some duct tape to tape the coil to the front plastic plate, rather than the back, to minimize distance. Once it was all snapped back together, it worked fine!

Having tried one of those, it most certainly does not support both, despite the inside markings. As I have said the corresponding packaging only mentions the PMA support.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
Mmmm. How hard did you find it? My current DT910 is being used to charge my iPhone so I'd be buying another to open up and "adjust" to work with my S5.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Some how dual wireless format receivers are actually showing up, i've just ordered a 3rd party receiver that support both qi and pma, should get it in the next 2-3 days.

I think it's because starbucks have just started installing pma wireless chargers in all their coffee shop.

So it seems like it's for the US market, thats probably why at&t has a dual format cover, although you haven't gotten it to work.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
I was mostly just winging it. It's not hard it just takes a little time toying with it. You need something to pry the base and plate open, a small torx screwdriver to unscrew the plate from the base, a small saw to remove the larger plastic pieces, and a knife for smaller plastic bits.

I easily got the Qi cover to work with my Qi charger before I modified it by turning the phone sideways, I can't say the same for the AT&T "PMA" cover which didn't get detected at all no matter how I positioned it. I'd like to believe this means the cover only works with PMA, or it doesn't work at all, because I don't have a PMA charger to test it with.

AT&T has also officially shown support for PMA only, removing Qi support from at least one of their carried phones in the process. If a dual support cover was coming, it probably wouldn't be from AT&T, but I welcome anyone curious to ask Samsung the nature of both logos being on the cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
i've asked and i'm waiting for my friend to get a reply.

i'm sure that cover will work, and a error like that with a qi logo is not heard of from samsung, but qi has always had compatible problems with some charger.

This is for everyone to know, Asus has just released a Qi charger thats looks very nice and very good quality, although it was made for the nexus 7 (2013), model number is PW100, if it's for the nexus 7, it's alright, but does not work with the samsung OEM cover, the location of the coil is positioned and the oem cover will not connect unless you hold you phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
I'm a little confused. I went to Samsung's website and the wireless charging back that they have looks exactly like the OEM one, it still has the small hump for the camera. I've seen the actual wireless charging back and it appears to be slightly deeper than the one that came with the S5.

Here's the link: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CG900IBUSTA
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] fr4c:
Yes the actual product is different from what Samsung (and other websites) show. The charging back is slightly thicker, so the camera no longer protrudes. It does protect the rear camera lens since it no longer sticks out when resting the phone on a table, so thats a plus.

On the other hand it is deceiving for Samsung to show a regular non-Qi case as the product image for the actual wireless back.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JRCARRERAS:
I bought the original wireless back cover from AT&T, (Model EPCG900IBA). The box says "For use with PMA Certified Charnging Pads" in the bottom left hand corner. I'm using the Nokia DT-900 charging plate, it says in the box "Desigened for QI complience", they work perfect. I can put the phone straight or side ways an it always charges to 100%.
