Thanks for this, i have the same case. That bulge just bothers the heck out of me lol
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
I have been using this one for over a week and it is nice to have a good fit as well a the 3DO protection.

Some have used a heat gun or just left the case on the dashboard of their car in the sun to heat it up and get a perfect fit.

This user is doing case reviews and in each one he also tests it with the Qi charging cover, definitely worth checking out.

I've got the spigen stand case, but I opted to get a wireless charging reciever that attaches to the battery. I have 0 bulges or deformities and it actually works quite well with the case. Only 12$ too! Not sure if the oem case charges faster or not tho.

Can you post a pic please?

Thanks!

I tried out two more cases. The Amzer Border Case for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM - G900 won't fit at all. It's a hybrid TPU/plastic case and the plastic prevents it from stretching enough to settle on correctly. I also tried the [Drop Protection] Caseology Samsung Galaxy S5 Slim Fit Skin Cover listed earlier in this thread. I guess you could say it fits, the bezel isn't fully covered but the front lip protects the screen. That case is also very smooth and hard to grip.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] thundrbird1:
Are you sure that is the OEM wireless back cover? Looks like the regular back from the pictures.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] melvsmeister:
Is this the oem wireless charging cover? Looks thin and good fit! I'll buy this too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kaibosh:
Mine is the Samsung official charging back.. From gridflash's comment "..Galaxy S5 with the e_thoth Qi charger on ebay.", I assume that his is a 3rd party receiver that fits under the existing back.

The Neo Hybrid definitely doesn't fit the Samsung wireless charging back (Well, it goes in there - it just doesn't do it well and looks horrendous with bits hanging out :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] myKale:
Oh man. Would have really like the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Samsung oem wireless back together. Do you happen to have a pic of it?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] urklegrue:
Yes it's the official wireless charging back! I was surprised how well the case fit. It's flexible and adds very little bulk to the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kaibosh:
No pic sorry - but [MENTION=456650]mobilemaduk[/MENTION] has a youtube channel with a bunch of videos trying out different cases with the official Samsung back, so even better than a pic.. (and a big thanks to him for making the videos!)

The one for the Neo Hybrid is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kI6j-i2eyE

It really is a shame, as the Neo Hybrid fit the official wireless charging back reasonably well on the S4.

Bloody Samsung.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] awtryau89:
I just purchased a fake Tough Armor and Slim Armor off eBay. I am going to try and cut the TPU to fit. If it can work, I plan on buying the genuine case and altering that. Once they get here, I'll post my findings with some pics. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $10.

Social Media

Hi All,

It would be good to post a few messages to the social media sites of the case makers, as they may not be aware of demand or even the wireless back.

I would suggest at least contact Trident and Otterbox for a Kraken AMS or Defender case that would fit with a Wireless Back.

Thanks all
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tylerrattv:
i bought a fake SLIM Armor and did that. you need to cut the entire back except for the sides it works well. i had to use a hot blade to cut it as the rubber stuff was to hard to cut nicely.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
Anyone with the Tech21 case notice it tends to "Shrink" after a while and need to be heated up again.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] penguinpoo:
Rinse and Repeat!

HI All!!!!

I am not trying to spam, but thought it well worth repeating, we should reach out and contact case manufacturers to let them know there IS DEMAND FOR a case that fits.

!!!! What you think ??? Definatly worth concentrating on the 'BIG 3' Trident, Otterbox, Spigen (Sorry if I missed your favourite one out!) Perhaps could add Griffen to that list.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] itzweber:
This bumper case seems to fit quite well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281312290303

Buttons all work and phone charges wirelessly with the case on.

Although I've decided I don't like the feel of it, just thought I would throw out another option. The metal is too slippery. Think I'll look for a rubber case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diehardbattery:
I just got an otterbox preserver case. I tried it with the oem wireless charging back. Sadly, it does not fit.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mobilemaduk:
My impact mesh did not need heating to fit. It was tight to start with but gets easier with time
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kaibosh:
I can confirm that the official Samsung TPU case (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-PG900BSESTA) fits, but it is tight.. I almost dislocated my thumbs trying to get it in there and had to wedge a thin piece of plastic around the edge to get the lip over the phone. The lower part of the front (below the home button) is the only place that the case looks a little off, but it's minor. I'm not a fan of the feel of it, but beggars can't be choosers.

Top holes are accessible and buttons work, but bottom door is very slightly covered (easy to get out of the way in order to open the door though). The one possible issue is that microphone hole on the bottom is partially obscured from the front - so audio quality may not be ideal. Increasing the size of the hole may fix that but I have buckleys of getting it off without cutting it off, so it may just be a matter of living with it and hoping that it stretches, or to keep looking.

Charging on the large (old/"S4") Samsung Qi charger works fine. Charging on the new (small/"S5") Samsung Qi charger also works fine if you get the placement right (I had troubles with placement on the new charger when it was just the naked wireless charging back so the TPU case may make no difference there).

I'll post photos when I get a chance.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Antennaman:
Case works great

Just tossing in a little 'thanks' and an echo that the case you recommended works great.

Picked it up at Best Buy, laid it in the defroster port on the dashboard with it on full heat for about 5 minutes, and it snapped right on and fits just like it was made for it.

It protects the front edges properly, and the charging functions work perfectly. Thanks!

I spent a great deal of time finding this thread for this recommendation; many kudos to those taking the time to keep everyone apprised of the work-around.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Thanks. This case works perfectly. In my opinion it was a little loose with the standard back. Fits just right with the wireless cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Northern.dj:
This case is fitted on a standard back and does not fit on the S cover

I'm not sure why no one believes me but it most assuredly is the wireless cover. I am neither an idiot nor a liar.

Belkin - AIR PROTECT Grip Bumper Case

Belkin - AIR PROTECT Grip Bumper Case for Samsung Galaxy S 5 Cell. FINALLY found a bumper case, or any case for that matter that actually fits PERFECT with the OEM Wireless Charging Back Cover. Buttons work flawless and everything lines up. Pictures enclosed.

I also have the Zagg Glass protector on the phone.

I have a urban armor gear it's tight but does work.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Aradfan:
This goes well with the original charging back. It doesn't make it to bulky and I didn't notice any problems with the signal data and wireless. It's ordered from Amazon.de and it came extra with a wateproof zip-lock bag. In the pictures there is the normal back but trust me it goes with the charging back. Also, I think that any bumper should go with the charging back

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] peaster3:
+1 and a glass protector. I like the Belkin bumper better than I thought I would. It doesn't feel like you are forcing a square peg in a round hole

and it offers protection in all of the right places.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] walkman666:
Awesome, thundrbird1, finally is right. As soon as I saw this post, I went to bb and got one myself. You are correct! It fits perfectly, and now we finally have some protection for the Qi charger. And, it charges. Cool. Thanks for the tip. Low profile, too, as it's merely a bumper.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drwx:
i went into bestbuy tonight and tried almost every case they had... none fit. what are you guys doing to get those belkin cases to fit? i managed to get one of them on, but it pressed the volume keys constantly.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] walkman666:
The bumper case fit naturally, like it was meant for the wireless charging back. Did you specifically try the belkin "air protect edge guard"? That is what the packaging says, which I'm looking at right now. In the lower left of the packaging, it also says "grip bumper." Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] thundrbird1:
No problem. I searched everywhere and the bumper was stashed behind one of the other Belkin cases. And the fact that it doesn't interfere with the charging makes this a good find.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

The Model: F8M913B1C00 SKU: 4939002 straight from the Best Buy store.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drwx:
I'm pretty sure we tried that one. It was the only one that the phone went all the into, but it was so tight that it kept the vol buttons pressed.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
You likely tried the Vue case... not the bumper. The bumper works wonderfully for my phone as well. Packaging for both cases looks very similar.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
I am currently using the Samsung OEM TPU case which fits 99% perfect. I got it on eBay but it looks to be in stock on Samsung site.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-PG900BSESTA

Before that I was using the Tech 21 Impact Tactical which also fit 99%. No problem with volume or power buttons.

http://www.tech21.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-impact-tactical/

I stopped using this case because the textured outside will not stick to the AirDock that I am currently testing out in my vehicle.

I picked up the Belkin bumper case as I was hoping the exposed rear would work well with the AirDock, but it turns out that the back of the phone cannot reach the sticky area of the AirDock and therefore is only held in place by the magnets, which do not provide a strong hold on their own.

http://www.belkin.com/us/F8M913-Belkin/p/P-F8M913;jsessionid=A4045B42DB5D6073BE7CEA8E250645AC/

All of these cases worked great with the OEM charging cover. If I decide to stop using the AirDock I will most likely go back to the Tech 21 case as I feel it gave the best protection. I will be returning the Belkin bumper to Best Buy.

With the Belkin bumper on, how does the S5 feel in your hand?

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Not too bad. Obviously not nice as naked.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] walkman666:
Agreed. Bumper case doesn't detract from looks a great deal, but it is not as nice as when phone is naked. It is really nice sans case, but the bumper case is not ugly or too big, and it fits fine, and charges inductively. It is my solution.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] awtryau89:
I've been using the Belkin Bumper case too for a few days now. I preferred the Slim Armor with normal back over this but as far as charging back solutions, this is the best I have found. Naked is just too worrisome. The bumper feels good and I actually like to look it gives the phone but it just seems to add a bit too much bulkiness around the edges. I'll keep looking for better solutions but this is the best so far and I am to the point now where I could not give up wireless charging so I would rather compromise on the case than vice versa.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] youphone:
I have a white S5. Do you think the black or pink Belkin bumper works better? :)

Black bumper on a white phone just seems contrast each other too much

but then again, the Hello Kitty pink on a white phone, while very pretty, is also

somewhat "cartoonish" ??? Does Belkin make a white bumper?

Guess I'll have to head down to Best Buy to seem them in person. :)

Does the bumper squeak(like plastic parts rubbing) when you're picking the

phone up or holding it during a phone conversation?

Also... I'm wondering if the Belkin S5 folio case can accept the S5 with

charging back?

This one:

http://www.staples.com/Belkin-Classic-Folio-Galaxy-S5-Case-Mask/product_1017466
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] awtryau89:
Definitely black. It has some glossy parts so it looks really good. I have a Spigen Glas screen protector and I use the black jelly button and it ties it all together very nicely. I hate the fingerprint scanner so I just covered it up.

The bumper fits better than almost any case I have tried, It does not squeek or give. The buttons are not molded but separate parts so they are very responsive. Go to Best Buy and try it. They let me put it on my phone and I knew immediately I would buy it.

fit into the Belking Air Protect bumpers?

I guess there could be issues but I am using a Spigen Glas tempered glass protector (.26mm thickness) and wireless back with the Belkin case and no issues at all. The Belkin bumper does not extend over the screen at all so there is no interference.

GOOD NEWS!

Well, good news for anyone who wants this case that doesnt live near a best buy - or out side the US for that matter.

mobilefun.co.uk (who ship worldwide - and with whom I am not affiliated with) have just replied to my email (requesting to stock this product) this morning, saying:

------------

Thank you for your email, and for your product request.

Please find it by following the link below:

I hope this has been helpful for you!

If you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you

Kind Regards,

Anyone try the Otter box Preserver or the Life Proof case?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] youphone:
add me to the list of happy campers! :)

I got the Belkin Air Protect bumper case at the local

Best Buy yesterday.

My S5 has the Samsung wireless charging back cover

AND

Verizon's tempered glass screen protector.

The Belkin bumper case still fits perfectly. :)

I admit that I usually hate bumpers, but Belkin makes

it in a very nice quality soft plastic. It looks pretty good.

I can't live without the wireless charging, so unless someone

finds another case that will work, I'm giving the Belkin 10 out

of 10 score! :)

By the way, I got the pink one. Looks fine with my white S5.

(don't judge) :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] autothrillsstuntdriver:
I also contacted Mobile Fun a week ago, not regarding that particular case, but to ask if any one of the 367 Galaxy S5 cases they offer for sale (including the Belkin Air) would fit the S5 with a wireless charging back........ Here is the reply I got .......

Thank you for your e-mail.

Unfortunately, as you have discovered this Qi back cover does add a few mm of thickness that makes finding a case quite difficult. Apart from pouches.

We don't really have anything that will provide a proper fit. We do sell the flexishield that will fit with this back attached but it does have to be stretched on and isn't the fit it would normally provide

I hope this information helps.

The important sentence for me was "We don't really have anything that will provide a proper fit" !!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] penguinpoo:
So did I!

Yes, I had also asked Mobile Fun a question similar to yours about a month ago. It was only sometime after that (after more googling) that I had found this article.

At the time the Belkin case was not available out side of Best Buy in the US (That I could find), So I emailed Mobile at some point in the weekend, explaining the whole situation, with a link to this thread, a link to the case on best buy and also just to make sure, I told them the exact model number & SKU of the Belkin case.

So probably because of your email, mine (and probably some more), they got this one in for us (remember - the case is not officially for the wireless charger cover - it just happens to be a loose case, and fit perfectly with the wireless back).

PS on other news - I noticed my S5 - especially the camera app to me much slower with ART rather than Dalvik.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] idle0095:
Same here but my lifeproof S5 does fit. It is a bit of a fight to get it on and the power button is useless but it does work and stay water proof. I use double tap to turn screen off anyways so the power button doesnt bother me. I looked in to the power button and the reason it dont work is because it sits a tad lower then the case. Volume down is the same issue. But you can control volume another way anyways. So im happy with it so far.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] penguinpoo:
Also in theory

Well, theoretically, with the bumper case, & the wireless back you have effectively a full case. Just add a Zagg for completion.

PS. Can anyone figure out the attached 'captcha' ?!

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] awtryau89:
I have found a case that fits very well with a caveat. If you like Otterbox Commuter style cases, the Incipio Dual Pro fits great. The inner layer fits over the phone and back perfectly. The otter shell takes some work to get it installed but once there it is great. All the buttons work perfectly. The caveat is that I tried a few different shells at my local Frys and found one that fit better than the others. I am guessing the shell has manufacturing variances. Even so, the worst fitting shell still only left a very small gap at the top next to the camera. I haven't tried the wireless charming yet but if it works through these other cases it should be fine with this one. I can't take pictures right now since I am at work but the link for the case is attached. If you do not have a local store with these cases and must order one, I think you would be fine. Looking at the case I think the top edges of the inner layer could be shrunk with a razor blade to make it fit even better.

http://www.incipio.com/cases/samsun...galaxy-s5/dualpro-case-samsung-galaxy-s5.html

Finally, I tried the Incipio NGP case as well. It also fits very nicely but doesn't offer as much protection.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] greyhulk:
So, I bought the Belkin bumper on the recommendation of other people here. I do like the way it fits, but I have one issue: It makes the power button insanely hard to press. I actually end up adjusting the volume every time I turn it on because I have to brace my index finger against the side to hit the power button with enough force (left hand).

I can't deal with cases that make the power button harder to press. If this was a phone with an always active digitizer like the M8, Oppo Find 7a, LG G3, etc, it wouldn't be an issue. But you have to use the power button on the GS5 constantly.

And, no, the home button is not a substitute. It gets enough abuse without being used as a power button hundreds of times/day too.

Sadly, I think the bumper case is going back. I need to find one with either a cut out for the power button, or no resistance.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] walkman666:
Hmmmm, greyhulk. I have no such issues pressing the power button with my OEM Samsung wireless charging back and the Belkin bumper. I just tested my phone to be sure, but it's simple press, almost as if no case was on my phone (!). I have to imagine that the discrepancy between your experience and some others (e.g. mine) could be that the fit with the bumper is still not perfect (the bumper case was not intended to be made with the slightly thicker wireless charging back), and therefore some pretty small differences between cases, and backs winds up with some customers having zero problems, and others having an inexact fit, functionally speaking. Maybe, and this is a small likelihood, you can try adjusting your case a tad to alter the fit a bit, and see if that changes anything. Prolly not. I guess in these situations, it truly is a YMMV.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] awtryau89:
Just as a follow up. I went back and tried the Dual Pro Shine and the outer shell is not as flexible and does fit as well as the regular Dual Pro.
