Okay but this thread is specifically for using cases with the OEM charging back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] diehardbattery:
Couldn't a case be designed with a removable inner back plate so you could change back and forth between the wireless and stock back covers?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Juzm:
I have a UAG cover that only just fits with the genuine qi back.

Best alternative so far for me.

Better than no case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Flame Red:
Seems like my posts were deleted.

Any case that works with the Samsung OEM Qi Back AND the Samsung OEM Docking station? I tried two of the cases on this list and neither worked with the Samsung Docking Station.

Has anyone seen this/have any first hand experience using this?

http://shop.tylt.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=116822B07E5D4927A98951D0A6AF24F5

I also read a review on it and it seems to produce the same result as ripping open the Samsung Qi cover, but a few bucks less.

I wouldn't pay $25 to get a receiver coil that borks the nfc...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] diehardbattery:
It supports NFC, at least, according to the Amazon description...

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] papped:
Doesn't interfere means it might work if you don't have a case/etc on top of it. It does not actually act as a nfc antenna though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] diehardbattery:
Actually, I contacted Tylt about this and they confirmed that it DOES interfere with NFC. Android Central was right :( Shame...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KostasR:
Does this work with the official charging back? Any input appreciated :)

The verus shield case fits my oem Qi backplate
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] quocamole:
nope
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KostasR:
I was about to buy it... Such a shame for Samsung... I will look for a custom 3rd party solution instead of the original back cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ford12acing:
my unicorn case broke, dropped it once, and the plastic shield that goes into the rubber back broke. pretty cheap case. i miss the seidio quality of yore
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I can vouch for the mod where you take the QI gubbins from an official back and fit it into the standard back - no bulges, no NFC issues (presumably, I don't use it), and no impact on the ability for cases to fit.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Flame Red:
Is there a thread for how to do this MOD? I have the OEM back but I do not use it because I cannot find a case that fits the OEM back and also works with the Sammy Docking stations.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I haven't seen one. There's a YouTube clip that shows after the process, but nothing that explains it directly (that I've found). Having said that, it's pretty easy. You just unseparate the QI back halves with a screwdriver, and then remount the innards into the standard back. you can minimise bulge by filing down some solder connections. That's pretty much it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
OK you inspired me and I just tried it. Went very smoothly.

That's great. Well done.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] A|ex:
just get the coil, stick it into stock back cover and then buy any case. job sorted and it has been working fine for my family of note 4s perfectly fine across 5 different qi charging pads.

i use the spigen capsule case or thin armor
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
Yes, I have it. Don't use it anymore because I had to claw out the stylus every time.

Found a Bumper

Hello guys i found an Bumper on amazon (germany, but think its avaiable wordwide if u r searching) where a user said in his review: "dieser Bumpfer funktioniert zusammen mit dem Akku-Lade-Deckel" It means: This Bumper is working with the QI Charging back!

I dont know if u like it, but it seems to work :)

Here a Picture:[IMG="Pic"]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51yiD%2B%2BDmnL.jpg[/IMG]

Here is a link to the same case for US customers: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N9100 Border Bumper Case, Slim Armor Border Shockproof Bumper Frame Case Cover, Retail Packaging,Black
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] riff70:
Registered my Note 4 with Samsung, and used my 50% off coupon for the wireless charging back. Should have it Monday 3/23. Once I have it I'm going to do the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 wireless QI Charging Modification, since I'll be using an Otterbox. Search youtube for it, since I cannot post an outside link yet. Essentially you remove the wireless coil from the wireless back and mount it inside the stock back.

I'll report back next week on my findings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Sokudoningyou:
It's not a perfect fit, but if you really don't mind the sides not having the same lip as it does with the normal back, the Verus Thor case mostly fits with the QI back. The top and corners, actually, fit perfectly; it's just the sides that aren't correct. They end up being more flush with the phone than before.

I'm going to do the mod myself, but I figured I'd post that here if anyone else has a Thor and doesn't mind the slight bulge.

Nillkin Bumper Case

I bought one - and I have since stopped using it after finding cracks on the top and bottom. Not sure if it was because of a small drop (1 foot onto a wooden desk) or if it was because I had to keep adjusting it all the time. It is definitely not a perfect fit with the Qi charging back - but the front lip will fit and all buttons will work correctly. I'm not sure if it was cracked before the crack either - only noticed it after inspecting the case.

There were never any

serious

drops prior to my discovering of the cracks - but decided to give up on the case anyways and switch back to the UAG with the Extraction Mod.

The crack locations were just besides the headphone port and the bottom mic ( the enlarged hole to fit both standard Note 4 and Verizon microphones )

View attachment 3223682

The bottom one looks like a scratch, but the crack is exposed if pressure is applied.

I'm sorry ^^

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adelmundo:
I just got my OEM Samsung Qi battery back cover. I already own this case, the Spigen Slim Armor so I was worried that it wouldn't fit. But once I received the Qi back cover, I tried it with the Spigen Slim Armor case and it fits quite well. Snug but I didn't have to really force on the TPU part or the hard plastic part. Even charges through the case as well, using a Nokia DT-900 Qi wireless charger.

http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Case-Spigen-Armor/dp/B00MAWQPJQ

All ports accessible, no blockage of microphone and speaker holes, power and volume buttons work just fine, S-Pen slides out easily, and can plug in a headphone jack no problem. Good fitting case in fact. Pics included.

EDIT: The only thing that you lose the use of is the heart rate monitor. It makes the sensor much more deeply recessed now so that it is almost impossible to press it and get a good heart rate read. Not a deal breaker for me in my book.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] GTCC:
Jesus what did you take those photos with?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adelmundo:
My old Note 2, unfortunately taken in the evening with just a fluorescent desk lamp.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] capriquarian:
Dont buy this case. On my second one. They crack near the s-pen port without major drops. i assume the pen flap is too tight which acts as a wedge, against the hard plastic case. Its a shame, I liked the dust flaps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
I have tried two different bumpers. They have a raised lip that means the back won't be flush with certain chargers. It did not work at all for my airdock there was nowhere for the nanosuction foam to grip.

Really the only happy solution I found was to move the electronics to the stock back. Then I could use any case. It actually was not a very scary procedure.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nektoinphx:
yeah, I got that case, and it worked for a little while, but it doesn't snap on to the bottom, and eventually had small cracks in it, since the plastic was always bent. I have the white note 4 with white inductive back... not sure if the white is thicker than the black, but whatever.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Do you mind telling us what screen protector is that on your Note 4? thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] diehardbattery:
To be honest I'm not sure. I got it at a local mall kiosk and had them install it. That was a few months ago.. I have an S6 Edge now as well. If you were wondering if it had the halo around the edges, it did. Definitely would have worked harder to find out if it didn't... Sorry I wasn't more help...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Not a problem, the halo was my next q, and you already answered it, thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] svnyster:
I can confirm that stretching out the Tech21 Impactology case will make it fit. Holes line up fine, buttons work great.

If the Sheer Glam case fits, I wonder if other Case-Mate cases like the Naked Tough Case or Brushed Aluminum Case would fit. Amazon has the Naked Tough Case pretty cheap right now (link).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Not sure. That glam case looked pretty unique.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Don't buy the naked tough case. I just received it and it just fits my Note 4 wiht the ordinary cover, I doubt it will fit the Qi back cover. And it also does not offer any protection to the back camera. I also have a tempered glass installed and the lips of the tough case if flush with the tempered glass.. too bad..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adelmundo:
So I have been using this case now for about a month and it's still going great. Still fits nicely on my phone and has actually protected my phone after a 4 foot drop on concrete (not a blemish on my phone). BTW I have a Zagg Glass Invisishield screen protector on my phone as well and the Spigen Slim Armor does not interfere with it. I think this is probably the best combo I have found so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nikc0069:
Does the Samsung wireless charging back have the same profile at the sides? Ie if using it with a metal number will the metal bumper still fit in the same way?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ckhan:
SliM Armour with Charging cover

I am using The Slim Armour Aluminium and its a bit of a stretch to get on when new but is OK after a while when the need to clean out comes about from dirt getting into the back of the case through the camera opening as there is a slight gap.

The mic holes and headphone ports all line up great, but the stylus is a little bit of a pain to get out as it just catches on the metal bumper.

The original charging cover with this case is the perfect combination for me I have found, and using a Nokia DT-910 charging stand (modified slightly) is perfect :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mrm1:
I know at the beginning of this thread someone said neo hybrid does not fit but tried it anyway. Neo Hybrid Metal will fit. All ports line up and s pen slides out ok. Only issue is a slight gap by the camera. It is a tight fit mind but i recon the back will relax slightly over time being i bit flexible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Steve_God:
For info, I've just bought an official wireless charging back plate, and this Tech 21 tactical case: https://www.tech21.com/classic-tactical-note-4-case-black.html

On first attempt it wouldn't fit, but using the hairdryer trick that others have recommended worked a treat!

The case feels just as tight and secure as it does without the wireless back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lakid06:
Pics please

Would you be able to upload pics of what it looks like with spgen neo hybrid metal?? I have the neo hybrid but dont think it will because its so tight. Does it affect the rubber lip that keeps the screen from touching the desk?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] matthew2926:
I just modified one of the Samsung protective cases (the blue one in my case) to work almost perfectly with the OEM wireless charging battery cover for the Note 4. What you have to do is, take a hair dryer and apply heat to the case along the seam where the black TPU meets the blue plastic back. While applying heat, gently pull the TPU away from the plastic back. The TPU and the plastic (blue) back don't actually separate fully, but the gap that is created allows the Note 4 with the wireless battery door to fit wonderfully IMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] vikramdhani:
Mind sharing the pictures for all of us to know and try it ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] matthew2926:
Sure, I will try to post them on Monday, as I am out of town until then. Also, I did this mod to the case about a week ago, and since then, the case no longer covers the side edges by the volume and power buttons as well as it did when I first used the heat to melt the case. It still fits and protects the phone very well IMO, but you can take a look for yourself when I get the pics up. It's almost as if the case partially went back to its original form days after the heat was applied (which confuses me greatly).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] artofwar:
Does any wallet/folio style case work with the Samsung Wireless Charging back cover?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhford:
I have the same case and followed your hair dryer instructions, but no go. The sides of the case just won't properly overlap the side edges of the phone. Any suggestions? I'd sure like to use the blue case.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] matthew2926:
IIRC, you have to heat the seam while bending the edge of the black TPU in towards the middle of the case in order to get it to get it to separate even more. I have a Nexus 6 now though, so I can't verify.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samlis:
hi what about Note 4 Wireless Charging Cover?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mangui:
There is information and a video on how to remove the coil from the Samsung Wireless Backcover. If you remove the coil and place it and use the stock cover (Non Wireless), all cases fit. I did mine and I use the spigen neo hybrid metal without any problems. I believe all cases fit with this mod.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhford:
I know, but then you can't remove the battery and it defeats the purpose of removability.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mangui:
That is incorrect, you can remove the battery. The coil is not permanently attached, just unclipped and remove the coil then remove the battery. I will agree that it is an extra step to remove the coil, but then again it is also an extra step to remove the Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Cover and from experience it takes longer to do the cover than the coil.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhford:
OK, you win. I did it. The removal process was about a 15 minute job; tedious. I installed the coil and it charges. That was neat to see.; pretty cool. It fits my official Samsung blue case, which I like a lot, perfectly. I haven't done a battery swap yet, but detaching and reattaching the coil shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for setting me straight.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stoatwblr:
my 3rd party Qi back works fine with a basic cheap gel case on every Qi charger I have.

Removing the gel doesn't give higher charging currents so the extra 1-2mm spacing clearly isn't bothering it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pashovski:
I just can not get this to work. No matter what I do one side doesn't stay. I will say that the case linked to in the post looks different than the one in the picture. It has a white and black back cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhford:
Which 3rd party back did you buy? I just ordered this one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321858568417
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mrm1:
I use one of these, you loose the Samsung branding on the back, but if you use a case, you probably wont see it anyway. The charging works perfectly in all the cases I have tried it in, including the Spigen Neo Hybrid which has a fairly thich back cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jhford:
I did the hack of removing the coil, etc. from the OEM Samsung case and manually installing it in the phone on top of the battery, but I think swapping batteries will be a total pain the butt. So I have "high hopes" for this 3rd party case.

Case for Note 4 w/OEM Qi Charging backplate

There not and do not intend to make one for the Note 4, i just emailed there support...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stoatwblr:
Same one, in black.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I had an extra OEM S-View Wireless Charging Case, so I used that to extract the coil, and it went perfectly, came out straight as an arrow, not the least bit bent! I placed it on the back and covered it with the standard battery cover and voila! it works. I've tried it with the OEM Samsung Protective cover and it works just fine, charging now. Works with the Samsung Wireless Charging Car Dock as well. Ordered the Neo Hybrid case and it'll be here on Monday, so I'm sure it'll work with that as well.

The only issue I have is that the contacts are rather long, so there's a slight bulge on the back. I'll have to find a way to file them down. I'll probably have to go to Lowe's and get one of those Dremel kits, but the mod worked perfectly for me.

UPDATE: Strange thing, but the mod doesn't seem to be working consistently with any of the cases anymore. It still charges using the charging pad and stand, but the wireless car dock no longer works. It starts charging, then suddenly stops; not sure why, though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nine5raptor:
I don't know that I'd file them. They are likely plated for conductivity. By filing you will take that plating off and decrease the conductivity. They are long to push down on the springs on the other side to ensure good contact even when moving the phone around.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
You make a good point; I guess I can learn to live with the [slight] bulge, as it doesn't seem to really bother anything.

Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I meant to ask you, do you think that using plain double-sided tape or rubber cement to keep the coil apparatus in place on the standard battery door would hurt? Just curious.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nine5raptor:
I use the fonesalesman one and it is double sided taped to the battery itself. You could do it to the back as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I used to do the same thing with the standard wireless cover and the s-view also, but the s-view got too unwieldy for my taste, and the edges kept cutting into my palm every time I used it.

I guess I'll keep using it as is for the time being.

Thanks again for the assistance. [emoji4] [emoji4]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I had noticed that it was mentioned early in this thread that the Spigen Neo Hybrid case didn't fit with the charging cover on.

Well, I managed to pickup a new one of these cases for $5.00, and got it yesterday. While the fit is very snug, it does indeed fit with the charging cover on, and it works flawlessly with the wireless charging stand and charging pad, as well as with the wireless charging car dock (all Samsung).

Just thought I'd mention it. [emoji6]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mgutt:
I bought these two:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Aluminum-All...or-iPhone-4-5-6-Samsung-Galaxy-S/152181848278

http://www.ebay.de/itm/UltraThin-Al...-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-N9100/331363108131

Both fit, but the second cheapier frame pressed the power button by itself only by taking the phone in the hand. The hole of the power button seems to be missaligned here. Instead, the first frame works without problems. The only disadvantage is that the edges are not rounded so it feels a little bit uncomfortable in the hand.

I like the idea of having a frame only, but unfortunately I did not found other versions. Because of that I stay with the first one.

So my wife's EVO is on its last leg with huge black spots covering the screen and she only uses it for calls and facebook would this be a ok upgrade because I am on Sprint and Best Buy has it for a dollar and a $50 gift card. I could get her a better phone but she will not use any of the features so is this a good upgrade or should I get her the something better?
[Moto X Q&A] kvillafana:
The evo LTE is a great phone I loved it but the moto x is better in a lot of ways, functionality, over all performace imo and feel not to say it will be receiving lollipop here hopefully soon the evo won't be getting anything anymore. To conclude if your wife doesn't use much features this phone has a lot of them but if she felt the urge to want to try them they are simple to use and work amazing. I say it is 100% and upgrade. I say forma 1$ and a 50$ gift card. That is an amazing deal go for it!! ???

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benutne:
I've been playing with CM 10 and CM11 on my aging Nook Color. While everything installs and runs, CM10/11 are just plain slow. CM7 is so smooth and fast compared to later versions of Android I just can't get on board with upgrading. Am I missing something? A tweak on CM10/11 that I haven't done? A version of CM10/11 that runs just as well as CM7? I want to upgrade but my experience with later versions of Android so far have left me wanting more.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
Simple answer: no, the more bloated (and they actually are given what they toss into the mechanics of the OS) versions of Android simply require more resources than the old Nook Color is capable of providing to any sufficient degress. I have one myself and even with the CM7 build on it it's excruciatingly slow compared to most anything else.

It's amazing how society in general - and humanity - are "accelerating" more each day where things are just too slow for us. I've been using computers (actual computers) since the mid-1970s almost daily and I distinctly remember times long ago when I was amazed at how fast everything seemed to be with computers. Nowadays when I think back to those times and mentally compare those memories with something today like the smartphone I just sold and how insanely slow those old machines were decades ago and just how fast devices are today, it's crazy to think about.

I was just looking at my Nook Color earlier today wishing there was something I could with it to make it more useful than it is, but honestly it's relegated to nothing but actually being an eBook reader at this point because it's just too damned slow to do much of anything else.

I still love the device but, considering I could (and probably will) get one of those HP Stream 7 tablets for $99 and it runs the full desktop version of Windows - which opens up an entire universe of potential things to do with it - I have to say sometimes I hate technology for how fast it's progressing too.
