Incorrect.

Diztronic made one for the S5: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Exclusively-Compatible-Wireless/dp/B00LLM9MQY

I'm sure they'll make one for the Note 4 within a month or two, it's the most popular Samsung phone now.

Honestly I hate cases. I wanted the original samsung charging back as i've always used the stick on kind for many samsung phones and have always found that you lose features, create bulges, and they don't always work that great. I have always battled with my hate of cases and my obsession with the newest phones. In the past I always sold my phones on the secondary market and wanted to retain their resale value. recently we went to the EDGE program because we have a family share plan. So my phones will simply be traded in to VZ. I checked with them on their condition requirements for traded edge phones and the consistent answer was that they didnt care about scratches and such as long as the screen wasnt broken and there was no water damage. so that made my decision EASY!. Original sammy back and NO ugly bulky case! YAY!. Insurance covers the accidental breakage issue.

Niilkin bumper just went live today on mobilefun. Hoping it might work
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lawalty:
DITTO!

This note4 is a thing of beauty, and covering it up with a peice of rubber simply makes it look like every other black phablet on the market.

I'm on the next program with at&t, and will eventually trade my note4 back in when another upgrade phone comes out. They also don't care of minor screen scratches, only broken screens and water damage.

Caseology case works perfect with the OEM wireless charging back. A little snug but can't tell when in hand.

I looked at that URL and under questions someone asked about fitting the Qi Back. 3 people said no. Did you have to modify it? Do the cutouts still line up?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] svetlik:
Looks promising, did you order one? If so please report back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] big70tom:
No I didn't. I have two TETDED leather diary types and the Naked Tough. I'm spent out for a while
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
No mods, straight out of box. The only thing I noticed that differed from the stock backing is that the case is a little tougher to get on...meaning you have to groove the plastic into the tpu a tad harder.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
I had it for awhile (bought it directly from Ali Express). It works with the Qi cover, but otherwise I pretty much hate it:

1. It is a bit of a loose fit and the lip does not always go securely over the front edge of the phone.

2. The lip does not take into account the curved glass, so it's elevation over the surface of the glass is very minimal. I do not think it would provide any screen protection if the phone is dropped face down on the pavement (#1 contributes to this). This lip issue with curved glass seems to be an issue with other cases as well though.

3. Buttons are hard to press and identify by touch.

4. They placed and elevated Nillikin badge on the side of the phone that looks and feels like a button. What's worse it's located where power button would be if the phone was flipped upside down. This is extremely annoying because it makes it impossible to determine by touch if I am holding the phone correctly (and actually pressing a button).

5. The microphone holes, while aligned, create an echo when in speaker mode. Echo is bad enough to make the speaker mode unusable. I made the holes larger by using a red hot nail followed by some Dremel love. It fixed the echo, but it looks pretty ugly.

All in all, I am barely tolerating this case. Ali Express now has more bumper cases, and I ordered 3 different ones. At couple of bucks a piece they are pretty cheap. Hopefully at least one of them is better than Nillikin.

Any issues with buttons being too easy to press/accidental presses?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
Yeah the power button is easier to press with the charging back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] @home:
Man that's ugly. Spoils the beauty of the Note 4.

Sorry Dude.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
Lol....no need to be sorry, I agree with you. I never go without a case though, I'd rather cover up this gorgeous phone rather than have to a) look at a broken screen everyday , or b) pay a deductible to have it repaired/replaced. It also never helps when the selection of cases is limited due to fit with my wireless charging back----basically it came between this case and one of the cheaper generic TPU cases that sort of fit and looked like $hit.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
Thanks a bunch for the recommendation. I just got it, and so far, this is my favorite case, with or without Qi back. But, BUT, I guess it's fairly thick, and now my phone does not fit into my car's Qi charging holder. Arrgh! Unfortunately, I don't think there is another Qi car charger that fits bigger phones and has one touch operation :(.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
Yeah I don't have a qi car charger so it hasn't been a downfall for this case for me but I'd imagine the bulk would stop the ability to use the case with any car charger.

i work a lot outdoors and sweat a lot during the summers. therefore, i need a case with a holster. the seidio doesnt work with the qi back, and that makes me very sad. i'm considering buying another phone off of craigslist and just getting the liquipel service on my phone and maybe just getting one of these holsterless cases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
The SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE for the NOTE4 comes w/a holster clip.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ford12acing:
Is that a plastic screen protector? i've been using tempered glass protectors and now i can't go back!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
It's plastic/removable.

I don't use screen protectors,so,it's a non-issue for myself.

However,w/the QI-Battery cover,I'd find the thinnest tempered glass protector & go w/that,as the fit is tighter than normal vs a non-QI Battery cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] strap97:
I have the supcase unicorn bettle pro, and like previously stated it's a tight fit. One issue I'm having is the volume up button doesn't line up. It's not a deal breaker for me,because of the protection the case offers and port covers. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue or not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
I'm not having the (volume) button alignment,but,then again,I'm not using the accompanying screen protector.

Would try it out,however,I jettisoned the screen protector on Day-One.

For everyone else interested,could you check the fit-function of the buttons w/o the screen protector installed?

Perhaps that's the difference in fit/function.

As you stated,it's a tight fit as-is,it probably wouldn't take much to throw off the button alignment.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] strap97:
I'm not using the screen protector that came with the case, but i do have a skinomi screen protector on my phone. Hope it works out for others looking for protection.

Problem solved: Just completed the QI wireless charging mod. Now this case and I'm sure all others will fit like intended.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
Users on Amazon say that the screen protector is used to hold the phone in place and that it's impossible to use the case without it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
That may be,without the QI-Enabled battery cover,but,that is not the issue here,as everyone here is looking for a case that is usable w/the QI-Enabled battery cover.

If I can find the stock battery cover,I'll check for fit/function w/o the screen protector.

I'm assuming the reviewer is speaking of a loose fit w/o either the screen protector or the QI-Enabled battery cover & the stock cover installed in its place.

If that proves to be the case,then that review is moot here,as no one is concerned w/fit w/o the QI-Enabled battery cover installed .
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
No, no, I am specifically looking for a case compatible with Qi covers. So thank you for the good news. I actually ordered it, and cancelled after seeing that answer (I hate built in screen protectors). So now, I guess I'll have to order it again lol.

I am currently using the Caseology case that was recommended earlier in this thread, but after awhile found a significant problem with it. It does fit the case with Qi back, but the openings for the USB connector and the S-pen are pushed too far to the back. That means that you can only use the slimmest of USB connectors and even those are misaligned dangerously. Also S-pen is very hard to remove (it hits side of the cutout) which kills the convenience.

I am eager to try this one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
If you'd like to wait before re-ordering,I'll check the fit/functionality w/the S-PEN & USB Connector when I return home this evening.

The USB I rarely use,ditto w/S-PEN & only got this case for extreme instances when dropping/falling out-of-pocket are more probable than possibile (working outdoors on rooftops/ladders/etc...).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] railshot:
That would be great. Thank you very much!

OK,just got in & here's the verdict on fit/functionality w/S-PEN & USB for [SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE PRO + OEM SAMSUNG QI-Battery Cover w/o any screen protectors]:

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-body-Protective-Protector-Resistant/dp/B00MP3OZME

No issues w/access to S-PEN or USB CONNECTOR WHATSOEVER.

It was virtually effortless,just peel back the protective flaps & there is plenty of access/room to all ports/mics/S-PEN/etc......

As to the AMAZON comment/rating stating the case/phone is unusable/etc/whatev w/o the provided screen protector installed........ :rolleyes:

Total B.S. AFAICT,as I installed the stock OEM non-QI Cover w/case & no screen protector & the fit was fine,not loose at all & of course,full access to all ports/mics/etc.....

So,the only X-Factor remaining is assembly w/various screen protectors.

Even then,some here have removed the guts of the QI-Cover & installed on the stock cover & are free to use any case they wish.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57688077&postcount=33

I may do this myself if I find myself looking around for other cases,but,I'm good w/what I have ATM.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tornaszer:
Just received a lime green Supcase Beetle Pro as mentioned earlier in this thread for my OEM Qi-back Verizon DE Note 4. I removed the attached plastic screen protector and slipped the phone into the front cover, then the case.

With the Zagg glass screen cover it fits almost perfectly but there is definitely some pressure from the Supcase cover onto the Zagg. There is some minor deformity now in the edge liftoff pattern inherent in fitting glass to a rounded phone screen. Maybe any stress on the Zagg will relieve itself maybe not. It's only visible on a dark screen and the concern is for any stress it may impart to the screen.

Although still not a perfect solution for this setup it's better protection than the Diztronic case yet certainly bulkier.

My Qi charger, an itian 3-coil with its stock charger , works fine through this case.

I'll try the holster see how that holds up.

I do like this Supcase despite and because of the added bulk!

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ford12acing:
i have the unicorn beetle, skinomi glass, and the oem samsung qi cover. it works. it's not a 100% fit, but it works, and so does qi charging. i know for a fact it doesn't fit the seidio case. for now, this will do. i wish samsung shipped the note 4 from the factory with the qi back, so we wouldn't have to go through all this, but alas. this is how it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] riverob:
I was thinking about installing a Qi. Does the phone overheat in any way while charging wirelessly? TIA
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Charging via QI method produces more heat vs. standard wired connections.

Try to use the OEM QI receiver tag (from the stock OEM QI-ENABLED Battery Cover if doing the mod to use the stock battery cover), the stock OEM QI-ENABLED Battery Cover or, a receiver tag as close to 1amp & no lower than 75amp to prevent getting into a loop of sorts.

Lower rated receivers will create more heat, slowing down charge times, which create more heat, etc... hence the "loop" analogy.

I have a small desktop fan placed next to my QI charging set-up to eliminate excess heat & full charge times are less than 2hrs from as low as 5%.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] svetlik:
My phone gets hotter with the samsung factory quick charger (white cable + white charger that supports the new quick charge standard), than it does with my Qi chargers. I do tend to buy the higher quality chargers that often have triple coils. I've never picked up my phone from wireless charging and had it be hot. Sure it's a bit warm, but nowhere close to where I'd worry.

Maybe it's because the wireless chargers prop up the phone so there's more air underneath.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
That's been a topic of discussion that I've had an interest in (Quick Charger temperatures & possible long-term effects from it).

It does stand to reason that if it generates more heat vs. other charging methods,possible premature wear & tear on the battery & phone will result.

My Quick Charger is still in the box, haven't used it once.

Just as you, I haven't noticed any temperatures while QI Charging that would cause alarm (TYLT) & agree that the design of the stand lends itself to dissipation of some of the heat generated while charging.

Just for added measure,a small USB desktop fan is placed next to my charging station.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
In regards to the quick charger, I share the concern of the two posters above. I was using the quick charger exclusively but stopped last week due to heat and battery life concerns. It seems to have recovered maybe an hour of Screen-On-Time time but that's subjective due to usage variance; I get 5.5 to 10.5 hours SOT per charge that may get me one to two days between charges.

I thought I'd be interested in wireless charging or battery swapping but the cases I have don't remove and replace so quickly and I don't want the heat or the bulk of wireless charging.

If I continue to get a day plus between charging, I'll most likely stay primarily with quick charge disabled and stay with the original battery until SOT drops.

The quick charger would still come in handy at times. I'd suggest limited use, as needed.

Ventilation is an excellent idea. Anyone using the Nillkin Armor bumper case with original Samsung Qi case? I'm wondering if it actually accommodates better heat dissipation with the suggested air gap with ventilation vs full case? I'd also like to see some pictures to get an idea of the added bulk with Samsung Qi case. Might consider adding wireless charging later.

Seidio SURFACE Case with Metal Kickstand and Holster Combo for Samsung Galaxy Note 4

i use the Seidio SURFACE Case with Metal Kickstand and Holster Combo for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Retail Packaging - Black Link: http://amzn.com/B00NJEGHHO It fits snug you have to push it on then it works great, even wireless charging with Samsung OEM charging back not modded..:)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Does wireless charging reduce the overall lifespan of the Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Phone doesn't heat, it's the inducting coil on the reciever that gets warm.

When you first feel your phone as hot, take off the back and pull the battery, it will be cool underneath where the phone guts are.

No worries.... The heat is temporary and quickly mellows once the battery gets most of its charge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
I have tried many many cases at this point, here is what I found as far as compatibility with the Samsung OEM charging back.

I will also list with my car's first gen Airdock with the awesome "microsuction foam". (It need a smooth "glossy" flat surface)

I am not using a tempered glass screen protector yet so that is not factored in.

All the cases that fit charged fine. In addition to the Airdock I have a TYLT and a Keedox

Joto - My favorite so far

With kickstand

No kickstand

Both models of Joto Armor work with the Samsung OEM charging back.

It take a low moderate amount of pressure to get snapped in but it stays fine.

The kickstand model is gigantic and bulky but quite protective.

The non-kickstand model also works but is nice and slim. This is the best case I have found so far.

The protective lip on the front is minimal I wish it stuck out more.

It covers the corners but not as well as the Ballistic Urbanite.

It is reasonably grippy despite being glossy.

It works fine with my Airdock, both adhere perfectly to the micro suction foam.

Rubber buttons work fine. I think they stick out a bit too much on the kickstand model but non-is perfect.

Holes align just fine on my Verizon phone.

Balistic Urbanite - I wish this fit!!!

Urbanite smooth white

Urbanite grippy black

Will not fit no matter how much pressure used.

Super slim and really protective.

Good lip and highly padded corners.

White model is Airdock compatible but black is not.

Black model is grippy and rubberized.

White model is glossy smooth but stick pretty grippy.

Rubber buttons work fine.

Holes align just fine on my Verizon phone.

MyBat MyBumper - Fits but not protective enough,

MyBat MyBumper

Fit easily

Adds almost no bulk

No corner drop protection.

Raised lip on back means that not airdock compatible.

Rubber Buttons a little too squishy.

Holes are a bit off.

Case-Mate - Sheer Glam Case

Case-Mate - Sheer Glam Case - Champagne

Fits great, no pressure needed.

Protective but I bet it would crack easily, corners are not rubberized.

Not too bulky, about the same size as the non-kickstand Joto.

Can't stand the glittery surface, too much "bling" factor.

Very smooth and glossy. Slip prone.

Airdock compatible.

Holes align just fine on my Verizon phone.

Metallic buttons that stick out but work nicely.

I ordered the Seidio Surface and I will update when I recieve it.

The fit was just about perfect. However, the case is too thick for my desktop charger to charge. So I cut a hole in the back of the underlying soft cover off the back right by the antenna and it works now.
