Can you use a regular case with this back and still charge wirelessly?

Some cases will work with Samsung's QI back cover. It thickens the phone by 2mm. The gel or silicon cases have enough flex to fit. I have a Caseology Slim Fit Skin that fits without modification & a Belkin Candy Case (w/minor modification) that fits as well. The GS5 charges with either case, doesn't get warm while charging. The Samsung QI back cover is the way to go.

No, it will not fit. It will charge perfectly, though you will be hard pressed to find a case that will work with the Samsung wireless charger back. It is twice the thickness of the original cover so any snug case will not fit properly, if at all.

It will charge through a regular case; however, it is hit and miss as to whether or not a regular case will fit properly.

I have the wireless charging back on my Galaxy S5, and my Magpul Industries Galaxy S5 Field Case fit on it. It is a great case. Once I switched out the regular back with the wireless charging back, it was a little harder to snap the case on, but it does fit and I have no problem charging through the case either. I highly recommend the Magpul case for the S5.

I tried using jelly case and charge without any issue, but you cannot fit a standard case unto it...

I couldn't - I tried a Otterbox, Ballastic, Speck, Samsung & Lifeproof. None of those cases will fit over the backplate. Apparently there are some silicon only cases that will stretch to fit, but I wanted the protection on one of the higher brands. As too if it will charge through the case, I can't say - never had a case that would fit.

It all depends on the type of case. A normal case, such as Otterbox, Lifeproof, Speck, etc will not work with the phone once this cover is installed and therefore they also won't work with the wireless charging pad. However, the cheaper silicon cases will sometimes support the wireless charging feature, I say sometimes because while these cases mostly work there have been occasions where they did not work.

hi Scott,im sorry but i was wondering same thing awhile back when i was in the market to buy wireless charger,lol.the case is pretty thick on the backside so...?

from my experience i would say no. the reason is that the wireless charging back is slightly thicker than the one that comes with the phone. this case is designed to hug the phone like a glove.

I'm not really sure what's the question is but if you are asking can you use a wireless charger or a charger with the case on a phone yes is the answer.

Hi Sam, I am not sure about a wireless charger, but you can use the charger that comes with it while it is in the case.

I don't own a wireless charger, so I don't know. Sorry. It might need more direct contact without the case on

The original back doesn't have the wireless charger capabilities, you have to get this piece or a qi wireless charging adapter, this case here is the best option. The other ones make the back stick out too much.

nope :(. i am still searching for a case with a stand that fits the wireless charging back.

I have tried several cases and the thicker charging back will not fit in any of them. Otterbox included.. I use a jel case that almost fits when I charge wireless. The charger works great.

In response to questioning from Nick, it is not possible to use the wireless charger with the case attached. It is necessary to withdraw it to fit the device on the charger. Felipe Obs. Bought this case to give away, do not have it on hand, but the person assured me that is not possible!

Yes, same as the stock back. There is a seperate one that adds QI wireless charging for $10.00 more from Samsung.

You don't need any case for your phone, the wireless charging ability is built into the phone. You can charge the phone with a case on it, I have the otterbox on it and it charges fine though the case.

I would guess not. I had to get a case especially designed for the charging cover. It's not that they interfere with wireless charging, it's that the added thickness of the back makes cases very difficult to fit.

The original backplate that came with your phone is not a wireless Charging cover. With respect to Wireless charging though, any "QR Type" (pronounced "chi") charging Pad will work with your phone. Just make sure that you purchase either the wireless charging adapter insert or a cover that has it built in.

I don't think so. I haven't tried the wireless charger feature. Is doesn't add a lot of bulk at all but it's still thick enough I think to interfere with the wireless charger feature.

No, wireless charging works great with the case on or off. No difference between the two.

ABSOLUTELY!!! But, you will need the charging module, or a modified case that has the module built into the case. I absolutely love my wireless charging pads. I have 3 of them all together(table next to my lazyboy, on my office desk, and dresser next to my bed). I know that seems a little excessive but, you will see once you have one, It's soooo nice, not to have to look for the end of a charger to plug in, and for that matter, not to have to look for a charger PERIOD! &#9734;&#9734;&#9734;&#9734;&#9734;
