Great Charging Back

I really like this charging back. While it doesn't fit some of the phone cases it fits the Spigen: Neo Hybrid case - just a little snug but it fits.
I would recommend this to a friend!

G S4 Wireless charging great but tough to find cases

Expertise:Intermediate
The charger works great for charging the G S4 phone but I have had problems with reading NFC Tech Tile 2 tags. Second, the back cover is appreciably thicker than the standard cover that comes with the phone so finding a case that fits is next to impossible. Samsung please fix the embedded NFC antenna and make the back cover thinner so the phone can be compatible with most protective cases.
Pros: Durable, excellent charging, stays cool
Cons: too thick, nfc doesn't work
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Charging Back

Placed this one on my Galaxy s4 and it worked great. Perfect fit, great charging features. The only drawback is, it makes the phone a little thicker and it is hard to find cases to fit. Other than that, it is great.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight

Plate will not support NFC tag reading

Unfortunately the manufacturer designed wireless charging cover plate prevents the phone from reading NFC tags.
The entire effort to have a wireless device is nullified by this wireless charging cover design.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice option for the phone with limitations

So I tried this cover out for basically a night before I decided it wasn't really going to work for me. The cover is slightly bigger than the original that comes with the phone. Because of this, certain popular "water animal brand"cases do not fit very well over the phone while having this cover on. In particular the space around the camera is thicker and isn't recessed like the original. This causes the case to not snap close and fit over the phone. You can force the outer rubber case over the phone, but this does increase the pressure put on the phone in other areas. It did however still charge through the case, and even through some other items between the charger and phone. The cover also does add some weight to the phone. All in all this wouldn't be a bad cover and a pretty awesome way to charge the phone,if you can get by the fact it has to sit straight on the charger or it doesn't charge, won't really fit well with hard cases and the extra weight that it brings.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, doesn't work with all cases

Needs improvement

This product does work well, however, cases do not fit. The phone is left unprotected because the back is to thick to fit in 99% of cases made. The one Otterbox that I got to fit- mostly -still does not allow complete access to the ports. At the very least Samsung could make cases specifically for this bulkier backing. Or being a leader in the industry make the product less bulky.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Too big
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
