Works well but wont fit in a case now

I bought this to enable QI charging on my Galaxy S5. While it works well for that specific purpose, I now can not find ANY protective case that fits with this back on. My $30.00 Otterbox is completely useless with this installed. It wouldn't fit without a MASSIVE rework. Looking for inductive chargers for this phone - Look somewhere else...
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The extra thickness makes it hard to find a case

The extra thickness makes it hard to find a case. There aren't any cases out there yet that support the extra bulkiness from the wireless back.
Pros: it charges
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only had it a short time and works as designed. Still water resistant and well charges wireless. Heads up on the new back, it is larger then the stock back. I thought I could slid it back in its case... Nope it broke..
Cons: larger then stock back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What was Samsung Thinking???

I won't buy this item because according to the reviews herein the charging back is too big to allow the phone to fit into any protective hard case.
I really *love* my Galaxy S-5 - Voice, Screen, Data, Texts, Sensors, Camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apps: All great.
I took care to protect my S-5 with a hard case and matching belt holster but Samsung seems to have ignored the practical popularity of hard cases when designing the back that allows for wireless charging. This, after promising 'Wireless Charging'. I wouldn't be complaining so loudly if Samsung had at least produced a serviceable case and belt holster that fits the new form.
Pros: interfaces wireless charger with phone
Cons: Did not meet expectations, makes phone too big to fit protective cases
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

black wireless charger cover
on May 17, 2014
Posted by: webbo
this is awful product! yeah it looks the same but it makes the s5 a whole lot heavier and thicker so your aftermarket and genuine samsung cases are rendered useless, i bought one and sent it straight back for a refund. there are other ways of making the s5 suitable for wireless charging and this case simply is not it!
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations, won't work with a large case
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
