Why not just buy..... http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wirel...17207446&sr=8-2&keywords=wireless+charging+s5
Its OEM. Its built into the backing. And keeps the seal.

Because you can't use many cases I'm with it. I'm assuming thats the reason others don't like the factory one. I just don't understand why samsung doesnt include qi built in to begin with.

Because it severely limits which cases you can use because it makes the phone thicker.

i got the OEM samsung s5 wireless battery cover that you linked above, and ever since i put it on the phone it says 'check battery cover' on the screen. The seal doesn't seem too good on the top right and next to the headphone jack, and it definitely doesn't feel like it is still ip67... has this happened to anyone else? Maybe I got a bad one..

Maybe user error
It's made/designed by Samsung so there's no reason it shouldn't work as well as the standard back. In my opinion, the standard back doesn't "feel" ip67 either, so how much worse could it be?The check battery cover message pops up on every phone running the standard at&t rom. It is just flashed onto the screen, no matter if the cover is on right, on wrong, or not on at all.
Now, that being said, the seal around the back cover that keeps the water out of the phone, only works when there is nothing interfering with the seal. ALL aftermarket Qi charger cards interfere with that seal, and WILL cause a water leak.
The factory charging back is designed to seal correctly, and wireless charge properly. When you are looking at the cost of the phone, $39 isn't much to pay for Qi charging if that is important to you, and there are some cases that will fit over the charging case.
Yes, it would be nice to have more choices, but at least there are some out there already.

can you dunk underwater to see if it still water proof
Yes. After receiving $600 check in the mail.
On a serious note, if you are concerned about water resistance, you should get the Samsung OEM case.
I've used the Qi $10 kit from Ebay. So far so good. Just have to place the phone just right on the charging pad; appears to be because of the the camera and speaker bump-outs.

2I just received the S5 SlimPWRcard - 0.5mm Qi Receiver from Fonesalesman. Got it in 2 days, free shipping from Amazon. The RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger / 4800mAh External Battery Pack Charger should be here by Tuesday. I guess the store isn't open on weekends to process my order. I measured the card with a digital micrometer and it's actually thinner than 0.5mm. Doesn't look like water is going to get into the phone but I'm not crazy enough to submerge my phone in water. I took some photos for you guys to see. There's no noticeable bulge when the battery cover is back on and the phone fits into my slim case perfectly. Hope this helps.
22Mine came today. I got this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless.../141251794658?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
It works. I made some modifications.
I peeled one side off to reveal a copper coil, rather than printed design. This thickness is still negligible. The logic board at the top is thicker, and does add a slight bulge to the back. All in all, i pealed both sides off the tag and trimmed off those locating ridges on the battery cover.
I also clipped the corner of the contacts tab so that it wouldn't overlap the flat part of the frame where the seal sits, though the bulge in the cover is enough to give me pause about the watertight-ness, no surprise there though. Looking forward to getting an OEM wireless back..but this will do for now.2Found an ebay seller in the US (California), so I ordered one.
