I just got the Samsung wireless charger and it is very nice, with a nice design, BUT it is very 'sensitive". What I mean, is that if you move the phone even a 1/4 of an inch away from the center, it will stop charging.
The Chinese knockoff it has no such problem.
So, go ahead and get the cheap ones. ...
Other than that, everything works perfectly with this mod.

I opened my phone and thought about doing this mod, but running the wire, even a very thin one, causes the speaker cavity to not properly mate to the PCB and chassis the way it's described, which screws up several things:
- Acoustic seal around the microphone no longer seals the mic tunnel to the microphone. This will screw up noise cancellation and call audio.
- Less tension on the speaker and antenna contacts means at some point those connections can become intermittent. No thanks.
- Dust seal around the USB connector no longer seals off the rest of the phone from dust. I don't want dust getting deep into the phone through the USB connector.
The only way to do this mod reliably is to route the wire outside the speaker cavity module, not under it, and have it enter the target solder point through the tiny space between the die-cast chassis and the cavity module in the middle of the module, but then the phone won't close properly, so a little filing of the plastic is required on the outer edge of the speaker cavity module.
All this trouble while my stock charger can charge the phone twice as fast? I'll stick with the stock charger.
