Let's try to gather a list of cases that are compatible with the wireless charging cover, since it has been confirmed to be thicker here http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/...rging-cover-review-with-samsung-charging-pad/

Like all the other wireless charging back cover samsung has on their other phones, no 3rd party manufacturer is going to mold a case for it. There's just no profit for the small population that will buy the wireless back cover.

hmm I sure some 3rd party's in China would throw some gel cases together.
They will make good $$ off them
Anyone have a connection with Chines manufacture...a friend of a friend etc?

UPDATE:
Ive purchased a few cases from this ebay seller in the past they are great quality - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171254663051&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

Well.. I wouldn't call stretching the TPU rubber to extend fit, an actual form fitting case.

If you read this S4 thread; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333725&page=10

You can see that even to this date, there is no real 'made for wireless charging' back case available.

Well I just ordered Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case [Rev. 2] for Samsung Galaxy S5 lol
By the looks stretch can be possible with heat gun

that's why Samsung should sell their phones with wireless covers from day one with the phone to not cause this problems.they only want to make more money and make things difficult to people that wanna use protective covers.
I really wanna this cover because i want to stay with the phone with water resistance but this are the things that makes me not want to use it

With my note 3 and the genuine wireless charging back I was able to use my uag navigator. Hoping the same for the s5.

Cheers I try that and hope it works. Ideally I want to use a Candy Shell but I'm fairly certain it won't fit.

I wish Samsung had included this from the start. Now it's not worth a case makers time/money to make compatible cases.

I got a third party wireless receiver pad (which is used with the standard non wireless cover) on Amazon and my Spigen Slim fit case still fits, though there is a very slight (but almost unnoticeable) bulge where the wireless receiver is.

Currently the only cases that would work with the Samsung wireless charging cover are basic bumper type cases. Had the same issue on my Note 3.

The thing about 3rd party wireless receiver pad is that you lose your IP67 (water/dust proof), thats why most of us wants the official one

True, depending on thickness of the wireless receiver. I personally don;t intend to use my phone under water, or leave it in the glass of water next to my bed, and leave it in my pocket when in the loo, so not a big issue for me personally

Seriously though, there is very little chance that case manufacturers will make cases specifically for the S5 that has the standard wireless charging cover on (and if they do, they will be more expensive to compensate for limited demand), so if we want to use our slim fit / rugged cases AND have wireless charging, we may need to do without water / dust proof. If you do get

marcochapita · May 12, 2014

Or use a normal cover for a daily use. And when you arrive home that's where most of the people have their wireless pads. Switch covers. It's the only idea I think it's rubbish but yes. I agree with the statement above. The manufactures only gonna do cases for the phone that's released . Unless there was something that made the manufacturer's realise they can get a lot of money of. Doing new cases.

another way is to get wireless charging backcover and put a skin on it, but im not sure if it gona look good, because the skin is made for the normal backcover

Or use a bumper

The only way to know for sure is to try. Go to a store and see if it fits. I used a UAG navigator case on my note 3 with wireless cover just fine. On my S4 I used a tech 21 and a Spigen neo hybrid as well.

no manufacture will start a new production line for one case just for the this purpose.
