Can this case still allow the S5 to be charged on a wireless charging pad? If so, how?

Dear Blu-dog, it is required to have dedicated Samsung wireless charging back cover in order to charge your S5 wirelessly. Here is the link to that charging cover: Samsung Galaxy S5 Case Wireless Charging Battery Cover - BlackThe current version of Unity does not have wireless charging capability built-in. I have forwarded your request to our engineer team, we will see if we can add that function in the future update. \

I don't think any of the wireless chargers work with any of the cases. I have the Samsung wireless charging back but I can't seem to get it to work with any cases on.

Yes (S5), but you do need the new wireless charging back cover (purchase separately)

The wireless charging does function through the case, but the wireless charging backplate is a little bit thicker than the standard battery cover. So while you can squeeze this case over the phone with the wireless charging backplate we can't say it's a good fit. We designed the case to exactly fit the dimensions of the S5, hence we'd have to release an entirely new version to perfectly fit the wireless backplate. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to do that since that wireless charger isn't too common.

No, wireless charging works great with the case on or off. No difference between the two.

No... they use a physical contact pins in the back of the case for charging. I jerry rigged mine with an after market internal qi pad to make it compatible. Works great.

I believe Samsung sells a specific back cover replacement Sflip cover with the charging capabilities. You would need that and the charging pad in order to charge wirelessly. If you have an original Sflip cover, that would be replaced with a charge capable version.

The S5 "off the shelf" doesn't include Qi wireless charging. You'll need something like this: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-VG900BBUSTA

The Samsung Galaxy S5 includes logic to enable the Qi wireless charging process. According to the Qi specification, communication is one way from the receiver (S5 + receiver coil in this case) to the transmitter (charger pad). The receiver modulates the wireless charging field to send requests back to the charger pad for more or less power. In the case of the S5, it never tells the charger pad to turn off when it's at 100% charge. It tells the charger pad to reduce the charge to a minimum. Other devices, such as the Nexus 4, may tell the charger pad to turn off when it hits 100%.

how does it work with the Galaxy S5 in an Otterbox case and no Qi charging cover?

Thank you for your question. The wireless charger pad can only support 5mm-8mm distance, so it might not be able to charge your S4 with SEIDIO active case

It works with a 3rd party coil that adheres to the battery, but this configuration negates the waterproof seal in the GS5. It does not work with the Samsung wireless charging cover, as this cover is thicker than the plain stock back cover. I found this out the hard way.

I wish I could help, but I don't use a wireless charger. The case is fairly thin. The backside probably measures about 0.75mm in thickness.

I have a Spigen case forced on my S5 until I find a better case that fits the charging cover, and it will NOT charge through it. The charging keeps going on and off unless I take the cover off.

Keep in mind that this is just the adapter for the S5 that does not come with wireless charging built in. Find out whether your phone has this before you purchase it. For the actual charger, I bought this: KoolPad Qi Wireless Charging Pad compatible with Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Note 5, S6 Edge +, iPhone 6S & 6S Plus with iQi Mobile, Galaxy S5, 4 with SlimPWRcard & more (Black) ...and it works, but you have to make sure it's lined up correctly. Just keep in mind that you will need to have a charger if you're out and about, if you need to recharge in a hurry - so you may be SOL if you want to avoid carrying plugs around.

Hi Claudia, Thank you for your inquiry! You do not need to worry! The material of our Flip View cases should not interfere with the wireless charging and NFC. Our cases have a metallic color design, but the material is not metal. All of our Galaxy S5 cases have been made for the original dimensions of your phone. As long as the dimensions of the phone have not changed with the wireless charging cover, there should not be any issues with wireless charging or NFC. Hope that helps!

Sorry, I do have a ballistic cover for my GS5, but I don't know what a wireless charging back cover is
