Do I HAVE to buy one of these covers in order for wireless charger to work with my S4?

If you have an S4 Active (the waterproof one), then you can not do the wireless charging thing - the back cover with the antenna, etc will not fit. If you have a straight S4, then you need to get the back cover with the antenna and the charging pad to charge wirelessly.

Yes you will need to buy the cover in order for the wireless charger to work.

Yes. The S4 doesn't have built in wireless charging. It makes the phone a little thicker but can cause issues when you put it in certain cases.

That or the other style of adapter that fits inside your original battery case.

The phone does not have wireless charging. It needs the antenna and chip built into the accessory cover.

I have seen a wireless kit where you just place your cellphone on top of it and it charges even with a skin on your phone. Just the same not all wireless kit are created with same sensitivity hence its advisable to get the specs of samsung wireless kit to be sure. On the other hand the spigen cover seems to be easy to remove from cell so it will still not be a problem using the wireless charger. :)

No.. for wireless charging you need a specific back cover which has internal point to connect back to battery for wireless charging. This back cover is little thicker in size .. so if you have any full body casing that might also not fit in after installing wireless charging cover.

Only if you can replace the back cover with a charging cover like this:DigiYes Wireless Charger Charging Receiver Module for Samsung Galaxy S3Search Amazon for Galaxy S3 Wireless charging cover

Old question, but I just discovered that the Otterbox Preserver will accommodate an S4 with this wireless backcover, but remember that this particular case may be a problem for you. You can read the reviews for it and figure out if it's something you won't mind carrying on a daily basis. With Pros, there are Cons. GL!

I use the Anker Qi wireless charger with this cover on my phone with no problem. I do not take the phone out, I leave it snapped into place.

Samsung sells an alternate battery cover for the GS4 to enable Qi charging. Or you could get an after market receiver of you don't mind the extra bulk.

I would not recommend the back cover. It adds just enough gerth to the phone that most cases do not fit properly. You can get a Qi Wireless charging Receiver very cheap, put it behind your current back cover and still use normal cases. The charging base is very nice and well made, but there are many options out there that are cheaper if price is an issue. So the answer to your question is both yes and no. Yes you need a Qi receiver on your phone for wireless charging. And No you don't have to only use the samsung Qi wireless charging back cover you can use others. Hope this helps!

I have it on my Samsung Galaxy S4. I had to by the charging cover although. It changed out the one on my phone so it looks no different. Some phones have the charging ability integrated all ready so no need for a cover etc.

Dont know I dont have a wireless charger. But its very thin the best cases I've found all the others I bought were very cheap I think it makes the phone excellent now well worth any price . Hope this helps.

Yes, about the only phones that I know of with built-in wireless charging are Nexus 4 and 5, and some Nokia phones. Samsung sells the "Galaxy S4 Wireless Charging Kit" that includes a back cover for the phone.

I doubt it. I tried many cases and none of them worked with either wireless charger that I had.

I don't know they sent me the wrong one. I sent it back and never got one. I never did get use the wireless charger. Do you need one? I still have it. I'll sell you mine.

Yes it does. You must have the Tylt Qi Wireless Charger Receiver (which is very thin) and it lays on top of the battery. I have 2 S5 phones and 2 Tylt chargers and 2 Tylt Receivers. They work flawlessly. If there is another battery that is available for the S5, I am not aware of it. However, if it is not thicker than the original battery, then the receiver will not interfere with with replacing the cover securely laying on top of the battery.

I do not know the answer to this question. When I was looking for a cover I just told amazone which phone I had and they came up with the specifixc cover for the samsung galaxy s4 wireless phone.

ABSOLUTELY!!! But, you will need the charging module, or a modified case that has the module built into the case. I absolutely love my wireless charging pads. I have 3 of them all together(table next to my lazyboy, on my office desk, and dresser next to my bed). I know that seems a little excessive but, you will see once you have one, It's soooo nice, not to have to look for the end of a charger to plug in, and for that matter, not to have to look for a charger PERIOD! ☆☆☆☆☆
