The official OEM wireless charging back is thicker than the standard case as well as ticker than the stock case with a charging pad. You can charge with either wireless or wired. The cards cost about $12 and the pads can be had for $8+ The charging pad will work fine with any Qi Charger. I washed and sprayed my phone with this card in with no issues but when I dunked it it filled up with water so remember that (I had dunked it before the charge card with no problems) on a positive note the S5 seems pretty resilient and managed to recover completely after a day in some rice. They keep the phone water RESISTANT but not waterproof.
They will get a little hot but I have had no problems with overheating. The charging cards will sill let your phone stay in a case. So the Vu-Mate receiver card will be returned and the OEM back is the choice for me.Īs for the Vu and the iOttie, both are excellent wireless chargers, and I would recommend them. I also found the the slightly thicker back makes the phone easier to hold for me. With the iOttie the charger can easily charge the phone even with the GPS running and there is no overheating now. The screen blinking is gone at the the end of the charge cycle and the phone only gets mildly warm now. I can place the phone about anywhere on the Vu and it starts charging right away. I received it on Friday and it is night and day how much better it works than the Vu-Mate. With the iOttie I had to point an AC vent at the phone to keep from getting the overheating warning with the GPS running.Īfter confirming with Slomo26 that the OEM back worked better with the Vu I ordered one of those. The phone would also get very hot on both.
The iOttie was also difficult to find the sweet spot and it would barely keep up with the battery drain of running the GPS. Most times it would take two or three tries placing the phone to get it to start. Even then the phone would tend to flash in and out of charging toward the end of the cycle and I would have to be very careful that the phone was actually charging. Finally found a sweet spot with the phone hanging about a half inch off the right of the Vu. Placing the phone centered on the Vu would result in a red/green blinking light. From the start I had a lot of problems getting the phone to charge. I would doubt the phone was still water resistant. The Vu-Mate did cause a slight bulge in the back of the phone and it looks like the spot just below the heart rate meter is not completely sealed. I got the Tylt Vu wireless charger, the Tylt Vu-Mate receiver card, and the iOttie car dock.
