The inductive case is to just 1.8mm (remeasured) thicker than the original S5-case and naturally also weighs slightly more. Some people like disturbing, some are not. By slightly thicker Case specifically silicon or especially hard plastic shells are often not fit. Here then rather Universal bags are needed in the appropriate size. The thinner the original S5-Case is of course a little nicer in hand. For me it was important that I not keep up the USB port and wanted to make so that the cover does not wear out or even break off. This would be very annoying and the IP67 protection would be gone. In addition, I need so not permanently the charging cable on and stake. Handy place to the station and you're done.
What I would like to mention absolutely, is the Note of Samsung in the manual:
When the smartphone hang on the charging station can, especially in weak signal areas, decrease the received power!
I myself have weak reception in my apartment. But a reception strength burglary I could not find so far. These things have I determined by an app that shows me the signal strength in dB.
Positives:
- Wireless charging the Samsung Galaxy S5
- No more fumbling with the charging cable
- The USB jack can always stay, thus no wear or breakage of the lid.
Neutral:
- A few grams heavier than the original cover
- 1,8mm thick as the original Case
Negatives:
- The fact that the case is a little thicker, it no longer fits into many cases. Here the test from the merchants is essential. This is especially true for the hard plastic shells such as at Car Mounts are often found. For this reason, I have bought a universal right holder.
Supplement 1: Unlike some other reviews, in which the S5 is very warm or even hot, I can not confirm. Only lukewarm it was with me. No more than when loading via USB cable. Even the loads it only to 94-95% I can not confirm. As just flashed the station, showed me to my S5 100%.
Supplement 2: from an initial charge of 4% I have charged my S5 again. This lasted almost exactly 3.5 hours to 100%. A very good value.
