Hi, I am currently looking at a Wireless charger for my Samsung Galaxy S4 because I'm tired of the microUSB on it. I am just currently trying to see what I need for it and how much everything will cost. Also, what are so good manufactures for the wireless chargers.

The only one that I know of and have used is a Nokia Fatboy. Obviously there's a lot of other ones.

I'd say let's work out a deal on the one that I have, but a "Used - Like New" one on Amazon is already so cheap.

Meh, not really. 

 

The actual charger itself is about the size of a 5" phone, for example. It comes with a "pillow" for you to put the charger in, which is what the picture on Amazon shows. Personally, I never liked the pillow, so I just took the actual charger out of it. 

 

Great charger though. I've never had any problems with mine. I don't really use it anymore cause my computer's USB port is closer than an outlet, so I just my G2 via micro-USB.

The Nokia Fatboy can charge through cases, well, at least with mine it could. 

 

I originally got the Fatboy with my Droid DNA (cause the Verizon employee edition since my mom worked there at the time :D but then got it replaced by a regular version cause I cracked it D:). With an Otterbox Defender attached to my DNA, it still wirelessly charged just fine.

 

When I got my G2 and attached another Otterbox Defender onto it, it wirelessly charged just fine as well.

 

I personally have no experience with the Lifeproof cases, but it should be okay. Do some Googling around.

I will work, a wireless charger is a wireless charger. Also you can look the ORB wireless charger or the nokia DT-900. I use both of those.

 

Edit: The ORB is expensive from amazon or everywhere for that manner but I got one off Ebay new unopened for cheap.

If it can charge through a Otterbox than a lifeproof will be fine since its a lot smaller but i was looking at Samsung's website and I need a new cover but not to sure about the battery but it does make the phone thicker so I don't think I can use a wireless charger with my phone case.. not to sure.

You may be able to stuff your phone with that new back cover into your Lifeproof case, maaaaybe. If you think you can, do some Googling around to see if it'll work.
