I have the Offical Samsung Flip Case (like the S-View without the window), and also a wireless charger, but the flip case has no charging receiver.
I bought this ultrathin wireless receiver from Amazon -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Expower-Ultra-thin-Standard-Wireless-Receiver/dp/B00FWMN69I/
But now the receiver covers the contacts used by the flip case to tell the phone when case is closed so it sleeps, and to awake when the case is open.
The PCB is so thin I could easily poke a hole through with a needle, which meant I could also put a small wire through to allow outside contact so the flip-case can connect to the phone.
First I poked 2 holes just underneath the connectors of the GND and P3.
Then I placed some double-sided sticky tape over the area
And pushed some thin wire through the holes so they went through into the phone to make contact inside. I used a strand of solid CAT5 as it was what I had lieing around.
I then pushed the wire flat onto the tape and trimmed them both so they couldn't short each other
Then some aluminium foil accross the contact area. I first tried without the foil but I found it was a bit hit and miss whether the case made contact with the wire. With the foil it works every time.
Now I have a flip-case with wireless charging!

Uhhh wouldn't it make more sense to return your 60$ sview case and get the 80$ sview with qi charging case? I don't see why u would opt to do some junky have when u can get the official case thay offers the same functionality and isn't janky

Frist off, the official charging case is very thick compaired to the regular one. Second the wireless charging cases are hard to come by. Third this is XDA, is all about customization, hacking, and development. If you don't like it, don't go to that thread. Last of all, just by your use of the word "janky" I can tell you are an idiot. Please go flame some where else.

Doesn't this add a irregular hump on the back at the wireless ports? The Original samsung S-view case has two wireless pillars sticking out to fit in the wireless ports. You covered the ports with two wires, how is it not adding a little hump on the back?

Not that I can notice. It does make it more difficult to close the case but once closed I don't see any hump and still feels flat when laid on a surface.
Also the flip cases "pillars" are very thin compared to the ones on the official wireless charging cover.
You could always hammer the wire flat prior to inserting if you wanted.

Nice hack especially for those of us in the UK who have just managed to get a free standard Flip Case from Samsung.

I feel really stupid not being able to track down a definitive answer but, I have the Verizon Note 3 and the OEM "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S-View Flip Cover"... does this thing have wireless charging built-in? I see that there are contacts on the cover inside the back and the Note 3 itself has the contacts exposed, so it doesn't look at all like the pictures in OP.

Samsung offers 2 different S-View covers. One has Qi charging built-in, while the other one does not. The Qi S-View cover is not easy to find at the present time, while the standard S-View cover is readily available. Where did you purchase your S-View cover? The package will tell you which cover it is.
If you didn't personally purchase the cover or don't have the packaging that it came in, then post a pic showing the pins/contacts on the inside of the S-View cover you have. We should be able to tell you which one you have, and if it has Qi capabilities or not.

Thank you. I've definitely been looking for this info. I'm just a bit confused as to what you are contacting on the underside. You can't see that part. There are 3 little holes on the left side of the battery. Does your wire contact just the bottom one? Or does it act as a jumper and contact the middle one and the bottom one? I'm using a slightly different charging receiver. Thanks!

I don't see the Qi info on the cover or package, so I'm assuming not. Attaching a pic just in case.
If it's not a wireless charging back, what are the contacts for? NFC? (and if it's NFC, why doesn't the standard back need the same?)

Those contacts are part of a chip that tells the Phone what Kind of Cover is attached.
If you had a charging Cover there would be 3 contacts there plus 2 horizontal contacts higher and to the left for the NFC.

That's the non-wireless charging S-View case. I have the same thing (in white) and was able to mod it to make the S-View AND wireless charging to work.
To the OP, thank you for the aluminum foil idea!! That's the one part my hack was missing as everytime I removed the case it was hit or miss with the contacts lining up correctly.

The three contacts to the left of battery are:
1. [CHARGE]
2. [GROUND]
3. [DATA]
The [DATA] part is used by the phone to determine what type of case is attached. The wireless charger connects to 1 and 2, whilst the flip-case connects to 2 and 3. So the holes are in the bottom two and allow the flip case to be recognized by the phone.
The best way to do this is to just buy the Techmatte Qi receiver! It leaves the contacts open on both sides, so my official Samsung S-View case works perfectly without ANY modifications needed!! Highly recommend that everyone go that route!

Hello everyone I wanted to share my experience with a wireless charging pad and a lifeproof case. I purchased the Nuud lifeproof case a while back and ended up having to replace it due to the charging door that snaps closed started breaking. I figured a way to prevent me from opening that little snap door is to go with wireless charging.
I purchased the wireless charging reciever card and the oem charging pad off amazon. Much to my disappoint me the case was too thick for the wireless charge to continually work. It recognizes that its on the pad but would act as if I were plugging and unplugging a power cord every 2 seconds. So I tried to come up with ways to reduce the surface area between my card and the charger pad. I removed the stickers which ended up not being enough but then came up with the idea to remove the top cover of the oem charging pad. Removing this plastic seems like it was just enough to get it to work correctly. The only problem I see now is the phone is actually sitting on top of the coil which brings up some heat issues.
I'm thinking of sewing together some fabric to act as a cover. What do you guys think about this?
BUMP - I have a very thick ballistics case. I am wondering if a solution like this would work for me as well.

I doubt my case is as thick as yours stein but it is working correctly once I removed the plastic cover on the charger pad. Not sure if you have all the items yet but you can find them on amazon for probably around 60 bucks.
Wireless Charging is working fine for me with my Otterbox Defender case and an Incipio Ghost 100 Wireless Charging Base. I'm using a cheap China QI antenna receiver that I got on eBay.

Try moving the phone slightly on the charging pad.
I don't have the factory pad but on both of my qui charging pads the phone needs to be placed slightly above center. If I put it directly on the center I experienced the same symptoms you are describing.

im thinking this oem charging pad is the prob I'm going to order the ghost and see if I get better results.
The Nexus 5/7 has Qi charging built-in and will stick to the magnetic Nexus Wireless Charging Pad.
I have seen this for the Note 3 that will add Wireless charging: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMRXD9U/
and this magnetic car dock that comes with a metal plate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPMNNUO/
Is it possible to add both to the Note 3 without changing to a thicker battery cover?
I would like to know also. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance..
I just spoke to another user via PM.
Apparently the nGroove Snap holds the phone pretty well using just the official Samsung Wireless Charging Cover, without an additional metal plate. Looking at pics online, i can see that there's some more metal in that cover, maybe that's why it works.
I had also read about people putting the metal plate behind their batteries - but I have no idea how thick it actually is.
The second one is good.
anyone knows of a similar pass through coil in Uk, i mean ebay UK or amazon.
It may be a tall order, but I use my phone in a car dock, and don't want the s-view window. I would like an open face protective case/back replacement that allows for wireless charging without blocking the NFC receiver, that is non-slip (kinda like the speck cases with fingers). Anyone come across something like this? Or will I have to buy a case and a wireless charging pad and hope my NFC still works? All suggestions appreciated!!
Have you tried the official wireless battery cover from Samsung? Sounds like that is what you're looking for. Slightly thicker than the one that came with the phone but it has builtin wireless charging and doesn't mess up NFC

Hi on my note 3 I decided to be clever and purchase a wireless rear battery cover ... you know not the stick on QI charging sticker that goes onto the battery but the expensive complete replacement cover that replaces the battery cover and adds wireless charging toi the note 3
Well ... just for the record it is THICKER than a normal battery cover so you cant fit the note into a case OTTERBOX Defender in my example
just thought this should be on record ... so the advice is to save money and get the cheapers internal stick on QI receiver and not the replacement rear cover
hopes this is of use and save somebody cash and problems when fitting the note 3 into a protective case if its got the charging battery cover
The best way to save cash is just buy one wireless card. more cheap and no additional thicker.

This one is cheap and it works.... and you use the original back cover, so you can use a normal case. Please be advised that is creates just a little bump just below the camera.

It should fit because the bump is not that big [though you better do some research first] . I used a UAG navigator on mine and that case was a tight fitting case and it still fit.

try folding a piece of paper to .5mm thickness, maybe half inch square and put it inside your phone on the upper part of the Note 3's battery, put back cover on, then try the otterbox case.....
look in post no. 1996 of this thread so you have an idea how the receiver looks like.
