I googled it but what I found doesn't seem like it would fit. I hate the amount of dust stuck inside the charge port, anyone know of a cover that would fit over it to keep it clean?
Your best bet would probably be a case that has it built-in. I know the ZeroLemon Rugged and Ghostek Cases have them.

Here's a package of 10 from a quick search for "micro usb 3.0 dust plug": http://www.l-com.com/usb-protective-cover-for-usb-30-type-micro-b-plugs-pkg-10
those look like they would only cover USB type connections. Maybe im wrong?
Covers
Charger covers are built in if no built in cover you have with your phone then there is no way you can protect.

Not true. You can buy charge covers, or "plugs" for almost any connection.

Just do a Google search and you will find lots of USB 3.0 dust covers.

Hello,
I haven't use charge port covers for my cell but if you keep your charger at clean place or in any case no need to have any cover for it.
Yay for the fact that the Otterbox Commuter and Defender have inbuild port cover for both the USB3 and Audiojack openings.
But anyway: http://www.l-com.com/tabbeditem_mobi.aspx?id=27923
These are for USB3. If you want to cover the audiojack, look for 3.5mm dust plugs

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!

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.

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!

Hi guys.
I currently have a case from mobile fun that has s-view and qi charging. it is good but the screen is scratched and has seemingly made scuff marks on the phone screen also. at least i have a screen protector on.
i dont really utilise the benefits of the s view like music from the home screen etc and as soon as it moves slighlty off centre the full screen shows below so i lose the s view screen.
so, i want a case, not just a replacement back that has qi charging but not a flip cover/s view.
do they do them and are there any recommenations?

For the case you're looking for, I don't think so. Most people on here are using Qi insert receivers. Mine works fine. Use what ever case you want.

This thread has a lot of info... a lot.
I never tried that case, I use an insert with the Spigen Neo hybrid... works well... The insert is ineffective 5mm away from the charge pad. 1mm is taken from the insert and the backcover of the pphone... that leaves you with 4mm. Your case needs to be less than 4mm thick. I think the slim armour meets this.
Happy hunting.

So a while back I ordered two moto stands because they were on sale. I hardly use one of them so I decided to modify one.
This is what I came up with because I had been wanting a qi wireless stand. It was a lot easier than I thought.
Took apart one of the stands. Under the pad are just four lil screws, then just clipped off a couple of tabs so that it can lay flat on the back of the qi charger.
I didnt want to use super glue to stick them together, then I remembered I had some adhesive for cell phone screens and that stuff is strong, for being super thin (i think 1/16)
Here are some pics. Works awesome and looks good.
Looks nice. I like it. Props on the creativity.
oh btw i took the pics with my N6 lol
I might try this with mine, I mainly use it for holding my phone when I do work but this is a good idea.
This inspired me. I just bought all of the stuff to do this.

With this setup, it only charges while it's standing up. I wanted it to charge both ways standing and laying on the side. But now I like that I can lay it on its side after its done charging, without it continuing to charge.

It's possible, the charger would just need to be lower. Or if you had one of those rectangular ones that have like 3 coils. I think theres one on amazon that I saw thats the same thickness as this round one.

I ordered this product - it does interfere with Qi charging. There is no placement on the phone that the steel plate does not interfere with. It's a shame though as the mount is awesome and holds the phone well. But if you want Qi charging as well, this isn't the product you're looking for.

Just knowing how Qi works, my gut instinct is to not slap a piece of metal in between the coils regardless of if it starts charging or not.

That is correct but my phone seems to get a lot hotter when I do this.
Week before I got the s8 I tried this with my note 5 and it did indeed run hot. I decided to forget about magnetic mounts due to this. Between the nfc chip and wireless charging coils you have to place the plate far down and it makes for an unstable connection due to it being top heavy. So now I rock an iottie quick release mount that sits in my CD player. It's low profile and clicks shut when I put my phone in it. Best mount I've ever had.

How secure is the phone without any plate? I've been looking at mounts and I don't want to stick anything to the back of my phone and I also don't use a case.

Does it hold the phone pretty sturdy without any plate?
Both the internal plate (designed to go between the case and the phone) and the magnetic sticker (to use on the back of the phone or outside back of a case) contains 4 small corner magnets in it. These magnets are used to keep the phone correctly positioned and are quite strong. I have attempted to use this charger with only the phone (both S6 and S8) without the additional magnets and had no success. A good bump in the road will knock it clean off the mount. The plus side is that the phone does not get hot during wireless charging on this mount or the few I have in my house. Also it will stick to any metallic surface, such as my refrigerator (nice for controlling music playback while in the kitchen).
My phony is pretty stable on my mount with no plate. I wouldn't go off road with it or even down a bumpy road but over your normal paved road it's not bad

Thanks in advance!

I purchased this one for my S6, seems to work well on my S8 so far. Won't fast charge it, but suits my needs.
Just search Amazon for it, I cannot post a direct link

Think it would be possibly to swap the magnets out for stronger ones? I really don't want to put the extra metal on to the phone but I also don't want the thing dropping off! I was close to ordering this today but now I'm having second thoughts

I am not sure. Seems like this charger relies more on the strong magnets in the sticker / case plate than what is contained in the actual mount itself. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone using this mount / charger with a bare S6 or S8 from personal experience. There could also be some better alternatives out there at this point as I purchased the charging mount about 1 1/2 years ago.

If you put the plate on the lower third of the phone it shouldn't interfere with wireless charging https://youtu.be/GRmY-4HKVIk?t=1m43s

Thanks for the tip, I had given up on being able to do both wireless charging and a magnetic mount.

Need to disassemble all the parts and mod it into 1 gadget.
@peachpuff
According to iFixit, lower part of S8 is where main antenna is placed.
Isn't it going to interfere?
@jucytec
thanks!

This isn't a box made out of lead lol, it works fine. wireless signals go every direction... lol not a beam that shoots in 1 direction.
oh yeah, you also have to drill a giant hole in the wireless charger.

Depending how big the plate is but yes it could interfere.
