I don't recall EVER seeing a "replacement back cover" for any Samsung phones being offered for sale anywhere -- that sounds like a "Samsung parts" thing you would have to get directly from Samsung.

Bear in mind, though, that the official Samsung "S View Cover" and "Flip Cover" cases are designed to replace the original rear cover, so if you really need a new back cover, using either of those cases would take care of that need....

Interesting I thought Samsung sold different back covers for the S5 and their phones

Well, you can buy S5 "charging" back covers, but after doing a Google search, it looks like most of the "replacement rear covers" market has been in the UK. So, it looks like your best bet for back covers would be eBay and any sites (including Samsung) that sell "parts" for the phones....

Soon they will have a 2500 Mah Battery/ backplate Kit, yes from Samsung for Alpha.

Guessing it will be flush with back Camera lens.

Just got got my wireless charging cover. So far it's great. It adds some thicknesses, but it's thicker in the same way a penny is thicker than a dime. In fact, I kind of like the extra thickness. It feels better in my hand.

The bad news is that you can't use the S-view Flip Cover at the same time (since they both replace the back cover). Wireless charging is more important to me though.

Just got a traditional Krusell case today. I was worried about two things. First, since the wireless charging back adds some thickness to the phone, I was worried it wouldn't fit in the case. Second, I was worried that the thickness of the back of the case (it includes a viewing "kickstand") would make it too thick to work on the wireless charger.
Good news! Neither concern is warranted. The Alpha with the wireless charging back fits nicely into the Krusell case, and the whole thing still works on a wireless charging pad or stand.
The ultimate would be if there were an S-view flip cover that did all this. But next to that, this is the best solution for me. I'm happy!
