Galaxy S5: Got my wireless charging s-view flip cover!

[eyecon82]

Hi,
So if I understand, in order to use the s-view wireless charging flip cover, you need the wireless charging pad? At the end the whole kit comes up to a hefty price! How much was the S-View wireless cover if you don't mind me asking? The cheapest I can find online is $60 USD ($65 with shipping).
Could you tell us about the closing flap? Is it true that it doesn't close well? I assume over time it will.

I work in an office, and use my phone a lot. I can kill my phones battery in the course of a day. After using the phone, I can put it on the charging base, and it will continually 'top off'. To top it off, the S5 has that USB flap--which I really hate. I actually like the s-view cover, so having wireless charging is a big bonus for me. Also, I didn't need the Samsung Qi charging base. I actually have a few that I spent $15 bucks on each. I spent $90 today for both units, which is not a big deal.... but YMMV.

Obviously wireless charging does not appeal to everyone, but after having it on my LG Gpro, I saw how valuable it was for my workday.

I have several other Qi chargers that I put around the house including the car, and I never have to mess with that USB flap again!

This is what I used to do with my old Palm Prē.

Unfortunately it's very very hard to find this bundle in store.

So my first flip cover would never stay ****, randomly stopped working, and cracks began to occur on the hinge. I exchanged it and this new case is much better. I haven't had the issue of the auto wake on/off randomly stopping to work

This is how I see wireless chargers.

For Free I can, Charge Faster with USB 3.0, Have some mobility while charging, and a choice of any case I want for my phone.
But for about $120-$130 i get, Slower Charging, No Mobility while charging, and am forced to use a specific case.

Can anyone explain to me what the upside of spending the money for one of these is?
I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just trying to understand why I should buy this product.

I have 2 wireless chargers, one at my desk in my room, next to my bed. So when i go to bed just set it on the charger and it charges, easy to do dont have to worry about opening the charger port cover.

And at work put it on to top it off when need.

I still carry a 10,000 mah external battery pack, so i can charge it on the go if i need to.

Wireless charging is more of a convenience. You don't really need it, just something to get if you want it.
