Galaxy S5 cases

Anyone have any experience with wireless charging cases & bases?
The S5 seems to be a very nice phone, but the flap you need to open to charge will be a PITA.
Any experience with Qi charging cases & the compatible bases (desktop & car)?
Do these really work? Do they charge just as fast?
TIA

I don't have any experience with those cases but I'd like to second that the charger flap is a PITA.

Wireless charging is the ultimate in lazy.

Samsung sells a battery cover and base that allows you to charge wireless.

Opening the flap that covers the charge isn't that bad, you get use to it very quickly.

I always automatically plug my phone in when I get in my car & sit at my desk.
Seems like the wireless charging would be the way to go if it really works.

I think that the flap will eventually wear out. Docking stations and such will just make it wear out faster IMO

I would imagine the flap is there to help with the water resistance of the s5. Id say it is a fair trade off to be able to have the phone get damp

Yes I have the galaxy s5, I can get the flap open easily even with the semi bulky case I have.
And yes it is for the waterproofing, every time you remove the charger there is a pop up that reminds you to close it for the waterproofing.
What I am not use to yet is the charger, it's has a micro USB attached to an even smaller one.
