I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and got the wireless charging station and wireless charger back cover. I am extremely hard on phones and went through five Galaxy Note 2s over the last 2 years.

I absolutely need a protective case for this phone. I am not finding any cases made to fit the phone with the wireless charger in place. Does anyone have this phone with a protective case and wireless charging back cover?

What wireless charger did you go with?  Did it increase the thickness of the phone?

Do you really need the wireless charging. I can go all day with out charging my Note 4 if I'm not playing on it all day and I only charge it once during the day if I am using it a lot. I also have it in a Otterbox and the otterbox alpha glass screen cover.

My battery usually lasted all day on the Note 2 and so far the Note 4 is about the same. I like the idea of a base I can set the phone on to charge overnight rather than fishing around for the cable.

The back cover is roughly 1mm thicker. This is the setup I purchased.

There aren't many cases that will properly fit with the Qi back cover.  There are some but I don't know any off top of my head.   Hence, why I went with a aftermarket Qi card adapter that fits behind the regular back cover.  I would check out this thread on xdadevelopers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/best-case-note-4-samsung-qi-charging-t2958395  

Or you can do this mod that a member on xdadeverlopers did.  He removed the charging coil from the back cover and used the regular back cover.  I would use some tape to make sure the contacts or coil don't shift. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/note-4-qi-charging-mod-t2953150

I saw those in my google search and I am tempted to try one of those QI Cards, but I really prefer to use the Samsung branded cover. I guess a stop at the Verizon store is in order.

This is why you buy a phone with native wireless charging. Like the nexus 6. I plug my phone in to charge it maybe twice a month. Wireless is fawsome.
