Yes, it does fit. That being said it is a very tight fit, one poster here removed the foam from the back of the Otterbox case, I did not and the case still fit.
I have also purchased the PT defender case from Bestbuy and it fits as well, again a very tight fit.
I was really worried about it charging through the cases, but it does without any issues.
Awesome! Thanks for your response!

There any other good cases that will fit with the wireless charging door?
I have the case/holster combo from Verizon and the wireless charger and battery cover. The case I have does not work with the wireless charger back. It sucks I have to change the back cover everytime I want to charge the phone.

Doubt it. Wouldn't a case on that door affect how well it works?

The wireless charging door seems like a extended battery size? Is their a different case that bestbuy sells besides the PT Platinum? I can't find the defender you are referring too

The charging door is bigger than the stock door, but is still smaller than the extended battery door.
Here is the SKU 2299396 for the platinum Best Buy case.
I had to do my first battery pull since using the BB case and I don't recommend using this case with the wireless battery door. Like I said it was a tight fit putting the case on, out was almost impossible taking the case off!.
The Otterbox Defender is a tight fit, but can be removed fairly easily.
The Best Buy Platinum case is much to difficult to remove to recommend it for use with the wireless charging door.
So the Otterbox's plastic and rubber doesn't affect the wireless charging at all? Any idea what the range on the wireless charger is? Also, what wireless charging system are you using?

When using the Otterbox case I had no issues when charging. I didn't remove the foam, but like I said previously it was a very tight fit.
I have no idea on range of the charger, and i'm using the LG Verizon pad.
my black silicon verizon case fit fine over the wireless charging door, it created some gaps and such around the kickstand, but it worked and charged fine

So are the wireless battery doors and mats interchangeable or do you have to be sure you use the correct brand mat for your door? Just wondering because if the doors/backs are mat specific then I probably won't do it as you won't be able to use the LG Verizon pad with anything other than a phone.

Don't think it's specific to the LG Verizon charger, I just purchased it as I got the wireless battery door free (Aug. Verizon promotion)
Pretty sure that I read here (XDA Forums) that the powermat would work as well, I would search the forums before going and buying the powermat charger.

Powermat won't work as it uses a different charging technology. You can use the energizer QI charging matt though, that will work.
So today I've got this nice surprise in my mailbox, wasn't expecting it so soon since I've ordered it a week ago and the case was shipped from Hon Kong to Europe (Slovenia).
It's a ROCK Texture Series Book Case for Note 10.1 2014. I've ordered it on eBay, pretty nice deal with a 23 € price tag and free shipping.
The case is what I've expected, leather style, is slim and looks elegant. Feels good and nice to hold it. It has no magnets - after reading many reports on magnets interfering with digitizer and pen, I've decided to go with elastic band.
Here are some pics attached for you to evaluate.
I'm using it at color brown. It's amazing cover.
How's the weight? I've bought 3 different covers, and they all pack more weight then the original samsung cover.
Can the elastic band double as a form of handstrap?
does the wake/sleep / daynote work with this cover?
BTW is this the same one?
http://www.casesinthebox.com/rock-t...-p600-p601-2014-edition-dark-grey_p15245.html
Note that in the description it says " Support intelligent magnetic sleeping & awakening function. "
I don't have the original Samsung case, so I can't compare regarding weight. To me it doesn't feel like it adds some notable weight to the tablet.
Elastic is indeed usable as a handstrap, to help you cary the tablet around safer.
Yes, it's the same cover as on your link and as it says it supports wake/sleep function.

There is a case with a hand strap, forgot which one, and i didnt have a clue how this was supposed to work, the strap seemed misplaced.
I am using the Tucano Youngster universal case for my 7" tablet. By putting the sling attached to the zipper over your thumb, you can safely hold the tablet one-handed in portrait and landscape mode. With the 10“ version i finally got for the Note, only portrait works, or you have giant hands.
The best Note specific case seemed to be the hard to find Rock Excel, but w/o strap or sling, which is important to me.
this is the same one , right?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/22132752899...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The Excel has a magnetic lock and no strap. Furthermore, it covers the usb port when closed. While basically sturdy, micro usb ports are sensitive to unwanted stuff inside(Which is difficult to see & even harder to remove) . Might block or damage it during insertion of the plug. And there's no alternative charging option on the note, like a charge jack or wireless charging.

Has anyone ever had experience with Samsung smartphones charging wirelessly through Defender's thicker casing?
I always had to find the sweet spot with my Note 7 and much thinner cases on last year's Samsung fast wireless charger in order for it to work.
Did you email and ask them?
NM, I wrote them and asked them.
When I get a response, I'll post it.
I'm not getting this case.

I think hearing back from Otterbox would possibly be a more prudent answer.
Unless Otterbox has included some type of conductive feature in the layers between.........
I am trying to be optimistic.
Hopefully the $20 cost difference is indicative of more coils since charging speed is same between Samsung's 2016 vs 2017 models
I heard back from Otterbox:
Thank you for your e-mail. Good news, I do show that it does work with wireless charging. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Have a great day!

Fingers crossed. Bought Defender screenless edition along with two other accessories from Best Buy to get 25% discount.
Description of new convertible Samsung charger says multiple
coils for potrait or landscape charging. Not available for purchase yet through most retailers. Have two other accessories saved in cart waiting for it to become available
If worked with my S7 defender case as Well as my lifeproof case. I got my s8+ defender in last week, it feels thinner than my s7 defender. I'll have to test when it gets here, when it ships.

I know it works with the strada case, not sure about the defender. Look up if the S7 defender case could wirelessly charge, that should give you a hint.

Considering I asked Otterbox specifically about the Defender case AND posted their positive response that wireless charging WILL work with this case, not sure what the mystery or hoping is if the company themselves confirmed it will work.

Considering BIG companies like SAMSUNG never misconstrue the facts to sell more products............

Why would a smaller company like Otterbox?

big companies like samsung can ride out the fallout financially... smaller companies like otterbox probably don't want to have to pay for all the returns and the PR backlash.

there was 1 case that was rated to work with wireless charging (I Think it was otterbox) that i saw while looking at the youtube reviews, and yes it did work wih wireless charging, after picking it up and putting it down like 3-4x because it was such a weak connection that it was really hard to get it just right.
I didnt see your comment earlier, but I'd still beware of that, the defender case is thicker than usual.
FYI, S8+ Defender case WILL NOT work in upright position with the wireless charger. I've tried two of them and neither worked. Works fine laying flat, but once it it put in the upright position it will start charging for about 5 seconds and stop. Take off the rubber outer case and it works fine. Seems like there's too much padding at the bottom

If it were me, I'd ask for a refund. This is NOT what they told me in an email exchange I had with them. Seems like false advertising.

Ya, I think I'm going to return them. I've gotten in contact with them on social media and they say all their cases have been tested and it DOES work wirelessly when laid flat. I think they just didn't test this particular scenario. Sad, because otherwise I really like this case.
I just tried my defender with the Samsung wireless charger stand and mine worked standing up.
I have defender on S8+ and charges fine on my spigen upright charger. Now when it comes to my iottie wireless car charger/mount it's hit or miss. The home charger has 3 coils and is stationary but the iottie has one and lots of vibration from car.
Anyone know of a good QI kit that would fit between the polycarbonate and TPU of the otterbox so my car charger would also work. Or would attaching a QI receiver to my s8+ damage the phone since it already has QI built in?
Here's my experience with it. I do have the 8+ and a defender case. Without the case I can just plop my phone anywhere in the upright (samsung dual coil) wireless pad and it will start charging. With the case on I have to search a little for the sweet spot. Hope that helps.
Is it possible to put a case on the Pixel 3 XL and still use wireless charging? Will only certain cases work? None?
Thanks.
Probably depends on the case. Even on the Google website it shows one charging on the stand with a case (fabric on). Looking at Spigen's site some of them say clearly they support wireless charging while it's omitted for others...

Depends on the case. The ones that can will say so. For example some of the Spigens can and it says so. Others say nothing about it and they can't.
Yes you definitely can as long as there isn't anything blocking the connection through the case like a magnet. Even externally using a pop sockets you can't wireless charger. So the answer is yes it'll work through mostly anything and any case unless there is an object in between
During the Google presentation they said you can charge even with a case
Good to know. Thanks for the replies.
I have never had an issue wirelessly charging with a case on. With any phone and even using an external wireless charger adapter
Charging and charging well are two different things. As an example my Note 8 took forever to charge with the leather case on and had to be set on the charger just exactly right to charge at all. Case off and you could just toss it on the pad and it worked. Thick leather has been the worst in my experience, TPU seems to have little effect if any over charging sans case. In the latter case those were all lightweight close fitting cases, might be different with the thicker full protection style cases like a defender. Haven't tried any other materials with wireless charging.
I went with the "all around" protection and go the Otterbox Defender case... it unfortunately doesn't work well with the Pixel Stand.. even with the rubber outter shell off it doesn't charge consistantly. It will charge, then stop... I'm getting a Spigen Neo Hybrid which..is supposed to work with Wireless charging.

Most chargers require the case to be <=4mm to charge wirelessly.
I tried the Pixel Stand with my P3XL while the case was on (Otterbox Defender) and have not noticed any issues. Yet...

works great with spigen rugged armor..
I'm partial to my current phone's case, Spigen Tough Armor, with its kickstand and all, and they have a version for the Pixel 5. However, I'm worried its thickness might cause issues with wireless charging. It's not as bulky as some Otterboxes and such but it's been a while since I've had wireless charging so I'm not up with the state of things. How finnicky is wireless charging these days? Yes still, or not so much?
Wireless charging doesn't work through metal, afaik. Other than that, google it and let us know the results.
They claim it works with wireless charging. It did with my 3XL, so I ordered it for the 5.
The Pixel 5 specs are 4mm charging distance.

As long as you don't use a metal case it will work but it will be less efficient with the case. Wireless charging is already very inefficient (and therefore bad for battery life) as it is.
can confirm this:

I'm wondering if it really is a cutout in the back or if the charging coil is just on the outside of the phone but under the "bio-resin" coating. There would still have to be some small cutout to get a cable through but it would help structurally integrity by not needing as big of a hole.
I'm very curious to see a tear down video.

Although this replay is late and probably no longer relevant the Pixel 5 charges just fine though a tough Armor
A cover up !
______
I use both the Unicorn Beetle and the Kezi-Home and if I had to choose it would be the latter simply because I really don't like the front cover on the former and can be 'damaged' or worn if removed often. They are both outstanding and the kickstand on the Beetle is perfection to my mind and only wish I could fit them inside one another . I don't experience any wireless charging issues with either case on, though is perhaps due to the 25,000MA bank I use.
As long as the case isn't metal, it shouldn't cause a problem with wireless charging. There -may- be a slight drop in power transfer (longer charging times) if the case is particularly thick, as wireless charging is designed with the intent for the phone to be in direct contact with the charging pad, but it shouldn't be a significant problem.
