Depends on the type of cover. I use a Galaxy S6 and was planning on buying a Urban Amour Gear case which states it will work with the wireless charger. However, I bought a basic $15 clear cover for now from Best Buy it is working great. I think the key here is going to be related to how thick the back plate of the cover is and what material it is made out of. Wireless charging uses magnetic technology so some metal cases will not work. Your best bet, buy what you want and try it out. If it does not work out, I have found that Best Buy is great with returns and exchanges!

No. This charger should work with whatever color you have on your phone. It's not like the older generation of Samsung Wireless chargers to where you had to buy a special cover in order to get it to work.

I use my charger with the S6 and did not purchase a special "wireless charging enabled" case. Probably most cases that will fit an S6 will work with the wireless charger.

I use my charger for an S6, and it did not require a special case - except it needs to fit the phone. I don't know if it works with all cases, but it works with mine, and I did not specifically purchase a "wireless charger enabled" case; only one that was made to fit the S6. I'm thinking most phone case manufacturers know the S6 has wireless charging capability and build the cases accordingly.

Not really I have the Samsung made s6 edge cover and it works fine with the cover on.

Honky · Answer

I also saw that on the box, it mentioned maybe a charger cover may be needed.
I did an extensive Search for the Cover, there were NO covers anywhere.
I figure for whatever reason they just didn't make it to market ?

Depends on your phone. If you have the new galaxy S6 then you already have the Qi wireless built in. Pretty much the higher end Windows Phone has Qi wireless as well built in. Just check the specs on your particular model.

Not for the Samsung 6 I just got one and the technology is built in for the wireless charger to work.
