Some might argue that placing your smartphone on a wireless charging pad isn’t much more convenient than placing it in a dock or plugging in a charger cable, but there novelty is certainly there. And while Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S4 doesn’t ship with native wireless charging support, a new OEM S View flip cover recently made available by Samsung adds wireless charging support to the device while also maintaining the look of the device. The new S View case replaces the phone’s battery cover and also includes a folding screen cover with a cutout that provides notification viewing without the need to open it. The new accessory costs $70 from Samsung but as Android Police notes, it’s already on sale for $55 from Amazon.
