BUY this charger for Samsung Galaxy S4

I've compared all the wireless chargers on Revain and I think the Koolpad is the best available right now. Of course, pads come at half the price, but if you read the reviews, there's a good chance you'll be disappointed with the product. (Also, the Koolpad is still about half the price of a Samsung charger and works better by many estimates; plus, the thicker replacement battery cover in the Samsung kit prevents many cases from being used.) Many reviews have complained about the annoying beep when it sounds Pairing a phone and charger, and a more expensive 'silent' version is available (alternatively one can 'hack' the regular device to disable the beep). However, I ordered a regular unit and found that it DOES NOT MAKE AN ANNOUNCABLE BEEP. Apparently the company has discontinued the beeper; This is totally unnecessary as the device has a nice, highly visible but unobtrusive green LED light on the surface that turns blue when the phone is connected and charging begins. I'd love for the blue light to turn green again to alert you that charging is complete (it stays blue), but you can easily tell by the LED on the top left of the GS4 which is solid red. when charging and green when fully charged (the LEDs only light up after the display backlight has gone out, usually after about 6-10 seconds). The main selling point of Koolpad is that the "power distance" (a measure of a device's ability to charge a phone through a non-metallic case) is more than 2-1/2 times greater than the cheapest chargers (8mm versus 3mm or 5/16). Customs service). Compared to less than 1/8 inch, Koolpad does NOT come with an AC adapter, but it's actually a good thing as it saves you money compared to the unnecessary and inferior adapters that come with cheap devices since you're only using one more powerful OEM power supply from Samsung or a "standard" power supply rated at 2.0A instead of the meager 0.5 to 1.0A of most cheaper devices. The charging time doesn't seem any longer than using a cable and the device doesn't get warm. t tested matches company's claim of 8mm power gap, but I know my GS4 phone starts charging as soon as I place it on the charging pad and charges directly through my Incipio Dual Layer Case (same hard case with silicone coating) . Insertion). The charging stand is made of smooth plastic and is roughly the same dimensions as the GS4 (which makes leveling or pairing easier), but the phone slips slightly off center when hit. A simple and effective workaround is to install 2 rubber bands around the base, one on top and one on the bottom (about 3/4 inch from the ends). This completely prevents accidental moving of the phone. internal receiver (with Qi chip), I bought the MOCREO as it was eligible for Prime's free two-day shipping, as did the Koolpad, and both came in the same box (cheaper receivers can be ordered but shipping/handling fees apply They are usually more expensive and will definitely add to the shipping time. If you have a Revain Prime I suggest you order the MOCREO receiver, the only other receiver I've seen where Prime shipping was significantly more expensive .) This unit installs right out of the box and works well, has good recessed contacts that make a solid connection to the phone ports (a claim on some cheaper receiver pads) and only through a back cover that sticks out just a little and doesn't get in the way , to be securely held in place my Incipio case. I did not find any NFC interference with this receiver panel.
