The Galaxy S5 case is a cover replacement for the back on the Galaxy S5. The sides and interior is a soft rubber to protect the phone.

The grey portion of the back is a hard plastic to provide additional protection. In the middle is the magnetic connector that is used to attach the case to the charging stand.

There isn’t much to talk about on the charging stand. It stands just under 4in tall and is designed to hold the Galaxy S5 in either portrait or landscape mode. There are little metal prongs that make the connection to the back of the case to provide power. Here is where the magnet is located to pull the phone into the proper charging position.
