[Q] Confused about wireless charging - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Here is the deal, I can find a qi wireless charging back on amazon in white or black and it is for qi charging standard. On the AT&T site the have a black only back and it is powermat (pma) standard.
I was under the impression everyone was using qi but now I see the pma option.
I guess my confusion is what is better (if that is a thing), or does it even matter? I know at this time they are not compatible.
I am in the US if that wasn't evident, not sure if that makes a difference. Hope for some enlightenment.

Official Samsung wireless cover is qi.
This is from att site

Thats interesting, if you goto accesories/charging you will see the cover that states it is black with pma.

Umm, are the RAZR and DROID4 ports the same? I plugged my 4 into the lapdock at Verizon that was made for the RAZR and it worked just fine. So I am guessing this would work for the 4, just wouldn't sit flush.

I made it... it didn't launch the dock modes as I wanted so I bought the HD dock and the HD dock station... in the process of making one that acts as a dock not just a otg type USB hub... and I meant the ports on the side rather than the top...

Simple sync and charge dock, looks great for $10. Same as something like this http://www.amazon.com/EEEKit-Starter-Samsung-Galaxy-Charger/dp/B009SKA39Q/
About to place the order for 3....hoping it'll still fit with the aluminum bumper that I've got coming.

Please let us know if it fits with tpu case too. looks dam sexy. Thanks guys
I ordered this dock from eBay since I plan on getting a spare battery (after someone does some real tests). It doesn't work with any cases and I don't think I'll use it because the phone kinda clicks in making it hard to use.

I had that once when I used a 3rd-party charging cable. I think it wasn't passing enough power. If you're not already and you have them lying around, you could try using a Touchstone or the original cable. (I would not buy a Touchstone just to try.)
That happens to me all the time when my touchpad dies and I need to charge it but at this point it will only charge will the oem charger. Also it will take a long time to charge and turn back on

Use a TOUCHSTONE charger.
Really simple just leave on oem charger for 4> and it will turn on, or any charger that produces 2 amps and 5.x volts

Is the included charger 110-240v?

Is the charger you get with the Note II that converts outlet directly to USB capable of switching between 110/120 and 220/240 volt inputs? I'm going on a vacation soon to a place with 220/240 outlets and I know a lot of adapters now can switch on their own, but I just want to make sure.
Edit: just so you know I'm talking about this one

It should say on the charger itself...

any compatible car chargers for the vzw g2?

I know this question sounds dumb, but I have a vzw branded car charger and my g2 says incompatible and will not use for the phones protection .
And has anyone seen any cool slim bumper covers? Some seem to bulky
I use this one. As long as something isn't in the USB, it works fine. No warnings & fast charge.

What's wrong with using the USB port? How much was the charger?

Nothing is wrong per se, the phone complains that it is on slow charge when I have something plugged in because of current draw by the other device.
I bought it last year, but I think it's $19.99 at their store. The issue is the output. We have a couple of Motorola chargers (wall & car) that the phone complains about due to low output amps.
