I use it both for a Nexus 7 tablet and a Samsung Galaxy S5.

(It is the flat rectangular one, not a puck or tilted, but the price is right.)

That's what I have right now.

A little more detail...

The problem with buying a separate Qi receiver for the Samsung Galaxy series is that it creates a tiny bulge in the middle of the back cover. This can cause the phone to spin around the rectangular charging pad when trying to tap on the phone.

Looking for a hockey puck-type charger with the non-slip ring on it to prevent said-spin. I'm guessing any of them will do, but I'm welcome to suggestions.
