Nokia DT-900 + generic portable stand (Amazon) + Velcro = Surprisingly decent looking and very practical charging tablet stand.

Nice; sturdy? Care to share the link to the stand?
does it work in landscape as well? I thought about doing this same hack awhile ago, but just wasnt sure if itd work in landscape...
also if you just search for "tablet stand" on amazon a bunch of the same type of stands show up.

Yes, the stand is adjustable too, but it may not charge the tablet if the angle is too great between the pad and tablet. It does charge with a bit of a gap, but nothing too great.
This is the one i bought. Prime shipping

The stand does work with the tablet in landscape. You'll have mount the charging pad a bit lower than the way I have it though. That's the beauty of the Velcro
Sent from my Nexus 7
Great find, OP! I might just have to pick this up. The velcro was a simple, yet genius addition. If I spring on this, I'll post back here and give some feedback.
On a related thought: anyone know of a stand that would be good to use with my Nexus 4? Possibly with the Nexus charging orb instead of the DT-900?
EDIT:
Just wanted to report back after I bought and used this combo. So far, so good. Charges perfectly well with my Nexus 7 flo when I set it on there. There is the gap that everyone sees in those pictures, but doesn't affect the charging at all. I use it daily when at home to charge my tablet. I like to put daydream on and use it as a clock when playing games or watching TV or whatever. Works perfectly.
Totally just bought this off of Amazon. It's sad how excited I am to turn my DT-900 into a charging stand. Thanks, OP!

Just got the stand in (gotta love amazon prime and cheap upgrades to over night shipping) and it was a little annoying with the initial setup of stand angles vs. velcro placement... But in the end it's working amazingly. So, glad you posted this. It may sound odd, but it just adds a sleekness to the whole setup. Thanks!

I have been searching around for a simple stand that is qi compatible.
I basically gave up because they seem to be non-existent. Yet, with this in mind, I think I will give it a go!
I have an amazonbasics tablet stand (It is basically the same, but cheaper) and am about to get the charger.
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...8&qid=1378060435&sr=8-3&keywords=tablet+stand
Could the OP please take a picture of how it looks on the back though? As in, when it is charging? I would love the see the placement of the velcro and the overall gap there is.
Thanks!
And btw, the charger you can get it from ATT for 25 bucks!

You can go to an AT&T store and get a price match. Just tell them the price is from their own online store. They don't match anything else.

This concept is interesting.
But before acquiring both the stand (+ velcro) and charger, I need to clear up one thing.
I'm planning to buy a case for it, which will thicken the tablet.
And since there is already a gap (because of the angle), I'm worried it may not charge effectively (wireless is already 750 mA instead of 1200 on cable)

However, this last one make me think the first part of the arm is not long enough, and the second part can't make more than a right angle
Could you kindly show us another pic with the tablet in landscape and charger in a lower position (or can the charger be put horizontally, if not too heavy ?)

I don't have a case, but it charges with my tablet sleeve. Don't recommend charging with the sleeve though as it gets pretty hot. Not sure if the same will occur with a case.
As for landscape. Because of the vertical nature of the third support arm, I don't think this is the optimal position (less area for Velcro placement), but it does work.
Gotta clean that screen, lol.

In the landscape setup I can go one notch more on the support arm and make the angle more oblique. Lessens up the gap, but the arm is much more visible when the tablet is placed on top of it.

I had it in landscape for a few days with a poetic slimline case no issues. I ended up changing it to portrait because it allowed for easier placement for charging... Easier to drop and go... Also portrait allowed for more velcro for a more secure fit. Since I switched it up the charger hasn't budged, and I haven't had to double check to make sure I didn't miss the so called sweet spot for qi charging.

this is my favorite case from the original nexus 7, i cannot recommend it highly enough and at $5.97 it is an absolute steal, the case is $0.99 and $4.98 shipping, grab one while they are this cheap, you will not regret it, look and feel like a much more premium case
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4OKXPU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Designed specifically for Google Nexus 2 7.0 Inch Android Tablet by ASUS. Access to all features and controls.
Automatically wakes or puts your device to sleep when the lid is opened and closed
Premium PU leather exterior and microfiber interior. Built-in stand with several angles: perfect whenever you type an email or watch a movie.
Padded front cover and hard plastic back offer enhanced protection, at front, back, and all CORNERS.
Lifetime warranty. Search "MoKo Nexus 2 7.0" for other styles and color options offered by BSCstore.
Edit 8/14/2013 *update*
Received the case today and it has all the cutouts where they are meant to be, its just like a slimmer version of the original Moko case, good quality case, especially for the $5.97 it cost with shipping, by far the best case you can buy, i finish work in 5 hours and i will add more pictures with the actual N7 FHD in the case
Edit *Photos added with N7*
As you can see all cut outs are in the correct places, access is there to everything, i work in construction and this case has been with me everywhere today, and its been great, looks really smart, feels nice and soft, the nexus locks into place really secure, i honestly dont know how they can make this at the price and make money

angry english,
Thanks for the post! I actually had the same Moko case for my "old" (2012) Nexus, and was hoping they would make a new case for the new N7 soon. I've seen in Amazon and looked around, and one Q&A said that the new case did not have a hole in the back for the camera?? Is this correct? No hole??
Just curious...I wonder why they would make the new case without making a cutout for the camera in the back (as well as cutouts for the new speakers at the bottom).
Let me know please.
Thanks!
I don't know if anyone has this case yet since it hasn't shipped.
I have a blurex case for another tablet so I can only guess that there might be an issue with the Nexus 7 2013 camera being so close to the corner. Cutting a hole for it might be an issue for the strength of the corner hold.
That is just a guess though, as I haven't seen what you are reading that this case is missing a hole for the camera.
If you could point that post out, it would be appreciated.
BTW earlier today, they had the case on sale for $0.01 + $4.98 shipping (total $4.99 vs $5.97). Clearly not a big deal, just pointing out prices can change at any point up or down (they had it at $3.99 a few days ago)
I'm not sure bud, it does say all function usable, guess I'll find out when it ships, but I'm not to bothered if it is covered, I love the case, I went through quite a few before I got to the moko, never looked back since

I saw this too this morning and ordered a .99c black one and a 2.99 orange one. The images on the amazon page shows a hole for the camera but I'm not worried about the camera anyways. I've used it and its not a very good camera. I'll use my S3 for the rare photo I take not using my DSLR.
How does this one compare to the poetic slimline? I have that on my of N7 right now and have no issues. Already ordered poetic one for 2nd gen but thought I'd ask about this one.

I saw an image with the camera in the center on the back - but that is not a Nexus 7 & camera. The camera is not in the center of the new Nexus 7. Did you see an image with the camera in the back corner of the device? Can you post a link?
I have two of these cases for my 1st generation Nexus 7s. They were superior because I can use them with the dock and they don't cover the microphone on either the wi-fi nor 3g models. But, the original Moko were a problem with magnet location, etc. So, until someone proves the camera hole is in correct position for new Nexus 7 (2013) I will NOT believe it. LOL
Whoever gets one please report results. Thanks.

I`ve just messaged the seller to see what they say, and seeing as it said "Designed specifically for Google Nexus 2 7.0 Inch Android Tablet by ASUS. Access to all features and controls" i dont see why it wouldn't.... also the magnet issue was fixed very early on in the original moko case, they replaced mine for free with a new one, i got that one in September last year and its been 100%
I bought them ALL ...
I was just looking at the poetic slimline on amazon for $5.95 and it has detailed pictures with all the cut outs and I think it will BE the ONE I use most. Maybe I will have to buy a few more Nexus 7 's (2013)

Links are funny on amazon for items with multiple options. But, I found the image you identified and it looks great. I ordered one of these for my Nexus 7 (2013).
One possible problem because I have a QI charger so I'm not sure if it works through any case. Yet having a case will protect my tablet from damage.

I also have a Qi charger and am worried about that. Fortunately I bought the case when it was .99c so if it stops the charging, I'll just get a different case =D.
Mine shipped on the 11th, could be here tomorrow, I'll take plenty of pics, can't believe its $7.99 now lol people missed out on what I would say was the best case I had for my 2012 N7 for under $6 shipped

Hi all,
So I am trying to see if I could get some help understanding this QI wireless charging technology as well as finding an appropriate charger.
I have the Nexus 7 (2013) w/LTE, and wanted to buy a wireless charger since I figured it would be neat to not have to plug/unplug all the time. After finding the highest current being 1A, I tried 2 chargers so far - the Nokia DT900 and the LG WCP-300. My problem that I am having (or confusion, rather), is that both of these chargers seem to indicate that they are charging forever, and that my Nexus stays pretty warm. With the Nokia, according to the manual it is supposed to start doing a long blink when charging is done. With the LG, the light is supposed to become a solid green. However, neither of these happen. For the Nokia the white light just stays lit, and the LG's light keeps blinking green. I don't want to overcharge or ruin the Nexus, so I was wondering if any of you have had experience with a Qi charger (that charges at 1A) that correctly disconnects/stops charging after a certain period or does a trickle charge with the 2013 Nexus 7? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
You won't ruin anything. Been using the lg charger for years and the Nokia one for about a year. Never had a problem. The chargers go into a trickle charge mode at 95%, as I know it the charger and receiver actually talk to each other.
Also most qi pads will say 1amp output but there is a 30% loss in the transfer so most charge at 640mAh. I'm using the tylt wireless charger for my nexus 7

Not to derail your topic much, but I'm also looking to buy a QI charger. I'm going to build a stand/dock to put it in. What's the best deal on a good, reliable QI charger? I'm not as worried about charging rate, as I'll just set my N7 FHD in the stand overnight. I'd imagine that even a slow charge will bring my N7 FHD from almost dead to fully charged overnight
I have a workshop full of wood working tools (saws, sanders, routers, etc), plenty of wood, paint, a large sheet of 3M black carbon fiber film, and plenty of experience working with wood. Just need to find a good, reliable QI charger that will be worth building a dock to mount it in. It's very important though that I find the best deal available for one! I'm still on Disability from a bad car wreck on May 22nd of 2012, so I don't have a lot of extra money after my bills are paid! In fact, I didn't even pay a cent out of pocket for my 32GB N7 FHD thanks to the Viggle app! I've earned over $400 in Best Buy gift cards over the last year from Viggle! I currently have $75 in Best Buy gift cards, so getting a QI charger from Best Buy would be fine, though I'd imagine that I'd get a better deal buying one from somewhere else. Best Buy usually isn't the cheapest place to buy from, and again, getting the best deal on a QI charger is my top priority! Thanks for any and all help!!

Didn't I read somewhere that this one is around $50 though?
Just figured I could buy one for around $30 then build a stand to mount it in. It's only $20 savings, but when you're on a fixed income like I currently am, $20 is a good bit! I already have everything I'd need to build a stand, so there is no additional cost for me in that.

AFAIK it still is on sale.
If you have a router or router table and a drill press, this is a nice, minimalist design as a starting point.
This was done using a 3D printer, but you can see how it could be done with about $6 worth of scrap hardwood, stained/finished or just painted.
The fact that the charger just 'fits' into place makes it a very attractive prospect for those who already have one.
Might be able to make a few $$ selling them.....
Just a thought.

Nice! Gives me some good ideas on how to make mine! Preciate it!! I've got a huge sheet of black carbon fiber 3M film that's sticky on one side. Might try wrapping the stand I build with it, or at least covering the majority of it with it. Rather it be in white carbon fiber, but I bought the big black sheet on eBay about 3 years ago. I might see if eBay has a large sheet of white carbon fiber...
EDIT : Haven't I read on here before that this Palm TouchStone works with the N7 FHD too? Any modifications needed to the tablet? Haven't read much on this charger, but didn't think it was a standard Qi charger.
If no mods are needed, the $10 price tag is hard to pass up!!

Nice! Gives me some good ideas on how to make mine! Preciate it!! I've got a huge sheet of black carbon fiber 3M film that's sticky on one side. Might try wrapping the stand I build with it, or at least covering the majority of it with it. Rather it be in white carbon fiber, but I bought the big black sheet on eBay about 3 years ago. I might see if eBay has a large sheet of white carbon fiber...
EDIT : Haven't I read on here before that this Palm TouchStone works with the N7 FHD too? Any modifications needed to the tablet? Haven't read much on this charger, but didn't think it was a standard Qi charger.
If no mods are needed, the $10 price tag is hard to pass up!!

For the dt-900, would it charge at 2.0a if I spliced a USB cable and used the stock 2 amp n7 charger or would it still draw the same at 750ma?
Nope.
The coils limit the output/input.
We need more options for wireless charging stands. The Tylt Vu is nice but for $70+ it's stuck at one angle and the lip on the bottom is much bigger then it needs to be. http://www.tylt.com/vu/
There's also a Nokia model with a more "watchable" angle but it costs over $100.

I made my own temp one until I find something better using a couple of empty allergy bottles and some rubber lining. Thinking of building my own permanent solution but haven't figured out exactly what pieces I plan on using.
This works with the Nexus 5, no fiddly placement trying to line it up either

DIY Stand
I got the nokia DT900, it is a great charger, I just didn't like that the phone was laying down, hence the stand. If i make another there are a few changes to be that need to happen. But it works well neverless.
Wow those are great. I'm liking the DIY atmosphere going in this thread and it gives me a few ideas for sure. Surely there should be more products like this out there or coming soon.
If you're using the Nexus 4 Orb for your Nexus 5, how watchable is it and how usable is it to tap things on the screen while charging?
That looks awesome, I'm gonna make something like that, Thanks!!

I just bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Ke...=Kensington+KeyFolio+Expert+Multi-Angle+Folio
It's a cheap case at $20 and the keyboard is made of cheap plastic (definitely doesn't feel as sleek as the Logitech ones). The black fabric case is also not real leather (and definitely does not feel like real leather).
BUT, the important thing is that the samsung galaxy note 10.1 (2014) edition WILL fit this case. Since the galaxy is about .07" wider than an ipad 4 (retina), you can fit (albeit tightly) your samsung note into the plastic slide holders that this case has for the ipad. (It will fit, you just have to shimmy it in carefully).
Mine just arrived this morning and i was able to pair it with my samsung without any issues. Even after the tablet screen goes blank, it seems to keep the bluetooth pairing, so I'm very happy. Only downside that I have seen is that there is no cutout for the microusb charging port (but I might take an exacto blade to it and try to make my own.)
Will be taking the case and tablet with me for the holidays and see how well it works with continued usage.

Hmm. I haven't spent a full day with my tablet on bluetooth. I do notice that if the auto-sleep functionality works, then there is minimal battery drain even if I leave bluetooth on. The issue tends to be if I have a case that doesn't fit perfectly (like the kensington one above), then the auto-wake gets triggered, making the battery drain overnight. I usually lose about 30% over 6-8 hours in that case.
I will keep a closer eye on it and report back. I've also been playing around with having an external thumb keyboard (rather than a full-blown keyboard), because those are much smaller and more convenient to carry around. I did also pick up one of the logitech external keyboards (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-ipad) with the stand, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep that one since the keyboard is huge (but excellent build quality) and not very portable IMHO.

Bought one from another seller. I will be getting mine tomorrow and will let you know how it goes. It took over a month to get this as the seller mentioned the first batch they received wasn't up to their standards and they resent it to the manufacturer.

As an update, I switched over to the logitech keyboard that is a separate keyboard with no case (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-ipad). Battery drain with bluetooth on has been pretty minimal. I'm happy with the battery life - the primary drain is still going to come from the screen and not from having the BT on. I can still go several hours with the BT keyboard connected so no complaints here.

Logitech just announced their Case+Keyboard combo at CES for their PRO line. I read a comment on Engadget that they also announced one coming for our 10.1 but cannot find anything solid on it.
Heres their press release;

Thats what i went with. Only need to use the keyboard here and there. I can keep the smartcase on and it stands up at a great angle. Found it for $30 brand new and free shipping on ebay.

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-keyboard-folio-for-samsung-galaxy-tab?crid=1242
The dimensions seem pretty close ...
I just called logitech to see if they would be coming out with a folio for our tablets, the reps gave me the typical answer unfortunately... "we don't have any information on that at this time and if we are, logitech will announce it on the site".
I will say though, something did catch my attention during the conversation. I asked if they had a folio for the Galaxy Note 10.1 and he knew EXACTLY what I was talking about, as he referred to the 2014 edition. In my opinion, that can be interpreted in 1 of 2 ways: either several people are calling and asking for it, or they really do have one in the works.
Although I'm ready to purchase a case and keyboard right now, I think I may wait until my next paycheck to see what logitech does. I'll purchase a super cheap case in the meantime though.
What do you think about this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H3KM29M/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers or this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FJTV0PG/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers ?
Its seems to be 100% compatible with 10.1 2014 edition, has a good BT keyboard with case and got very nice reviews...
Its not expensive.
I am almost ready to order, just wanted to check if anyone had experience with it.

Does it have a home or back button that works with the Note? Also how is the tablet screen protected from the kb once closed?

It has the home button but it doesn't work with note tablet since this keyboard is meant to be work with iPad. Last two rows touch the screen but i don't think it matters since i have a tampered glass screen protector. Also, the keys are made of very good quality, so they won't scratch the screen in my opinion. But for $17, i think for me it's a very good decent deal. I love the quality of this product.
Sorry i cant post links.. but..
youtube has currently reviews on 2 BT-keyboard cases for the SGN 10.1-2014
simple search for galaxy 10.1 2014 keyboard
or SM-p600 keyboard
should yeild the desired results..
one is a cheap plastic case sold through ebay via china that was already discussed and photoed in another keyboard thread for the 2014 here on the XDA forums.. but a video is alwyas better.
it seemed to fit just fine.. but for me left ALOT of concerns as it has a 3 tab conection to the front of the tablet to make a "half" case.. leaving the sides and back unprotected.. and while it has a slot to slide the tablet into to stand up.. this slot has 2 "teeth" to frip it.. a from experience on my kocaso m870s and a similar tablet holder with teeth.. and what the other threads pictures clearly showed.. these teeth support the FULL weight of the tablet.. and CLEARLY bend the screen/glass out of shape under the devices weight.
for most this might be a minor issue.. but for a 600$ tablet it seems a bit unwise to damage your high end device with something so poorly thought out.
the "V" stand i use now with the 2 teeth prongs holding the tablet up alsohas the issue while deformingthe screen.. causes a single screen press to register as 3-5 in various spots.. effectivly warping the screen enough that its causing false touch readings when the screen is interacted with..
this forces me to have to hold the tablet in hand and not in the pronged cradle whenever i need to actually physically interact with it.
this other case and the better build quality of the SM-p600 might cause it to be a non issue.. but what pictures i seen in the other thread still makes it an issue worth noting.
=============================
the other case listed on youtube is a full leather folio style case in assorted colors offered through amazon.
from the video allthe holes for the ports are in the right spots.. nothing is blocked.. and the keyboard is detachable and also wrapped in the leather.
honestly theres 2 reviews of this case.. and in BOTH instances the reviewers kept dropping the keyboard while it was being handled.
its meant to be held in place by a series of magnets.. but clearly not powerfull enough ones.
this leather case also seemed to more then double the thickness profile of the tablet making the entire thing look more like a notebook then a freely portable tablet.
while not a deal breaker.. for some this is an issue they best perfer to avoid.. so is clearly worth noting.
===============================
sadly from my research.. ive not found anything that stands out as the ipso-facto "GET ME" case/keyboard for the SM-p600 just yet.. but its still a new device.. and more things are comming out for it all the time.
and knowing how cheap china knock off products are.. and sadly this is what nearly all ebay and amazon items tend to be as of late..either find a decent slim case for protection and all NEEDED featured for the tablet.. and look around local stores for a cheap bluetooth keyboard seperately.. amd keep the keyboard where you do most your business.. and keep typing light using the on screen keys while elsewhere.. and stick with that.. or wait a bit longer to see if anything worth our attentions pops up stateside.
I have been trying to make my own wireless dock for my Nexus 7 and LG G2, so I could just put the device in a mount and have it connect to the Bluetooth and charge without me having to plug anything in. I took a Ebay wireless desk charger and rigged it to work with one of my dash mounts but it looked awful and only charged when I got it perfect in the mount.
Then I was looking at other mounts on youtube and came across a Kickstarter company called AirDock. I ordered from the Kickstarter site and finally got the unit a few weeks ago and thought I would give a review. Be easy, this is my first review of anything.
The device has a sticky pad and 4 magnets that hold the tablet. It worked well for the Nexus 7 without a case but not with the case. But the mount came with a sticker that has 4 additional magnets in it that I attached to the back of the case and it holds it well. I have it in a Jeep Wrangler with 37" tires and has not fallen off yet.
You can buy it with a short suction cup base, a long one, or a CD mount. I am using the long one in the Jeep and it works good, has not come off yet. I bought the CD mount one for my car and it is sturdy and seems well made. It also comes in white or black.
It came with a dual output USB charger that says 1Amp and 2.1Amp but with the wireless charging I do not get anywhere near that. My Battery Widget says it is charging at 500ma ( 1/2 amp) which is enough to use the GPS, Pandora and have the screen never turn off and BARELY charge the battery. I use Tasker to automatically open Pandora when it senses wireless charging.
I will post some pictures this afternoon.
There website is http://www.theairdock.com/ I paid $45 for it on the prelaunch but it looks like they are $68 now. Pricey to me but well worth it because I have double that and 20+ hours into trying to make my own.
Please post any questions you have I will try to answer. I have emailed there support people with an issue with my LG G2 and they answered same day.
Please post some pics of your setup when you get the chance. I'm looking for something like this and it sounds like it might work well.
Oh man! Yes... Let's get some pictures on here!

Let me tell you, while I do have have the AirDock, if I ever do another car install, I will be using it. I bought and hacked up a Qi wireless charger to use and earth magnets to hold the tablet. While it does work, I've got $20ish in magnets and another 10 in a wireless charger and then the time taking the charger apart, finding placement, trying to work the magnets around the charger, make sure it all works, ect. A lot of time whereas with the AirDock, from what I see, will pretty much self align, hold the tablet in place and charge. The time saving to me alone would be worth it
Pics please
Pics please.
I am a lurker on this site. I can offer very little knowledge to rooting phones etc. but I thought I would share my experience with the AirDock. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5, the CHOETECH Qi Wireless Charger Kit from Amazon, and a Spigen Slim Armour Case. Everything works fine. S5 charges thru the case with out issue.
When I get the AirDock I quickly realized that A) the AirDock will not charge the phone and B) the AirDock will not hold the phone. I added the magnets to the inside of the Spigen case and that did not help much if at all. I contacted AirDock and was told I needed to put the magnet stickers on the outside of my case. I certainly do not want to do this and I can’t as the sticker will no longer lay flat. The sticker is not designed to be installed more than once.
On their web site is says the best option for the S5 is to use the Samsung replacement back. I ordered the Samsung replacement back from Amazon and even paid overnight shipping as I was excited about using this. This AirDock now charges and it does hold the phone, but nothing like the videos show it. It is not a strong connection at all. I tried it out in my car and it fell off twice while I was driving during lunch. Obviously this is not going to work for me.
I contacted the company and asked for a refund. I was basically told if I didn’t want to put the magnet on the outside of my phone, there is nothing they can do to resolve this and will not refund my purchase. So I had to open a Paypal dispute.
I am disappoint mostly in the fact that the item didn’t work and that the merchant had no desire in helping me. Maybe I have a defective unit - who knows. I would have liked to try another unit, but I don’t think that is possible now.
If you do not have a super smooth phone back or want to add a magnet sticker to your phone, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
Hmm..... I definitely do not want to add magnets to the phones case. That would look horrible. My case is big enough as it is. I have a Zero Lemon 10K I don't even use because it makes the device so big. Sure I can go 3-4 days but at the cost of having 5lbs in my pocket which isn't cool so even with my current case, I don't want to make it more bulky. Thanks for the feedback.

No problem. Glad I could help someone not go through what I am going thru trying to get a refund.
I love my Airdock. This is a picture of what a Nexus looks like in my car. I don't run it like this though, normally a Note 3 goes where the Nexus is.
Few things to note. If it's bright outside, Waze will slowly drain the battery, but at night, it'll slowly charge it up. If you don't run Waze, it charges my Note 3 at around 650mAh.

Doesn't the Note have a super smooth back? The S5 doesn't. And since I added the 'official' back cover as suggested, I can not longer find a case to fit the S5. I really wanted to like this, but I can't afford to have my phone falling down while I am driving.

UPDATE: the company has said I can return the unit for a refund. Hopefully everything goes smooth.
The magnet is just a sticker. I actually have one on the back of my Nexus 7 and also on the back of a case I sometimes use with it (the sticker on the back does not interfere with fitting into anything). The N7 sticks without it, but I have a Jeep with shocks that need to be replaced and when I drive over railroad tracks fast, sometimes the Nexus 7 can fall so I didn't trust it enough. But no problem no matter how rough i drive since the sticker is added. The sticker is necessary on the back of the case, otherwise it won't stick at all. It still charges through the case, but it's very particular about positioning it just right and in my experience it drains faster than it can charge when using navigation, and would not last on a 5 hour trip. But despite that, this has been by far my favorite dock for any device so far.

Old thread but the sticker does not have magnets in it, just metal to help it cling to the magnets in the dock. I had to use it on my G2 because my Incipio Featherlite won't stick. I may try some thin metal discs between the plastic back and rubber of the case instead.

I cut the sticker out around the buttons and where the Incipio logo would show.
I also have an s5. I have the genuine iq upgrade with back panel but haven't used it yet. I am looking for an airdock or similar solution. I could live with the sticker but just wondered if there are any other chargers out there like this or is the airdock the best option? Will it alway charge slowly? Ie 500mah. Also any links of where to buy as mobile fun is out of stock. Thanks guys
Airdock is already working on the next version, it may be better but won't be ready till April or later.

Terrible product
Buyer beware. Their customer service is horrible. They specifically emailed me to tell me it would work with the droid turbo and it does not. The phone sticks to the pad fine but does not charge. I repeat: Does not charge. I sent them 2 nice emails asking for support and they have completely ignored me.
