If you own a flygrip and have it applied to your G Pro, does wireless charging work? Or is the flygrip to thick like I assume it is?

In theorty it should work but i dont know. i wanted to purchase a flygrip as well
I remember someone saying wireless charging was working even with an iFace case on, and those cases are substantially thick. It's in the accessories forum if I remember correctly.

Yes, it does fit. That being said it is a very tight fit, one poster here removed the foam from the back of the Otterbox case, I did not and the case still fit.
I have also purchased the PT defender case from Bestbuy and it fits as well, again a very tight fit.
I was really worried about it charging through the cases, but it does without any issues.
Awesome! Thanks for your response!

There any other good cases that will fit with the wireless charging door?
I have the case/holster combo from Verizon and the wireless charger and battery cover. The case I have does not work with the wireless charger back. It sucks I have to change the back cover everytime I want to charge the phone.

Doubt it. Wouldn't a case on that door affect how well it works?

The wireless charging door seems like a extended battery size? Is their a different case that bestbuy sells besides the PT Platinum? I can't find the defender you are referring too

The charging door is bigger than the stock door, but is still smaller than the extended battery door.
Here is the SKU 2299396 for the platinum Best Buy case.
I had to do my first battery pull since using the BB case and I don't recommend using this case with the wireless battery door. Like I said it was a tight fit putting the case on, out was almost impossible taking the case off!.
The Otterbox Defender is a tight fit, but can be removed fairly easily.
The Best Buy Platinum case is much to difficult to remove to recommend it for use with the wireless charging door.
So the Otterbox's plastic and rubber doesn't affect the wireless charging at all? Any idea what the range on the wireless charger is? Also, what wireless charging system are you using?

When using the Otterbox case I had no issues when charging. I didn't remove the foam, but like I said previously it was a very tight fit.
I have no idea on range of the charger, and i'm using the LG Verizon pad.
my black silicon verizon case fit fine over the wireless charging door, it created some gaps and such around the kickstand, but it worked and charged fine

So are the wireless battery doors and mats interchangeable or do you have to be sure you use the correct brand mat for your door? Just wondering because if the doors/backs are mat specific then I probably won't do it as you won't be able to use the LG Verizon pad with anything other than a phone.

Don't think it's specific to the LG Verizon charger, I just purchased it as I got the wireless battery door free (Aug. Verizon promotion)
Pretty sure that I read here (XDA Forums) that the powermat would work as well, I would search the forums before going and buying the powermat charger.

Powermat won't work as it uses a different charging technology. You can use the energizer QI charging matt though, that will work.
Ok so I bought a Qi wireless charging kit that included among other things a new back to accomodate the wireless charging of my phone. The only problem is that now my deender case does not fit my phone anymore. Anyone know where a person can get a case to fit the phone with the slightly larger back and preferably a case with a belt clip.
Thanks,
Alt
Sorry i cant help you with that, but mind me asking where you bought that kit? a link would be appreciated:good:
that's weird. I tried the defender case w/ my kit and it works just fine. fits without a problem and the pad still connects with the transmitter. did you somehow buy a shoddy bootlegged case?

Can wireless charging be used with a protective case?
What is the best wireless charging kit, I tried googling and there is a lot of different options, some are thick backplates some are thin pad that you seem to put between battery and back cover.
What are the best options? i'm sure someone here will know
Thank you
btw I have Ringke SLIM lite case, can that case work with wireless charing?
sticked thread. post #2.
i personally have the ballistic sg case.
others have reported that even the defender works.

I have the pad that slips under the stock cover and works fine. You can have a case on it up to the thickness of 2 CDs.
Be aware that some charging pads do better than others when it comes to the distance from the pad. I had an off brand one and it constantly lost connection with my Ballistic Maxx case(two layer case). The Lg charging pad I have has no problems with the case. It does lose connection with a 3 cd thickness.
I used cd's to simulate the thickness of the case before buying one.

could you provide a link to both the pad and charging station? just wanted to see which ones you recommend.
I don't have the link to the receiver that I have. It came with the generic pad that I have(and plan to return for other reasons). I purchased it from Ebay(from china) on a friends computer so I don't have the info.
Here is the link to the LG pad I have. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...id=1368740737&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+charging+pad
The reason I got this pad was add it to a universal phone vent mount, so that I could charge the phone while docked in the car. I needed a small charging pad that would fit in the mount. It's much smaller than the phone so I don't know if I would recommend it for the home. Lg also has another model which is more like the standard type.

yeah, anytime you put some sort of obstruction in between the pad and transmitter it makes it harder for the charge to go through.
you just have to find a sweet spot. i made a dock that lines the pad (receiver) w/ the transmitter perfectly so it charges almost every single time on first placement. sometimes it requires a 2nd attemp before the charging beep goes off.

I've got this QI charger. http://goo.gl/AxJ8d and a pretty basic case that has a stand at the back. Here's a very short video I made of it working
http://goo.gl/xwGb1
It works 98% of the time on first attempt. Though if I place the phone down too softly it won't connect.

Does the lg g4 come with wireless charging? if u look close in the back cover it looks like a sticker. weird didnt try it yet.

The sticker is for NFC only, you'd need to either replace the entire back cover or take off that sticker and get a wireless one.
I have had great success with a back cover I ordered from here:
http://www.dealsishop.com/lg-g4-door-qi-metallic-grey.html
It has the sticker already pre-installled and fits like a glove.
Both NFC and wireless charging work flawlessly!
The wireless charging also still works with a Diztronic TPU case and my Seidio Dilex Pro case.
The price is pretty competitive as well.
Has anyone ever had experience with Samsung smartphones charging wirelessly through Defender's thicker casing?
I always had to find the sweet spot with my Note 7 and much thinner cases on last year's Samsung fast wireless charger in order for it to work.
Did you email and ask them?
NM, I wrote them and asked them.
When I get a response, I'll post it.
I'm not getting this case.

I think hearing back from Otterbox would possibly be a more prudent answer.
Unless Otterbox has included some type of conductive feature in the layers between.........
I am trying to be optimistic.
Hopefully the $20 cost difference is indicative of more coils since charging speed is same between Samsung's 2016 vs 2017 models
I heard back from Otterbox:
Thank you for your e-mail. Good news, I do show that it does work with wireless charging. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Have a great day!

Fingers crossed. Bought Defender screenless edition along with two other accessories from Best Buy to get 25% discount.
Description of new convertible Samsung charger says multiple
coils for potrait or landscape charging. Not available for purchase yet through most retailers. Have two other accessories saved in cart waiting for it to become available
If worked with my S7 defender case as Well as my lifeproof case. I got my s8+ defender in last week, it feels thinner than my s7 defender. I'll have to test when it gets here, when it ships.

I know it works with the strada case, not sure about the defender. Look up if the S7 defender case could wirelessly charge, that should give you a hint.

Considering I asked Otterbox specifically about the Defender case AND posted their positive response that wireless charging WILL work with this case, not sure what the mystery or hoping is if the company themselves confirmed it will work.

Wireless charging works with ALL Otterbox cases.
Considering BIG companies like SAMSUNG never misconstrue the facts to sell more products............
Hint. Hint.
NOTE 7 battery fiasco.
Why would a smaller company like Otterbox?

big companies like samsung can ride out the fallout financially... smaller companies like otterbox probably don't want to have to pay for all the returns and the PR backlash.

there was 1 case that was rated to work with wireless charging (I Think it was otterbox) that i saw while looking at the youtube reviews, and yes it did work wih wireless charging, after picking it up and putting it down like 3-4x because it was such a weak connection that it was really hard to get it just right.
I didnt see your comment earlier, but I'd still beware of that, the defender case is thicker than usual.
FYI, S8+ Defender case WILL NOT work in upright position with the wireless charger. I've tried two of them and neither worked. Works fine laying flat, but once it it put in the upright position it will start charging for about 5 seconds and stop. Take off the rubber outer case and it works fine. Seems like there's too much padding at the bottom

If it were me, I'd ask for a refund. This is NOT what they told me in an email exchange I had with them. Seems like false advertising.

Ya, I think I'm going to return them. I've gotten in contact with them on social media and they say all their cases have been tested and it DOES work wirelessly when laid flat. I think they just didn't test this particular scenario. Sad, because otherwise I really like this case.
I just tried my defender with the Samsung wireless charger stand and mine worked standing up.
I have defender on S8+ and charges fine on my spigen upright charger. Now when it comes to my iottie wireless car charger/mount it's hit or miss. The home charger has 3 coils and is stationary but the iottie has one and lots of vibration from car.
Anyone know of a good QI kit that would fit between the polycarbonate and TPU of the otterbox so my car charger would also work. Or would attaching a QI receiver to my s8+ damage the phone since it already has QI built in?
Here's my experience with it. I do have the 8+ and a defender case. Without the case I can just plop my phone anywhere in the upright (samsung dual coil) wireless pad and it will start charging. With the case on I have to search a little for the sweet spot. Hope that helps.
