Does anyone have a design for a stand that you can attach the Nexus Wireless Charger to?? I want to get one printed but have no clue how to design it myself
EDIT: Found what I'm looking for
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:221115
**** that's amazing! Now where to print it?
Just typed in 3D printing Toronto and found a couple of local shops

It took me about 3 hrs to hunt down that design because I had no clue where to look. You can always commission someone to design it for you
Nah I got the design and have access to a few different 3d printers in class. Post your results of what you get when it's done!

Found a guy on Reddit who has access to a printer in his lab. Working on details to get one printed! Will post back once it's all done and received.
That looks great!
I'm also curious if anyone's created a version like this for the car.
I just got my Nexus Wireless Charger recently and have been looking at different options on how to mount it to my car dashboard without doing any permanent modifications. This printed dock/stand looks like the right idea.
I got a quote for this thing this morning and they want $300 to print it because it's a solid model rather than shelled.
Something to keep in mind before you guys get your hopes up.
Might contact the creator and see if he can edit to make it hollow?

Hey Guys,
We have a Makerbot 2X. Happy to help prototype anything you need!

Thanks Weston, I found a friend local who has one and I'm getting a lesson on how to use it Saturday to print my own. Once I do that, a designer friend of mine are going to sit down and refine the design to clean it up and make the stand as stable as possible
I just had one printed by a co-worker and love it. The most difficult part is getting the cable through and it cuts 6-8 inches off of the cable which is already rather short for the official nexus charger. Just keep that in mind.

prototyping right now and it looks like the angle is a bit steep but I'm just doing a rough draft
ive been thinking and i think it would look better and be cheaper if i could redesign it like the guy who made his own wood charger. buy some strong magnets for the nexus 5 back and use a cheap disassembled generic qi charger. then you wouldnt have to buy the expensive nexus 5 charger

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

It seems to be essentially a plastic backcover with taped-in "wireless charge receiver" and a micro-usb plug to use for charging.
I really want wireless charging but this left me extremely cautious... is there by chance someone around here who actually owns such a thing and can share some experiences? I mean it doesn´t even say if it´s QI compatible and such minor facts, seller doesn´t respond :-/
Or is there maybe an alternative I haven´t found yet?

exactly. That thing looks easily 100% fake. I pity anyone who believes in the product or that it'll work as advertised.
It looks really cheap. The wires stick out. I can see the wires getting torn from the port very easily

If it worked I would use it with an Otterbox and carve out the rubber charing port cover so the plug would be hidden. I think that would be pretty near perfect. The only part that really worries me about that thing are the wires that go to the plug, they don't look near the correct gauge.

Bought this and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I haven't received it yet though so I can't comment on its quality but there is a xda thread where people have received it. It shipped in 6 hours after purchase btw. I know it's not the same thing but it's a good idea and for the price with free shipping u can't beat it.

How did this work out ?
Copied from the N4 thread:
I just ordered this and hopefully it will work on our GN4:
http://www.ahappydeal.com/product-137289.html
If anyone have any experienced with it, please post your short review here.
TIA
Update:
I had this charger for less than a week now and all I can say it.....WOW and I will order 1 more for a car-mod.
It does require 5V 2A power inverter and it also charges my new G7 (2013)
Even my N4 has a thick casing, it was no problem with this charger compared to other Qi chargers. Placement is also not pinicky.
anyone have anything to add here? why shouldn't I buy this?

Yeah, I just bought a Nokia DT-900 from ebay for $24.99. It's a little more, but I trust Nokia over this brand over the long run.
It looks like I got the last one. The other ebay prices are a bit higher starting at around the mid 30 dollar range.
UPDATE: Just checked and it seem AT&T has the Nokia for $36.75 and free shipping ($49.99 at verizon and Amazon).

^^^ This. I ordered the samsung one for 24.99 and it came in yesterday. I'm quite happy with it. Its not huge but its not small either. Hard to miss the sweet spot when putting my N7 on it. Also, its a known brand. My old N7 charger has a 2amp out put so I use that power brick with it and it works flawlessly so far.
I want one that holds the N7 at an angle so you can set up daydream.
Just ordered a MWT03S from the website in the OP. Will report back when it arrives and I have tested
For those of you also interested in ordering, the "S" at the end of the model name means that it has that slick aluminum bezel around the rim. For $2 more, I think it is a great investment :laugh:

This may be your best option at the moment. Though I read that it only works for charging in horizontal mode (or is it the other way around?).
But for $70, I'd consider one of the cheaper options and bills some kind of a stand myself that I can build out attach the qI charger to.
I don't want to spend a lot of cash on a QI charger especially since we don't yet know who standard is going to win in the end (QI or PAM, other? ).

This one also comes with the 5V 2A adapter, making it the better deal if you don't already have one.
I grabbed the Nokia charger from Dailysteals, but it sucks. It barely charges my Nexus 4 if I keep its clear case on (30% overnight), and it doesn't charge my Nexus 7, even in landscape.

Just a heads up, I received the charger mentioned in this post, the 21$ from appydeal.. its total garbage, buy a hockey puck, place your device on it and pray. Will be just about as effective.
It does charge wirelessly but using it the nexus 7 is virtually impossible, you have find the exact spot to place their small puck to charge it.. and even then it charges at a rate of like 5 points per hour. its barely enough to keep at the same battery level with the screen on.
I also have the nexus 4, even with that device being so much smaller i still have to place ti down and shift it around to the exact spot to induce charging..
TLDR: trash, save your money, my guess is the OP works for the site in some way

Bump. I too am interested in this. Or even any good QI charger with NFC that will elevate my Nexus 5 up a little bit so I'm able to view the screen from a small distance. I've never used the Tylt Vu so I can't be positive, but it doesn't look like it angles the phone enough. It's also quite expensive without a promo code or something. I was really looking forward to the Synergy Home & Vehicle Wireless Charger despite its slightly ugly base but it looks like it didn't work out with the company. You can still "pre-order" it on Amazon as well.

Doing this with the TYLT right now. You're right, the angle isn't as steep as it could be, but I've had no problems seeing the clock. I'm really happy with this setup.
But yeah, don't buy it unless it's on sale... $70 is ridiculous.
Philips makes Android bluetooth audio docks that include a clock.
What about this? http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AS111-37-Fidelio-Bluetooth/dp/B005HY4UOG

This one has larger speakers, and is apparently more bass heavy. Dunno very much about the one you posted, but I know they both have adjustable micro USB plugs that can be oriented to work with the Nexus 5's "backward" USB port, which is what made me get one in the first place.

Tmobile has had a 30% off accessories coupon floating around, and they stock the VU in many stores. I picked one up for $48.99 + tax. Well worth it IMO.
Hello N5 owners! I had a curiosity recently of using a Kenu Airframe and a Nexus 5 Wireless Charger as my car mount build. I went and bought the products and finally as soon as they arrive and test them, I can proudly say this TRULY works as a daily driver!
Here are some pics of how it would look and hold up the N5 charger:
This is a video demo I uploaded so you can see how it would look in action:

But this is an awesome alternative, would feel bad ditching that mount though. The charging for it is an awesome idea but albeit a bit more on the expensive side.
This is really great clean and simple.
Beat me to it OP! I found elsewhere someone modded a qi car mount and it gave me an idea to do exactly this with my airframe! Unfortunately I don't have the Google charger yet lol. How well does the magnet hold the phone? I would like to be able to drive without issue, but with my case on as well. I drive on smooth roads but occasionally bump here and there (I dont slow down comoletely for speed bumps)

i have an airframe already (the best in car holder ive ever invested in) and aiming to get the wireless charger in the new year. Now providing the USB cable gets enough charge from the car its an amazing, no-worry way of chargin whilst on long journeys, plus it will ensure that i dont forget a charger again (i'm notorious for leaving chargers at home when going away)

I've been using it since day 1. no drops whatsoever. With a case you'll have to be careful which one you pick. Mine doesn't hold up at all.

Got my wireless charger and unfortunatly doesn't play nice with cases. I guess this gives me a reason to get one of those aluminum bumper cases and hope that that doesn't affect reception.

LOL looks like it could work, but I have a clear back case. This would look...bad hehe on that. On a closed back case, I can see it may work. I ordered a tpu bumper and that should play nice. :fingers-crossed:
