About 10$ cheep qi charger http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Blac...ogle-Nexus-4-Nexus-7-2G-Nokia/1416517939.html
I bought it about 5$ from Korea market.
You might make your own mount if you want, or use other type mount.
Insert some tool like lillte (-) driver or something into usb terminal, and widen the hole a little and open the charger case. It's easy.
Simple inner 3 parts: usb + coil + circuit board
Unscrew and tear apart those. In my charger, coil was attched by double-glued sponge.
Carefully bend cable from coil and circuit board and locate those above mount.
I searched and found old broken Nexus One cover. Its for cover of coil.
Using scissors, I cut it roughly ans sand-paper the edges.
Using double glued tape and super glue and the sponge from original qi charger, I assembled those. That's it.
No problem in charging and mounting the phone.
To be frank, its not clean and nice, but I think its better than original plate-typed qi charger.
Attached picture is from my magnetic qi charger mount. I think it's VERY good, although it's only my thoughts.
After some road(bumper) test, I'd like to post about it.
Thanks.

I think cheep charger has low charing capacity (it's true) and that's it. Cheep wall charger may effect strong currency and ruin the phone( although phone will protect that). But how does cheep wireless charger damage the phone? Can you explain that?

Just finished my PowerMat car charger project. It's a combination of several different parts put together. I used a Mountek mount to secure it, modified it to connect to an adjustable ProClip mount, then modified a Powermat 1X base to the ProClip mount. I powered this using a laptop car charger. I also removed the Powermat speaker because the turn-on chime was getting annoying every time I started the car.
For my phone, I'm using the parts from a Droid X Powermat cover and an Otterbox Commuter Case. As of right now, my only camera is my phone so I can't take pictures of it.

so with that laptop car charger you dont need a power inverter to run the powermat?

That is correct, the laptop DC power supply outputs 18-19 VDC.

What are your thoughts on disassembling the dc charger and hard wiring to the car?

Instead of disassembling it, I was going to purchase a female DC receptacle and hard wire that. After, just tuck it away out of view.
I dont know anything about electronics but.... Can an power bank case be modded by attaching the wires of the inductor module to the male micro usb part of the case .... http://www.dhgate.com/product/3000m...battery-case/140149386.html#s1-8-1|3772011264 I think something like this would be a good candidate.... or better yet is there a case for n7000 like the iphone ones that act like a dock with built in speakers....etc it would be even better
Note: if any one goes commercial with this ... I want a cut of the action..... LOL

I just bought exactly that case with modding in mind, as built-in battery is almost non existant. I'm waiting for Palm charging kit and soldering iron - will be reporting progress or failure as soon as possible.

After some dremel action and removal of original battery.
The hole needed to be a little bit bigger than battery, to allow some space for sliding into "craddle" inside the case without breaking anything.
With said battery for comparision. Producer claims it's 3000 mAh. I respectfully disagree, after few days of regular charge/discharge cycle this sleeve battery as able to add about 30% to original Samsung cell. Not good enough.
So I jammed in extended Mugen pack and am a sort of crossroads here.
I can connect to the cases old wiring another battery pack or wireless charging coils or maybe, somehow, both. Anyway, it's work in progress and at least my Notes usb port is save >]
On semi related note, this is tempting..
Any updates?
No update still now.

Want to say anything?
I was looking into this type of charger does anybody use one?
I was also wondering if it would work with a quicksand case ?

Yup, I've got that one in black. Works just fine with my Quicksand cases. Just to let you know, it only ships with the charger, no micro USB cable, and no power adapter. Most included USB cables that ship with Qi chargers are crap anyway. So I suggest if you get a Qi charger with a cable, that you replace it with a better one anyway.
I'll have a review up with a comparison between several of my Qi chargers some time next week.

Is it worth the price ? I was going to use the stock USB cord anyways
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
In terms of performance it's good. Works just like any other 1A output Qi charger I've got. As long as a Qi charger receives sufficient input power (good AC adapter, good cable) and has 1A output, all Qi chargers basically perform relatively the same.
Price wise, you can't really get much lower than that. The one you posted, I got in black for $12.00 including shipping, but you can't really get it at that price anymore. Cost wise though, that's still a pretty good deal.
It is one of the larger Qi chargers I've got though. So keep that in mind. I use this one by my bed as it's easier to make sure I've placed the phone centred on a larger pad when I'm half asleep.
Here's a size comparison with the phone on it.
Thank you for all the input. Do you think the stock USB cord will be sufficient?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, the stock cord is a great cable. I use that USB cable with this charger as well. It's connected to a 2A AC adapter, into a powerbar by my bed.
Anybody use it, please give some suggestion.

I use it on my S3. The charging speed is not that fast compared to USB, which I think is well-known. The back cover gets a bit warm also, and I have an Otterbox Commuter case as well, which gets a little bit warm also. It charges just fine through the case.
This is the one that I ordered, as it came with the charging pad and receiver for the phone.

Hope this helps!
I have one of the first gen receiver pads and it charges faster than USB but slower than AC.
check ebay. use search terms like "i9300 qi reciever"
just get the reciever pad.
the best charger pad imo is the nokia ones. they're regularly on sale from 20 -25 bucks for the most part. just do some searching online.

Any Wireless charging system or standard that has the two contacts to fit the contacts that are in the Battery compartment and fits will work....A wireless Standard isn't built into the phones, just the Transmitter and Receiver Coils....
QI wireless charging is nice... However I notice the connector from the QI receiver will interfere with the smart cover slot anyone?
look what i found^^

I
notice there is 2 connection on the smart cover.. the QI receiver use same slot...
You can find a quality charger kit on ebay... just to be safe... look for "Top Rated Seller" and someone with high feedback score to be safe..
oh, and because i'm such a sweetheart:
http://slickdeals.net/f/6904263-nok...e-in-black-or-white-new-bulk-18-free-shipping
18 bucks for a really decent charging pad. I have 2. one for my bed side and one on my desk.
This one works great with mine and I have the lifeproof case on it.

Of course you can not break yusb port, only one drawback - the phone longer charged
Hi,
My Samsung and apple usb chargers are absolute crap so I was looking at these new Nylon braided USB cables which are:
- at least 2x in length;
- much more durable;
- boast that they charge and sync at 2.4A which is significantly higher than the stock samsung and apple chargers.
Pretty sure you can buy reversible and micro USB cables also.
Has anyone had experience with these?
Here's an example product I found which seems great in value and holds the above specs:

my Samsung and apple usb chargers are absolute crap
I use a samsung 2 Amp charger, which has a usb socket in it – for charging my table and/or mobile phone. What do you mean crap? I haven't had one fail, and works as expected. So is this thread relating to the charger itself? Or relating to usb cables? For my charger, the charger has a usb socket – so you could put whatever kind of cable you want on it.
DO ...NOT ...BUY
I have had several ...
1. The contact is poorly molded. The micro-usb contact will soon pop out of the mold and break off.
2. The sleeve does nothing at all. It just looks cool.. the poor way the cable and contacts is molded it does not make the cable stronger.
3. Even how much the information emphasize that the cable can transfer more amperes this is not the case... All sleeve kind of usb cables I have had stalled at about 450mAh.
The best cables are the one that is not fitted with "bling bling" all around or brag about its quality.
I recommend you to instead buy a classic cable http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
This has:
Ferrite Core. Most people doesn't know what this round brick around the cable does anyway..
28/24AWG ..you can bend it all you want. It won't break. Also allow for more current to pass.
Gold plated. Does nothing but looks good..it will scratch off after a month from inserting and removing.
Note: The cables from monoprice isn't something special. They are only a retailer. The cables are manufactured in china.
It is a very nice usb cable. I had it for days and still works great.
