Not sure if this is the right forum to post this but I've been trying to find out if I have a case, will Qi charger still work? I bought a Spigen Slim Armor case and would like to buy a Qi charger as well.

Should be fine. I have a case on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and it works on the wireless charger just fine.
I want to mount a wireless charger inside my bedside table so I don't have to see it. I hope I can do that plus have a case on it. Here is what I'm talking about.

That's pretty cool but you would be limited to having your phone on that one spot forever.

I just tried my Nexus 5 on a LG WCP-300 wireless QI charger and it seems to work up to 10 or 12mm of paper.
Not sure what the different cases are made of but I had a Ringke slim case for the past year on my old Nexus 4 with no problems at all. (again tried it with 10mm of paper for a test and it works fine).
Distance away from the charger might affect how fast it can charge, and different chargers might perform differently, YMMV.
nevermind on my post

I just got Spigen Slim Case [Ultra Fit] and (Upgraded) RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger and my N5 has no problems charging through the case (actually I can hold the phone almost 1/2 inch above the charging pad and it still chargers).
Has anyone seen and\or used car dock with built-in QI charger?
I like this idea: http://www2.robpol86.com/guides/Wireless-Charging-Car-Dock/
Magnetic + wireless charging
Will it work on our devices?

Check out this IndieGoGo project for a wireless (QI) car charger, Air Dock. Sounds like that's what you are looking for. Funding ends in 29 days...
I used an old Samsung qi pad, a cheap universal mount, and a standard micro usb charging cable and made my own.

I found out the hard way that this will NOT work with our devices, for some reason. The new Nexus wireless charger seems to only work with Nexus devices. My Nexus 7 works fine with it, but my Maxx doesn't respond to it at all.
I use the LG Smart Fit 2, it works awesome waiting for iBolt to release theirs to try it out.

I pledged a couple days ago. Hopefully it works with the Maxx. I'm a little concerned that it might not be a free-positioning Qi charger. My Maxx is pretty fussy about how it is placed on cheap Qi chargers.
that Airdock looks awesome, let us know how it turns out.

it's even fussy about positioning on my Energizer 3 position charger

I don't think that's a free-positioning Qi-charger, so that's largely to be expected. I have a couple TYLT Vu chargers. They work pretty well, although I need to center it on the charging dock within about a centimeter. That's not hard to hit, but that's supposed to be one of the most forgiving Qi chargers in terms of positioning.
I'm an early bird on Air Dock. I'll let you know how it works as soon as I get in February.
It said the Air Dock requires a glossy back to work, not sure how the Maxx's kevlar backing will go, but thats the only thing stopping me from ordering one right now.
There is a Nexus 5 version with magnetic field for better grip. I hope it will work all together.

Does the Maxx have magnets like the N5?

I'm 99.(9)% sure that it has metal body/tray for components inside. So it should stick to magnets in the dock.

I have the Mountek nGroove Snap car mount that was used in the DIY charger linked in this thread. The mount comes with metal plates to attach to your phone so that they can be attached to the mount magnetically. The Droid Maxx attaches to the mount without the need of the plates. So yes, either a metal frame or its own set of internal magnets.
Interesting...I might spring for the Air Dock then.
Although it looks like it exploded in popularity and now the price is $63 and delivery a month later.
Good news, Air Dock has raised 60000!

I can't wait when I get my early bird. I'll share my experience here once I get it.
yeah I do agree Air Dock is a faboulous item, but according to their timetable the first shipping will be on April...
Anyway do you guys think Air Dock will stick to TPU Gel skin cover?
The 'S' shaped one
I`m not quite sure about it..
I'm an early bird and I should get mine in February.
I think it should work with you case just fine. From my point of view it should grip even better comparing to Kevlar.
I recently bought the CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Pad, it works very well without a case.
So, I am wondering about what cases people are using that are absolutely compatible with this particular charger.
Yes, I did check the compatibility thread but there is only one case listed for the choe pad and it says that it is conditionally working but I am looking for a more affirmative answer.
Thanks in advance.

They all work with Cruzerlite cases from my experience with the Choe Qi Wireless 10,000mah Powerbank. My Choe also works for the Nexus 5 with the Ultra Hybrid from Spigen & the Ringke Fusion Hybrid. It all boils down to the material & thickness. It can also vary due to varying tolerances of the case & even the Qi chargers. The charging field strength varies slightly from device to device due slight inconsistencies in tolerances that are inherent to mass manufacturing.
Is there a QI case for the Z1?
I figure a case could attach to the dock magnet to feed the QI receiver in to. Should be neat, no?
Even you could have a small magnet leading to a QI receiver pad and tuck it under something like the inside of the Roxfit book case. Like the universal USB ones do, but using the dock port instead.
But can't find that either.
Is there something out there?
(just got my Z1, woo!)
Hm. Nothing on mobile fun shows a qi solution for the Z1. I had checked there. There was one for the Z though.
I accept, I may be being really dim and just missing it :/

Do you have any experience with a QI adapter for your Xperia 5II, which fits in a case too? Something like:
Olixar Sony Xperia 5 II Ultra Thin USB-C Wireless Charger Adapter
Add wireless charging to your Sony Xperia 5 II without replacing your back cover or case with this Olixar Ultra Thin USB-C Wireless Charging Adapter. Slim and unobtrusive, be able to go wire free with this adapter from Olixar.
www.mobilefun.co.uk
I'm actually pretty curious about this as well
I have a few microUSB variants of these from the days when QI was new.
They work fine. There's nothing specific to xperia about this product, probably buy it from a more conventional storefront if you just search for it in generic terms.
Hello, I was pretty curious too so I purchase one from Amazon, and it is working great !
