I'm wondering what case might be best for use with the a magnetic Qi charger (like the official nexus one).
For instance, how does the official bumper work? Does it have magnets built into the case? Are there any cases that do or should I just use an actual bumper?
If I can get the connection strong enough I might try to use the charger as a car mount.

Anyone have the official car dock as well as the TPU case for this phone? Can you comment on whether this phone with the case fits well with the dock? Or is it better to go with the Infuse car dock and then try and shave the edges to make it fit with the case?
wont fit wither doc with a case
i got the incipio silicrylic case for the phone and am looking for a universal dock that will charge the phone with a case. so far i've considered the seidio innodock and this universal dock from amazon but im still not sure if they will fit with the thicker silicrylic case.
another option was just to get the Clingo stand and use the adapter to charge.
anyone have any suggestions?
Also wondering if anybody knows a good Micro-USB stand that can charge with a case (NEO Hybrid) without any problem.
Was thinking the case might be a problem as it takes a couple of mm of space beneath the phone and that the dock USB-male won't have enought height..
The dock from Amazon linked above does not work with my Ringke Slim case - the USB connector is too short and it doesn't plug in properly. The case is pretty slim, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

yah i was thinking the same thing about the mirco usb adapter. the one on the innodock is raised and pivots so i think it has the best chance of working with most case. Seidio states that the innodock works with their active case which is very similiar to the silicrylic case.
It's a beautiful case but it doesn't allow my Orb to charge it. Any one have any success finding a charger to work with this case?
Hi all,
Just been looking at a few different car docks for my N5 that have Qi wireless charging and come across two which I'm tossing up..
There's the AirDock ($69) which holds the phone via magnets and micro suction foam
iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger, ($72) which has the locking mechanism rather than magnets..
Has anyone had experience with either of these two? I'm leaning towards the Airdock, but my next question is, whether the magnets will work through my Spigen SlimArmor case.... wireless charging works fine through it, so I'm assuming the magnets would too..?
TL;DR- will the magnetic mount work through a Spigen Slimarmor case?
I got an airdock myself. And use a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. The magnets are pretty strong.
And even if they are not strong enough to use with the Spigen Slim armor case. There is a sticker with metal slaps (really thin) wich you could stick on the inside of your case.
Inductive charging will work just fine i recon.
Hope that helped.

That would definitely do it if the internal magnets didn't work too well through the case.. Thanks for your help!
I bought the Otterbox case for my Razr and I've found the perfect magnetic USB-C connector for it if you want to keep lint out of the port.
