DIY car dock with wireless charging - Nexus 5 Accessories

Hi Guys,
So I was doing some accessory searching for Nexus 5 and come to conclusion that I want a phone holder for my car with wireless charging.
Then I recalled that I have next (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...evices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) universal car holder.
So the goal now is to make it QI compatible and I need some help to find the slimmest QI charger out there. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

The LG 300 is pretty slim. I have one velcroed on a Ram X mount.

Qi Wireless charging

Im not sure if there's been a new development on this or not but I didnt get find anything.
These Qi Receivers like:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Qi-Wire...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4ac6c3197e
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item1c3375487b
The qi wireless charging mod seems a little too complicated. Now that we have these receivers has anyone tried fitting one to the S2?
I know they arent made for it and there are special connect points in teh S3 S4 and the such but cant an end be splayed open and put in between the 1st and 4th connectors where the battery makes contact with the phone? It would be a little difficult to force fit it but it would be snug and not likely to move and fits over the battery well. Has anyone tried any of this?

Qi Wireless Charging
Hi, I just bought a Qi Wireless charger & Charging Cover and its pretty cool! I bought it from the Bitmore UK site.
They have a wide range of Qi (wireless charging) Devices and the one I bought for my S3 is universal. You can charge any qi enabled devices on this pad.
Just search for: BITMORE Qi Charger

Travel Dock for 360?

So I realize that the 360 is compatible with most qi chargers, which is pretty freaking cool. But, I put a pebble steel band on my 360 so laying it flat to charge isn't a option. It charges great in the original dock, so that's not a issue. I want to keep one at the house but have a practical solution when I'm on the road. Has anyone found where I can buy a second OEM dock. Or, anyone have a Qi aftermarket solution ( maybe something 3d printed or DIY ) that can be easily thrown into a travel bag? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

I haven't tried as of yet. I am getting my metal strap on Monday, but I was thinking of possibly using my old Nexus Orb charger to see if I can loop it over the back and have it charge. Going to try it and report back if it works or not.
This works with my pebble band

Cheap car mount charger.

Hi I am looking for some cheap car mount charger for OPO. Do you have any recommendations ?
I'm using one from brodit because the way their phone holder can fit in my car (between the plastic from the radio and the rest of my car). It's not cheap, but very convenient for me.

Car mounts

I'm looking to buy a new car mount for my Galaxy S8+. Currently I have a 5 year old Brodit car mount that can be flexible in size, but the downside is that it's very shaky and loose.
I've been looking into the force touch charger car mount from Mophie because of the magnetic attachment, but it can only be used with their battery case and I don't need such a bulky case.
Can any of you recommend a good car mount?
I had an iBolt mPro I was using with my previous phone and it worked pretty solid. I just ordered the cPro (which has the USB-C connector built in) and I'll let you know how it works out.
I like the iottie holders since you can put it in and take it out with one hand. However i'm looking at this new one which also includes wireless charging while in the holder.

What do you mean by new? Seems to have come out in 2015 .. I'm also thinking about purchasing but seems old for a couple month old phone. Has anyone tried it? I'm hoping to be able to charge while the phone is in use. I have a 1.5 amp USB in the car which I hope is enough.

You can get a fast charger though I've noticed mine is sensitive to heat, doesn't take much for it to start slowing down charging (and warning you about it)
If you are looking for magnetic attachment, I suggest you look at xvida magnetic mounts. They offer a magnetized cover for S8 which would allow you to use their regular magnetic car docks as well as their line of qi car docks. I've tested their cases for S7 edge & charging desk stand and charging vent mount and they work great. Slight overheating with the car docks though, which can be expected but like I said, they have various standard magnetic car docks if that's a concern. No problems with overheating with their desk charger if you are on the market for a charging stand as well.
HANDS DOWN the best case/mount combo is made by Evutec. The cases themselves are precisely cut and essentially indestructible, all while containing a thin metal insert to work with their vent mount (make sure you get one that comes with the mount). Theyre relatively inexpensive on Amazon for the quality of case you get. They typically only make iPhone cases, but fortunately make them for the S8 and S8+.
The only caveat is that they don't play nice with wireless charging. I guess this could be a big downside for people that love the wireless charging, but I charge by a cable and don't own a wireless charge pad so its all good.

Thank you so much! It was something like that I was looking for. Magnetic attachment and fast qi charging!

Do these still allow wireless charging? I am a total wireless charging user and am looking for something, preferably magnetic that still allows wireless charging.

I use this one but you'll have to charge with a cable or get a cradle that does wireless charging.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G82X5CY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this one and have it mounted on my dash currently. It works but getting the device in and out is a PITA. Does not have wireless charging so I use a car charger and cable and plug it into the AUX for the car with the splitter

Anyone find one with the cup holder
I bought car and driver and then supplemented the cradle with a headrest tablet mount
I got this one from Amazon. My wife suggested it and I was a little suspicious because it was significantly cheaper than the ones I saw recommended. Everytime I use it I'm reminded of why I married her . Doesn't feel cheap at all and keeps the phone VERY secure. I would 1000% recommend. The only thing I would add is that if you are going to mount it high on the dash or from a window, make sure your charger is long enough to reach it because it's not a wireless charging mount.
