fwiw, Samsung has stock in charging dock that comes with the spare battery for $49. The unit connected to your exsiting charger will chargea spare battery while you phone has a place to stay. They have free UPS 1 day shipping with anything over 49.99 and the software (wrongly in my opinion) includes sales tax in the calculation to qualify.

You're correct. I'm wrong, but a spare battery and nice charger for it isn't all that bad, though all of sudden I'm seeing it for much less on the web, mid-high 30s.

I know... it just seemed like an important detail to note.
Wish it was like the one they made for the Charge I got new at VZW for $35. It simultaneously charged the second battery and phone, came with a second standard Samsung battery, and even had audio out jack and volume controls on the front panel. .......it was also a landscape dock, portrait docks seem useless. I almost never use my phone in portrait mode for anything.

I want to buy a wireless charger for the Nexus 7(2nd gen obviously). I was think about the Nexus 4 wireless charger, but it seems that the Nexus 7 would be too tall for a perfect fit on the charger. Also Google has "not yet" launched any wireless chargers specific for the Nexus 7. What are the prospects of a wireless charger from Google designed specifically for the Nexus 7 this year? Should I go for the Nexus 4 charger? or should I buy a differ QI charger like Energizer ?

If you're looking for a budget one:

Not great, but at the same time worth what you get for it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that it did take about 10 days for it to arrive to me, dunno if that matters for you. It ships from China.
the dt-910 is perfect charging stand. orb works well too, but I prefer the Nokia

I went ahead and bought two of the Nokia DT-900's that was brought up in another thread.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=szkg61a3LRi
They are marked down to $24.50 and if you buy 2 items you'll get an additional 10% off. If you buy a third, I believe it knocks it down to 25% off. Anyway, I bought two, one for the wife and one for myself with tax for $47. Not bad. I think I'll take Artood2s's lead and make a stand!
Edit to change shipping to tax!

Might as well buy a legit Nokia one for that price!
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=H-aRg4I87Nd
EDIT: As the post above me stated as well. This is probably the best deal out there.
I suppose one benefit of the CHOE is that if you have multiple devices (i.e., phone, tablet etc.) that charge via USB Micro B, that you really only need 1 plug and wall adapter to bring with you if you want to charge with Qi. If all your devices do not have Qi. Not only that, this allows me to hook up my charging mat to external batteries as well as my solar panels.
That was the main reason why I got the CHOE over other options, as it is powered via USB, instead of a wall adapter.
I just went across the border this weekend and picked up the Nokia DT-900 for $24. Can't go wrong so I bought two. It works perfect with both Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 without the need to adjust the device just to get it to detect the charger. Well worth the money

It is an integrated 10,000mah power bank that can charge without being plugged in. Also has external USB for charging other devices.
It ships from Japan, but I ordered mine on the second & it is already in Los Angeles & thru ISC (Customs). They play it safe with shipping estimates, but it will have only of taken about a week when I receive it. I'll report back on quality & impressions after I have used it for a few days.

Looking for a good wireless charger for my nexus 5? get one now with DC 5V/1000mA to 2000mA - amazon.co.uk/dp/B00C40OG22 :victory:
I just purchased this Zens Wireless Charger :
http://www.androidcentral.com/zens-wireless-single-charger-review
Looks good and works fine. Just a heads-up...charging times are double that of the original Nexus 7 cable charger. A full charge takes 6 hours vs 3 hours. I have tested this extensively. Price is pretty high I must admit as well. The real benefit of course is you can just put the N7 down on the wireless charger and forget about it.

I'm looking to buy the DT-910 as it props the device upright so I can use the nexus as bedroom clock. The other wireless charging thread has a couple of users that say it works well. There is also a link to cheap dt-900 (similar to what you linked) by you need to buy 3 to get it cheap and it's in the US. I'm UK based so no use to me.

just a question: the 900/910 stops charging when reach 100%?
I bought this Kookpad wireless charger off Amazon and had it waiting when my phone arrived on Monday. You can get it in white or black. It is very placement insensitive. I ordered a 2nd one last night so I could have one at the office.

When I got my N5, I used a HP Touchpad AC charger (up to 2.0 Amp output), this USB current measuring device http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090, and then measured the input current to my Note 2, Nexus 5, and then Koolpad (linked on my previous post) with my Nexus 5 charging on it. The battery was about 55% charged so we were definitely in the constant current section of the battery charge (maximum current). The results were.
Note 2 Input current = 1.28A
Nexus 5 Input current = 1.08A
Koolpad (charging Nexus 5) Input current = 1.09A
The tranfser of power between the Qi charger and N5 isn't 100% efficient so the current into the N5 is something less than 1.09A. Guessing efficiency is 70-90% so that would mean 700mA to 900mA (0.7A - 0.9A) into the N5. I have only had the phone since Monday, but the charging time seems to be very similar between using a cord and the Koolpad Qi charger.
That is the only Qi charger I have tested so far. I don't know how others compare. While researching Qi chargers, I had read some people post that the Nokia DT-900 charged on the slower side..... no data to back that up.
Do these alle work fine with cases?
What about the samsung qi charger ?

Anyway the wirless charger is not 100% efficient...if you search for a faster charge, use a 2,3a USB charger. (Remind the lion battery, for safe and longevity, have to be charge at Max the mah of the battery it self. So a 1000mah battery, Max 1a charger)
I got the Zens wireless charger from Shop Android. When it came I fell in love with the design and ordered 2 more for a total of 3 to have around the house. BIggest mistake ever. I also have the old Zens charger and the samsung S4 charger and the new zens is the only one that gets super hot. Don't know why but when I take the phone off its on fire. Sucks too because now I have 3 of these.

There's definitely some quality control issues with the Nokia chargers, but I can't imagine them saying you'd have to buy another. Their service is outstanding (experienced with multiple defective 920s) and I can't imagine they'd just go tell you to kick rocks.

Well, it was the equivalent. I had to pay $15 to ship it there (I had to use UPS, I couldn't just use a $5 flat rate box). then $10 for them to look at it, then free shipping on the way back. That's $25. I can buy another charger for that money.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I didn't actually "buy" the charger. It just came with my 920 from att. That was their reasoning behind me paying shipping charges.

I am using it with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid without issues. Works on the LG flat charger as well.
That looks nice, but kinda large. The Nokia charging stand is much sleeker I think.

I've been using it on my N4 since the kickstarter project and worked fine. No overheating issues here. Now using it on my N5. No issues either.
I ordered two Tylt Vu chargers from T-Mobile and they're working fine at the moment. There is no overheating issue. If there is, I would update this post with my findings. It's a nice charger, and works well with evecase gel TPU case with the Nexus 5. At first, I thought the evecase gel TPU case was too thick, but it turns out that I didn't plug the power connector far into the Tylt Vu receptacle. If I had any complaint, that would be it. They should've designed such that the end plug from the power adapter be an L shape instead of a straight one that you would have to push in by the ends of the power cable.

Overheating how? The phone or charger?

The phone. Several people on various threads in this forum have mentioned this happening with the Vu. They state the the phone is unbelievably hot to the touch and stopped charging at some point. I wanted to wait until this problem was solved but I don't want to miss this great price...

Mine has arrived! Good build quality, led isn't too bright, nice weight to it and it's so damn sexy. I love it! No way I'd pay $70 for it though, there just isn't $70 worth of charger here. $50 should be the everyday price IMO, but I understand there are development costs they're probably trying to recoup.
