Hey guys, I was looking at the /r/Nexus5 Wiki for a wireless charger and found that Choetech have released an updated model. It is only $12 ($10 with promo code 4F6LFSQU) and charges at 7.5W (the original, and most of the older chargers charged at 5W).

It uses USB-C, which isn't very useful for the Nexus 5, but it is good for when you update to a new phone (even if the new phone doesn't have Qi, at least you'd have a USB C to A cable). Charging is faster than my old chargers (an old Nokia wireless charger, a RadioShack wireless charger, and a old Choetech charger) and It grips my nexus 5 pretty well, and my friends S7 didn't move at all with any reasonable amount of force. They switched to having 4 rubber strips around the edges of the pad to hold the phone, which is why it works so well with the S7's glass back. My dad's Nexus 6 works great too, despite the curved back, because the spacing of the strips ends up cradling the device. The bottom has 4 Rubber nubs to hold onto the table. They do the job but nothing to rave about. The unit is pretty thin (much thinner then all my other ones), in fact I managed to stick it in my car dock with a bit of Velcro and wirelessly charged my phone while driving. It does have an LED charging indicator on the front but I can say that it is night stand friendly, it is bright enough to let you know it is charging, without blinding at night. The only thing I dislike about this charger is that it doesn't include a power brick. Just the unit, the paperwork, and the USB C to A cable.
I'd rate it 4/5 stars.
Its not the perfect Wireless Charger, but it is the best one I've owned near this price

When using one of these Wireless Charging Receiver Cards, Galaxy S4 only wirelessly charges uninterrupted when taken out of the case,
Otherwise the wireless charging turns on/off repeatedly. This happens even if the phone case has a hollow back.
Can you post what your experience was with wirelessly charging Galaxy S4?
If I'm understanding correctly, it seems as if the extra distance between the charging pad and the receiver when the case is on is probably causing the issue. Technically, it should be able to transmit power over a distance of around 4cm (~1.5 inches),but only in perfect conditions. Ideally, you want them as close together as possible, so a case is probably not the best idea. You might just have to weigh the pros and cons of having the protection of a case versus no cable charging. I use the official wireless charging S-View flip cover with THIS 3-coil charger and haven't had any issues yet.
Thank you for posting.
Interestingly, even a hollow bumper case like this:

causes the same problem as the original Samsung plastic protective case - wireless charging gets constantly interrupted.
So *only* when case is removed does the wireless charging continue uninterrupted.
I sure would like to know what the culprit is. The receiver strip, or the case or the original Samsung charger?
I'm using this receiver that I got from Amazon, and I'm able to charge fine, even with a case on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GCXRU8O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm currently using a gel case, but I also had a hard rubber case that snapped on, and that worked fine as well. My wireless charger is a no name cheap brand I also got from Amazon.

I gotta say right out the package i was impressed. The charger feels solid and well put together.
Not at all what im use to or expected for a auto charger.
You will find even if your lucky enough to have usb integration built into your vehicle for music or phone calls.This iclever 4-port USB charger is worth the money.You can pick one of these up for less then 20 bucks.while your car USB is great at but most vehicles max output is 1A. So if your like me.
Meaning I constantly have GPS running as well as music.
you know that 1A is hardly enough to maintain a charge let alone add % to your battery.iclever puts out 2.4A per usb.
Recently i went on a trip.we had the following devices connected in use and charging.
1.My note 3 running gps & playing poweramp via usb to my car system.
2.my wife and her samsung S5 connected while she browser and played candy crush.
3.my brother With a Nexus device. he was on facebook alot lol.
4.my tablet. asus tf300t i have never been able to find a charger for travel to charge my tablet. in shock and figuring i will see this iclver didnt as well. i was amazed and happy to say that charged as well with its factory cable.
that alone impressed me.
all in all i have to say a great product worth the $.
you can find the iclever on amazon
This is a review of a car charger from iClever - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VK1NHVC
I’ve been in a numerous amount of situations when the phone charger in the car have been occupied while running low on battery, and therefore I began to look into car chargers with more than one port. One product that really caught my eye was the iClever 4 ports car charger, and this is my review of said product.
The box the product comes in is pretty basic, and on the front of it there’s a picture of the actual product as well as the model number. The back of the box have some information on it, but it’s mainly features and specifications. Inside the actual box there’s a charger, user manual and warranty card.
So let’s move on to the actual charger, which is made out of grey aluminum and black plastic. On the front of it there’s 4 USB ports that are rated at 2,4A each, and on the other end of the charger there’s the connector that you plug-in to your 12V jack in your car.
So when it comes the charging performance, I’m surprised by how well this charger performs as it performs about as good as my regular chargers. The rate per port even with 4 devices plugged in is 2,4A according to my USB power meter, and I’m really impressed by that as most other chargers can’t handle that rate on 4 ports at a time.
So conclusion time; I’m very satisfied with this charger as it provides some quite nice features like the 4 ports. I also like the fact that the charger itself is made out of a premium material and that the charging rate doesn’t drop with multiple devices connected. Therefore, this is a product that I recommend and it’s totally a must-have.

If your family has a lot of devices, this thing is a
must have. Everything in one place, easy to get your device charging, and works with any mobile device/tablet. It holds well, understated aesthetics, all ports on the same side as the power input plug. The clear dividers light up whenever the device is charging.You can see the lights of each of the dividers and the power light is the one in the back.
The brightness of the LED illuminated dividers look not too bright which it is good in a bedroom. It is a little light, but once you load it, that doesn't seem to be a problem! The charger has smart technology to protect against overcharging, overheating, power surges, and short circuits. So when your devices are fully charged it’ll turn off on that specific devices. The Charging Station is really working great for my devices since I am able to charge and store them there.
I used USB Doctor to check the Voltage.The voltage held in the range of 5.05 to 5.15V idle and about 5.2V while charging ... well within specifications. The charger has 4 total charger ports. There are two 2.4A USB port to charge your larger devices like IPhones, IPads , Samsung Tablets and two 1A USB ports.
Awesome product, perfect for charging all your electronic devices at same time. Product was better than described. Overall, I am very pleased with this charging station. It is working great for my family.
I received a discount in order to test the product. However, I post reviews so consumers can make informed decisions. Thus, any discounts received have no impact on my reviews. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will be happy to help answer them if I can. I hope you found my review to be helpful. Happy Shopping!

Like a lot of folks, I have a ton of mobile devices and other USB stuff. When I travel, the 1- and 2-port hubs that are included don't cut it anymore because too many hotel rooms only have a couple of convenient outlets.
The Incharge 6-port 60w hub is the kind of thing you need when you've got two outlets and a phone, a tablet, a hotspot, a backup battery, and a pair of headphones you need to charge. It's a USB hub, so it doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles, you just want it to charge a bunch of stuff at once effectively.

In that, it fits the bill. I tested mine with a variety of devices, and it had no trouble charging them all. As you can see in the photo, even with two iPads, an iPad mini, a Nexus 7, an iPhone, and an HTC One, it was still pushing out plenty of charging current.
It's compact and lightweight. The box is coated in a matte plastic finish that is pleasing to touch. It comes with a nice carrying pouch.
It's manufactured to acceptable standards and should stand up to continued use. I've come across plenty of mass-produced Chinese electronics that aren't built to Western levels of quality control, this item is. I also have an Anker 5-port hub, and this thing appears built to the same standards.
Maybe the only negative for me is that it does not have a QC-rated port. That's only an issue if you have devices that can use the QC protocol. Even then, it charges quickly.
I received a free sample from the manufacturer in exchange for an honest review. It's at a launch price of $19.99 right now but I've been told it's going up to $29.99 in June.
