After getting my Nexus 5 and getting spoiled with wireless charging, it was quite troublesome to charge via a usb cable when using my s3 as a secondary phone. So I wanted to get a wireless receiver to go along with the Nexus 5.
Packaging
Not much to talk about here, simple box containing the unit with a small plastic wrap inside. No frills.
Build Quality
The receiving tag is very thin, I can't compare it to others but im guessing they are all comparable. I had no problems putting the back cover on. There wasn't a huge bulge were the tag is. There is a slight bump but you would really have to be trying to feel for it to notice its even there.
Performace
Using my Ravpower Qi Charger it detected the tag instantly. There wasn't any time where I had trouble with getting the S3 to start charging. It didn't get any warmer than usual when charging with a usb cable.
I have a Diztronic case on my S3 and it charged it just fine through the case. I've tried other cases such as the ZooGue case had the same results.
Conclusion
For a mere 10 bucks, its sort of a no brainer for the convenience of wireless charging. I been using it for over 2 weeks and never had a problem with it.
You MUST have a wireless charging pad. Ravpower is offering a 20% discount on the receiving tag when you buy a charging pad with it via amazon. Details is under the "special offers" in the middle of the product page.
I recommend the Ravpower Orbit

Do these guys make a Qi receiver for an S3?

Yeah they do but apparently they sold out of the s3. I imagine it'll come back in stock soon

The best deal for a wireless charging pad is from Monster Watts, sold through Vivealive (sp). $14.99, is the WiQiQi charging pad. They charge $5 shipping, first class USPS inside the US. The pad works well. Not much to look at though, but good deal for the $$..
I'm using the RavPower reciever. It works well together. What I have found out playing around with the charger, is that if you have a poor connection between the charger & reciever, you will get the on/off cycling. I have my phone in a Seidio Active case with velcro on the back to secure the phone on the Mountek CD slot car mount I use. The extra thickness of the velcro prevents good reception & I get the cycling. If I remove the plastic frame all is good. If I remove just the velcro all is good. The screen will flash once at charge start, turn off, then flash once when battery full, then turn back off. The phone will then remain on the pad in standby with no cycling.
It all works a treat, I can't wait to get my AirDock for the car to add wireless charging there as well.
Ravpower said it'd come back in stock within a week. Also, I don't have experience with any other Qi charging base, just ravpower and they've worked great for me
Does anyone know of a OEM Car Charger that actually charges a responsible amount?
I only know of four 3rd party Qi car chargers.
1. Owl charger
http://owlpad.net/
2. iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Standard Charging Car
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
3. Air Dock
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-air-dock#home
4.KOOLDOCK
http://www.fonesalesman.com/collections/qi-wireless-carger-pads/products/kooldock
I personally own the Owl charger but it does charge that well. Last night I forgot to charge my phone so it was dead in the morning. On my morning commute of 30 minutes, I charged my caseless phone while it was turned off. When I got to work I turned my phone on and it showed 1% battery life. A 1% charge in 30 minutes with a phone powered off is unreasonable. If I am out all day long driving my phone will go dead while mounted on the charger only using bluetooth and pocketcasts.
The second charger is the iOttie which I have no experience with. Will it actually charge the phone a substantial amount?
I am also interested in any other Qi car chargers that do not have to be custom made.
The air dock and the iOttie are two different products.
Unfortunately, I don't have either and can't give you any feedback.
There is no OEM Qi Car charger. There is not one made by neither LG nor Google. There are however many made by 3rd parties other than the 2 you listed. On amazon alone there are about 20 that range from $25 and up. The $25 one though I am leery of, it seems like an odd set up. There are also many on Aliexpress as well. Owl Pad was the 1st one that I know of and since then others have been made. I have been keeping my eye on a good Qi Car Charger setup and was hoping iOttie wasn't going be too pricy. They are sadly one of the most expensive I know of.
I have been thinking of getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-3-Co...id=1398445724&sr=8-19&keywords=qi+car+charger
These are some of the others available.

I'm using the official Nexus Qi charger in my car along with a Proclip car mount. Works great.
Here are my videos for some accessories I just finished setting up and testing for the past 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Can you show how it looks with a stock back cover? I also have a Qi charger pad and with stock back cover you can close it but it makes a bump at the "samsung" part and you can actually see the cover coming above the camera lens something that stock is the other way.
It annoys me so much I took it out and sttoped using wireless charging.
Hello,
I am interested in buying a CHOETECH UPGRADED (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C40OG22/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AS3H8BMRCXYCT) wireless charger for my nexus 5. I have a nillkin frosted shield case on my phone. I am curious if it would charge with that case on. And I'd like to know your opinion on that charger.
Thanks!
Qi chargers can charge from about 6mm (~1/4in) distance away from contact with the receiver in the phone. Unless your phone case is insanely thick, or made of metal, it will charge just fine through it.
I use that charger all the time. I've used 4 different cases on my phone and all worked the same.
I was able to figure out a wireless charging option using two accessories.
Spigen case I posted: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B081TL7299/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nillkin Qi Wireless Charger Receiver (Make sure you get the Type-C short version): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TXNJXFM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
It's a tight fit but it works. it creates a little bulge on the back of the phone and blocks the Moto logo and what looks like a mic hole on the rear but I couldn't find it listed in the manual.
The drawbacks is it's only a 1 watt charger so slow charging only and it blocks the usb-c port with no way to unplug unless you take the case off first.

I am wondering if we can get something like this and manually replace the adapter to USB C, is it doable with help from someone who knows how to do the wiring?
