Anyone ever seen a cheap/easy qi module for motomod phones? Several older phones with contacts allowed the addition of a qi module without messing with the micro usb port, such as the Galaxy S5... see link for image:

Anyone seen one of these cheaper qi module that fits a motomod (they sell for less than $5 on ebay) ? They are super thin, so would fit under a case without any sort of bump.
EDIT: I am well aware of the various Qi motomods that add wireless charging... the problem with those? You can't add a case of your choosing and it adds quite a bit to the thickness of the phone for a minimum $30.

It may be a race to nowhere but did anyone succeed with the wireless charging solution through any kind of protective case for Note 2?
I have a Palm reworked charger which does its job. When my Note 2 isn't covered with Otterbox Defender...
OK, the Defender is too tick and out of question. But do we have a choice of more or less suitable cases for wireless charging?
Well thr official flap cover should but it isn't a case.
Any type of case should make wireless charging difficult.

I came across this the other day. Might help with some info for you.

No, the video and the whole article explain how to do the Wireless Charger mode yourself. I already have all the parts inside. The charging is OK with no protective case at all.
I thought Otter or others may create a special version of Defender with a steel disk of a kind to work as a high frequency magnetic coil iron.

I know its a guide, but he had said that his method worked with different cases, so I figured that info would be useful in finding your solution.
I recently bought the CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Pad, it works very well without a case.
So, I am wondering about what cases people are using that are absolutely compatible with this particular charger.
Yes, I did check the compatibility thread but there is only one case listed for the choe pad and it says that it is conditionally working but I am looking for a more affirmative answer.
Thanks in advance.

They all work with Cruzerlite cases from my experience with the Choe Qi Wireless 10,000mah Powerbank. My Choe also works for the Nexus 5 with the Ultra Hybrid from Spigen & the Ringke Fusion Hybrid. It all boils down to the material & thickness. It can also vary due to varying tolerances of the case & even the Qi chargers. The charging field strength varies slightly from device to device due slight inconsistencies in tolerances that are inherent to mass manufacturing.
I currently have the satatchi tablet cd slot mount in my car:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00II8JDRM/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also got two nokia dt-900 chargers for $5 each on that att sale.
I am on a tight budget so buying theairdock is out of the question.
The thickness of the dt-900 combined with the space available on the mount make using it in current form impossible, the tablet won't fit at all.
Is it possible to take parts off the dt-900 to make it thinner yet still work correctly?
If not, is there a DIY way to make your own qi wireless charger by taking apart a normal one or building your own from parts?
Or is there an extremely thin qi wireless charger on the market (like 5mm or less in thickness)?

I purchased one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271329239542?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
and even though it looked thin enough between the Tx coil and the phone it's self.. I had to open the charger up and use my Dremel tool to remove as much plastic inside as I could to make it as thin and with less space as possible between the phone and the Qi Charging coil. It worked out pretty well. Depending on the Qi Charging coil, like this one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Qi-Wire...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item43c9a660a3
You can use a rotary tool and Dremel from underneath to fit the PCB and Coil, leaving just enough plastic on the outside, like a thin layer, but strong enough not to break... Place the Coil in first and mount it with a Hotglue gun, then mount the PCB over it, using a smudge of hot glue to hold that in with out making it permanent like if you were using Super Glue so you can make modifications if necessary . You basically have about 5mm of space to work with, anything more than 5mm and your going to have problems... It has to be super thin, but strong enough not to break under pressure. Where you place the coil has EVERYTHING to do with the best type of charge you are going to get. MAKE SURE you have the phone's Rx Coil, and the Qi Tx Charging coil align PERFECTLY.. Experiment a little. Once you find that "Sweet spot", then hot glue everything together, and it should work like a charm.. I wish I had pictures to show you. Good luck!
YouTube is your friend here.. Look at a few DIY videos...
Edit, I have not yet to find a Qi Charger that fits EXACTLY at 5mm, I had to modify mine so that it could get as close to 5mm as possible if not closer.. You will not though be able to charge it with a case on it.. Thats the bad part about all this..
Buy a bare Qi coil very CHEAP, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181445605298?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Hey all, I was just wondering what you think is the best option for wireless charging on the Note 4 as I am really interested in it. I am currently looking at this
- Qi Pad amazon.com/dp/B00JA7HNZO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=6GF88B1Q6SXD&coliid=I3O5HJ1WEMX2YE&psc=1[/url]
-Receiver amazon.com/Qi-infinity-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-Samsung/dp/B00P48BIFY/ref=pd_sim_cps_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VEVR16CF6A1PXXQ0RSE[/url]
but some of the reviews have said that using a receiver makes there phone really hot and I kinda got scared with it being a brand new phone I'm really protective lol. So I looked into official Samsung backs and found
This - amazon.com/dp/B00NQG2XNW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=6GF88B1Q6SXD&coliid=I1WB1QHUDSKHLS&psc=1[/url]
But I was really just wondering if it were necessary as it is 20 dollars more expensive (broke ass college student) and adds quite a bit of bulk apparently to the back of the phone.
Thoughts?
I bought a Samsung Qi pad and battery cover for my note 4. It works as expected but none of my cases would fit as the Qi back is slightly thicker. I found a company online that sells the Qi charger to install under the factory battery cover and it works as well as the Samsung one. http://www.fonesalesman.com/collect...er-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-siv-with-nfc-support
My magnetic charging cable has stopped working. It was a cheap one from eBay, but lasted since launch.
I'm using a Diztronic case. Is there a magnetic charging dock that fits a z3c with this case? I'm in Canada, trying not to break the bank.
Alternatively, is there a recommended cable everyone endorses?
I use this one. It's probably going to be more expensive than the one you got from eBay, but it's worked pretty well for me.
http://www.amazon.ca/Magnector-Impr...GK3YI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455998239
It's got a convex curve that is meant to conform with the curvature of the side of the phone, but with a case on, it obviously makes it impossible to connect. I have a Devilcase, which is probably about as thick as your Diztronic. I just took a knife and cut the edge opposite the light, down to the little strip running along side. It now connects perfectly with the case on.
As for me - dock
Maybe I am a little too late to answer.
I use this one:
Wsken usb magnetic cable For Sony Xperia Z3 Z2 Z1 charging adapter charger cable - from AliExpress. Was around $8 only.
Store:BAOSIGHT Digital Technology
Sorry, can't post links. Don't have privileges, being a new member here.
Nice build quality and fast enough charging (at least faster than the earlier Htc cable I was using).
Although, the magnetic connection does not automatically snap at the exact pin location. Takes some fiddling around. Maybe that's the case with all such cables, I haven't used any other.
Nonetheless, I am very satisfied.
I've tried 3 or so different sorts, they all require a bit of fiddling sadly, shape of the z3c isn't helping
I use this one from Amazon.
