There's a pre-order that started for the TVLT VU Qi Charger that was seen earlier this year in CES 2013. There's currently about 50 slots left for the $39 price, so hurry! After that, there will be 300 slots for the $49 price. After that, the price will change to $59. Retail price will be $69.99.
Free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. There's also estimated shipping costs to international countries like Canada($29) and London($40) on the website.
Here's the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/800343142/vu-wireless-charger-free-positioning-wireless-char

The $30 shipping to Canada really kills the deal for me. That seems pretty outrageous.

Thanks for the heads up. Been waiting for this since ces.

Why are they going Kickstarter? They had a preorder going then cancelled. Now this? I guess this way because they can't mass produce a full production run and further delay to August? It was supposed to be delayed til July IIRC. Now no go. For 49 bux (current available Early Bird), that's not horrible. I always wanted the Tylt for home. Let's see if they can Kickstart this this time.

my biggest complaint about all these wireless charges is when i lay my nexus 4 flat on them its sitting right on the speaker and i cant hear my alarm. i had to put some weatherstripping on my current wireless charger so that it lifts the bottom of the phone just slightly off of the charger so the speaker isnt blocked...and still allows it to connect to charge

Can't you just put the phone in landscape on the charger so that the speaker is uncovered? Yes it would hang, but the speaker wouldn't be covered. This is of course if you have the LG flat charger. I am unsure if this would work on the Energizer one, that one is a bit bigger lol.
Does anybody know if this can do a trickle charge (i.e. when phone reaches 100%, tylt will stop charging it, but when phone reaches down to 95%, will it start charging it back up to 100% again).?

Asked that question and their reply:
Kickstarter <[email protected]>
It charges to full and then shuts down. It starts up again if it detects a need to charge

My Tylt is in!
Order placed on 7/3 and received today! I got the black one. So far works as advertised. Pics in the thread below. I was the original pre-orders from the beginning of the year and got it for the Kickstarter price of 39bux. Worth it for that!

Hey guys, I have broken my charger that came with the TP, and my phone charger that only outputs 0.5V doesn't do the job. I've been looking a for replacement but I haven't been too successful finding one, and especially one that ships to Canada. I would prefer the official charger as I would think that it'd be the most efficient way to go, and but if there's a charger that does a better job, and I'm open to it!
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction where I could find one, and one that is easy on the wallet would be bonus!
Thanks in advance,
Regards. :good:

I buy a lot of computer, fishing and photography stuff on eBay. So far I haven't been burnt. The seller has to have over 1000 transactions and a rating over 99% before I buy from them.
radioshack, best buy, fry's, office depot, office max, hell wall mart probably has one that will work.
Loads of third party ones will work, but the Touchpad will only charge properly with an official one, limited to half speed otherwise I think.
I accidentally threw mine away I bought a replacement from eBay and it works great its just like the original

If you are going to buy a new charger, I'd consider the Touchpad wireless charger. I think you can find them for around $30, and it's awesome.
Also, I bought one of these, and it works fine for charging the Touchpad and everything else I have.

if you still have your usb cable then you can buy just about any tablet charger, even one for an ipad as long as its just the 'brick' portion, or one from a samsung or asus tab....you just need the volts & amps to match up

LG has released the WCP-300 Wireless Charger, a new Qi-compatible wireless charger that works with the Nexus 4 and other Qi compliant devices. At only 6.9cm in diameter, the WCP-300 is designed with portability in mind. It is compatible with standard 5-pin micro-USB chargers.

Looks like the QiMini, a few threads below this one. The other is slated to ship by end of March.
No way I would pay 60. Could not pull the trigger on the nexus orb because of the price.

For the same price, I'd rather get the ORB.
I keep seeing slipping issues with the orb and that's why I never got it. I've been looking for a wireless charger but I'm to scared to go with the orb becuz of the issues people are reporting. This and the qmini look like the second best option IMO.

Where there is demand, you will continue to see these exorbitant prices. Give it another year or so, prices will fall.
Having said that, this charger looks nice.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to an exchange for one that doesn't slip.
Problem is none should be having the slipping issue, especially if I'm paying 70 bucks for one. Why risk wasting my money on something I'm not sure will not have a problem. I'll pass on going through all of that hassle and look elsewhere (which I'm currently doing).

I may actually consider this for my PT Cruiser console mod if I can't figure out how to build one myself. Expensive? Sure, but considering I could just cut a hole, glue in this bad boy and wire it into the car pretty easily, may be worth the time saved...

Word. Ripoff at a tenner even. Predict they'll be that cheap in a year. Just gouging the early adopters.
i hope we dont have to wait 3 months for release to western countries.
actually i like the qimini retractable usb plug better. in that last video the lg usb plug looks awkward
Is there an extended battery case for the Sensation? For example, a case where you flip a switch and it charges the battery? My Anker battery doesn't last me the whole day, a dismal 6 hours. I need more than that. Any help would be appreciated!

It's probably legit. They were selling it for $5 shipped in their official site. I don't like its quality very much. Mine is 6 months old. I barely used it and it's charging for only 6 hours (it used to charge for like 13 hours before - it might be at half capacity). And sometimes it doesn't charge. I need to unplug and plug again to it starts charging. Maybe only mine was defective.
If I were you I'd buy an anker external battery (or of some other good brand).
I bought powerskin because it was $5 and I just suggested because it's the only extended battery inside a case I know.

Thing is that I bought an Anker battery, and it didn't last me as much as I thought it would. $5 shipped?! What the hell. Did they mark it up because it is rare now?! I mean, if you say it's good quality, I'll get it. Apparently the seller is in Brooklyn, so I could get it a bit faster. Like, when you say $5 shipped, you mean that the case was $5 or the shipping was $5. I'm feeling some type of way right now.
I believe $49.99 was the original retail price. The manufacturer overestimated demand and put it on clearance at a ridiculously low price. That was back in December I think. Unfortunately those are all gone now so we're left buying from third parties.

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging
Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).
Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.
All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk
They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.
thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.
I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.
