[Q] Phone case & wireless charging - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had a look but didn't see any information.
Is anyone aware of a list of cases that are compatible with Qi wireless charging pads? Or are all cases inherently incompatible?

I've got the Ringke Fusion on my N5 and it works just fine with my CHOE Upgraded Qi.

I think all the case are compatible, i see video of Qi wireless used between a phone and a 0.5 cm thick wooden board..
i don't think your cover is more than 0,5 cm
Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZo2pA0Qc9U

Thanks for the help

[Q] What case fits the S3 with wireless charging battery cover?

I just got the wireless charging battery cover for my s3 and the cruzr-lite TPS case that I have been very happy with until now no longer fits properly around the center of the phone because of the added thickness. Anybody have a case to recommend that they are using on an s3 with the wireless charging cover?

I have a QI wireless charger a few weeks ago and the only thing that will fit the phone is the rubbery cover, I got it at the Verizon store. Nothing else can fit, tried at least 6 other different covers.

Thanks. Anybody else have any recommendations or is the Verizon rubber case (I assume silicon) the only viable choice?

S4 charging dock that can be used with Spigen Neo Hybrid

Hi all,
Anyone know of a charging dock for the S4 that can be used whilst the phone is inside a Spigen Neo Hybrid case??
Thought I'd ask as a lot of people here have the case so there's a high chance of someone using it with a dock too
I ordered the one off Samsung website for half off. Also have th neo hybrid will let you know how it works out when I get the dock

Hi mate, I am using Neo Hybrid Casing with my S4 and has a Samsung EDD-D200WE dock, it doesn't charge. The usb connector is too short to reach the phone.

I also ordered this as I note the Neo Hybrid case refuses to work with many micro usb cables. (Works with nexus 4 stock cable, nexus 7 stock cable, samsung cable obviously). Did not work on my portable charger (anker slim2).
I'm hoping it works through the wireless charger which I'm sure it will since my Nexus 4 works fine through a tpu and pc case
These wireless ones are nice and they look good too lol... If there is no sensibly priced dock then I might wait and get the charging pad when the price comes down a bit

I have that same dock . Any luck finding a case that works?
Well. I think I could have made it work BUT the piece that usb connector is in isnt very strong. I went to put the phone in it and it broke and fell into the housing.
Knowing this now, If the front lip of 5he charger was removed it would fit.
Like I said tho, the flip up usb connector isnt strong at all. Its not like I forced it in.
Needless to say, its being sent out today.

Sorry to bring this off topic but my question is regarding the S4 with the AnkerSlim 2 battery pack.
I'm thinking about getting the Anker Slim 2 as an external battery. Do you think I could mod the micro USB with an exacto knife to fit into the Neo Hybrid case (like the one I did to in the picture)?
Trying to decide between the Anker Slim2 as an external battery pack and extra batteries to swap out. I'm pretty content with the Neo Hybrid case so will be leaving that on.

Any updates to which, if any, docks work with the neo hybrid?
I just ordered the KiDiGi from amazon. I'll see how it performs with the Spiegen Neo.
base received. the phone in the hybrid neo case does fit, however the micro usb plug in the base is not long enough. the phone does not charge.
To reiterate, KiDiGi Cover mate cradle charging and sync does not work with Spiegen Neo Hybrid case.

Battery Door Mod for Replacing batteries.

I'm attempting a battery door mod on the original case that will allow me to change out the battery whenever i want with a charged one.
I have filed out enough space to remove the battery from the case while the case is still on. There will be a little piece of ribbon at the right that will life the battery out.
The NFC and qi chips will be attached to a piece of plastic with Velcro on it so that when when you pull it from the case the NFC and qi chip will be attached to that piece of plastic and will allow me to remove the battery.
I am planning on finishing the case and the battery door in leather.
One thing I'm having trouble working out is how I would be able to charge the nexus 4 battery without it being inside the phone. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers
Steven

That looks really cool but I'm not sure if it would work. The nexus 4 battery has a rather strange connector on it. See pic.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hmm. Yeah I guess I never saw the Nexus 4 battery out of the phone to see if it had the same gold connectors. It looks like these people have a way, but it doesn't seem very convenient.

Ok so I've mocked up a prototype. The concept works just need to get it looking a little better with the help of either some cut sign vinyl or leather glued to it. Have a look and tell me what you think
PS. I put a little piece of leather under the NFC chip to raise it slightly to make the connection with the added height. Works great!

Just had a though. A clip on case on the back might do the trick to hide some of the rough bits lol.

I am looking for stand and spare battery charger like I had for my Fascinate & my Gnex. Battery goes into compartment, phone goes into front groove either horizontally or vertically. A micro USB "Y" cable connects to phone & to charger. Handiest thing I have used in a long time. Can't find one for S4.

Looks like the one for the Gs3 will work. I'm told that the GS4 battery will fit in and charge. I'm going to give it a try.

My old phone cradle/charger from my sprint S2 (Epic 4G touch) fits the S4 perfectly.

I was looking at that one but from the pic's it doesn't look like the vertical support is very tall. i was wondering how well it supports the back of the phone
I never had a problem with support. Between the usb connector going into the bottom and the back lip the phone is pretty sturdy when docked.
