[Q] Wireless charging while in an otterbox? - Nokia Lumia 1020

just ordered myself a lumia 1020 after playing with my wifes. Does anybody here use an otterbox case with the wireless charging back on? Does it still fit into case? Can you still charge through the case? I tried laying my wifes into my otterbox for my galaxy note and seemed to charge but was hoping somebody else here has done it.
thanks in advance

[Q] Compatible case for Verizon inductive charging cover?

Hi this is my first post. I got a inductive charging cover for Christmas and I was skeptical whether or not to put it on cause my case wouldn't fit. I tried it out and within a week I dropped my phone and shattered the glass my phone. Since then I got the phone fixed but I can't find any cases online that would fit. It only adds a little bump to the back so I feel like extended battery cases would be too big. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Eric

[Q] Wireless charging with Otterbox defender case

I have a Galaxy Note II with an Otterbox Defender case. I would like to use wireless charging.
Does anyone have experience of this combination and if so suggestions for receiver and charger?
I get the point about wireless charging, but you missed the point about the Otterbox case.
I want to be sure that the phone will charge with the case on.
OK so where do I get this charger from as I am in the UK?

[Q] OtterBox Preserver and wireless charging back

Has anyone used the new OtterBox Preserver with the Samsung wireless back? I'm thing about getting it but would like to know if i can close the case with the wireless charging back. I'm now using the Otterbox Defender series with the charging back, it's tight but works well.

Anyone using wireless charging with a case?

Just wondering if anyone has the wireless charging back and is using it with a case? I just wanted to know if cases still fit with the wireless charging back cover because I heard the cover makes the phone fatter. Also does the wireless charging work with a case on?
I'm currently using the Spiegen Neo Hybrid and considering getting the wireless charging back and plate so I don't have to open the stupid flap that's prone to break.

Will wireless charging work with a case?

Topic says all. How thick can a case be before it will not work.
I've yet to hear of a case that blocks wireless charging.
not sure about the metal cases but all the tpu and hard plastic cases I've used worked on the wireless charger.
metal cases will block the wireless. if you want woreless charget with case, don't support metal cases
Most of the time (if you're buying a higher quality case) you'll see that they'll include some text saying "Supports wireless charging". Spigen mentioned it on some of the boxes for the cases I ordered.

The Spigen Neo-Hybrid does not work with the Duracell Powermat. Haven't tried it with the official wireless charger.

Maybe it's an issue with the PMA standard as a opposed to Qi. Right now I have the Neo-Hybrid with metal bumpers and using this charger here, it works just fine.

Yeah, that is most likely the issue.
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and it works fine with the Samsung wireless charger

PMA is terrible. The phone gets hot and has a very weak range. Go Qi and almost all cases should work.
I have a s6 and the nexus 5 wireless charger and it never connects with a thin TPU case on... Im a case guy and need a case... however if i remove the case it will charge just fine (havent dont a full charge yet...)
can someone test with cases on etc and see what you get, if it connects... i tested the charger with my wifes n4 with a similar case on and it connects without an issue... as soon as i put on the s6, nothing, just briefly shows the NFC icon and then nothing...
tried it with original clear case. plus i put about 4 credit card together. my phone still charging. so u can figure hows the thickness.
it seems my issue is with the nexus 5 charger, i just used a generic one i got off ebay a while back and it worked great... so selling the nexus 5 charger now lol
im pretty sure the case companies have designed all of their cases so the device can be chargeable with the case on

While it's not wise to assume, I think in this instance, it's pretty safe. But, always read reviews before purchase. Just to be sure.
Wireless charging thru case solved
I am a novice. My wireless charger wouldn't charge my s6 through the thick Otter case, even if I turned it upside down with the face on the charger, So being a novice I fixed the problem the old fashioned way instead of trying to figure out the technical way.
I took the s6 out of the case and drilled a hole thru the case. Put the s6 back in the case and it charges fine now.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Mine works fine (Spigen) with the exception I can't just put the phone down on it and walk away. I have to lay it down horizontal and confirm the light goes on the charger, but yes it does work.
cases with only board may work
