I already own the Sanwa Wireless Charger .. whilst its very good it doesnt charge through my
case.
Are there any cheap Qi Chargers that work well with cases ?
I ordered the TechMatte and Foneman receivers from Amazon. I got the TechMatte on Saturday and the Foneman should be here tomorrow. The TechMatte seems to have issues with the 3 coil Qi car charging dock. Its documented in the reviews. It doesn't seem to hold a connection with the charger and you get the charging beep every 15 - 30 seconds. Does it with or without the Otterbox Commuter case. Don't have a home Qi pad to try it with.
You will have better luck finding a unicorn.
From all that I have read, what you are looking for does not exist.

I bought this on amazon with the wireless receiver (different bundle but this is the charger). I have no issue charging through my case. http://www.zagg.com/ifrogz/cases/samsung-galaxy-s4/natural-cases-covers/8650
Good luck!

Is there a bulge on the back of your case?

go to a verizon wireless store and ask for either the nokia or lg charging pad. They are both nice, nokia $50 LG $40:silly:
Tried the Foneman this morning on the way to work. Held connection for the entire drive and the phone was still fully charged when I got here. Was running Waze and Pandora streaming on bluetooth the whole way.

I have the qi coil from MobileFun in my S4 and the official samsung s4 wireless charging pad.
It works great through my otterbox commuter case

it's very strange, I have the sanwa (standing version) and same issue with yours, it will not charge my note 2 and my other phones with case, but i'm using it now with ipod with case, s 4 mini with case and S5 with case, all works very good.
Go to Gmarket and look for a iffy brand charger made in korea, looks good and has very good detection with and without case, it's a single coil one, but is not fussy about positioning.
If you can pick up a sandisk receiver, it's very good.

I have the charging coil + a metal plate behind the back cover. There is a little bulge but the back cover to the phone fits like normal. It doesn't sit perfectly flat on a table anymore without the case but I always have my case on so it doesn't bother me.

Has anyone picked this dock up or know anywhere they are sold in stores? So far I have been unable to find anything to answer whether my phone would fit into this dock using the Speck Candyshell case.
I e-mailed Kidigi, but they never responded to my e-mail.

Not sure if this helps at all, but I have the car dock and I would assume the car and desktop dock would have the same case-size tolerance. The car dock can definitely accomodate a case that is at least 1.5x as thick as a Case-Mate Barely There.
thanks stnguyen09
Of course I finally post about this dock and htcpedia finally adds the candyshell to site and it now pops up as a compatible case for the dock *orders!*
I have one. I'm pretty sure it will fit. I have the Nillkin and the Platinum cases from Bestbuy and they both fit.

Just got it today. While the phone fits, it is a little too tight. The phone looks like it is at an angle when installed into dock, but still makes connection with the micro-usb

Found Kidigi under a different name
If you search Amazon for RND Power Solutions Deluxe Charger and Data Sync Cradle , you can get the Kidigi cradle for $19.99. I bought one a week ago and the the instruction manual is from Kidigi. The only difference is no logo on the front.
I have a question..Can I just connect my dock to my desktop and charge overnight and have the ability to synch, all in one? Or do I need to use both cables separately to charge and/or synch?

It doesn't activate any docking features and the display stays in portrait.
It's just like plugging in a regular charger.
I am not having luck finding a protective case that will fit the 1020 with the wireless cover on the phone. If anyone finds a TPU type case, please post a link.
Those cases cover the video stereo microphone

Im looking for a case too that fits wireless shell.
hate to add another "we are looking as well" post but we are.
wife bought a silicone cover (hasnt arrived yet) i thought if it didnt quite fit we could use a hair dryer to make it more pliable to get it over top. Id prefer a hard case for mine ive used otterboxes on all my phones for years but im rather excited about the wireless charging hate the fact it looks like i get one or the other.

just do this lads
Interesting thing about Wireless charging in 1020, is fact that grossly overpriced wireless charging back hauses ONLY induction coil and connector, nothing else. That is why i thibk it is waaay overpriced than it should be. (universal wireless charging coil from china, that has buil in conversion circuit, costs about $6). I've got one of these, and taped it to the inside of my nilkin case (connector was a big problem) and it works. If you do not want to mess with connector fabrication, you can use original wireless charging back. Juzt sumply warm it up with hairdryer, and peel off the adhesive with coil. Then apply it to your case of choice, and voila, wireless charging with your favourite case.
1020 supports wireless charging ?
Not out of the box, but with the right case yes.

Can you advise on the connector and which pin is + and -?
Id be keen to try and make my own case if its a generic coil
I have a Nexus 5 with a Nilkin Skin , im thinking buy a wireless charger for my Nexus 5 but i have this doubt , a normal wireless charger will charge with the skin attached ? The skin are quit hard to remove ..
Depends on the thickness. I have the official qi charger, and the magnet is pretty strong so it might work with the skin.

I have the LG wireless charger (the hockey puck), and it works fine with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case around my N5.
I use generic Qi charging pad I bought on eBay for $15, and it works fine with my bumper case, which adds around 1.5mm-2mm of thickness between the phone and pad. It works just fine.
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.

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
Not sure if there's a generic USB C dock that would fit a G5 with a rugged case? I'm getting the OtterBox Defender but if there's a rugged case+dock combo that works, I'm all ears.

Good choice on case. Case can taken a beating. Drop my phone a lot hard surface and all is fine. Dock couldn't find when I got my otterbox case

Now that I've received the Defender, I can see why there's no compatible docks - there's a rubber protective tab covering the USB port.
In hindsight maybe the ideal rugged case has wireless charging.

I don't think lg g5 supports wireless charging. I read something bout a module allowing it. But it's bulky so idk

In terms of a dock, I was more thinking a rugged case would work better having wireless charging built into its backing (and connect to the phone's USB port). It would mean a dock would only need to hold the phone upright, with a blank panel at the rear of it to house the charging element. Best of all worlds.
I ordered a knockoff of the kidigi adjustable one like this:
XCSOURE New KiDiGi USB Type-C Cradle Charger Dock For Google Nexus 6P 5X BC517 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B019W0J5YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TP.MybAKDKZME
It actually works well with my Spigen case.
