***UPDATE*** there is an issue with some Nexus 4s and the Nokia DT-900. It appears to be an issue with some N4 implementation of the QI standard. Also does not semi affect all N4s. I don't own an N4 so don't know all the details. If you own an N4 this charger may not work for you.
I recently got a Nokia DT900 referb from ebay (white) for $24.99, and it works great. It includes a power source with a decently long cord.
I just saw AT&T is having a sale on the Nokia DT-900 (various colors):

hope this helps those that missed out on the back-ordered Samsung wireless charger.
Just saw the DT-910 is also on sale for &51.75 plus tax. For those that want a charger that works as a vertical stand. That's the best price I've seen on the DT-910. personally a littler more than I'm willing to spend (money's tight right now).
UPDATE: Someone pointed out that is you have a Premier accout you can get an additional 25% discount if you order two ore more, that's $38.95 after taxes for two ($19.48 each after taxes).
Great find, I'm going to pick one up at my local store tomorrow! Thanks!

great catch! Just ordered 2 of them for the price of one, on top of that if you order 2 accessories, there's an additional 10% off. So for 2 chargers with the discounts and taxes came to 47 bucks.

I like the idea of wireless charging, but can't bring myself to pay $40, $50 or $60+ for a single wireless charger. $25ish is the reasonable area for me, maybe a little more for a charger that stand the device up for use while charging. Alas, all
those are still too pricey for me (Nokia DT-910, Tylt Vu).

I'm thinking of picking up a wireless charger. Will this charge the tablet as fast as plugging it into an outlet? If not, how much longer does it take?

wireless charging is less efficient, so all things being equal it will charge a bit slower.
I saw a chart someone made comparing the charge time of their phone, wireless (inductive) vs standard plugged in charging. It took that particular device (a Nexus 4, I believe) and additional 40 minutes to charge completely. I would assume the nexus 7 would take a bit more than that because of it larger battery. I would guess, and it is just a guess, a little more than an hour extra (75 to 90 minutes extra).
Maybe someone else who has done it can give you better info. I personally like to charge my device befer the go below 50% if it all possible.
I had the same thought you did at first but then someone pointed out that all Micro-USB ports are flimsy and that if you use them every day for charging, the can eventually wear out. So I could see it as an investment. Still haven't seen my way to forking over 50 bucks for the thing, but I may pick one of these up.
I'm not that worried about the usb port breaking. I mainly want the wireless charger just because I think it's cool I've yet to have a usb port break on me. I think I'll try picking one of those up at the att store since 25 seems like a more reasonable price for something I don't really need.

I have the Nokia 910 and it takes 5 hrs for a full charge. Approx 20% per hour. They work great for overnite which is what I use.
-----------------
Went to my local store today and was able to price match their website. So far it seems to be working great! It is even charging through an older folio case that I have that doesn't fit the nexus. So it's good to know that function will still work once the cases I ordered have arrived.
Now, did I need to buy this... no... But like most of my technology purchases I buy them because I want it. I like the ease of just placing it on the pad at night and letting it charge. Also it will keep one less wire floating around and protect the usb port for a bit.
Thanks again, OP!

Was it difficult to price match? I'm planning to pick one up today in-store. The website does say in-store pick up is doable so there probably won't be any issues.

Would they even price match the 10% discount if you buy two?
Tempting to get this. I had this exact charger that I used on my wife's GS3. The trickle charge kept us awake at night, so I sold it on eBay. My wife's GS3 would light up and make a sound when charging hit 100%. Then it would stop charging and restart when the device dropped to around 98%. Each stop and restart lit up the screen and played a notification sound. Not good when it happens next to your bed 8-9 times in the middle of the night. I guess its not a problem of you use a folio style case.
I don't think the USB port is going to break in the 1-2 years I will use this device before replacing it with something newer.
When I tried to select in-store pick up at checkout on the website there was no option to select a store, so I'm assuming I'll have to try to purchase it in-store.

Does the DT900 make the sound or the GS3?
The phone lit up and made a sound. The charger doesnt make a sound but it does have an LED light that turns on when charging.
Just got a black one from my local AT&T store. $24.50 plus tax, and they didn't have to price match it was on sale in the store for the same price. This was in Durham North Carolina near the SouthPoint Mall.
What I didn't realize before purchasing is that uses a proprietary cable, and not a USB cable. But for the price I guess I can't complain

I just picked one up from an AT&T store here in Los Angeles. I advised them of the online sale, but once they scanned it in, it showed up as $24.50. That part took less time than me explaining it to them what I was going to use it for!
Odd color scheme. I got the black one, but the actual power brick is white. Given the price, I can't complain...and it works perfectly.

Found this guys store after a lot of searching.
You get a retractable usb which you can use to charge your evo through a computer, or included AC wall charger, or included car charger!
The deal is phenomenal but the downside is its shipping from hk.
Also I can't comment on quality of build until I receive it (ships today)
Pics look good though so let's see!

Notice the similarity?

Exactly the same, except a blue LED instead of red..
Something to think about.
I'll keep everybody informed when it arrives =)
Just thought I'd add my .02, I ordered 2 sets of charging accessories for our 2 EVO's from a US seller on eBay. When they arrived the AC chargers would not charge the phones so you might want to be careful there's something about the charging requirements for the EVO that will not allow just any AC charger work with it. The car chargers seem to work fine, so far.

I bought this, and they can't charge my phone when it's on... hell I'm not even sure while it's off. It can't charge my iPhone, or my evo.
I think it's the same product.
Just recieved the stuff today (monday)
I was pleasantly surprised.
Build quality is good but not great.
Charges phone quite well!
Using ac I got from approx 96% to full in about 7 minutes.
First thing I did was check the output compared tothe stock charger.
Both are 1A or 1000mA max.
Ill do further tests later.
For now though everything has worked as expected or better.
To me it was a bargain and a good purchase ymmv..
EDIT: While turned off it charged from 15% to full in 2hrs and 40min.
About the same as stock charger, i'd say.
I've had a Nexus 7 since they launched last year and I just got the new one on Wednesday. I'd like to get a wireless charger, will any wireless charger work or do I need to look for specific attributes?

As long as it is designed for the Qi standard it should work. I have a LG WCP-300 and I used it to charge the Nexus 7 I bought for a friend. It worked fine, but since it's so small the tablet was poorly balanced on it. That charger is at some Verizon stores for $40 + tax, and Verizon online for the same price with free shipping. The WCP-300 comes with it's own power supply.
I have seen good reviews for the new Samsung wireless charger, it's $50, but it may still be available for half off. You'll need to get a separate power supply, but I think it probably needs to be 1.8 or 2 amp output. It's also larger, so the tablet won't tend to rock or slip off as easily on the LG charger.
You can see threads on both of those qi chargers over on the Nexus 4 accessories threads.

The Panasonic TM-101 is simply fantastic. Toss your tablet anywhere on the pad - and the pad will find it. Will charge multiple devices - sequentially. Nice to have a tablet that is always charged now.

the nexus orb has been great with the 7. my 4 will slide of frequently but I've had no problems with the 7
I bought the Samsung charger with 50% off coupon and so far, it works with original nexus(2 amp) plug, 2013 Nexus(1.35 amp) plug, iphone 4s/5 plug(don't know what amp).
I like that I can lay the Nexus down cross ways to see the charging indicator led come on, also works with i-blason folio case on the Nexus.
So I lay it down to see the led come on, hear the little tone from Nexus telling me that's it's charging, I close the magnetic cover and turns the screen off. I wake up next morning and it was fully charged from ~20%.
So, I'd say the Samsung charger with 50% off coupon is worth it. I think they are backordered right now though.
Any Qi charger should work. The Samsung 50% off deal is nice bout out of stock.
I JUST FOUND THIS, AT&T has the Nokia DT-900 at half off currently. That's $24.50 plus tax.

I have read that the Panasonic TM-101 will stop charging once you device reaches 100% then not touch it again to keep up the charge as the phones drains in sleep mode. Something that most other chargers do. That would just bug me.
Even though it cool, I'll be satisfied with the Nokia DT-900 I paid $25 for, and eill keep my device topped off.
Looks like you already made your choice, but I was going to put in another vote for the Panasonic TM101.
I also have a Nokia DT-900, which looks nice and is compact. The only problem is that the Nexus 7 is large compared to the charging plate, and it'll take a bit of practice to perfectly center your tablet onto the charging plate when you can't really see the charging plate under the tablet.
The Panasonic one, as you've probably read by now, automagically positions the charging coil via motors to line it up with your device. The coils light up when they move, so you can visibly see the charging coils as they center behind your Nexus 7. You can hear the motors working, but it's only about as loud as a quiet inkjet printer, so it doesn't really bug me at all.
As far as cases are concerned, you should be fine as long as the case isn't made of metal, and as long as the case isn't too thick. After experimenting a bit with placing a magazine between my N7 and the charging plate, you can get away with about 1/4" of space and still be able to charge.
Also, if you put two devices on the Panasonic, it will charge one and then move over and charge the second. I also read - somewhere - that when one of them drops down to 90%, it will charge again. Unproven by me, since my tablet is always fully charged when I pick it up. Loving it - neatest gadget I have bought in a long time.

I'm not sure what your talking about. I just roughly center my N7 on the Nokia DT-900 and it charges. I'd have to be grossly off for it not to charge. As long as I'm placing my N7 on the charger and not tossing from 2 feek away it works flawlessly. Something must be wrong with either your N7 or your charger.

If that's true, that sounds great. But read or saw a video review that said the opposite. I don't own the Panasonic TM-101, so I don't know which is correct. Maybe someone who has first hand knowledge can chime in.

I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.

Round or rectangle, its just a personal preference.
I wouldn't mind a small super shallow one for my carholder.
Yea..or. You can buy the Nokia DT-900 Qi Plates from a known company with history for $25 shipped new in box on ebay all day long.
And unlike either of those it comes with both a AC Adapter and cable and does not ship from China.

I work for AT&T and the Nokia DT-900 is currently 50% off. It's not advertised and I didn't even know about it until I scanned it and saw it. Lucky me I get an added 40% discount. I'm not into wireless charging, but for only $15 I'll take it!
Getting back to the Lerway... I own one and it's a pretty decent charger. Not too finicky about positioning and appears to charge as fast as hardwired. It's actually a rubberized plastic which I didn't realize from the pictures, this compliments the N5 quite nicely.
But, if you can get a Nokia for 5 bucks more, don't be stupid, go for the Nokia.
I have two Nokia Qi chargers, one at work and one at home. They're great with the Nexus 5, no problems at all.
ONE WARNING THOUGH: The DT-900 use a proprietary charging cord. Not micro USB. Don't get the DT-900 for use in your car, it won't work!
They make a car charger, with a one piece cord that plugs into a car cigarette charger, but that is the CR-200 and will cost you more than the on-sale prices people have posted.
I have mentioned it few times now but the one in eBay is 10 dollars and change and works great . nice packaging too and ships fast . that's what I use every night.

Hey I have the same charger. Can you try this for me.
Get a battery lower than 90%. Turn on Maps and set it to navigate somewhere. Put brightness at half and play music (at any volume). Can you watch your temperatures and see if you end up pushing 45C which implies "overheat" and therefore you won't charge?
Grabbed a generic one from eBay for 12 bucks been using for a month now its real big and does an excellent job.

I don't see why would you be using your phone while wireless charging. using your phone while charging kills the battery R.I.P my AT&T HTC One X, but ill try it once it arrives.
This is the one I'm currently using. Just a generic Qi charger off ebay. Has the same 5V 1A output as pretty much all other Qi chargers.
Works pretty good, no complaints.

I don't see why would you be using your phone while wireless charging. using your phone while charging kills the battery R.I.P my AT&T HTC One X, but ill try it once it arrives.

The Nokia one was through AT&T. The bad thing is uses a barrel plug for power, which makes it a bad choice for travel. It is also bowled out, so the phones don't sit flat, which is kind of stupid.
Most will all work the same. The only difference between the cheaper models compared to the more expensive ones are the features. More expensive ones typically have multiple coils inside to allow multiple positions and ease of use. Cheaper ones typically only have 1 which means you have to sit it in the "sweet spot" vs just plopping your device down.
Some Qi chargers also have different methods for keeping the charge topped off. Some just reach 100% and turn off, so your phone starts consuming batter at 4am = 75% remaining when you wake up. Others will stop, start, stop, start, stop, start... which is ok... unless it has lights and beeps every time it starts/stops. Some describe it as a beeping musical/lightshow at 5am. Most should reach 100% and begin to trickle charge to keep it up.
So know what you're buying and make sure if you buy a cheap model/off brand, you can repurpose it or return/exchange if it doesn't work to your expectations. I've moved my cheaper ones into my home/work offices and I have a good Samsung model by my bedside.

Yeah, no worries on the flat charger I have. It only makes 1 initial beep when connected and that's it. Actually, I'm not sure if it's the charger or the phone that makes the beep haha. When it reaches 100% there's no extra sounds. It also keeps the phone topped off. So when I wake up in the morning it's fully charged, and cool to the touch.
here is what I got off of DX.com and it works perfectly

It's not even worth it at $12. Even being from Nokia, it only has a 750mA output current, so the charge time is going to be super slow. The one the OP posted has 1A output. The generic ones I posted are much cheaper and have 1A output.
I just received it today and it works like it should and it seems like charging is faster with the wireless chargers and the USB with the AC adapter

Figured I'd give that one a shot myself after seeing your post. Can't go wrong with a basic model that does the job well eh, especially at that price.

Yes it will charge faster from an AC adapter (if the amps are enough to fully power the charger) compared to USB into a computer. If you use a PC/Mac USB port there generally is not enough current to allow the charger to operate at full speed. If you have a charger that is 5V/1.5A Input make sure you have a USB adapter that provides at least the same output. If you have an adapter that provides higher (ex: 5V/2A) that is fine as too as the charger will only draw what it needs.

Exactly! It's functional and gets the job done nicely. And under $12, you can't go wrong.

I ended up getting mine at Best Buy with their 25% off 3 accessories deal. I needed a couple of other Apple branded accessories for family members so it worked out OK.
I really like this charger. I am sure it will be cheaper soon, but I wanted it now.

I got the same Samsung ones on Amazon. Certified Factory refurbished $24.99 for just the dock with a 90 day warranty. $27.98 with the samsung fast charge AC Adapter. Mine worked perfect. No signs of wear, looked brand new.

Edit: After reading the reviews on this one from Amazon i'd beware. If i would've read them i'm sure i wouldn't have purchased. That being said, mine is working fine with the s8 Plus... unlike the $50 luxurious wood QI charger i recently purchased for my s7. which just pauses on the s8. This one performs as i would expect, hopefully it has some longevity to go along with it.

My apologies. I like yours better. Seems to have a more pronounced lip to hold the phone from sliding off while in upright position. With mine, if the wind blows it'll slide off lol. Are you completely happy with it?

The first ones were the ones Woot was selling two for $59.99.
Wow, those second ones are expensive for just one charger. I guess I lucked out with the Woot sale.The lip on these is good. If I'm not paying attention and set the device down it can slide off, but it doesn't happen often.
Oh, and the Woot sale is back in stock.

You guys must have the right touch.
I can't get my s8+ to work consistently on any of my Samsung Wireless chargers (The one from woot). Somedays they work fine, most days it pauses and drains the battery trying to charge. Not to mention they slide off as the lip doesn't seem really deep enough. I'm going to try the jet.com deal. Thanks OP!
Edit: FYI, select the Tan charger, then in the detail page, change the color to black. That's where the cheaper one is.
I'm getting two for $100.20 after all discounts! Who hoo!

I've been using this for about a month now. Are you using it with a case? If so, make sure the case allows wireless charging
no no case ,and the power plug that came with the phone,,mine only arrived yesterday and if you shake it it feels there is something loose inside ,,could you check yours to see if it rattles? thanks

No, nothing in either one of mine rattles. It sounds like something may have broken off inside. Contact woot and see about getting a replacement. If you put the charge on your credit card, they should cover you as well.
thank you for your time
