yes..I was disappointed too ..
I have the toughcase and it fits my gsm nexus like a glove with no gaps at all. I didnt find another version for the verizon nexus. I ordered mine from htcpedia.com and they told me they contacted casemate but couldnt get an answer. The i515 is a tad thicker so i would think this should fit the 9250 but might not be perfect. Im not sure about the popcase.
My casemate pop is sitting in my closet waiting to go up on ebay. It's very protective but the charging port doesn't fit most chargers and is Very hard to take off, also the glossy plastic is a scratch magnet. I tried to like it but these issues are unacceptable

I used a drill bit to open up a hole for the backside microphone that was covered, and a file to widen the USB opening, so that I can use it with a car charger. Since it works well with the GSM extended battery, I prefer the tactile button action over the other 7 cases I have (cruzerlie, diztronic, case mate tough, silicrilic, rock, otterbox commuter, generic TPM).

Shouldn't need to drill a case to make it work. It should be working out of the box.
I've never been a fan of the Pop Case. It's either, barely there or tough case for me.
I had a Pop case for the Nexus S and it was a awful experience. I had the back creak because I was trying to push the phone out of the case too hard by accident.

Can you post some pics I was thinking the same thing, but with a large heated pin or something like that.
Do you all think we can make some kind of petition to case-mate for a swap, after all its not a cheap case and they could have fix this issues in the factory ?
Can wireless charging be used with a protective case?
What is the best wireless charging kit, I tried googling and there is a lot of different options, some are thick backplates some are thin pad that you seem to put between battery and back cover.
What are the best options? i'm sure someone here will know
Thank you
btw I have Ringke SLIM lite case, can that case work with wireless charing?
sticked thread. post #2.
i personally have the ballistic sg case.
others have reported that even the defender works.

I have the pad that slips under the stock cover and works fine. You can have a case on it up to the thickness of 2 CDs.
Be aware that some charging pads do better than others when it comes to the distance from the pad. I had an off brand one and it constantly lost connection with my Ballistic Maxx case(two layer case). The Lg charging pad I have has no problems with the case. It does lose connection with a 3 cd thickness.
I used cd's to simulate the thickness of the case before buying one.

could you provide a link to both the pad and charging station? just wanted to see which ones you recommend.
I don't have the link to the receiver that I have. It came with the generic pad that I have(and plan to return for other reasons). I purchased it from Ebay(from china) on a friends computer so I don't have the info.
Here is the link to the LG pad I have. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...id=1368740737&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+charging+pad
The reason I got this pad was add it to a universal phone vent mount, so that I could charge the phone while docked in the car. I needed a small charging pad that would fit in the mount. It's much smaller than the phone so I don't know if I would recommend it for the home. Lg also has another model which is more like the standard type.

yeah, anytime you put some sort of obstruction in between the pad and transmitter it makes it harder for the charge to go through.
you just have to find a sweet spot. i made a dock that lines the pad (receiver) w/ the transmitter perfectly so it charges almost every single time on first placement. sometimes it requires a 2nd attemp before the charging beep goes off.

I've got this QI charger. http://goo.gl/AxJ8d and a pretty basic case that has a stand at the back. Here's a very short video I made of it working
http://goo.gl/xwGb1
It works 98% of the time on first attempt. Though if I place the phone down too softly it won't connect.

Both are on Amazon. The wired goes for $50, and the wireless goes for $70 (contrary to what the article states). It shows $90, but that's from a third party seller. You have to choose Amazon as the seller under "More Buying Options" if you want it for $70. Ships in 2-4 weeks.
Seems to be US only for now, despite the fact that it's an international device. I'll just stick with my Nokia Qi charger.

Agreed, while I like the idea of docks they are just always over priced and never work if you have a case. I have a nokia qi charger on my nightstand for my nexus 5, might as well just pick up another one for around $25 for my desk. So nice not having to plug in the charger anymore.
I have both the docks, they are available in the UK through the Asus Shop.
The wireless dock is a lot smaller than you might expect. It comes with a charger which has a very big suppression core at one end. It will charge the Nexus 7 with a case fitted or even with the case open (doubled up) to expose the screen. It only works with the Nexus 7 in landscape mode and does not have any magnets to hold the Nexus 7 in place. It is far less fussy than the Google official Qi charger which requires almost millimeter precise positioning and barely works with most cases.
The wired dock is made of a semi transparent grey plastic that attracts grease marks like a neodymium magnet. You need to remove the case from your Nexus 7 for it to connect, it is a very snug fit. The base has a micro HDMI connector and a micro USB for charging. Unlike an MHL adaptor it does not need power to work. This is really most suitable for semi permanent use, if you use a case to protect your Nexus 7 you would probably be better off buying a slim port display lead instead.

Cool. I ordered the wireless one from Amazon (for $70) after I made this thread. Even though it said "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, I actually just got the notification that it shipped today. Should be getting it by Tuesday. I was looking for a second standing Qi Charger (for work) since I use my Nexus 4 Orb at home. I'll see how it works with my N7 2013 as well as my N5. Do you have any experience using the wireless one with a N5?

I don't have a Nexus 5 around to try it but recently read a review that said it worked well with the N5.

Welp... Just received the wireless charger. First off, let me say, it works wonderfully with the N7 2013, which one would hope considering this Qi charger was made specifically for it. It does look pretty slick and is A LOT smaller than I was anticipating. However, I'm sad to say that it's going back to Amazon. The main reason is that it doesn't work with my Nexus 5 like I was hoping it would. I have my N5 in a Diztronic TPU case, and the bottom lip of the case apparently raises it just high enough to be out of range of the charging coils. It will charge without a case, but I'm not about to commit to taking it out of the case every single time I want to use this charger for my N5. The only reason I could justify paying this price was if I would be able to use it on my N7 AND N5. I guess I'll just wait for the Tylt Vu to go back on sale again and pick that up instead. Pretty disappointed.
It is surprisingly smaller than you expect, whoever took the promo pictures should give Tom Cruise a call.
Shame it's not compatible with your N5 in it's case, that is a little surprising as this is the most unfussy Qi charger I have used to date.

Yeah I just got mine last week and I think I might be sending it back as well. The bottom lip isn't big enough to secure the N7 2013 while its in my poetic case so it doesn't really work as the "plot-and-charge-grab-and-go" solution that I hoped it would.
Bummer :crying:
Hello, sorry for my bad English: (
I wanted to buy this Vertical Stand http://www.amazon.it/Bluelounge-MO-BL-EU-Milo-Black/dp/B005LNM1NK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393771440&sr=8-1&keywords=milo for use with my Nexus 5 ... But I'm not sure, I'm afraid that ruins the rear wheel of my Nexus 5 ... They are micro-suction cups. You know you help me? Thank you!
UPDATE
I'd say the Nexus cut-out on the back might interfere with the suction since the cutout would overlap with the edges of the suction area and create gaps.

Eeeeeemh what?
I have that stand. Works kinda well with naked Nexus, but with my Diztronic case it does not work.. Also, you need to clean the micro suction part with tape every few days cause dust reduce the stickiness. Overall it's a great looking stand on my desk. Not a great Nexus stand.

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts or has even tried these types of car mounts.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexcon-Magn...lde-/221655676812?hash=item339bb5378c&vxp=mtr
Its magnetic so I was wondering if people thought our Nexus 5 would work with it without the metal plate they supply. Seeing as the Nexus 5 has magnets in it's back I would think the only question is if the magnets used are attracted to the ones in the Nexus 5 and the placement of the magnets. I may get one to try out but I wanted to see people's thoughts anyway.
Well as far as I am informed and seen, inside your nexus 5 are metal discs not magnets, the magnets comes in the original nexus 5 wireless charger. Hope this make it more clear, and I think they made it a bit vague so you would get it then they would simply tells you to get their magmatic cover !!!

I wasn't sure if inside the Nexus 5 are magnets or, as you say, metal disks. I know my old Palm Pre had magnets in the back of the phone for it's TouchStone charger. I actually have two of those. And the Nexus 5 actually connects with that really well. Almost like it was made for it. If these docks are similar to what the TouchStone charger is as far as magnet placement, it should work really well without that metal plate they give you. But the plate does come with it to use with a phone case just in case. So I may just put down the 10 bucks or so and see how it goes.
Cool let me know what turns out, I may kick one too off ebay
I have this one in my car http://www.amazon.com/InfiniApps-Smartphones-Cradle-less-Quick-snap-technology/dp/B00DPMNNUO/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1427845784&sr=8-38&keywords=magnetic+car+mount
It works very well, and the phone stays locked in place. It attaches to the 4 metal plates in the back cover of the Nexus 5 meant for the official Qi charger. You can't use a case though, or the magnets won't be strong enough to hold. If you do use a case (thin TPU or thin hard case only) then you will need the metal plate insert for it to work. But even still, the phone sticks way better without a case. It sticks best in vertical position, if you do landscape it needs to be centered perfectly or it will start to twist back to vertical over big bumps, it won't come off, but it will turn.
I use an nGroove Snap (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Magnetic-Smartphones-Tablets/dp/B00HMDYH2U) and it works just fine even without the metal plate.

Good to know that these do in fact work without those metal plates. I thought they'd might but thanks for confirming it. I don't use a case so it should be perfect for me. I'll definitely be getting one now.
Made my own car charger. Too bad my Spigen case is too thick, so can't use it. Or I just have to risk breaking my phone by not using the case..... Dilemma...
I use kenu airframe + google Nexus qi charger = perfect solution.
I ended up buying this one and it works perfectly.

Do you need to use the included magnetic stickers? Or will it lock to the magnets inside the phone?

Nope. It works as is. And it works nicely too. If the next Nexus doesn't have magnets, I'm going to be sad.
I have another mount, I believe it's called "iMagnet" which is almost identical. After using it for the past year with my nexus 5, I have some gripes about it. It's not an incredibly solid grip, which means every bump is going to make your phone start rotating one way or the other. I like to place my phone in landscape mode but since it's in landscape mode, the phone will twist on the mount until it's touching the dash. I'll periodically move the phone back to the center of the mount while I'm driving which probably isn't safe. Ive used my phone with cases, without cases, with dbrand skins, without. The official Google "bumper" and my spigen neo hybrid are both too thick for the mount to have a good hold, so it really slides all over the place. Using a skin, doesn't affect it too much though. If I were to get another car mount I wouldn't get one of these. It's not horrible, but it just gets annoying.

I have one, and I love it. I've got one of the slim Spigen cases and I put one of the metal plates between the phone and the case. I had to play with the position to make sure I could still use NFC, Qi charging, and GPS worked fine.
Now I feel super confident in my purchase. Thanks guys!

I just received it in the mail, and the build quality seems pretty good. I just had neck surgery the other day, so I won't be able to use it for at least a few weeks. I can't wait to try it out!
