[Q] Where to buy MagNector-X Adapter w/ shipping to Canada? - Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories

As the title suggests. I'm looking for a MagNextor-X Adapter seller that ships to Canada.
There was an ebay seller but ebay error shows this seller can't take payments anymore.
There there's the amazon one but doesn't ship to Canada. UGH

I found them on eBay from a California seller who shipped to Canada in less than a week. Ended up costing around c$60 for two of them (discounted shipping on 2nd item).

Wow that's expensive! $30 / each. Guess that's the rip off you have to settle with for living in Canada

or u can just buy it from the company that makes it

I had faulty memory - it was actually for 3 units. They arrived. The first one is working fine, haven't gotten to the others yet

Hey, which one did you order? There's two, I'm confused as to what I need/want. Don't have the phone yet.
Any advice? Magnector X adapter or Magnector X cable? (differences?)

As long as you have the adapter you're good I suppose.

Don't buy the magnector. It doesn't fit flush into the charging port on the z3. U had to return mine and buy something off of eBay.

90% of what can be purchased on eBay doesn't charge at full speed and has an inferior magnet. I'd simply modify the adapter with a sharp knife or scalpel if if doesn't fit perfectly.

You can try but the thing that doesn't fit is the metal plate between the two charge connectors and I doubt you are going to be able to modify that. Someone posted a link to an official sony magnetic cable in another thread.

It "Fits" as far as the port snapping into place and charging. However, that's only the metal part, there's also the plastic from the charger that doesn't sit flush against the phone. This allows it to roll up and down and is very weak against this direction of force. So even when just picking up my phone, it slightly disconnects just enough that it stays on, but stops charging until re-seated. These are far from perfect, just acceptable...

Its a magenet, it charges my phone, is only a issue if I am trying to use it while it is charging which I don't. Works well. Personally planning to use a phone with a magnet stuck to the side isn't something I would expect to work perfectly as it is in the middle of the side of the phone and I would want to hold said phone.

you get similar adapter from ebay (chinese seller) for about 2$.
how can you pay 15$ for such a thing?! ....

Link please.
And what you're saying is the easy route... People might also say why pay 500$ for a phone when you can get one with almost the same specs for half a price.
You can really say that about almost everything.

But I am not talking about "almost the same specs" but "exactly the same specs".
e.g.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/191248753745
One End is Micro USB, the other one is the magnetic charger.

Except these cheap adapters usually charge too slow to be useful. I have a pile of different ones lying around here and just one in ten works fine. The Magnector is actually reliable.

The quality of the plastic based on those pics makes it look like something you'd see on cellphoneshop.net for $5.
I would pay slightly more for a quality dock using the connector pins that has some weight to it, maybe even a metal base. Unfortunately nothing like that is out and I need a dock ASAP, so they'll get my $30

My point was that the designer of this put little thought into the use of the product. I have enough "night lights" in my bedroom as it is.
Too bad it will not work for me. I will not remove my TPU case nightly to use this. I wish somebody would come out with a doc that has few inserts (similar to apple docs) so phones with or without cases would fit. I would buy 2 of them if that was to happen. One at work and one for home.
I can't believe you can get this phone for 29 bucks with a new contract in some places, then have to pay 30$ for (what looks to be) a cheap piece of junk like this.

My car dock

Hey guys. This is just a quick look of my car dock for people to see. I got this off eBay like a year ago and its still functional like new. I'm sorry if I'm only demonstrating inside the house, but you guys should get the point. I also use it as desk dock to hold my phone at the moment.
You can get them off eBay or amazon around $3

Wireless Charger W/Case Otterbox Defender(trident)MOD

Okay so i got the official wireless charger back cover from Verizon. With the wireless back on the phone(it adds some thickness) none of my cases would fit anymore. So If you bend the back cover with the wireless charger on it. The charger will begin to slowly peel away and off of the case. You can then transfer it to your new case. So i pulled it apart and put it in my otterbox defender case(i also put it in my trident kraken case and it worked). Works like a charm. If you have any questions just ask! also if you like the mod hit the thanksss button for me
Wow awesome idea! Great job man

When you took out the back battery cover and put the otterbox defender on top of it,
Did it create gapps on the hole of the camera, speaker, and flash where debris or dirt can
Easily get inside?
Can you take a picture of the back of the phone with the inductive charger put in while inside of the otterbox case please?
I never noticed it till i took this picture. However im probly going to cut the camera section off of the verizon case and glue it inside the otterbox so it seals that gap
I cut out a rectangle around the camera section of a pebble blue battery cover i got for free. put it in the case and you can see it fills int he gap.
I had to give my phone/case a good cleaning after looking at these pics lol
Does the charger tell you when the battery is charged?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The charging pad beeps when your phone starts/stops charging. It also has a green battery light that flashes while charging and will stop flashing and stay on when the phone is done charging.
Where?
Can I please ask where you guys are getting your wireless charging cover? It is out of stock on VZW's website, and I even went to a local corporate store and they told me all the regional warehouses are out of stock and a back-order for one can't even be placed!
Thanks, please advise!!

Experiences with ebay Wireless Charge Cover?

Stumbled across this on ebay:
New Wireless Charge Receiver Back Case Protective Cover Skin For HTC M7 ONE 801e
http://www.ebay.de/itm/161058907579...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It seems to be essentially a plastic backcover with taped-in "wireless charge receiver" and a micro-usb plug to use for charging.
I really want wireless charging but this left me extremely cautious... is there by chance someone around here who actually owns such a thing and can share some experiences? I mean it doesn´t even say if it´s QI compatible and such minor facts, seller doesn´t respond :-/
Or is there maybe an alternative I haven´t found yet?

exactly. That thing looks easily 100% fake. I pity anyone who believes in the product or that it'll work as advertised.
It looks really cheap. The wires stick out. I can see the wires getting torn from the port very easily

If it worked I would use it with an Otterbox and carve out the rubber charing port cover so the plug would be hidden. I think that would be pretty near perfect. The only part that really worries me about that thing are the wires that go to the plug, they don't look near the correct gauge.

Bought this and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I haven't received it yet though so I can't comment on its quality but there is a xda thread where people have received it.

How did this work out ?

*** $21 Qi Wireless Charger!!! *** It works with N4 & N7

Copied from the N4 thread:
I just ordered this and hopefully it will work on our GN4:
http://www.ahappydeal.com/product-137289.html
If anyone have any experienced with it, please post your short review here.
TIA
Update:
I had this charger for less than a week now and all I can say it.....WOW and I will order 1 more for a car-mod.
It does require 5V 2A power inverter and it also charges my new G7 (2013)
Even my N4 has a thick casing, it was no problem with this charger compared to other Qi chargers. Placement is also not pinicky.
anyone have anything to add here? why shouldn't I buy this?

Yeah, I just bought a Nokia DT-900 from ebay for $24.99. It's a little more, but I trust Nokia over this brand over the long run.
It looks like I got the last one. The other ebay prices are a bit higher starting at around the mid 30 dollar range.
UPDATE: Just checked and it seem AT&T has the Nokia for $36.75 and free shipping ($49.99 at verizon and Amazon).

^^^ This. I ordered the samsung one for 24.99 and it came in yesterday. I'm quite happy with it. Its not huge but its not small either. Hard to miss the sweet spot when putting my N7 on it. Also, its a known brand. My old N7 charger has a 2amp out put so I use that power brick with it and it works flawlessly so far.
I want one that holds the N7 at an angle so you can set up daydream.
Just ordered a MWT03S from the website in the OP. Will report back when it arrives and I have tested
For those of you also interested in ordering, the "S" at the end of the model name means that it has that slick aluminum bezel around the rim. For $2 more, I think it is a great investment :laugh:

This may be your best option at the moment. Though I read that it only works for charging in horizontal mode (or is it the other way around?).
But for $70, I'd consider one of the cheaper options and bills some kind of a stand myself that I can build out attach the qI charger to.
I don't want to spend a lot of cash on a QI charger especially since we don't yet know who standard is going to win in the end (QI or PAM, other? ).

This one also comes with the 5V 2A adapter, making it the better deal if you don't already have one.
I grabbed the Nokia charger from Dailysteals, but it sucks. It barely charges my Nexus 4 if I keep its clear case on (30% overnight), and it doesn't charge my Nexus 7, even in landscape.

Just a heads up, I received the charger mentioned in this post, the 21$ from appydeal.. its total garbage, buy a hockey puck, place your device on it and pray. Will be just about as effective.
It does charge wirelessly but using it the nexus 7 is virtually impossible, you have find the exact spot to place their small puck to charge it.. and even then it charges at a rate of like 5 points per hour. its barely enough to keep at the same battery level with the screen on.
I also have the nexus 4, even with that device being so much smaller i still have to place ti down and shift it around to the exact spot to induce charging..
TLDR: trash, save your money, my guess is the OP works for the site in some way
