Could anybody recomend a good wireless charging receiver and case combo that work well together? I've tried to slide several business cards under Spigen Rugged Armor to imitate a real receiver (probably receiver is actually thinner than two cards). The case pops up showing an ugly hump.
Spigen Thin Fit has an indent specifically for a wireless charging receiver... It also doesn't cover top/bottom of the phone so the receiver ribbon and plug fits perfectly. I have one and it works great(w/short version receiver) . Another is the Pitaka real cf MagCase. Both offer decent protection, if you need a heavy duty case I'm not sure which work

BTW, what is the real thickness of a wireless charging receiver?

Hola
Very interesting. Can you please let me know which wireless receiver you are using... Some that I have used in the past never provided enough current for the phone to even detect so it did not charge.
Thanks for the info.

I'm curious is there anything we can put under a case to make QI work?

You can. Search for "wireless charging receiver". The question is how to hide it under a case. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of "Spigen Thin Fit".
I've tried and returned several wireless charging receivers and the only one that actually worked well was Cusorient: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0713ST47Z
The other receivers would only charge anywhere from 50-250 mA but this one has been averaging from 750-1000 mA and puts a smile on my face. There are times I have seen it charge 500 mA or less but not often. I'm happy I finally found one that works well because I'm heavily invested in wireless chargers from having previously owned a Nexus 6. I even bought a spare charging receiver in case I ever screw up the ribbon cable. My case on my phone is a Spigen Thin Fit and while I can tell it's there, it's not a huge ugly bump and the case still fits properly.

That little indent is actually for a metal plate that goes with their magnet mounting system. It even says what it is for on the case when you get it. Now, sure you can probably use it for wireless charging receivers too, just trying to prevent the spread of misinformation

Wow. That's terrible. If that's the best we can expect to get with these receivers, I give up on getting wireless charging on this phone. Luckily, now that Apple added Qi to the iPhone 8, Google basically has to in the upcoming Pixel.
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Google-Wallet-Design-Holder/dp/B07474KKY2
I think using this case paired with a QI receiver would be the best bet right now. You could put a receiver in the wallet section, create a small recess for the ribbon and have a great solution.
Using cases seems to be hit or miss and taping the thing to the back of my $800 phone just aint gonna happen.
Google really biffed on this one, an expensive phone like this should have every feature available plus some. Or at least accessories to add them. I love the pixel, but I love wireless charging too. I missed it ever since my Nexus 5. I have not had a phone with it since, but definitely would like to see it return to a Google Device.

I looked at that one but my concern is the receiver being right against the finish of the phone and if it gets hot would it cause any damage? I've been looking for a case with the TPU then outer shell I can put the receiver between. Have you noticed anything with the finish/coating being damaged?

I've taken the case off often for general cleaning or from necessity of needing my USB port for one reason or another and I have not noticed any sort of damage to the phone or case surface at all.
What about the one CNET did an article on???

I have that wireless receiver on my pixel 2 XL. It charges up alright but slow by comparison. I have a Satechi inline usb-c power meter and connecting in between the receiver and the phone, it's showing the receiver supplying around 750-800mA. Of course this may vary with the wireless charger, but that's what I'm seeing. I would estimate it charges about 30-40% as fast as a wired charger.
I'm using this with a Spigen Rugged Armour case and find that it made quite a bump on the back. I have sanded some of the inner part of the case away to relieve this with a Dremel and it's an improvement. Why they don't make cases with these cutouts or a removable panel to accommodate a wireless receiver I have no idea.
Actually, I wonder if there was any interest in me machining these cases to order. I could make a fixture to allow me to rout out these cases to accept a wireless charging receiver.

It does ok, does better with a fast wireless charging base. About 5-10% per hour with my old wireless chargers vs 15-20% per hour with a generic fast wireless charger.

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.

Does anyone know or have experience with the other wireless charging solutions out there know how fast this charges a device?
Eh, unimpressed. Judging by Google's accessory prices this thing will run around $60.
Here is one on Amazon that looks nearly the same, is only $30, and is available now:

Great qi charger. It works with all my cases, it's not really much slower than usb, and it's makes a very quiet noise when connecting.
It's also only $16. I've been using it for about 2 months, zero problems.

This is a bad misconception about wireless charging. Yes these were factors with the N4, which was very poor in regards to wireless charging.
The Lumia 920 however charged wirelessly without any additional heat and the pad made no noise or leds. It was a fantastic experience. It is very convenient when your going to bed/waking up in the dark not to have to deal with Micro USB. However when I purchased the N4 I was extremely disappointed with the wireless charging and went back to USB, I am hoping the N5 has improved in this regard. Another reason I WON'T be buying one of the cheap QI chargers.

I know. More concerned about how exactly these things are usually configured prior to being slapped in a nice square plastic case to be plopped on a desk/dresser/etc... to see if doing what i'm thinking about is even possible. If they come small enough, i might be able to get it to work. If not, i might still be able to rig something up somehow.
Yes, though I didn't use it, this one seems really cheap. But for me, a reasonable priced product means quality to me. I would highly recommend this one, "RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger". It's really light and a great gadget to charge my lumia 920 in a wireless way. They're also compatible with many models. You can check it here from its amazon page, simply search RavPower wireless charger.

That's kind of what I thought until I read an article online the other day that talked about how most Qi chargers are made in China for less than $2. After reading that I told my self I am not paying over $20 for a Qi charger and found one for $10 shipped on Amazon. Its been awesome and I can't find any flaws with it.

-Yeah, I didn't notice the 1A detail when I bought it, but that is kinda funny. I know it's using 1.5A because I hooked it up to my Kill-a-watt and that's what it was reading- 7.5W, 5V, 1.5A. So that is kind of odd, but cool.
-I haven't tested it from 0-100, but from 2%-80%, it took right at 1hr, 15 minutes.

Yeah, the thing is awesome! Especially for the price. Crazy how much these have improved in 1 year. When the Nexus 4 came out, they were all 500mAh and like $50.

AT&T had this on sale for $24.99, picked mine up there in store.
I just got mine in the mail. It's incredibly fast to charge, but very frustrating to find the right spot to charge on the N7. Anyone else?
I got one yesterday and was disappointed to find out it doesnt work with the poetic slimline. and yes it is harder to find the right spot compared to the nokia dt 900

I thought that it used magnets to locate the "spot".
Yes same issues here too!

I'm using the Nokia charger because I have a few of them around the house and I find it works great even with the poetic slim cover on.
Way easier to find sweet spot on my hammerhead... But still works pretty well.
booooom

It doesn't work with Poetic Slimline? Cancelling my order right way...Thanks.
Mine makes a relatively loud noise when it isn't charging anything. The noise seems to be coming from the plug part.

What's the output on these chargers? I am considering one for my N7 for a car install since otg+charging seems to be a ways off. I like the idea of the magnets which would make installation into a dashboard cubby in a Mazda 6 a piece of cake, just as long a it can provide sufficient amps to charge while the screen is on. Any feedback on this function would be appreciated!

The magnets are pretty strong on the N5, but not on the N7. I have doubts about it being able to work in a moving car. I've noticed it has to lay against the charger perfectly flat (full contact) or it won't charge. If you're going to try for a car install, then you may have better luck with a carriage and a third party Qi charger.
So far the only impressive thing (besides the charging speed) is the micro-suction pad it uses on the bottom. That sucker grips!

The dashboard in my Speed6 has a cubby/glovebox where the SatNav would be as an added option. It's a perfect place for tablet integration and I've seen others succeed. Securing the N7 should be pretty easy and I think with a piece of plexiglass/hobby board for the wireless charger to stick to it could be a very convienent addition particularly with keeping the N7 portable as opposed to plugging in the charger everytime I plan on using the tablet especially if I want to use an OTG cable with a thumb drive/microSD.

It's worth a shot. The N7's size makes it awkward to balance (IMO) since the charger itself is small.
Sweet spot.
Has anyone found the sweet spot to get N7 (2013) to charge on the Google wireless charger yet?
are the magnets in the charger enough to hold the nexus 7 in place? or is it easily knocked off?
Without a case the magnets may be strong enough to hold it in place. I've found mine is very fussy about the charger it is paired with. The supplied charger works fine but a few others I have tried refuse to work with it.

very luxury item, i like this
Just got this wireless charger....it works well without a case, but doesn't work with my DeviceWear case. Disappointing, but I guess not surprising.
I find when using this charger I lay it down and slide it around until the magnets feel the strongest, almost like it locks in.. Works every time.

That method works well without a case fitted, unfortunately with a case fitted the magnets are too weak to lock on in the sweet spot.

I have the official google wireless charger and have no problems finding the sweet spot anymore! When I first got it I had issues but now that I'm more accustomed to it its pretty easy! I just set the exact center of the tablet on the charger and if I miss by an inch or so the magnets drag it into the correct position! Quite nice indeed! I don't use a case though so I'm sure that's a decent factor if you use one. It chargers quite fast as well!
My wife prefers a wallet / folio style case for her phones however we're struggling to locate one [preferably stocked in the UK] that really supports wireless charging - I've seen a number on Amazon with conflicting user reviews mentioning wireless charging so nothing concrete.
I picked up a couple of cheap ones to get her started however they seem to interfere with the Pixel 3 wireless charging link when on the Stand - it charges initially then drops shortly after.
(I've cross-tested both our Pixel 3s against both stands with and without the case, and it's definitely the case causing the issue).
So is anyone using one that works consistently? I'm willing to ship in if not stocked in the UK, so any recommendations based on personal experience would be appreciated.
TIA.
I have just received a Snakehive case. I am very pleased with it.
I do NOT have the Google wireless charger but an old Chinese Qi one.
The Pixel 3 DOES charge when in this wallet case, but you have to be careful with placement.
Also, I would always have the case OPEN to avoid phone getting hot.

Thanks I'll look into it.
The phone did charge initially - indicating placement was correct but would drop shortly after the screen went off (on a 1 minute screen setting). The case in use is a magnetic closure which I suspect is the issue.
Snakehive is also a magnetic case, but phone charges up to 100% (albeit somewhat slowly as it is a cheapo Qi charger). As mentioned case kept OPEN so magnet is hanging to the side. Interesting to see what Google wireless charger will do... Expensive!

Unfortunately the Snakehive case exhibits the same behaviour with the Pixel Stand.
However my wife likes the case a lot, so is going to keep using it and just leave the phone caseless on the stand at night to charge.
Either way, my work here is done ?
One more thought... the phone actually gets pretty WARM during fast charge - especially in any wallet case.
This would undoubtedly be bad for the longevity of the battery - so I would recommend leaving the front flap open whilst charging by any means - wired/wireless, in order to keep temperature of battery at a minimum.
CodeMonkey have you an update? Did your wife get a Snakehive case and the OFFICIAL Google Pixel wireless charging stand? What is the verdict on this combination?

As I posted above. Doesn't work with the Pixel Stand (probably a side effect of the stand's orientation).
