Wireless charging with Speck Presidio Grip Case - will it work? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

Do someone know, will wireless charging work with Speck Presidio Grip? I want to buy car mount with Qi wireless charger (https://www.cafago.com/en/p-pa4049.html) and I need to know will it even work.

Why wouldn't it?

Because it's additional material between phone and wireless charger? I don't know, how it works.

It's plastic. It'll be fine. You can charge with a case on.

Thanks for help, thread can be closed, if there's any moderator

I wouldn't be so quick to call it good. While my S8 charges fine with a Speck case on a Samsung charger, a friend has a GMC Yukon with a charging pad built in the center console. Neither my S8 with Speck case nor his S8 with whatever case he has will charge there. Remove the case and it charges fine.

Iv just bought the speck grip case and it works pretty fine with my anker wireless charger

Adding wireless charging & magnets?

The Nexus 5/7 has Qi charging built-in and will stick to the magnetic Nexus Wireless Charging Pad.
I have seen this for the Note 3 that will add Wireless charging: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMRXD9U/
and this magnetic car dock that comes with a metal plate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPMNNUO/
Is it possible to add both to the Note 3 without changing to a thicker battery cover?
I would like to know also. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance..
I just spoke to another user via PM.
Apparently the nGroove Snap holds the phone pretty well using just the official Samsung Wireless Charging Cover, without an additional metal plate. Looking at pics online, i can see that there's some more metal in that cover, maybe that's why it works.
I had also read about people putting the metal plate behind their batteries - but I have no idea how thick it actually is.
The second one is good.
anyone knows of a similar pass through coil in Uk, i mean ebay UK or amazon.

[Q] Recommended wireless chargers

Hi guys! I've been eyeing a wireless charger for a while now. I have the D855 which includes Qi wireless charging capabilities
.
Last time I purchases a generic charger for the Note 2 it got really hot for my liking.
I've had an eye for this one... Aukey N12:
http://www.aukey.com/product/wireless-charger-n12
Unfortunately I can only find this one on eBay Australia:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171730898638&alt=web
But it's $80+ down to $6.99 which is concerning.
So are there better alternatives (I assume there are heaps)?
Thanks!! [emoji4]
Will wireless chargers charge through some/all cases or covers?
It would be a pain to have to keep removing a cover (for example gel or plastic one) to be able to charge, espeically for those that are a really tight fit.
The Nokia wireless charges work flawlessly
The Nokia one is great but hard to find cheap.
Try the WCD-100 which is from LG and you can get it from Ebay for under $40-50. It works perfectly with the LG G3 (with a case). You just need to make sure you have a 1.5Amp USB charger as the WCD-100 doesn't come with a wall plug, just the USB cable.
I have several wireless chargers, the ones I like best are the Itian desktop charger and the Ikea Desk lamp charger. I have the Itian at work and the Ikea on my nightstand next to my bed. I need to put some clear rubber "feet" on the Ikea charger for easier alignment, and maybe find a way to add the charger for my G Watch R, but both work well. I should also add a disclaimer that I have only used the Ikea charger with the LG quick circle case, bit the Itian worked with the thinner cases, not so much with the leather book case (plastic and leather between the phone and charger)

It really depends on how thick it is. I reckon <4-5mm will be able to. I hope to get one soon and I'll let you know when I do.

Thinnest Qi Charger

I'm looking for the thinnest Qi charger available. It doesn't have to be fast charging, just super thin. I have the Ravpower Mini charging pad, but it is slightly too thick for what I want to do with it. I want to glue it down to my RAM mount so that I can charge wirelessly in the car while in use. Thanks!
My old nokia qi chargers are slim enough and do charge my s7 pretty quick

I took apart that Nokia 3 coil and mounted its guts in the center console lid of my Silverado. Works like a champ through the phone case and the plastic tray of the console.

Case for the S8 that is compatible with wireless charging and magnetic car mount.

Hello,
Im lokking for the case that does it all. That you can use on a magnetic car mount and also on a wireless charger stand.
I bought these one, https://store.exelium.net/en/galaxy-s8/189-galaxy-s8-wireless-charging-case.html
And it does all of that perfectly, but the case it self i dont like it because it feels and is slippery on the hands.
Do you know of something similar? or have any recomendation?
Thanks.
I just bought this:
https://www.ipitaka.com/collections/aramid-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s8
I can confirm that wireless charging works with the case on. I also just ordered the magnetic mount, just waiting on it to arrive.
edit:
Here's a post with pics:

I don't think any wireless charger will work through the little piece of metal needed for the magnetic stand/holder. If you find a way, please let me know.

The Pitaka case works with wireless charging and magnetic mount. I think the metal in the case is shaped like a ring which allows wireless charge to pass through.
Slightly off topic. Has anyone been able to find a good wireless charger for the car? Air vent chargers have unsightly cables in the car which I really tend to avoid. What I would ideally like is a wireless charger that is like a cup holder style, has a sticky pad on and is quick charge compatible.
I just dont get why there is a gap in the market for something like that.
Once again, wishlist:
1. Cup holder style wireless charger
2. Sticky pad so that the phone stays in place (Can consider magnetic as well, but will need a case with that)
3. Quick charge
4. Hide wires somewhere

Can S8 be used with a magnetic Qi charger?

I was on Amazon looking at car chargers today for my S8 and noticed that there were some magnetic ones with Qi built in to them. I one that was compatible with Galaxy S7 but didn't see the S8 as compatible. Could it work?
You'd better ask the seller to confirm.
I' ve been selling an air-cooling Qi wireless charging stand on AMZ, which works perfectly for S8. If you are interested, message me for a bonus code.
I'am using the mophie charge force magnetic desk charger, with Pitaka aramid magnetic case. not necessarily compatible. but work very well! Not cheap either.
