Wireless charging question

[Tom Westrick]

Hello, all. I am more than likely going to pick up a Nexus 5 whenever it is released, as well as a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. My question is this: would I have to take the phone out of the case to use the wireless charging or would the case be thin enough? I know there's no way to 100% confirm until the phone is out, but if anyone can give me feedback based on past devices or general know-how that'd be greatly appreciated.

Typically the case isn't a problem unless it is very thick, say for instance something like an otterbox. You usually have a little less than an inch or so

Yes it's all about the thickness really. Since that case is mostly plastic it should not have any problems charging wirelessly. .

the Nexus 4 version of this case has been reported to work with the wireless charging pad -
