Would the wireless charging back from the G3, if taken apart, work if mounted in a G4 leather back? If LG was smart, they would add the feature to the leather backs and charge more for them.

I guess someone overseas will sell the correct part again then. I don't understand why LG doesn't just enable this a a selling feature for the few dollars it would cost them....
Well not for me. First off, the finicky 1990's style usb plug is ridiculous at best, and even causes the hairline cracks in that area. I hate those god awful connectors. Then I have gotten very used to just placing my phone on a charging pod to turn it on and give it some charge. This is the future, like it or not. Watch, as soon as iphone finally goes wireless charge, all Androids will follow.
Incredible as it may seem but not everyone wants or needs wireless charging. It wastes electricity and plugging in the micro USB cable isn't that much effort. Quick charge imo is a more valuable feature.
Having both though is great . I enjoy quick charge while at work on my S6 to juice up fast ... Wireless at home. I agree a cable isn't that hard but the convenience is nice .. Some may not agree but that is why it is nice to have options . I enjoy it charging, I get a phone call, and I can just grab and walk around without worry and the charging pauses.
Actually the more I read about the wireless charging the more appealing it is. Both QS and WS sounds like the way to go but it does complicate the case/back selection.
So if you get the leather back and then find one of those "Qi Stickers" to apply to the inside of the back (as was possible with the G3), do you think it would work with through the leather... is the leather too thick? is the leather back not flat enough to sit well on a wireless charger?
It's nice to have the option but I'll probably use quick charge more than wireless charging.
