What Qi charger would you guys recommend for the Turbo? Would the PowerBot one work well? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4079434
The PowerBots work fine; especially for their low cost. You do have to position it just right on the pad, otherwise the phone will either not charge at all, or will be partially positioned over the coil and get into a charge/not charge/charge/not charge cycle which you want to avoid.

Yes, the PowerBot pad has an LED light. Going by memory: Green means it's plugged in. Solid Blue means it's charging your phone. Flashing blue means your phone is not properly positioned.... $14 is a good price. My only question about this one is whether it has a light indicating that it's charging. That's how you know the phone is sitting in the right spot...
Avoid that charger. I have it, and the phone has to be placed off center for it. I have memorized where to put it down by now but even I'm not always correct. My screen is constantly lighting on because of it activating/deactivating. It sucks and gets really frustrating.
Amazon.com: CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger 3-Coils Wide Charging Area Wireless Charging Pad for Nexus 6, Sony Xperia Z3V, Motorola Moto 360 Smart Watch, Nexus 5 /7(2013) / 4, Nokia Lumia 1020/ 920/928, MOTO Droid Maxx/Droid Mini, HTC Droid DNA, HTC
This one works a lot better. No need to adjust the phone after putting it on.

If cost is not a major concern, this is solid advice. The small round ones are cheaper because they only have the one coil, and yes you do have to make sure the phone lines up just right, or it won't charge, or (worse) it will intermittently stop charging. The rectangular pads usually have multiple coils so, you're going to get a solid charge contact just about no matter what, and of course, this comes at an additional price; some are reasonably priced, some.... not so much. For me, I got 3 of the small round cheapies, and dropped them on my desk and end tables. They look like coasters, and don't stand out, and I have a charging station no matter where I sit.I'm gonna say avoid the round ones, and go with rectangular ones. It seems like the rectangular ones have more coils which give better charging placement results. The round ones only have the one coil in them so they have to be placed on the same spot. Also it seems like most of the round ones are just cheap chinese made ones and rebranded with so many different companies, so they'll give the same results.
The rectangular ones have a grippy material on the whole body so they hold the phone in place, it's not a plastic finish. The circular ones definitely hold well though, but the issue is charging placement in the end. Also the round ones are a lot smaller than you're probably thinking, which is what causes the issues. It's just barely bigger than the size of a beer bottle, so it looks kinda weird when your phone is on it. It looks too small.
It is obviously more expensive but I love the Tylt.
