There are good wireless chargers out there for $20, or less. They are more than worth their price.
Can you name a few?
Not being sarcastic...if they are really that cheap I'd consider one.

I have the nexus qi charger and use it for quick little charges for around the house. Works well and does generate heat.
My only "ISSUE" with wireless charging is I wish the device wouldn't power on the screen when I set it down.. I usually set it down wait two seconds for the screen to power up and then turn it off.... It's such a minor issue I've never even wasted any time researching if you could turn that off or not.....

Hmm, interesting. Will there be any difference between this one and the one I purchased from Google? Well besides the $30 price difference and the brand.
Holy smokes! $5?! That's a freakin good deal! I pages $50 for mine! If I like how these chargers work, I'll be shopping for a couple more. One for my girlfriends HTC one (if it can do the wireless charging) and another for my 2013 N7. But now that I know there are third party brands for much cheaper, I'll get those from here on out.
for those that are using wireless chargers - are you always getting a "now charging" confirmation from your Nexus 5 when you place it on the charger regardless of the phone's battery level? for example - if your battery is at 97% will you still get a confirmation? at 100%?

I'm not a fan. Wireless charging generates a lot of heat which is not great for the life of your battery. Also the sweet spot and charging confirmation can be a PIA. My only experience has been the OEM Nexus 5 charger. Bought 2 and returned both. See my thread -

Avoid wireless charging
Wireless charging is can be incredibly convenient if your phone can do it, but it's not without its disadvantages. The inductive, wireless chargers out there today have this nasty habit of generating a fair bit of waste heat. And while wasted energy is just a bummer in general, that heat will also toast your battery in the process. That's no bueno. It's a little less convenient, but standard plug-in charging is going to keep your battery in better shape, especially if you're some place warm to begin with.
How To Take Care of Your Smartphone Battery the Right Way
Mine has *never* turned on the screen when I place it on my PowerBot QI charger. It just beeps the charger once (confirmation it is correctly placed) and then if the phone is less than 95% or something, the phone plays a bling.
Interesting.... I had the "Official" Nexus 4 wireless Orb and my screen turned on (and it beeps) with both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.. If the battery is above 95% it won't do that.. but below every single time.. Set it down.... wait like 2 seconds and it beeps and the screen turns on.... You then have to turn the screen off or wait for however long you have the screen time out to kick in to power it back off...
I'd be good with the beep sound to confirm it's charging as enough....
I picked up 4 Nokia wireless Chargers back when AT&T had then for $5. I have one in my car, two in the living room, and one by my bed. I almost never get below 60% battery now. It is fantastic.
