Wireless charging

[Robynsnest]

Is anyone using wireless charging? If so, what are you using? I'm not very familiar with it so suggestions are helpful. Will it work through a case?
Thanks!

I've tried a tylt Vu, satachi from micro center and a Samsung fast charger puck. I use a SUPCASE unicorn beetle case and they all work fine but keep in mind there is no wireless fast charging for the G6. For me it's only useful at night for charging while I sleep.

Convenience of not fumbling with a cord and less wear and tear on the charging port. Other than that nope, none.

Will it work through a case? I don't care about fast charging, it goes on at night.

I use a SUPCASE. If it works through that it should work through any case.

The only wireless charger I have right now is what's in my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. It works with the (free) Spigen case I got.

I haven't had any trouble with any case for wireless charging on several devices. As long as it isn't metal or extra thick it should still charge.

Is the wireless receiver centered in the G6? I don't like how it is lower than center on Nexus 6.

Seems to be centered.

Wireless Wave where I got the G6, she gave me a free case.

I have been using wireless charging for about a year, initially with a Galaxy Note 2, now with an LG V20. I am actually using one car charger and one charging pad that connects to the mains. Both have 3 coils & are of Choetech brand & they both work very well. I even charge my Galaxy Tab A (6000 mm. Battery) with my desktop charging pad. Both chargers charges my LG V20 with relatively thick case.

The car charger is very nice too. With GPS navigation , Bluetooth & 3G on during a trip, the net charge still increases slightly. Without the wireless charging, the charge will drop by 15% in one hour's drive.

If you spend a lot of time near a power source, then you can charge your phone whenever it is not in use, by dropping it on the pad. The phone stays always fully charged.

If you are away from a power source most of the time and are a heavy user, then a portable battery pack will be more useful.
