Nexus Charging Orb Available

[Reptile1990]

I'm going to wait and see how, or if, it will charge through cases.

This. I want to get a Rearth Rinke slim case and im wondering if it will even be able to stay on the charger let alone charge.

Did you notice that battery status/charging screen? Preview of upcoming software update?

already got my Zens Qi Charger so I'm good and it works well. Was only $47 after tax and shipping.

ordered mine !!! Almost got 2 .... we will see how much I like it before getting another.

Looks like Google decided to promote its own app instead of a third party. Ha I must admit, I downloaded that battery app because it looked cool in the picture.

In Canada, play store is now listing "Nexus 4 Wireless Charger is not available in your country." SOB, I hope that is just temporary. This was one feature I really wanted. I know I can get it through other online vendors or even other Qi chargers but I'm getting impatient and want this one!

Whoever is head of operations at Google tasked with planning needs sacking, rehiring then sacking again as one sacking wouldn't do justice.

Quite why they didn't have a supply of every official accessory (and phones) available in every country from launch I'll never know.

So a number of chargers will be available in one, possibly two countries in the world. Google should check their own prog, Google Earth. They'll find there's considerably more than two countries in the world.

This really is an unsatisfactory chain of events from a huge corporation like that. No phones for ages, no tablets for ages, still no official accessories in 99% of the markets they sell their products in despite these products being out for months.

C'mon. Your gear is truly great, now match that with the kind of service those products and the people that buy them, deserve.

I find that its very expensive add-on. $71 with shipping and tax is pretty steep. going to keep charging it the old way for now...

Also got the ZENS charger last week. It works flawlessly, even with cases. I really like the Orb, but at a difference of $30 it's not worth it.

Yes, just got the shipping notice.

Sadly, I'm planning on taking Friday off from work and we get Monday off as a holiday. So I might not get the charger until Tuesday!

How do you know it works "just as good"? Have you read reviews of or used the orb charger?

Magnets

Truly magnets, or rubber O-rings?

 

[VSG28]

I would not trust O-rings to hold a phone at that angle. I am pretty sure the phone has magnets in it.

Just received my shipping notice this morning.
