Any cases that work well with the wireless charging?

[jevs656]

I cannot find any info on cases that might work with the Note 8 and the wireless charger.

there's a topic on android central portal discussing this with a lot of info:

I'm using the Otterbox Commuter and it works fine.

By "the" wireless charger, if you're referring to the 2017 Samsung Convertible Charger, the overwhelming majority of cases are compatible.

You can find videos on YouTube of people testing a range of cases and wireless charging for the S8. Expect similar compatibility for the Note 8.

Even Google searching a specific case + wireless charging, or reaching out to the manufacturer are viable, easy options.

The biggest issues with wireless charging I've seen across the board are when people using a case with a metal plate attached to it (to use with a magnetic car mount), as it affects the connectivity.

UAG works fine

I think a better question is what cases don't work well with wireless charging. I'm sure that would be a shorter list.

My otterbox defender also does using the free wireless samsung charger I got free with my note 8

I was looking at the Spigen Ultra Hybrid S case. My car has a wireless charging pad. Will the phone charge with the case on? Will having the metal magnetic kickstand interfere with the charging?

I'm using Otterbox Symmetry. It connects fine to the Convertible Wireless Charger but it is SO slow. So 50% faster to charge via the cable.

Samsung rugged works great with wireless charging pad.

My Casemate cases work fine.

Does it work in the portrait position (vertical)? My Chinese qi chargers don't seem to like the defender case unless it's in landscape (horizontal) position and right in the sweat spot.

Yes it works just find the Samsung charger seems to work spot on if I leave in like a pad and not upright thought

I git a leather wallet style that works.

My Note 8 has to lay on it's side to charge fast with the "Convertible" Wireless Charger from Samsung and even at that, it isn't "fast"...

My Otterbox defender had some problems; it would start off fine, then after a minute or two, it would stop charging. I've also got a Spigen Tough Armor case, and the phone is sitting on the charger now without any problems so far.

I'm using the Samsung standing wireless charger, so the problem with the Otterbox could be that the base is so wide and slanted that the phone slips and causes the charger to stop working. I'll have to test it out in my non-standing charger.

I also cannot get (fast or otherwise) wireless charging to work with the Otterbox Defender. It senses the charger, says it is Fast Charging, but battery still depletes. This is with the 2015-16 Samsung fast charge stand.

I have a thin case works with no problem but rugged case not work.
