Any decent cases that will not impede wireless charging?

I really wish I could find a bumper that was made for our phones - has anyone seen any for sale? I didn't receive the free folio case with my pre-order, but after looking at it, it seems like it would be a pain in the *** to use - holding it open while taking pictures just seemed inconvenient. Plus, it provides no protection to parts of the phone not covered by the front cover - the sides and back of the phone are vulnerable.


I picked up two LG WCP-700 wireless chargers off of Amazon - I love not having to plug in my phone in. Seems like a better charger than the WCP-300 due to it's size - while the puck is nice......doesn't it seem like the phone would be more likely to fall off since it's significantly larger than the charger? The WCP-700 is almost the exact same size as the G Pro - seems like a perfect fit.

Have you looked into the Incipio Dual Shine case that's currently available?

I have wireless charging with a Ballistic Case, but on an Samsung S3. It's a two layer case and it works fine, but I think it depends on the charging pad. I have two different pads, one LG WPC-300, and the other some generic brand from China. With the generic one I'm having issues, plus it loses sometimes loses connection because of the two layer case. It does not however loose connection with a single layer case. I modded a universal vent car mount and attached the LG charger to it so I all I have to do is put the phone in the mount and it charges while driving. I needed a small charger that used a usb cord so I could plug it into my usb lighter adapter which is why I chose the WPC-300.

I did some tests before buying a case using cds to represent the thickness of the case. These are the results I got with the LG pad:
1 cd thickness-no issues
2 cd thickness-no issues
3 cd thickness-it would connect most of the time but occasionally would loose connection
4 cd thickness-it would not detect the phone at all

If you do a similar experiment, it'll help you determine how thick of a case you can get away with. If you do test it, could you post your results. I'm looking to replace the generic one with a new one and would like to know if the WCP-700 performs the same as the one I have.
