I ordered the wireless receiver and charging dock from Amazon. I made sure to get a dock with a 3 coil setup so the phone does not have to be well positioned when charging. It works great. Yes I know wireless charging is slower but I don't care. I can place my phone on charge with no wires, no fuss. And at night I don't need a quick charge. I made a quick video:

Nice. Does the phone or charger make any noise, even faint, when docked? I've had a few Qi phones and loved the charging, but they'd make a faint high-pitched ringing kinda sound. This wasn't good when I would have the phone on the bedside table at night as it almost sounded like a mosquito buzzing over there.
 
The biggest advantage of wireless charging in my opinion is, no wear & tear on the fragile USB port.
 
One disadvantage is that the receiver blocks access to the USB port, so you can't hook up a cable without removing the receiver coil.
