Can you wirelessly charge your S7 if you have a case on your phone that wasn't designed for that? Will the charge go thru the a case, or does it have to be a special case? Charger in question is the samsung wireless charger.

I've always charged my Note 3 wirelessly with the Otterbox Defender case on it since I got the case. (The case is well out of warranty, so it's been working for over a year.)

Will ALL cases work that way? Of course not. But most will.

So on the back of my case, I've got a round piece of metal that is used to attract a magnetic stand in my vehicle. I suppose it's likely that is messing up the charger?
