Wireless Charging With a Case

[thekendog]

I'm looking at cases right now but I'm wondering how wireless charging will work once it comes out. I don't want to buy a case if it isn't going to work with wireless charging. I've looked into bumper cases but I want something a little more protective. Anyone know more about this?

Not much info out yet regarding this, but I'm interesting in this as well.

I hope they license Palm Touchstone technology. I have a lot of Touchstones laying around for my Palm Pre 2.

it will be a new battery back that will have the wireless coil. IF you want you can do it now yourself using a palm set up.
and here is a thread about how it was done...similar to the S3

Yeah I've seen that. I know how its going to work. What I was asking though is if it will work with a case on the phone.

I think in another forum I read that a lot of people have been using the palm touchstone with a regular tpu cases. The only problem is that the magnets get a little weaker. Also apparently it can mess up your compass calibration.

To my understanding, the magnet is only in the actual touchstone. The four discs in the battery cover are just plain metal. So it shouldn't cause any interference with the compass.
