Wireless phonecharger?

[Daban]

Getting a Nexus 5 later this year and I just realized that it supports wireless charging, does anyone have any experiences with wireless charging? Is it any good? Any models that you would recommend?

its slower then wired charging, but assuming you would have a pad next to your bed, you just put it on at night and it will be fine.

The advantages with wireless chargers is that they normally automatically stop the charging once the device is fully charged. It also looks cool. I believe Energizer make a quite good wireless charger.

I wanted to ask the same question about the Nexus 5. I believe Google is coming out with one, however when they came out with the Nexus 4 charger it took ages before it was available. I am tempted to just go with a third party option. What I have noticed is some don't use USB, some make sounds while charging, and some cause unnecessary heat. You have to really look around.

Had a look at that, do you think it would be unnecessary for just one phone?

Google's Nexus line of devices have their own series of wireless chargers from the Play store, though they tend to be kind of expensive. I've personally ordered (and it just arrived) a qi wireless charger for my upcoming Nexus 5 (any qi certified charging device should work).

Where did you order your one from? I can't find it. Can you post a link?

Whoops thought I send a link. Anywho, here ya go. Pretty sure they have a UK link as well:

It's build pretty decently and is pretty thin and wide and stuff. Charging distance of 4~10mm.

Thanks, will take a look at it. Would make it a lot easier to charge my Nexus like this!
