Does this charging mat work for iPhone 4? Is a charging case needed?

In order to use this charger with the iPhone 4, you would need a Qi-compatible charging case for your iPhone. I'm not sure if any are available, but I am fairly certain that Duracell offers a solution that uses a different wireless charging standard.

It does not charge an iPhone out of the box you would need to modify it. By using a qi (chee) sticker near the battery inside the cover or by a case.

The LG power mat does NOT come with any charging cases, so you will need one for an iPhone 4. It is the best charging device I have used, and I have four different brands!

I do not own an Iphone 4, however i don't believe that it has wireless charging capabilities out of the box. I would think that a charging case would be needed. I have a nexus 7 and had an HTC DNA, which both have wireless charging built in, so the mat works fine for both

It comes with attachments for other phones.. I know it would work for the older iPhone charging ports (the longer ones that iPods used to have). I'm not sure what the 4 and 4s have though.

The backup battery can either be charged with the Powermat Mat (the easiest way IMHO),or with a micro connector charger.It will work with the older type Iphone connector that is on the 4S.They have newer battery backups that work with the new lightning connector on Apple devices also.It is a very cool system.

Currently it's for either the iPhone 4/4S Powermat case or the Galaxy III Powermat case. Your phone has to be one of those models and be inside the Powermat case to charge. From the Duracell website, the iPhone 5 case is coming.

I have a iphone4 and it's works great! I was having trouble with people always wanting my phone charger at work, that I'd find myself having to ask to use my on charger so I started carrying the powermat in my purse so I could recharge when needed! I love it bought my son one too!! But you have to remember to recharge it after you use it! Hope this helps!!

I have an iPhone 4 with an otter box defender case, probbaly one of the biggest cases out there and it fits fine, the adapter is essentially like the regular charging cable.

Sorry, it does not. Not designed for iPhone 4 nor any other iPhone or iDevice that I know of.

To clarify for my experience:1.) I did not get any wall charger. 2.) And you cannot use your iphone cable when the iphone and case are together. There is only one port - a microusb port. 3.) As far as I can tell, the charger charges first before the iphone gets to recharge itself. Which is rather annoying.

It won't fit the long dimension of an iPhone 4 without a case. Even the XL is for landscape only.

This is the phone case you put your iPhone in. You need it to charge with the mat. So, yes, you could call it an extra battery.

My charging dock was for an iPhone 4s so I had to buy an adapter and it was too large for it to charge with the case on. But it's easy to remove the case and put back on.

Yes it does come with the charging mat. You can also purchase additional unu charging mats for $25 each if you need extras.

This unit includes only the mount, not the case. I think there is a case and mount package available for the iphone 4/4s. I highly recommend these cases and mounts. I have even "face timed" while on the bike. Really cool. Also, check out "Map My Ride" app.

Only if you buy the adaptor for charging. It is for the larger charging dock of iPhone 4. Also won't charge with a protective case on.

There is a hard case that goes over the phone. Part of this hard case (on the inside where it's never seen) is the built in plug that goes into the charging slot at the bottom of the iPhone. I got this Powermat the first month I had my iPhone. I had gone through multiple power cords and rather than replace them every week I needed a reliable alternate. If the recharge slot on your phone is broken I don't think there is an easy solution. If it's just the charger cord (that the phone manufacturers KNOW is cheap and unreliable!) is the problem then this would be perfect for you.It adds little weight and gives you a long lasting working way to recharge your phone rapidly!

Robert J. I installed a black replacement charging port in an iPhone 4. Not sure if the color makes a difference but more important is if the part is right for your model phone. Maybe double check with the seller. I googled images of the part to see if it matched what was in the phone then searched eBay and Amazon for the best price. Also, this part has circuit ribbon which folds into areas in the phone chassis. The ad pictures depict it as flat prior to installation. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello Darren. Yes, I have an iPhone 4 and use this car charger with it. Works great.
