Will the phone overheat if plugged in to charge? My current mount doesn't have enough cooling, and that's why I'm looking at this one.

I have never had issues with overheating during normal use. However, I would caution that this is a sealed protective case. If you are having heating issues and the weather isn't terribly hot and/or direct sunlight is not the issue causing the overheating this case will not be any better than cases you have used in the past.

I wouldn't trust it to charge anything. Gets super hot within 30 seconds, so hot you can barely touch it.

I never got hot with mine, unless it was (like Matthew said) heating the battery up for other reasons. Sitting near a window, heat duct, etc while charging. Otherwise i never got hot using the Nokia Qi puck.

Mine does not. I use it frequently with various devices and it has never got hot. Even when I have left something charging overnight.

Tremendously. To mitigate I make sure everything unnecessary is turned off before charging (reduce internal heat generation) and stick it in front of a fan (works well on the clock since my fans on my night stand.) it stays Pretty chilly naked though something about the distance of the coils and power over inductance more distance more hest/power required to drive the coils.

I think high temperatures would be considered charging it in a very very location like 80+ degrees or charging it in direct sunlight. I would take it as the advice given as NOT to leave one's cellular phone in a hot car. Heat lowers the internal resistance but this stresses the battery.

I think it depends on the charger that you use, but from time to time it will get hot, but not hot enough and often enough that I worry about it. Gets the same temperature when I charge my Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nokia Lumia 920 that have Qi built-in.

Nope. I usually put one four to five devices together, just the normal temp, no overheat. I have been using the charger for about two months, no issues.

I bought it for an emergency phone charge. The phone got very hot while charging and only charged to less than 1/2. I got a better charger at the Verizon store that gives full charge to phone and no heat.

If you run intensive programs or cover the phone and charger (say, if a pillow ends up atop it after an enjoyable evening of love) it can get quite hot, but using it as intended without actually using the phone while charging, the warmth produced is negligable.

Mine has not gotten too hot. I use it to charge my IPhone and IPad at the same time.

I'm not a battery expert, but you should really stick to the charging voltage and initial current they show on the battery. Overcurrent will certainly warm it up and it may leak or explode on you, or just shorten it's life.

I love mine. I have noticed it gets warm. But my phone is not my life. So it does what I need it to.

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

I have plugged in all time, using it for photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop then backing up to another external. No over heating issues, it does get "warm" if stacked directly on another plugged in drive so stopped doing that. I like the drive, haven't had any issues with it.

mine has gotten quite warm. I don't use it longer than necessary - only in emergencies, not as a substitute for a regular charge. I'd be careful where you place it while charging.

I have this phone and I love it. However, it does get very hot all the time. It only cools down when it is in the locked mode. I don't really see this as an issue though, but it does bother me sometimes.
