Does this case work with wireless charging?

Hi!Yes, our Slim Armor along with our Neo Hybrid will work with wireless charging :)

I put my Nexus 4 inside the case and it was able to charge wirelessly... in fact, the case I use on my Nexus 4 is thicker than this one and I've never run into issues with wireless charging.

Yes, I was able to wirelessly charge my Nexus 5 with the Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid SPIGEN cases.

Unfortunately no. For wireless charging to work, the case has to have an "antenna" or coil to receive the electromagnetic energy and transmit it to the battery. Samsung has a good, thin, back that replaces the original one and allows wireless charging at the cost of a slightly heavier and thicker phone. I have it and I like it. It charges at about half the rate of AC charging, but better than USB.

I don't know since I don't have a wireless charger. But the case does add bulk in the back part. You can see a relatively thick layer of rubber which increases the thickness of the phone. This in turn makes the phone more manageable; easy to pick up.

Just got this case, and fully assembled it DOES NOT work with the wireless charger that Google sells. When I take off the hard shell (with the kickstand) and leave on the soft rubber skin, then the battery charge indicator does come on, but the phone doesn't feel very magnetically secure on the charging stand (there's just barely some magnetic attraction left.) With the hard shell on, there's no appreciable magnetic hold and no charge indicator (possibly the metal pins in the kick stand interfere with the resonant EM energy transfer, and possibly the hard shell also creates too much distance between the phone and the charging surface.)

Yes it will work with the wireless charging pad and will allow cords to be plugged in without taking it off.

Yes. We use the case with the Nokia wireless charger & have had no problems.

You never know. I got off the phone with Google and they said they can't say that the wireless charger will work with any case since its not designed to. So I think you take your chances.

I have not tried. It is a thin case and I've charged other phones with thicker cases wirelessly but I can't say for sure.

Sorry, I don't have wireless charging therefore I am unable to answer your question.

This case definitely hinders wireless charging. There are two parts to the case: a hard plastic shell, and a soft rubber shell. Without the hard shell it works fine, but with both parts of the case, it will not wirelessly charge.

Well... despite Spigen's answer, my experience says no. Neither of my Qi Wireless chargers work with the case on but they both work well with the case off. I bought an OEM back from a dealer in Europe to make it happen with my D851. I was disappointed that the case didn't work with Qi wireless charging, but I'm otherwise really happy with it. I'll unfortunately need to look into another case now...

no i have the case and it works with QI wireless charging---- unless you have a case which is PMA compatible

It does yes, but I'd suggest buying a different wireless charger as it's a VERY tight fit against the battery cover.

It does not. No cases do. I had to do the wireless charging mod for that to work:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc-o8qQBPSg

I wish I could help, but I don't use a wireless charger. The case is fairly thin. The backside probably measures about 0.75mm in thickness.

I use this case with the wireless charger. You have to be a little more careful placing it on the pad than you would with a thinner case, but otherwise it works great!

Thank you for your inquiry!The Slim Armor case has been designed to be compatible with the built in Qi Wireless charging function of the Nexus 5 :)
