The one’s I have seen are phonn cases. You put the wireless battery in a special pocket in the back of the case that ensures perfect continue alignement and secure it in place.
Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?
T156@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’m surprised that you can wirelessly charge like that. In my experience, wireless chargers are really finicky about positioning, unless they have some multiple-coil trickery going on, which a lot of battery pack chargers generally don’t. Having them in a pants pocket seems like a really good way to throw that alignment off.

Qi2 standard really helps with that. It incorporates the magnetic alignment and higher speeds from Apple’s MagSafe. Magnetic alignment makes wireless charging much better. Still less efficient than wired charging, but much more efficient than Qi without magnetic alignment.
If your phone doesn’t have the magnetic ring baked in you can often find cases that provide it, or magnets you can add to the outside of a case. Though my phone does have the magnets baked in, I also have a Snap 4 Luxe and I 3D printed a case that fits around it, to minimize the distance between charger and phone. Works really well!
