So the other day I was searching Amazon for Qi chargers and came across this:
Amazon.com: Ubest DIY Qi Wireless Charger PCBA Circuit Board With Qi-Standard Coil Wireless Charging Accessories: Cell Phones & Accessories
Basically, a bare circuit board Qi charger for pretty cheap (About 13USD), Ships from China.
So I bought two. Arrived yesterday, they threw in a bonus capacitive stylus BTW.
Now, I have seen mods for the Nokia charger here on WP Central, but this opens up more opportunities for unique/cool/silly Qi mods.
For example, here's one I found over at XDA-devs, starts out with a custom wood stand, but later in the thread someone made a 3D printed version:
[DIY] Magnetic, Wireless Wood Charging Stand | Google Nexus 5 | xda-developers
(I'm not so sure about the magnet though)
Myself? I took the lazy way and stuffed one into a cassette case:
Red light: No device
Blinking red light: Weak alignment, I think.
Blue light: Charging
No Light: Finished charging
I'll probably do something fancier some time later.
