Incipio DualPro Lumia 822 Case

Has anyone tried this with the wireless charging cover? I'm sure it would charge through it, just curious if it will fit over the door as I've heard it is larger.

I have both the DualPro Shine with Aluminum Finish and the regular Feather case (in white) for my white 822. I really like both of them. They make the phone feel less slippery in my opinion and I prefer the feel of the phone with either of them on than to the phone on it's own. I just always felt like it was going to slip out of my hand and I'm not by any means a clumsy/careless person.

As far as I can tell the "Aluminum finish" is just a mock finish in the plastic to look like aluminum and not actually aluminum. If you look on the Incipio page it is a bit misleading because in some areas it says "Sleek brushed aluminum finish for added style" yet in the callout diagram it states "Sleek brushed aluminum look." I believe the callout is correct based upon my case. It all feels like the same plastic to me, just with a slight texture on the "brushed aluminum" back. I also don't see any difference in signal strength between either of the cases vs no case. And their page states it has "Radio transparent materials for full signal access."

I tend to use the DualPro Shine case most of the time because of being active with cycling and whatnot. I like the extra shock absorption protection it theoretically provides. Just that extra peace of mind if I have it in a backpack, pocket or frame bag. I have a screen protector installed but I still always carry my phone in a soft, cloth (Tifosi) glasses sleeve since I had a bunch laying around. I do so simply because I feel like it keeps my phones cleaner and keeps a lot of dust / pocket lint / other items away from the device. Plus I always have something to clean the screen with that way as well.

The DualPro Shine case has gotten scratched up a bit. One day HERE City Lens wanted me to do the figure 8 calibration thing and the table I was next to was a bit gritty. Initially I was slightly annoyed that the case scratched as easily as it did... but I had gotten it for cheap of eBay and well, that's the point of it... to get scratched so the phone doesn't! In that sense it worked and I really don't care. Just thought I'd mention it as it's not immune to scratching.

Here are a few quick photos of mine.
