Lumia 720 Wireless Charging Shell

[Drewstwitts]

Ive had the Lumia 720 for a week now and generally very pleased with it, the major negative for me is the screen resolution. Held against the Lumia 820 and Ativ S the colours really look washed out. One of the reasons for getting this phone however was for the option of a wireless charging shell. So far I cant find any for sale on the internet at all or even any auction sites. Has anyone been able to obtain one yet and if so where from? Thanks

The 820 and Ativ S have AMOLED screens, which are generally more vibrant. In the case of Samsung, they boost saturation to unnatural levels in order to entice customers, so that's a poor point of comparison.

Nokia's own site doesn't seem to have a product page for them yet, so I'm guessing they simply aren't available yet.

Just keep delaying their delivery. Anyone else got one yet?

I have not heard of anyone owning the wireless charging shell for the 720 - it's not in stock anywhere and hasn't been. Amazon UK seems to expects a 1-3 month delivery time.

Sometimes it seems hard to believe that Nokia is trying the least to be a serious company, even remotely. The 720 has not even been released in Scandinavia yet (not available before the end of this month - maybe). This is a mid-range phone. Yes, there's demand, but the demand is still completely dwarfed compared to the HTC One series (V, X, etc.) alone combined.

So until now, it has taken them 4 months from presentation to release of a mid range device. Approximately the same was true for the 620. So the fact that the 720 wireless charging shell is not available yet is just the icing to the cake. It's no surprise that the market share of WP8 can't possibly sky-rocket when the turds at Nokia has lost their ability to produce and introduce phones like in the old days.

The price seems quite high, particularly if you factor in the shipping charges if you're not in Australia. And only in Black.

 

[Cheewii Poon]

It is quite high, but only option on ebay as of now. Really weird that Nokia won't make these more readily available. But it's not like I'm getting one anyway; to me wireless charging is not that useful because you can't use your phone while charging it wirelessly and it also charges more slowly so...

I've got the Wireless Charging shell with my cellphone aswell as with the wireless charger kit (South Africa)

 

[Drewstwitts]

In the ebay advert it says to fit Nokia 820 so not convinced its for 720.

 

[paras chugh]

why does the original nokia shell not have the speaker hole cut out ? is it going to decrease the sound drastically ???

 

[xandros9]

well, i know the 925's shell has a channel for sound

but you know, the 820 has Qi charging built into the back right?

 

[paras chugh]

i was talking about the 720 as its a 720 thread and the 720's shell doesn't seem to have a channel as its cuved from the sides as well.......can anyone who uses it tell me about the loudspeaker issue ??

Seems like nokia have changed the design of shell. Product Details - Wireless Power Consortium and Nokia Lumia 720 takakuori langattomaan lataukseen - Gigantti
Similiar to 925 huh..?

Not sure I like the side exposed. :unhappy:

 

[montsa007]

I found 1 on ebay.co.uk being sold from HK maybe 9 GBP?

 

[jgbstetson]

OK, this is driving me nuts. Has anyone in the US found a reasonably priced charging shell? Where? How much?

 

[Drewstwitts]

Still cant find one in UK either.

Contrary to everyone here I've actually found the wireless charging shell aplenty over here in Singapore...both Nokia stores and external mobile shops have quite a bit of these white wireless charging shells for the 720 stocked up...just not sure about other colors. Sad that I don't actually want a wireless charging cover, though.
