I will be pre-ordering my black Lumia 1520 tomorrow from the ATT store (trading in old phone to get a discount). Since ATT decided they wanted to try and force PMA onto their customers, I will be making my own Qi charging case for it.
I want the official Nokia flip cover, but I don't think they will be making a charge cover version of it. I noticed that the 925 shares the same 3 pin connector as the 1520. So I will essentially be taking the charging coil sticker out of a 925 case and attaching it to my flip cover to work with the 1520.
I figured this gives me the best of both worlds, Qi charging and having a valid warranty through ATT.
Anyone else considering this?
