Hey all,
I have been playing around with the Incipio PMA Charging Case for the 1520 and thought I would put in my 2 cents in case anyone is looking for something last minute or to spend their Christmas Gift Cards on.

I know these have been out for a while and I don't normally spend this kind of money on cases or the like, but I managed to grab this off Amazon (last one in stock at the time) along with 2 Power Mats for $55.

First off, looking at the pictures, I was a little scared as it looked REALLY bulky, not in reality, it's just bulky enough to make the phone feel like you are able to hold it firmly without running the risk of dropping or crushing it. It still fits in my pocket with the same bulkiness feeling to it without the case, so it is comfortable but does not feel thicker.
With Amazon listing the weight at 0.8 ounces, it feels heavier than that, but overall, the weight doesn't feel bad at all.
The case does not cover the top or the bottom of the phone, so there is nothing preventing you from plugging anything into the phone (USB or Headphones). The case itself is pretty snug. I mean you snap it into the case and become thankful you don't have a back cover you need to pull off to access anything in. This can be a pain if you need to access the SDCard or SIM trays, but you get a comfortable feeling that your phone won't just "pop out" of this case.
The Duracell PMA Charging Mats
Now, I have had a 920 in the past with Qi wireless charging and LOVED it! I have nothing bad to say about my experience with it. Now that I have used PMA, I think I am a convert now.
Things I like about the PMA mats I have (I cannot say this is the same as all mats since these are the only ones I have ever used for PMA):
These are just a few things I can name off the top of my head.
Overall, I would have LOVED to have kept the Qi without having to go out and buy an armload of new accessories, but now that I have both, I think I would like to stay with PMA over Qi.
Thanks for reading!

Things I like about the PMA mats I have (I cannot say this is the same as all mats since these are the only ones I have ever used for PMA):
- The construction of the charging mats feel more solid than the Qi ones I have
- Multiple devices on one pad
- With the standard being more popular world wide than Qi, the lower costs of the accessories overall
- The sound it makes when placing and removing my device makes me think I am charging a Transformer (yes, this is my geekiness)
- The slight, but noticeable, magnetic pull to ensure I am placing the device correctly adds confidence that your device is charging
These are just a few things I can name off the top of my head.
Overall, I would have LOVED to have kept the Qi without having to go out and buy an armload of new accessories, but now that I have both, I think I would like to stay with PMA over Qi.
