What are the chances HTC releases wireless charging covers for the 8X?

There's already stated that US customers of Verizon will get wireless charging 8X's.

Are there any news, rumors or anything that points to at least a tiny chance HTC will sell wireless charging plates/covers for all of us with buying 8X's unlocked or with other carriers around the world? It would be great if they did...

I haven't heard anything about it. I could see it happening somewhere outside of the US but I would not be surprised if VZW is the only one with it inside the US. I am sure VZW paid something to HTC for the exclusivity rights.

At least for a year or something.

I'd be mighty surprised if they did release wireless charging covers for the 8X since we're talking about a single piece molded unibody; thus the wireless capabilities of Verizon's 8X is built-in and probably exclusively. The 8X wasn't designed like the Lumia 822, which intended to have interchangeable covers (some with integrated wireless charging).

I guess you are right. The wireless charging is built-in on the Verizon variants. It could be great for us with 8X's (a black one is on the way) to discover that the wireless charging is in there, but just disabled
