What to do about Lumia 1520 wireless charging...

[jbeelby]

Hello everybody!

I just upgraded from my Lumia 920 to a 1520 and I knew it didn't have wireless charging. I figured I could just buy a shell for it, which was no problem. I have AT&T. All my other accessories worked flawlessly with my 920, and it was awesome. I cannot seem to find a qi wireless charging cover for my Lumia 1520. is there anybody who can shed some light on this situation for me?

There is no Qi cover, there is a PMA cover for it, you would need a charger for it too. Since they sell it separately... This is what I am rocking

Thanks. So If I got this case I wouldn't be able to use my previous charging mats?

If you're up for it, there is an insane workaround whereby you can do a qi element transplant into your 1520. It gave me nightsweats just thinking about it, but then I'm not exactly as dexterous as a neurosurgeon. Some people on WC are and it apparently works!
