Wireless Qi Car Charger

[csteiner73]

I'm looking for suggestions for a wireless Qi car charger for my 928. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've read the Nokia CR-200 is a no go since it mashes the camera button. I've seen a ton on the interwebz, but I was hoping someone had first hand experience.

Thanks in advance!

I am following this thread as I am interested in an answer as well

Bumping this b/c I'm also curious if anyone has any input. I'd prefer something on the cheaper end. I only need one b/c my phone is damaged and only charges through Qi wireless charging pad right now (the wired power outlet/usb cords no longer work) and want to have one in my car as well as in my home.

There is much talk about this in the accessories thread.

much talk in a thread with 17 pages does not make for easy access to an answer I'm curious as I am looking to get one as well.

EDIT: Went through the whole thing. No one has a recommendation, only saying that the Nokia has reviews that say it presses the camera button. I would love to have a Qi charger so I don't have to worry about plugging it in and out when I get in and out of the car, and the Nokia one uses NFC as well. I'll see if I can find any good reviews out there for Qi stuff and post back here if I find anything good.

I use the Nokia CR-200. I have this case: Amazon.com: For Nokia Lumia 928 Semi Transparent Tpu Soft Skin Cover Case with ApexGears Stylus Pen (Smoke): Cell Phones & Accessories . What I did was cut out the camera button on the case. You can still press the camera button with the case on, but the thickness of the case stops the arms on the CR-200 from pressing the camera button.

I just purchased the Nokia CR-200 from Verizon's website last week. It is actually the updated version with the pad notched out for the 928 camera button.

Here is a pic of the updated version:

i use this one with my 920, it doesn't mash any of the buttons and i use double tap to wake up as its easier than fiddling with the buttons, ive been using music and navigation and it keeps pace when using both app and screen on .

I was looking for one to use on my drive to VA in April, but I'm back on the hunt again since we're packing up the family truckster and driving to Florida in August.

This thingy could probably be made to work with the 928: Air Dock

The comedy never stops. So I got the new CR-200 from VZW for Lumia 928, and lo and behold, they've modified the pads so it doesn't push the camera button any more! That's the good. The bad...the NFC touch point area is above the camera, so it doesn't actually come into contact with the CR-200, and therefore doesn't work. Wireless Qi works like a champ, although my phone seems to get warm, but from what I've read that's "normal".

csteiner, sorry, not trying to follow you but these threads came up when searching the forum. I don't believe the NFC is supposed to make contact when docked. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just as on my Nokia desktop wireless charger, you're supposed to tap the NFC to activate, then dock as normal. The NFC tag is located on the bottom of the charger to prevent continuous NFC activation.

I have three of these, one for each vehicle.

They're cheap, rotatable, and hold the phone well. The bottom bracket is resizable which accommodates my wife's thicker case when she uses it, and my thinner one when I'm in the car.
