This is one of the most common questions people have when they’re thinking about buying a wireless charger. And it’s a good one. The answer to whether the wireless charger will work with your phone case is: “It depends”. Qi is the most popular type of wireless charging by far and it works by way of magnetic induction coils, a transmitter and a receiver. If your phone case is made of plastic (as most are) it should not conflict with this system. The phone should charge just fine. If, however, your phone case is made of some type of metal it’s almost certain that metal will interfere with the transmitter. And it doesn’t take much metal to create interference. Even a small magnetic mount for your car on the back of your phone will likely interfere with the transmission process.\r
