Count yourself incredibly lucky if you actually get your delivery tomorrow (Friday). Most will get it on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week due to the weekend and the holiday.

I got my shipping confirmation and tracking numbers 16 hours ago yet the package isn't even in their system...

Of course if may take up to 24 hours to appear but from experience that means the package isn't actually shipped or in UPS's possession...

Would really have loved to get mine on Friday so I could have the whole 3-day weekend to test it, take pictures and make a video review but guess that ain't gonna happen. :(

I might price them up, I have a feeling the official Google one will be crazy expensive and late to be released aswell.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNKS:
I dont understand why anyone would pay for wireless charging. You still need to plug the orb in, same as plugging your phone in?? No. Seems like a waste of money.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Once... and that's it. The orb would be nice if you had it in your car and it would hold the phone and charge it at the same time. No need to fumble for a cable while driving just to charge the phone since navigation is draining the battery.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everett_psycho:
I'm considering it mainly for work, i have to leave my desk all the time and I'm constantly unplugging my phone to take it with me, to be able to just grab it and slap it back on the orb would be great and save wear and tear on the micro USB port. Not certain its worth loads but I'm sure cheaper ones will appear fairly quickly, is be happy with a power mat type thing if it was a decent price
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumcax:
It's very simple. Qi standard mats will work. Others will not. That's it.

The Palm chargers WILL NOT WORK with the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
I'd rather the official one, partly for looks (it looks like it might be what the Nexus Q has been changed into after all these months), but mostly because it looks like it works as a dock too, for both horizontal and vertical, which is amazing - it'll make a great alarm clock.

I think the official one will be crazy high price in comparison to others and probably months away....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
To be honest, £15-25 is not that much when the alternatives are mostly junk quality. I like my stuff to be well made, and the orb looks like it. The multi-orientation docking is important, too.

The charging orb seems to be more of a toy for me, so the price on it has to be very reasonable for me to consider purchasing it. Has there been any word on how fast the phone charges from the orb compared to a standard usb?

Thats a bummer. High friction seems to get less friction-y over time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerdoesntrun:
Con: makes it seem even more over-priced

Pro: should work with other qi devices (hopefully not in the same way that other qi chargers "should" work with the N4, but don't), without requiring specific parts of the phone to be magnetic. This actually increases its value, so maybe the con is irrelevant. UPDATE: Then again, maybe not. Maybe it should have had both?

Because of this, it works great with the Lumia 920 despite it having a curved back. So this is good news for this Orb being reusable for other/future Qi phones!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlawou:
I would say there is a slight magnetism present. If you hover the phone over the orb you can feel a little pull. It is not strong enough to hold upside down though.

My battery got very hot on it in the 45 minutes or so it was charging, 108F.

I got several notifications and a call with vibrate on and the phone stayed connected to the orb no problem.

I have a Skinomi tech skin on the back of my phone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 338lm:
Got mine today. I have no case on my phone, made sure the back was completely clean and stuck it on the orb. It started charging, I walked away. 20 minutes later I find that it has slid down and the phone is now touching the table. What's more, it moved enough to stop charging!

I picked it up, everything looks fine. Checked the back of my phone and the orb, everything is clean, put the phone back on the orb and pressed slightly to make sure there was a good connection to the sticky rubber. Started charging again. Walked away, and when I came back 15 minutes later the exact same thing had happened. The phone slid down till it hit the table and stopped charging. This is not OK...

I do not have vibration on right now, just to make sure that nothing could be causing it to move.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Stays on just fine. The Orb is *really* grippy. For now. Although, even if it loses its grippiness, it's the kind of stuff that regains its grippiness if you wipe it off with a clean wet cloth (that doesn't leave lint behind).

I have a DBrand skin on the back of my phone so I can't confirm this. To *try* to test it, I have it face-down (no screen protector) to see what happens over a period of time.

So apparently the phone doesn't know that it is "docked" on the official dock. Not cool.

If I have it set to 'either' it will daydream on any charger.

I just want it to daydream while on the dock (don't want it in the car, plugged in at work etc.)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkgod:
Just got mine...and it doesn't work. Tried different outlets, with or without cases, nothing. So either the charger is jacked or my phone is. Will the phone not charge of it's higher than 95 percent battery or what?

Try letting the phone discharge. On my LG charger if the phone is around 95%, it does not start charging.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptyx:
I got mine, it's not bad but not as nice as I thought it would of been. The phone tends to sit crooked which makes my OCD go crazy. As far as triggering it as docked, I'm using Tasker anytime the phone is wirelessly charging. You need the beta version to detect wireless charging.

I just received my two a few minutes ago. I hadn't actually realized that it came with a wall wort and cable. Duh. That makes me feel ever so slightly better about the price.

Not magnetic, Seems to be charging perfectly fine through my Ionic Guardian case, which is rather thick.

Clock comes on in daydream just as it does when plugged in directly. Rubber on the back of the case + the non-skid on the orb seem plenty secure to keep the phone from sliding around while on the orb.

Nice to have my battery topping up as the phone is sitting beside me as I work or sleep, easy to pick up and grab for calls, emails, or whatever. Charging cords never seem to be long enough to reach where I want to be while I'm actually using the phone. Fine for the bedside or desk, but not quite the right length to reach my ear without tugging, so that's why I sprung for two.

I might play with one in the car, to see if I can have a spot to just place the phone while driving and have it charge, or make some sort of dash mount. UPS also delivered a new Kenwood Bluetooth digital media head unit for my car stereo from Crutchfield today. It would be nice to just be able to place the phone on a spot in the car and have charging, phone calls and BT Spotify audio all happen automagically.

to everyone asking about the magnets/rings/how the phone stays, this is the best comparison I can come up with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dlN2P3FKnRY#t=26s

there are no magnets, and the phone is held in place by a ring that is very similar to the bottom of the palm touchstone. It works very well, can be cleaned if needed, and will work/stick to any case or screen protector that is smooth enough. It works incredibly well with the glass back or slim plastic case I have.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Just received my charger today and I can confirm that it works with the Ballistic SG case. Also, I have read quite a bit about a "magnet" but from my observations it appears to use a "sticky pad" like the one on the Clingo Universal Mount. It even says in the instruction manual that dust can result in the phone slipping off the stand. Anyways, here's a video with the case and charger:

just a quick unboxing...

without a case and just a screen protector on the back, the dock has to be "pried" off because it sticks so well. no motion or movement at all. i can lift the phone up, and the dock still sticks. i feel a very small amount of magnetism, but it is held on primarily because of the "gel" like rings. no info on the rate of charge, as my phone was fully charged when i received the orb.

Does not work with Poetic Bumper

I have the poetic borderline bumper, the phone does not charge with the bumper on. The inner grippy ring of the orb hits the gray part of the bumper, and does not stick in place. It also isn't thick enough to keep the phone high enough on the orb when resting on a desk.

The phone and orb worked perfectly without the bumper on, with a thin skin on back. Very grippy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrevSo:
I got mine today, I like it a lot. It doesn't seem like it's as "sticky" as other folk's on this forum, because I can easily remove it with one hand and little effort (but it doesn't slide around on the dock). The only thing I've noticed is that to charge the phone, the back has to be placed to completely cover the inner rubber circle.

So far I've noticed it gets pretty warm while charging, but just the back casing (doesn't seem to effect the CPU temp very much).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lootes:
Mine are out on truck for delivery to my office. We have already had one UPS delivery today and I almost pounced on the delivery women looking for my package but it wasn't there. I guess I'll have to wait for another delivery this afternoon.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Judging by my playing with magnets on it the phone has one big magnetic section in the middle of where the Qi loops are. So its not directional, just holding it down.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grandios:
Just received mines as well. As others have mentioned, it "grips" very very well. It's possible to latch the phone off with one hand by placing fingers on opposites sides near the middle and use one side as a wedge.

Oddly enough once my phone went to 85% charge (originally was ~70ish) it stopped charging. Removing the plug from the electronic socket and reinserting started the charge again. It may have just been an anomaly, but I'll keep you all updated if it happens again.

The back plate does get rather warm. Nothing too much to worry about. Loving the orb either way. Best looking Qi charger ever. All my co-workers are jealous.
