[Nexus 6 Accessories] NADRIGOL:
Hello all,

Just wanted to convey some findings I've had with some case / Qi combinations.

For cases, I have the Stand Folio Case-Mate case from the Play Store, the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Spigen Neo Hybrid, and Spigen Wallet S.

For chargers, the Nexus Wireless Charger for the Play Store, the Fonesalesman WoodPuck, and the Fonesalesman QiStone+.

My Qi results so far. With no case, the Nexus 6 charges very easily with the QiStone+ with a good deal of allowance in positioning, quite easily with the WoodPuck with some allowance in positioning, and adequately with the Nexus Wireless Charger with a very small zone of tolerable positioning.

The cases, pretty intuitively, seem to rank Ultra Hybrid, Neo Hybrid, Stand Folio, Wallet S in terms of disruption to Qi Charging.

The Nexus Wireless Charger cannot charge the Nexus 6 with any of the cases. With the Ultra Hybrid, I sometimes see a flicker of charge, but it can't be maintained.

The WoodPuck can charge through the Ultra Hybrid decently, the Neo Hybrid with very specific placement, and neither the Stand Folio nor Wallet S.

The QiStone+ can charge well through the Ultra Hybrid, the Neo Hybrid, and the Stand Folio. It can almost get a charge through the Wallet S, but not quite.

Let me summarize my thoughts on the Qi Chargers.

I'm disappointed in the Nexus Wireless Charger. I read a lot of hype, and a lot of claims that it was the "High-End, No-Hold Barred" charger. Unless I got a dud unikt, I really have not been impressed thus far.

The WoodPuck is slightly better, and expects the way I expected the Qi Chargers to perform, charging through reasonable sized cases.

The QiStone+ is a freakin star. I love this product so much. It has an incredible ability to charge without having to be overly precise with placement. Not to mention that it's a battery bank itself and is capable of being charged and charging both via USB or Qi. Outstanding, and highly recommended.

A quick summary of my thoughts on the cases.

The Ultra Hybrid has a decent fit, but not superb. It's buttons are passable, but a tad soft, and not well separated from one another. I'm also convinced that the clear back creates its own fingerprint marks.

The Neo Hybrid fits very nicely (although is tougher getting in and out), has a really nice set of materials (soft touch back, matte plastic frame, and metal buttons), and has buttons nearly as good as the device naked.

The Stand Folio is my favorite of the bunch thus far (disclaimer that I'm coming off a year with a Note 3 in a flip case). The fit of the case is perfect, although I wish the frame wrapped around the entire top and bottom with smaller cutouts. The buttons are excellent, with the same textured power button as the naked device. The leather feels nice, and wraps the case with precision. People are lying to you if they say you can actually put cards in the front without the case being spectacularly awkward looking and feeling (The front cover is nearly thinner than a single card to begin with). I was worried after reading so many critical early reviews of this case, but I think it's very nice.

The Wallet S is going to appeal to particular people. It's much bulkier, but the materials are very nice, and you can definitely store two or three cards in the front without it feeling too weird. I'm really disappointed in the buttons on this case. They're even worse and less distinct than the Ultra Hybrid. The case is less precisely made than the Case-Mate product, and I had to send my first case back because the leather exterior was misaligned with the plastic case. The replacement has hints of the same issue, but is acceptable.

I'm done with cases, but I do have a Tylt Vu Qi Charger on the way. I'll see how that works out when I get it.

Interested if anyone else has experienced similar disappointment with the Nexus Wireless Charger? Also wondering if anyone else has found a Qi Charger strong enough to charge through a dual material case like the Stand Folio the same way I've found the QiStone+ can.

P.S. I had hyper-linked the cases and chargers, but apparently I'm too new to be trusted with that.
