    I wanted to make it work but just disappoints. I phone 5. Got the patch. The plug in part ripped off after about a week. The company I bought it from sent me a case free of charge if I would take the negative review down on Amazon. The case worked pretty well for a few weeks until it just stopped charging. The light came on but no one was home. After that I just gave up.

    Mine works with my Nexus 6 as long as I take it out of its case but it gets hot as hell. That can't be very good for the battery life. Is that 'normal?' My Qi charger at home doesn't do that.

    I got the Dog & Bone Wireless Charging Case for my iPhone 6s and I love it! I use the charging pad everyday and it charges a lot quicker than wired charging for me.

    Thanks 17taco! Works much better with the top pointed towards the driver (and does not get as hot). I am getting about 1% charge every 3 minutes.

    I see this as a non-starter. There's no way that I'm going to take my phone out of my case to use the $35,000 gadget.

    The wireless charger works great with my s8. Induction charging always results in heat, so having the phone do stuff while charging will be an issue due to the phone. My s6 was a total POS, so I'm not surprised others are having issues there. Best thing that happened to it was when I lost it in the ocean and bought an S7.

    When I posted that I was using this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z2M3H7Y

    Since then I went a different route and built a Qi charging magnetic mount so I can see Waze while driving. See my signature for the DIY thread.
