    Your link was to the 6 case. He said his 6plus case didn't work.

    My 6 case works great so at least try it out for a few days before returning.

    I have the iQi adapter that can be put into an existing case and I also got one of the Dog & Bone Backbone cases that has it built in. I like the Dog & Bone case better than the adapter because it lets you connect your phone to a computer or charge via cable without having to remove the adapter. It's a bit bulky, but it works. I actually stopped using the wireless charging altogether and just went back to plugging my phone in after a few months though.

    Honestly I didn't feel like there was enough benefit to either option to outweigh the cons. With the iQi adapter (or any other like it) you lose access to your lightning port when it's connected, so if you need to connect to a PC or the like it has to be unplugged.

    The Dog & Bone case fixes that problem, but I guess they couldn't get licensing to use lightning ports so they used a micro USB port for the pass-through, making all your lightning cables useless. It's pretty bulky compared to the phone + a smaller case. Makes the footprint about an inch longer and probably a 1/4" thicker. One day I took the case off because I didn't have a micro USB cable handy or an inductive charger nearby, and I realized how much bigger it made my phone so I just left it off. Hoping the iPhone 7 comes with inductive charging built in.
