    Don't know if it is my phone (galaxy s6 edge) or what, but it seems awfully hard to coax a charge out of the QI charger. It seems to only work about half of the time, and then charges very, very slowly. Anyone have good experiences?

    No, I've always charged from the USB cable. I did buy a thinner case and that seems to help a little.

    I didn't get that option with my SR5, I bought an Anker mini Qi pad and it works excellent and fits into the little cubby where I stash my phone.

    Little tree air fresheners. Clazzio black leather seat covers.
    Droid turbo and have no problems. Brother in-law has an S6 Edge and it doesn't like to charge on it. Maybe it's a common problem with the phone?
    I love the charging pad! Way better then shitty cords all over.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    S6 very finniky, has to be in the exact right spot and orientation. I never use it because of that. Seems like the s7s are much better at wireless charging.

    S7e here. Make sure it's seated right at the most rearward right corner to line up the phone and qi works well in my experience. Of course you won't get much charge on a short 10 minute drive but for 1+ hour trips it's great. I can get 25% or so charge in about an hour which is more than enough to keep me going.

    It keeps my baby wipes very warm. Makes it nice for those emergency visits to convenience stores on long truck rides.
