    I've had no luck what so ever with my iPhone 6s+ on this qi wireless charging pad.
    I purchased multiple charging cases (that work perfectly on the Qi charging pad in my home) but they do not work in my truck.
    The only way I've gotten it to work is by taking the case off and just using the actual Qi adapter card and placing it directly on the pad. It's like it doesn't have enough power to make it through the case. When the case works perfectly on any other charger.
    Has anyone has any luck with this Qi pad?
    Do Android phones work on it?
    Between this and my messages not syncing, I'm seriously considering selling my two month old iPhone 6s+'s and buying androids.

    I can't find this for the plus. Only the regular.

    If anyone knows of a case that works on the truck charger that fits the 6 plus, I'd love to know.

    I bought the cheapest qi case I could find on Amazon for my iPhone 6 Plus. It was $19 shipped to my mailbox. Works great. The only thing I noticed is I have to have the top of the phone pointing towards the passenger side, slide the phone all the way to the passenger side, and have it pulled towards the shifter for it to work properly, so basically right rear corner of the pad. In a 25 minute drive, I gained nearly 20% charge.

    That (bold) would certainly be your best option. Why suffer with inferior junk when you can use something good, like a Nexus?

    Why don't you just plug it into the 12v plug and be done with it?

    There are dozens of them for sale. I've tried 3 of the best reviewed and most expensive ones I can find thinking one of them would work. So far, no dice. I have another one coming in Thursday. It's super thin, hopefully that one works. All of them have worked on the wireless Qi in my house, just not on the truck. And yes, the one in the truck works, just not with these cases so far. I tried it with a few android phones and it works perfectly with them.
