    I hear it's finicky with locating the phone and your case might not help.

    Strange. My Gear 2 charges just fine on it's Qi charger in the house. So does my Phillips Sonicare tooth brush.

    Neither have heavy duty Otterbox silicone and plastic drop proof cases though...

    I'm betting the silicone rubber makes a decent electrical insulator.
