    That's the one I have, and I like it so far. The first one I bought had a tendency to slide around in the cubby, but this one stays in place.

    Nothing yet... Bought it with TWO miles on it!!!
    I received this same case, the Spigen Tough Armor Volt and a Spigen charging stand, last night. The case works well in my Tacoma, and on the stand, all for $55 from Amazon.
    I'm not sure the difference in charging rate, but the convenience sure is awesome.

    I wish the case was a little more heavy duty, but I think if I get a tempered glass protector, I'll feel a little more confident.

    So far only issue was that it didn't charge twice in my truck. Moving the phone to the front right corner where the charger is located inside the case fixed that.

    If anyone is still looking, mophie just announced an iphone case with a battery back-up that is compatible with QI. $100 seems kinda high but it includes a wireless base for when you're not in the car and it's not that much more than their non-wireless cases with battery back-up.

    This is worth a look for Apple users. Keep in mind that in addition to the case, you get a magnetic QI charging base that you can keep at home and a 1560mah battery that gives you 50% more battery. The case also gives you the ability to charge your phone via micro-usb, and move away from the expensive/ fragile lightning cables. Amazon price is down to $84.95. I've only been using it for a day, but I'm impressed.

    I have this too and it works really well. The only thing is the phone gets pretty warm when it charges on the Qi pad. Anyone else getting that?

    Gets a little warm, but not hot. It's going to feel good in my pocket this winter when I get out of the truck. :)

    I have the iphone x, which wirelessly charges on its own - but i have it in an otterbox case, and it gets pretty hot using the Tacoma’s Qi charger - so much so that i just don’t use it, convenient as it is.

    Hot enough it makes the phone slowly
