Dumb question, as I've never used wireless charging before: why can't you just flip the phone over so it's sitting screen down when you have the metal card in a pouch on the back? Will it not charge in that position?
- yellow_postit 7y agoWon’t charge in that orientation, it’s very finicky about placement. See Apple abandoning their charging mat whose main selling point was greater flexibility in placement by having many overlapping coils.
- Marsymars 7y agoIt won't, the charging coils are on the back of the phone, and there's both too much metal and too much distance between the coils and the front of the phone. In some phones with removable backs, the Qi charging coils were actually on the removable back part. (e.g. Lumia 950)
