Does Qi wireless charging work with a case?For iPhone owners, wireless charging is new and somewhat of a mystery. Do wireless charging pads work with a case?
The short answer is most of them do and with most cases.
Qi standard is a method of inductive and resonant charging that works at farther distances than just directly from the transmission point. The Wireless Power Consortium notes that "With inductive charging, the charge passes between a transmitter and receiver coil placed closely together, usually only separated by the outer casing of the two devices (<7mm)." With resonant charging, "the transmitter can detect and charge existing Qi receivers at greater distances (up to 45mm)." Qi combines both. What that means is, a well-made Qi standard wireless charger should easily charge your iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X, even in a thick case, except for if the case is made out of metal.
Qi wireless charging uses a system of magnetic induction coils, which has a transmitter and receiver. If your case is made out of...
