    Wireless Chargers & Heavy Duty Cases, iPone X

    The manufacturers of such all show the phones without a case. One manufacturer (seen on Amazon) even stated the phone must not be in the case while charging. Others state the case must not be thicker than 3 or 5 MM. If I must remove the case, that would greatly diminish the benefits of wireless...

    Wireless Chargers

    The manufacturers of such all show the device without a case. One manufacturer (seen on Amazon) even stated the phone must not be in the case while charging. Is that typical/common? If I must remove the case, that would greatly diminish the benefit of wireless charging. My iPhone X is excepted...

    Wireless Charging & Credit Card Cases

    I'm a huge fan of credit card/wallet cases. I'm assuming wireless charging is going to damage the magnetic strip on my credit cards. However, as we're slowly moving to chip transactions, we'll be swipping less. Does wireless charging damage chip cards?
