Can I charge wirelessly through my phone case?<\/b><\/p>\n
While wireless charging is much more prevalent than it was, that doesn’t mean that it will ever be fully compatible with older devices. To start, nearly all devices capable of wireless charging adhere to the Qi standard. This technology is maintained by a group of businesses that wish to standardize technology to reduce waste. Qi-enabled devices can easily charge with most silicone or plastic cases, although metal wallets or pop sockets will interfere. We recommend using a softshell case no more than 4 millimeters thick to get the most out of your charging station or consider purchasing a magnetic battery pack that does the charging for your smartphone independently.<\/p>\n
Where did wireless charging come from?<\/b><\/p>\n
Using electromagnetism to power devices without cables is technology over a century in the making. Nikola Tesla, a Croatian-born emigre to the United States, began his research into wireless electronics while working for Thomas Edison in New York City. Tesla demonstrated multiple times in the late nineteenth century that his Tesla Coil was capable of transferring electricity without a direct connection.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, due to insufficient funding, many of Nikola’s inventions faded into obscurity for a century. <\/span>While modern wireless charging is based on similar concepts, it was not taken seriously until very recently. However, once the Qi standard was developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, the technology took off like a rocket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to Look For The best wireless charging stations should have three important qualities: ease of use, versatility, and a universal yet inconspicuous design.
