No issues here with the Surface case and Nokia wireless charging pillow, it works just fine.
Did they buy every knock-off charger on ebay and amazon to test as well? No idea, but I sure wouldn't if it was my company. I would just put that disclaimer up and call it a day.
I don't expect them to "buy every knock-off charger"...
However, when I made the original post their website said "Case
not compatible with inductive charging", or something to that effect.
So did Seidio acquire several reputable Qi chargers and test to make sure it works? Of course they did.
Really? Then why did they post a message saying "Active case not compatible with inductive charging", if, as you state, they purchased and tested several reputable Qi chargers???
They've now changed the wording to "May not be compatible.... "
If you're going to go to the trouble of making cases for a cell phone, and you know that one of it's features is that it has inductive charging built in (they obviously knew, or they wouldn't have put up any disclaimer), you can do a minimum of testing, and either say it "May not be compatible", or, better yet, perhaps try a few of the major brands, such as the ones sold by VZN, and state that the case is compatible with these specific chargers, but may not work with other inductive chargers.
I've purchased, and enjoyed Seidio's cases in the past. I happen to believe that the Active cases, due to the metal kickstand, probably won't work with inductive charging, but it'd be nice if Seidio would test them out, and confirm they either do or don't work. I'd be surprised if they work with one inductive charger, but don't work with another, but I could be wrong.
As a side note, it would have made the kickstand much more beneficial if it worked in both landscape and portrait positions. Not sure why this wasn't possible.
