Someone mentioned in the Qi thread in the ATT Galaxy S3 section that he had found a charger for ~$47 at his Wal-Mart. I got the impression it was the LG one, but not sure since that price looks higher than I've seen mentioned for it. However I can't find it on their website.

So... the only source in the US that might be in stock is ATT and Verizon for the Nokia charger. The V also has the Fatboy charge pillow on their site. When I've checked the ATT site, they only showed black--but their store might have more I guess.

Please read the threads about the Nokia chargers. A lot of people reported back saying that they don't charge correctly for the Nexus 4's or they need to cycle a charge before it begins to cycle. Whatever the reason, I would recommend to stay away from the Nokia ones and keep with the LG, Energizer, Maxell, Zens and Panasonic that all reported back working for our phones and with tpu cases on.

Did Anyone that ordered from Fasttech get a shipping notice yet? I ordered 2 of these on the 1st and my order status is "Placed"

Same as me. I just contacted them and asked for some info. Will update if I hear anything back.


I just got tracking info (order placed on the 1st). Here's their response:
Thank you for your order.

It has been shipped today. It's weekend now (Saturday) and as such tracking will start showing progress on Monday morning. Here is your tracking number: LKXXXXXXXXXHK

We send shipment notifications in batches and you can expect to get an official notification of this shipment in a couple of hours.

FastTech normally ships packages in about 2 business days and we had a two-day New Year's holiday on 1/1/2013 and 1/2/2013 so it took a couple extra days. Thanks for your understanding!

The code needs to be typed in all caps LAUNCH but it saves you $1.80US.

Mine just came in today, took about 8 days to get to NC from Hong Kong. So far it's working just fine, tho I have to place it with the bottom of the phone facing the power cable on the charger. Current Widget is showing between 500-600mA with my Rearth Ringke SLIM case on the phone, temperature of 35C.

Update: Ended up settling around 650mA charging, temp peaked at 40C. It charged to ~98% and then paused until it dropped to ~96% before charging again.

Other Qi pads from Fasttech

Guessing you all saw the other qi charging pads on the Fasttech website - I'd post you the links but I don't have link posting privileges yet (nuisance)
This one is titled Qi Inductive Wireless Charger (Large)
Euro plug / works with Nexus 4, Nokia 920T/820T, and all Qi standard devices

A few pence cheaper too - shame it comes with a euro plug (though they do us style too) but not UK/Eire

    Charger seems to work well the phone has to be a little off center but other than that it works well. I made a dock it's a little ghetto but it should look better when I paint it white tomorrow to match my night stand and charge. I made it to work in landscape for bedside clock. here are some pics (take it easy on me lol).

    So I opened mine up to see what I could do to dim the LED and thought I'd share a pic of the interior.

    Thanks for the tip! This is by far the cheapest charger I've come across.

    If you're going to order one, use the coupon code "LAUNCH" for an extra 5% off.
