Case that supports magnetic card mount and wireless charging?

[skinote]

Are there any cases besides the sold out Pitaka one that support both features?

XVIDA StickyPad compatible with most cases

Are there any cases besides the sold out Pitaka one that support both features?

Apologies for the long reply...

You can check out XVIDA. I use the XVIDA Car Mount and an XVIDA StickyPad. (Note the XVIDA StickyPad works with the phone naked or with a smooth back case)
The are three variants. Suction Cup, Air Vent, and CD Slot Mount.
I also use their Desk Mount and Mountable Pad.

I am not sure if the XVIDA StickyPad is compatible with the Pitaka case. I am curious to know though. I have an X-Doria Galaxy Note 8 Case Defense Lux Carbon Fiber case, XVIDA StickyPad, Case friendly 0.33mm dot matrix tempted glass protector, and a uh ring finger thing. I like how the Pitaka case looks not sure about drop protection.

This case and screen protector combo has saved from a weird drop. Flying out of my hands screen first unto the metal protusions of a shopping cart. Broken screen protector near the Iris scanner and bottom near the default location of the back button. Screen was saved with no scratches or anything. I panicked though since this was just 3 days from my purchase.

Note:
If the Note 8 case isn't smooth you need to use stronger double sided adhesives.

I already have 2 scosche magnetic car mounts, so I was hoping for a solution that used those...that stickypad sounds like it might work, though, if there aren't any other options.

Oh sadly the Scosche Magnetic Car Mounts won't work. The magnets have to be around the qi wireless charging transmitter on the mount. Magnets and metal interferes with Qi wireless charging. In fact Qi wireless charging also slightly interferes with the S-Pen when using a wireless charging powerbank. I even got a notification pop-up stating that.

Mophie also has a solution but I don't want a battery case.

Hrm, yeah the mophie also isn't water resistant. Wonder if the Pitaka really is the only solution for the time being...? Too bad so many people seem to be having customer support issues with them!

I have a Pitaka case and it is the only one that works with mag mounts and wireless charging. I think Pitaka is just overwhelmed with orders. Before I got this case I had to use a metal plate a small one and put it on the outside of my case all the way up by the camera for it to work with my wireless charger. It looks horrible but it worked. So when I heard about Pitaka I jumped on it fast. I ordered mine and the car mount and I received it in about 8 days. I would just keep checking back with them. It is well worth it.

Actually.. I did a slight modification to my spiegen, and it does both.. The only thing I did was cut one of the round magnets in half, and then, placed it in the normal indention for the magnet.. And I have used it now, for at least a good month without issue.. I also turn the phone landscape on the charging stand sometimes to watch a video while charging...

Which spigen case? sounds like an easy mod

It was very easy mod.. Took about 3 minutes to cut the magnet.. The most difficult part of course was cutting the magnet(but if you have a dremel, it's a non thought). And it is the thin fit case.. Very, very easy.... Link below to the case and the magnets:

If you are willing to pay the price. Mophie's Charge Force line has this.
about 50 for the case and another 50 for the car charger.

100 for the case for the battery case version

The magnet actually is the metal plate.. So it's one in the same..

MatroxD,

Are you saying that you cut the round metal plate in 1/2 and only using half of the metal plate on the top part of the case cut out to provide more room for the wireless charging magnets?

Thanks

I think your complicating it in your head, more than it really is, in action.. Visualize what I wrote, and then, look at the two pieces that I linked to.. And it will come to you.. You honestly just cutting the magnet (plate) in half and sticking it in the case indention that is already there.. Versus using the whole thing.. It's really, truly not technical at all..

No problem.. Hopefully it helped.. I just thought to myself when I got the 8 that there has to be an easier way to solve this.. I may at some point end up ordering that carbon case (honestly, it's just a sweet case), but spending 50.00 on a case, for me, I have a ton of hobbies already that suck up enough money..

Am I the only one that doesn't use the metal plate the mount comes with? It just sticks to my phone without having to use a metal disc. I'm using a sosche magnetic mount, same story with my previous s7e and s8+, granted I am using one of the super thin peel case.
