What's up techies and non-techies alike!

My startup is looking to launch our wireless charging sleeve, so we wanted to get a feel of the current market state from people who are familiar or have used wireless chargers. So, if you have any gripes with wireless chargers from your experience with them, do share! From efficiency, to design -- anything! No need to censor your feelings, haha.

(Also, if you're interested in being the wonderful opinionated people that you are, we're building up a community of passionate and opinionated individuals. This community is a platform for you guys to embark on this journey with us as we launch our inaugural product come early Jan 2015. You'll get to be part of decision making processes, and get your say on possible features you want to add. And if that sounds like your kind of thing, leave your email with us at http://kickstarter.novelsys.co. -- no pressure!)

Thanks guys!

Well my first gripe is a case. I want my case to show off my device and usually wireless chargers are ugly.
Second is cable management for the wireless charging plate.

I've never used a wireless charger, so I cant speak from experience. But I love the design of your product. Are you able to post more technical specs like battery size, etc.?

Not currently using a wireless charger but yours looks sharp. Look forward to your launch.

Also, don't you need to have a special battery or something to use wireless charging? I'm not 100% familiar with the technology, but I seem to recall devices needing something addition for it to work.

Currently my problem with wireless chargers is that the entire concept seems to confess "Yes you need to be chained to charging your phone all day" to the point that we say " it needs to be easy to attach and detach since I'm ALWAYS charging"

Wireless chargers are slow, that's my problem. I'm really excited about the Moto X concept of a "super charger" that can put 8 hours of Battery life into a phone in 15 minutes. now that might be exagerated, but I'd rather be plugged in for 15 minute for long battery life than have a wireless charger I'm constantly on.

So the only way I could like Wirless charging is if it became standardized that they were everywhere ( school, library, office, coffee shop , etc )

Hey hogeandco! Thank you for your input. As for our specs we're currently still finalising the details. And for the special battery, yes you'll need a receiver for your phone. But, wireless charging is pretty much the future of charging. So it's an investment for the future, if you'd like to think of it that way.

Also, being part of the Ampere community will allow you to be really have real-time updates on our progress and have your voice be heard. If you're into that, do join our community.

Once again, thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for your feedback (and signing up! Hahaha) Glad to have you on board.

I have no experience with wireless chargers. Your's looks fabulous. Would like to see it in action.
