Fonesalesman iQi Mobile - New & Improved 0.5mm Thin Qi Wireless Charging Receiver for iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5C, 5S for a Soft Case

This product seems like a good work around to the constant problem my family has with the ipod/iPhone cables always failing at the base of the connection to the phone. the wire coating seems to always crack. So I figured this may be the answer. I finally received an android phone that support qi and thought why not give this a go.The first one worked great for 5 days before failing. That's when the dreaded apple device not supported message would appear. The chargers I used would detect it, but then it seemed to drain the battery more than charge it. I thought it could be the charger, so I tried it on a powerboat (never buy puck style chargers) a TYLT charger (best there is but $$$$) and ravpower chargers. Ravpower works pretty well for costing less than the TYLT charger but at less amps.Back on topic. I read reviews and thought if these lasted a few months then I would be ahead of the game. Unfortunately, as stated above, didn't last a week. Tried it with it just taped to the ipod touch, inside a hard case and other various cases. All worked and then stopped. It's quite unfortunate because it appears as if its a great solution to apple not having qi devices yet. The ribbon is thin but not that fragile. I had the Qi logo facing down and the pins on the ribbon down as well when plugged in.It is an expensive workaround but one I would have gladly put up with if apple supported the product and reliability was better.I said if the first one works I would get a second one and I also ordered additional chargers. Unfortunately for me I have to pay the ups charges for the 2 chargers that are unopened and also return the iqi cards. All in all it's a $7.00 lesson.Two stars because it is a good attempt, but the cost and reliability are the reasons I cannot recommend this product at this time.I was NOT given one to use and review so take my review with a grain of salt.

So far so good. I will update this review in a few months. One thing to note, this will fit perfectly inside a Spigen Wireless Tough Armor Case for Apple iPhone 6 / 6S as a replacement.Edit 2017-09-09: I ordered another one; this time it failed only after 3-4 re-insertions. Why did I have to remove and reinsert the connectors when I said in my last update I wouldn't have to do them anymore? Removing it from the case to cool it from over heating. As noted in other review, this receiver produces a lot of heat; enough that when in the Spigen Tough Armor case and sitting on the car dash charging in a Spigen Qi Wireless Charger / Car Phone holder, it will cause the iPhone to overheat on a summer day in Texas. I also rigged a Qi charging pad for the phone holder on my motorcycle; after 30-60 minutes out in the sun with the charger on, it overheats (as opposed to taking hours normally when not charging.) This is a good concept, but until the heating issue is resolved, I will be looking for another receiver for my case that doesn't produce as much heat.Edit 2017-05-05: This has stopped working. The charging plug-in strip will not handle more than 10-20 removal/insertions. Unfortunately I would buy this again as it is the only one that fits in the case. (& I imagine insertions/removals would no longer be an issue as I now have wireless syncing setup on my iPhone.

I've had mine for over a month now and use it on a 5c. It stopped working properly a few days ago.Right now when i attempt to use it, it does the charging sound and appears to be charging. After a while, when i return i notice that the battery got lower. Not higher. I left it charging at 74% and returned after half an hour to find it at 70% with the charging indicator still showing and the phone slightly warm. I checked the position of the phone and the qi charger and its fine. I use the TYLT VU charger so it doesn't take much to position it properly.To be fair, i have taken it off a few times. maybe around 5 or 6 times in total. So it might be my fault that it stopped working. But whenever i take it off, i do it very slowly/carefully.Also a friend of mine uses this on a 5s and has yet to take it off. It's still working perfectly. So before i get another, i just have to ask, how many times can a user take this thing off before it breaks?

Brand new in box. Received in timely manner. Easy to install.Okay, I’ve had this product for a couple of months now and here is my updated review.1. The charger is still working with my iPhone 7+. Have had no issues.2. It gets very HOT when charging and is very SLOW to charge.3. When I need to charge it quickly thru the lightening cable, it’s a pain to have to keep removing the plug from iQi.4.I’m going to have to reorder a new iQi bc my fingernail just split the cable. :/5. Would I recommend this? Maybe not. With the heat this thing generates while charging and how slow it charges seems that it’s not as feasible as a lightening cable.6. I’ve not had issues with charging or using the iQi with my phone case, just that it’s a pain when I need to use the lightening cable or the AUX jack...:/

Pros: This totally works, charges fairly quickly, and I don't have to screw around with cables and mess up my phone's power port!It fits super well with a typical phone case. Soon, I will get to see how it fits on a Lifeproof, and will update on that.Cons: The ribbon is understandably fragile, but on the 6+ it needs to be shorter so I can position the inductor lower on the phone, to line it up with the more rigid (smaller induction field) charger mounts.[Edit 5-12-2015]It only lasted a couple of weeks on my 6 Plus. The ribbon from the port was too loose and brittle to last. Had to drop it to a 3 because this is even a shorter lived solution than I predicted.

My experience with this product is that it is uncomfortable to use, heats up quick and doesnt charge as much compared to a charger. just bought a charger just for sake of trouble.

The item itself works fine, but the bamboo charger I also bought from Fonesalesman at the Ideal Home Show at Christmas doesn't! I was assured it would work through a leather flip case and I specifically asked before I bought it, and it doesn't. I wasn't told that it might work but it might not, depending on the thickness of the case and as this was the first time I had seen these I hadn't done any research beforehand, obviously my fault. But it was definitely their fault in not being clear about their product. I have tried on numerous occasions to email them but they just say they've received the message and will get back to you, which they don't. So beware, if the product works OK you'll be fine, but if you have a problem they just don't want to know. Terrible customer service.

works well but a bit slower charge receipt

I bought two - one for myself and one for my dad, both for use with iPhone 6. Both worked acceptably for a while, but stopped working entirely within days. I think the bend is too tight for the thin cable to get around the thin iPhone 6 without breaking. Note that I wasn't taking it in and out repeatedly - I pretty much left it in from day 1. My wife also has one of these on her iPhone 5 and it has worked well for her for several months, so I think it's probably OK for the 5. However, as the product is advertised as being suitable for the 6, I can't give it more than 1 star.I replaced mine with the KEEDOX version, which is much cheaper and has been working since I got it (a couple of weeks), so just based on my experience so far, the KEEDOX one may be better suited to the iPhone 6.

This is the worst Wireless Charging card I have ever bought!It's expensive and only lasted me a few weeks before the connector started tearing.I did get a refund which was good but I do not recommend this.I got one for £1 from China and It lasts longer than this one, and It's bigger which means it's easier to place on a Wireless Charging Pad!
