I looked up wireless chargers but they charge a lot slower than regular ones :/
I get about 30% / hr on my nexus 5. It all depends on the output of your specific charger.

You can get those at most guitar stores and on Amazon. They're used to eliminate the RF interference that can give you a bad hum on your electric guitar. They're also good with circuitry, as long as the copper plating doesn't touch anything electrical (you can separate the charger from the copper with a sheet of thin plastic.)

Anyway, just a thought. Once again OP, a clever solution.
Thanks. No issues with HVAC interference. The charger actually has a ferrite backplate that suppresses EMF interference. Its part of the Qi standard.

Not sure where you're getting your info from... Unless you have an iPhone. Lol in that case the wireless addons are pretty terrible. But that's apples fault. Theyre running out of features to add so they're rationing them out yearly. The iPhone will probably get wireless charging in a year or two (android has had it for the past couple years). Apple will probably ignore the Qi standard also and force you to buy a $100 charging pad instead of a 3rd party one for $15.
