The Best Phone Case for Wireless Charging Compatibility

In the modern world, we rely on our smartphones for everything from communicating with friends and colleagues to finding the fastest route to our destinations. Along with the thousands of other features provided, these functions make it necessary for our devices to be available 24/7 – and what better way to ensure that we have round-the-clock, full-powered access than with a wireless charger?

Wireless devices not only make charging more convenient by ensuring that your phone gains power at an optimal speed, but safer too. This is because they minimise the risk of overheating, along with eliminating the tripping hazard of tangled wires at work, home, or when you're out and about.

To extend the lifespan and performance of your device, while ensuring that it remains fully protected, investing in a phone case that's wireless charging compatible is therefore a necessity. Keep reading our guide to discover exactly why you need a wireless charging phone case, along with our top choices for seamless integration with your Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or Google Pixel.

Benefits of Wireless Charging Compatible Phone Cases

From wireless charging pads to 3-in-1 charging stations, there are plenty of ways that you can power up your phone without needing to remove the case. Here are four key advantages you'll gain from choosing phone cases that are compatible with any of these devices:

1. Faster Charging Speeds

Many wireless charging phone cases support speeds of up to 15W, compared to the standard 7.5W of power provided by traditional charging methods. Plus, most cases that are wireless charging compatible properly align with charging pads for maximum efficiency, therefore minimising the risk of interruptions.

For example, those with Apple's patented MagSafe technology contain strong magnets that ensure zero-effort charging when used alongside MagSafe charging devices or battery packs.

2. Enhanced Safety

Not only does untangling charging cables waste valuable time, but leaving loose wires lying around your home or office can create a significant tripping hazard.

Plus, using an incompatible case can obstruct power flow from the charger to your phone, which increases the risk of overheating. If left unaddressed for long periods, this can damage the internal components of your phone – or worse – start a fire.

3. Effortless Convenience

Although many modern phone cases feature precise cut outs, finding the charging port when you're on the move or in the dark is often incredibly difficult. Wireless chargers eliminate this struggle, and you don't even need to remove your phone case to ensure seamless charging!

Grabbing a wireless charging phone case and compatible charging accessories is easier than searching for cables if you're rushing out the door. There's also a much lower chance of cords becoming tangled in your bag or purse.

4. Improved Durability

As a bonus, many wireless charging phone cases feature a variety of features designed to enhance the durability of your device and prevent it from sustaining scratches or cracks while powering up. Some key functions to look out for when choosing a shockproof wireless charging phone case include:

• High-quality materials like polycarbonate and TPU
• Military-grade testing for drop protection
• Elevated camera and screen protection bumpers
• Shock-absorbing technology
• Waterproof IP (Ingress Protection) ratings
