works great with anker charger (a bit less so with samsung charger) - would recommend.
Okay, so I've been on a search for a 'good' wireless charger that is a fast charger. They seem hard to come by.
The issues I have with this one are twofold. 1) positioning the phone is a bit finicky compared to others I've tried - but that is minor. 2) it does not work through my silicon case. Now I know all of these chargers recommend taking the case off and the case needs to be a certain thinness, but this is the first charger (out of 3 different kinds) that won't charge AT ALL with my case on. Even if it would charge at slow rate (ie not fast charge) I could accept that fact, but it won't charge at all with my case.
10/26/16 update: Anker has contacted me. What a great company - they have asked me to send them the charger back and my case (they will reimburse me for the case and send replacement charger) so that they can figure out what's wrong with the combination. No other company would try to resolve an issue like this nor bother to try to figure out the problem. This is how they can improve future products. I've seen other reviews saying it works with their thick cases, so maybe I just got a bad charger? I will update my review/rating with the results of the replacement. Thank you Anker for being a company that truly cares about its customers.
10/31/2016 update: Received replacement from anker along with their anker charger. I also got a different case (Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S7 Case with Flexible Inner Protection and Reinforced Hard Bumper Frame). I don't have my original case to try since I sent it back to anker, but this case actually seems thicker than that one. First of all, let me say with the anker charger and spigen case, I have no issues at all - the phone fast charges (positioning is still a tad finicky, but not a big deal). So I also tried it again with my original samsung charger, and although I was able to get it to charge (fast) with the case on, positioning became even more finicky - maybe the original samsung chargers aren't as strong as the anker one.
So, I have updated this to 5 stars presuming you use anker's charger (if you use samsung charger, then 4 stars)
