P8P Peak Design Case not working with wireless charging stand - Infosec.Pub - eviltoast
Have been using a P7P and PD case for quite a while now, we moved over to the PD ecosystem because we have both Android and Apple phones in the house and I wanted a way we could all just put our phones into a car mount and charge without having multiple wires. I have an amazon dual charge wireless stand that is ‘Made for Google’ whatever that means. I use it to charge my P7P w/PD Every Day case, and my Pixel Buds. I received my P8P PD Everyday case Monday, and yesterday I wanted to put it on the stand to charge it up a bit. Set it on there and after a bit noticed a red flashing light. It was NOT charging the phone. Tried placing it again, same issue. As it turn out, the P8P case must have changed enough to cause some issues. P7P + PD Case works fine P8P Naked works fine P8P + $13 amazon magsafe TPU case works fine P8P + PD case does not work. I sent them an email yesterday with details, but buyer beware. *Edit: One other thing about the PD case, is the camera bump protection (lip that is taller than the camera) seems like it’s smaller. The P7P lip isn’t huge, but the amazon TPU case covered a large part of the bump completely which would create a lot more protection. * Stand: [https://infosec.pub/pictrs/image/d2506573-11e4-4842-a70a-668f95978ea8.png] Amazon case that works with stand.

cross posting my own post here. Just realized there’s two googlepixel communities. Just an FYI. Peak Design did acknowledge my email them, but no updates from them.

    Thanks that’s good to know! It sucks but they protect themselves with the “Note that compatibility with all 3rd party chargers (even Qi certified chargers) is not guaranteed” fine-print. However depending on where you live you should still be able to return it I think.

      The charger I’ve owned for a little while, and it’s probably long past the return period.

      The case I’ll keep since I have 3 PD chargers in our cars and one with the clip mount on my motorcycle that I use quite a bit.

      I played Around with trying different positions tonight and that charger does not like the PD case :( the phone will charge on the buds pad laying flat with the PD case on.

      It also charges with my wife’s magsafe charger. So overall it seems to just be the on wireless charger, unfortunately it’s one I used semi often.
