If your wireless charging is slow or inconsistent, the problem might be your case. While wireless charging offers convenience, it is inherently less efficient than wired methods, often generating excess heat. For the best experience, you should avoid cases that are too thick or contain metal in improper locations, as these can block energy transfer or trap heat.

To maximize efficiency, look for induction-friendly designs. Cases like the Spigen Mag Fit or the Speck Presidio 2 are effective because they use thin materials or circular cutouts to allow energy to reach the charging coils easily. For users wanting to use MagSafe or Qi2 accessories, a case with a built-in magnetic ring is essential for precise coil alignment.

Be cautious with phone-back accessories like Pop Sockets, which add bulk that can hamper charging. Always check customer reviews or YouTube videos to ensure a case's compatibility with wireless chargers before purchasing, as product listings may not always reflect real-world performance.
