JIMMYCASE iPhone Wallet Cases Work with Wireless Chargers
Can you use an iPhone wallet case with a wireless charger?
Yes, you can use an iPhone wallet case with a wireless charger.
We have tested JIMMYCASE iPhone wallet cases with a variety of wireless chargers and they work well. As the credit cards add extra material between the back of the iPhone and the charger, there are some adjustments to make.
- The case works well for wireless charging with up to three (3) cards in the elastic wallet pocket.
- Metal cards or cards with a metallic layer block the charging signal and may make it unusable.
Will wireless phone chargers damage credit cards?
We've been using wireless chargers with JIMMYCASE wallet cases for years and have had no problem with our credit cards. However, phone hardware manufacturers do recommend you keep magnetic stripe cards away from wireless chargers.
Samsung Website: "please ensure that any magnetic cards have been removed from the case to avoid any damage to your magnetic cards."
How does wireless charging work?
Wireless chargers use electromagnetic induction to transfer energy from the charger to a special receiver on the back of your iPhone. Power is fed into an induction coil in the charger, creating a magnetic field. A receiving induction coil in the iPhone takes the magnetic field and converts it into power the phone (Wikipedia Inductive Charging).
