I have been using this simple black $8 TPU case on my iPhone 7 Plus:

Very minimalist, very clean, etc. which I love. I prefer how all the edges/perimeter is covered by the case.

In addition to this, I have been using a $3 knockoff Chinese Qi wireless receiver UNDER the case in this manner:

I love this combination. My sole gripe is that the case very slightly bulges from the wireless receiver and I've always thought that if the wireless receiver was simply embedded into the case that it would be absolutely perfect. If the back of the case was merely recessed out around the area the wireless receiver sits it would allow for no bulge on the back.

That sent me on a search to find such a case. There are hundreds of wireless charge cases out there but they are all either hideously gaudy Otterbox type ones, generally tacky, or aren't a full case in which the whole phone is covered. Rather, they are usually the type of case in which the top and bottom edges are cut out and the phone sort of "sits in" the case rather than it being an actual fully covered case such that I'm using.

What gives? Has anybody found such a case? My preferred style here seems like it should be so widespread that I'm surprised nobody has built such a case. I've searched all over Amazon, eBay, Alibaba and everybody just sells the same crap. I really can't believe that I can't find what I'm looking for.

Anybody have any case ideas similar to what I'm looking for? Links? Pics?
