I have a couple of down-to-Earth questions about Qi wireless charging that bug me. I really do not understand how this works.
These new wireless smartphones, like the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, have a glass back so they can be set on some Qi wireless charging device to get juice without being plugging in with a cable. I get that.
Does that mean that, if you want to wirelessly charge your mobile device, you cannot sheath it with a protective skin or case? Wouldn't a skin or case interfere with the wireless charging?
Another Qi / smartphone question: I've heard it said that when you have the smartphone set down on a Qi charging station, you can't make or receive calls. Why not? Can't you just use the speakerphone and leave the device set on the charger?
