Does a Wireless Charger Work Through a Phone Case?
Short answer: Yes, for most cases under about 3-5mm thick, including all standard cases sold at AvaNext. Extremely thick or metal-backed cases can block or weaken wireless charging — metal specifically can interfere with the magnetic/inductive charging field entirely.
What Affects Wireless Charging Through a Case
- Case thickness: Most silicone, leather, and hardshell cases (under 3-5mm) don't meaningfully block charging
- Case material: Metal or metal-backed cases can block or distort the charging field — avoid these for wireless charging
- MagSafe alignment: MagSafe cases are specifically designed with magnets that keep charging aligned even through the case
- Card holders/wallets attached to the case: Cards with magnetic strips can be affected by strong wireless charging fields — remove them before charging
Do AvaNext's Cases Support Wireless Charging?
Yes — the Apple Leather Case with MagSafe, Apple Beats MagSafe Case, and Pitaka Aramid UltraGuard Case are all MagSafe compatible, designed specifically to not interfere with wireless charging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove my case to wireless charge? No, for standard cases under about 5mm thick, wireless charging works fine without removing the case.
Can a thick case slow down wireless charging? Yes, very thick cases can weaken the charging connection and slow speed, even if charging still works.
Should I remove cards from a wallet case before wireless charging? Yes, remove cards with magnetic strips to avoid potential damage from the charging field.
