Cases with built in contactless charging?

I like the idea of having a PC case with a contactless charging zone on the top for your phone.

Is this a thing?

It is a thing... BeQuiet Dark Base Pro 900

Excellent, and OCUK even stock them.

Looks like I'm finally replacing my Antec Sonata II case

I'd want to make sure that's not a bog standard 5 watt charger before I dropped 200 notes on the case.

I couldn't answer that, but perhaps the official site will tell you, or a review.

The bequiet is the only case I am aware of that has one built in. More likely than not it'll be a 5W charger though

It 100% is 5w. I have this case myself.

Are phones still being built with wireless charging cause i'm looking for a new phone and none of them say they have wireless charging.

Also that case is worth double it's weight in gold or something even more valuable.

Samsung S7 does I know (S8 will too no doubt), not sure about other Android phones. Rumour is that Apple will be doing so on the next iPhone, but not sure how concrete that is. Surprised they haven't done so already TBH, it's very useful.

Pretty much all of Samsung's flagships in recent times including my S7 Edge support wireless charging, so the S8 should be a safe bet.

Unfortunately the Oneplus 3 that I've been suggesting to lots of people doesn't support wireless charging, which is a bit of a bummer but it still seems like a great phone
