Can You Wirelessly Charge Your iPhone with a Case On? It Depends on the Case.

🔋 The Basics: How Wireless Charging Works

Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to transfer power from the charger to your phone—without cables.

Sounds simple, right?

Here’s the catch:

Anything between your phone and the charger (like your case) can interfere.

👎 When a Case Blocks Charging

If you're using:

• Thick rugged cases (like Otterbox) 

• Cases with metal plates（for magnetic mounts）

• Wallet-style cases with cards or magnets 

• Non-MagSafe plastic cases with weird shapes or bulges 

Then yeah… your charging might slow down—or not work at all.

Wireless charging requires tight alignment.

If the magnetic coils don’t align properly, you get poor charging or no charging.

✅ When a Case Works with Wireless Charging

Here’s the good news:

Most MagSafe-compatible or Qi2-friendly cases work great.

Look for:

• Under 3mm in thickness 

• Made of soft plastic, silicone, or leather 

• Labeled “MagSafe Compatible” 

These cases let the phone snap into the right charging position, every time.

💡 Pro Tip: Use a Smarter Charger

Even with a good case, a bad charger still messes things up.

That’s where the THREEKEY Qi2 Wireless Charger comes in.

• ✅ Qi2 certified (next-gen wireless charging)

• ✅ 15W fast wireless charging

• ✅ Dual-sided magnetic alignment

• ✅ Works through most MagSafe cases

• ✅ Built-in cooling & 5ft cable

🔍 Having Charging Issues? Try This:

• Remove the case and see if it charges.

• Check for magnets or metal inside the case.

• Reposition your phone on the pad.

• Test with a better charger (like THREEKEY).

🧠 The Bottom Line:

Yes, you can charge your iPhone wirelessly with a case—if the case is made for it.

So before you blame the charger, double-check the case.

And if you want 100% peace of mind?

Pair a MagSafe-compatible case with a Qi2-certified charger like THREEKEY.
