Anyone using wireless charging w Rezound?

[Doit2it]

I was thinking about buying the wireless charging cover and pad for my sister's birthday. I've read a couple of good reviews but wanted to get your opinions.

Couple of things I want to know:

I've read it charges faster than via plug. True?
Does the back add a noticeable amount of bulk when holding?
Are you using another induction pad (which one?) or the Verizon pad?


Thanks for any input!

I'm using Verizon's inductive back and charging pad. I can't say that it charges faster.. but it's every bit as fast. The back is noticeably thicker than the oem. It does not add as much as the extended battery back but it adds girth to the phone. I do not find the added thickness offensive but it's definitely there to feel. If I had a complaint about the back, it's flat across the back vs the slight curvature of the oem. This doesn't make it feel bad but muffles the notifications when it's sitting on a flat surface such as my desk. I sit my Rez across a pencil or pen just so the notifications can be easily heard. I was also concerned about the lack of visible antenna copper inside the inductive back but haven't noticed any drop in signal. I received my charging system for Christmas and have enjoyed the ease of sitting the phone on the pad for a charge. I will say that I would never have purchased this setup for myself because I think it is an over priced and unnecessary accessory.

I tried it with a power mat charger, and it didn't work. So far, I've only heard of people using the VZW charger.
