Tylt Vu Wireless Charging Stand

I wanted to share an interesting observation I made this evening. I have the S6 Edge with the Tylt Vu stand, and it works a heck of a lot better if I put the phone down into it in landscape.
Portrait has a REAL hard time getting a connection. Of course, if I take the case off, it doesn't matter. For now, I don't mind because I can see the night clock better.
UPDATE: Portrait will not work regardless of case vs none. If you are able to get it to get a connection, it cannot maintain it. As stated in post #7, I believe there is an alignment issue with the coils and the phone. I will be emailing Tylt to see what they have to say.

No pics = fail

I was gonna buy a Tylt, but the price was ridiculous, so I ordered one of these, shold be here tomorrow...less than 1/2 the price!

Maybe less than half in price, but less than half the charging voltage 5v versus 12v of the Tylt

they both put out 1 amp while charging, so there wont be much, if any difference in how long it takes them to charge a phone, especially if they are sitting on the charging stand for awhile, But hey, if it makes you feel better about overpaying by more than double, that's ok..

I'm not sure why pics are needed? To update, I realized that case, or no case, it's not going to work in portrait orientation. It does get a connection but cannot maintain it. I've updated my OP to reflect that.
Also, there is now at least one review of similar products on Amazon having the same issue. Some of the vendors are even updating their item descriptions saying not to use with the S6/Edge

While that is true, if you're just using it as a charger overnight then it shouldn't be much of an issue. The 3 coil could benefit there as well, as my suspicion is an alignment issue with the S6 and the Tylt, and other products based on its design.

Let me know how well it works, with and without a case if possible.

I have 2 tylt Vu wireless chargers and my 6 edge works fine in portrait with both. Maybe it's just your unit ??? Btw i also have the neo hybrid case on while wireless charging .

I can definitely agree with OP. I have two tylt vu chargers, tried it with both case and no case on the edge, and the chargers both exhibit weird behaviors when the phone is in portrait. The behaviors include:
Charger showing green light but phone does not show charging
S6 edge continuously disconnect and reconnects back to the wireless charging
No light and not charging on the S6 edge
I think the position of the wireless charging receiver on the edge must be in between the top and middle coils and is not getting a solid connection. It would also explain why having it landscape will give you a proper connection if it is able to solidly make a connection with bottom coil.
UPDATE: I did some testing with the charger I have at home and it seems that the case might be the real culprit. I cannot seem to replicate the weird behaviors when there is no case on the phone; it chargers just fine. I did take a video that shows the odd behavior when the S6 edge has a neo-hybrid case on, this one. youtube link

I have two Tylt chargers and my S6 Edge works great in portrait. I was lucky and got two Tylt chargers on clearance $30 each from T-Mobile a year ago. Have no issues charging with my clear plastic T-Mobile case. It's very thin though.
My Note 4 had issues wireless charging at times I would have to take it off then set it back down. I had the Samsung Qi back cover.

I have this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV63WVE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Probably not the absolute thinnest case but it can't be too far off. If the charger cannot work properly even with a case as thin as this, then that, to me, is an issue. The fact that the "knockoff" versions of this product are starting to see reviews with similar issues should be considered. What I don't know is if the reviewer tested like you did...
Review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R30U94...etail-glance&nodeID=2335752011&store=wireless

Another vote for having two Tylt Vu's (apparently I'm not the only one who can't have just one!), and they both work fine without a case.... that being said, I ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid CC in gunmetal as my first case I've ever had on any Galaxy device, EVER - this phone is just too damn expensive and thin not to have one this time - and I'll let you know in two days if it still works with that case on it!

S6e + Tylt + Spigen Neo Hybrid = No Bueno
I concur with OP. 5 tylt chargers around the house and my S6e with Spigen Neo Hybrid exhibits inconsistent wireless charging on portrait but no problem in landscape mode. Naked S6e charges with no problems in portrait.

This is my case that I have no issues wirless charging on my Tylt in portrait. The case is made by Samsung and I bought it at T-Mobile at cost $20 instead of $35. Limited protection but does cover the corners. S6 Edge is to damn sexy to hide in a case. I know it's better safe then sorry. Also if you register your phone at Samaung you can get 30% off and buy it from them.

That pretty unfortunate.
I happened to order this wireless charger/stand http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S7IBDGW/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_y-5jvb18R9X7M and charging in Portrait with a case/without a case works perfectly.

That's interesting because that's the same unit that the one review I saw they had problems. Also, I don't know how new this is or when you bought it, but it says in the item description that this is not for the S6 or S6 Edge, and that there will be a new version that is compatible.
The reviewer doesn't say whether it's the S6 or S6 Edge, however I am seeing on other branded products, the item descriptions are being updated with a warning not to buy for the S6.
I can't make heads or tails of it. I have other receivers that work just fine. Those include a Choetech Stadium, MobilePal battery pack with Qi charging, a Koolpad, and iOttie EasyFlex Wireless Charging Car Dock...

As an update to my comment about my S6E working just fine in the Tylt Vu, it still does, but damn that thing took over 6 hours to charge last night and when I picked it up this morning, it was MUCH hotter than my S5 ever was on the Tylt Vu with wireless charging cover..... I'll have to look how long it took my S5 to charge over night, I got my S6E down to around 15% and charged it from there - and then this morning when I was waking up, it made a charging connection sound, so I went to look at it to see if it had the same issues a few of you had, expecting to get up and see it half-dead, and it was at 100%.... so it was charging all night, no disconnections, just took a loooooooong time and made a looooooot of heat, which can't be good for it!

Interesting I didn't even see that in the description before i bought it. But i can confirm this version works just fine with my Edge . And for the time being I am using the Spigen Air Cushion hybrid case and it still charges. It is a Qi enabled charger, I don't see why it would not be for a Qi device such as S6/Edge.

The issue is alignment between the coil(s) and the receiver. Are you carefully about how you put your phone onto it.or do you just kind.of drop it in there without giving it any thought?

cheap wireless charging stand that works!!

Just got this bad boy, and tested it out with cases and without..
without cases, works perfectly, portrait and Landscape;
with the spigen clear hybrid case on, works perfectly in portrait and landscape
with 3 different Verus cases on, it sometimes will work, depending on how you place it, in portrait, but worked perfectly in landscape!!!
Save a ton of $$$, and get it here..

that one looks nice too; I just wanted one that I could use as a stand, and see the display on my desk..

The LG G3 wireless charging stand works fine but had to place the S6E upside down to align the wireless charger
Edit - thought it was working but didn't. Will investigate further

Do you notice any heating issues? I bought one of those ebay wireless chargers for my Nexus 5 and I stopped using after noticing that the phone would heat up every time I charged it using the wireless charger.

nope, it gets slightly warm, which happens with all wireless chargers, and this is a metal/glass phone, but no "issues"

Does anyone know if the Nokia lumia stand works with the edge with a case? I have a spare one in the draw but unfortunately, no phone yet.

I've heard this A6 is good and half the price of a Tylt chargers. I was lucky I got two Tylt chargers on clearance a year ago. I wish I bought 3.

yep, my ebay 20 dollar cheapo works great with cases or without..
the only "weird" thing, is when there is a thicker case on, you have to first place it in landscape mode, then about 5 second later, you see it say "charging wirelessly"; then, if you want, you can turn it back to portrait and it will charge normally..
either way, it works great, so I was glad to save a lot of $$$, and have a desk stand wireless charger!

Yes,it's support fine on charging, great indeed! Also a little sorry for the overheat...

Wireless charging, yup it helped me in a number of ways, above all the availability of charging facility is now available everywhere that makes me very comfortable to keep my phone, ipad and other items alive all the time.

I had a few of the CHOE Qi Wireless chargers from when I bought them for my Note 3. Instead of buying new accessories on top of an already expensive ass purchase with the phone. I decided to 3D print my own charging stand (I have 10 3D printers at work ). This is my first prototype. Still exploring different ways to tweak the stand so it'll work in both portrait and landscape. Currently it only charges in landscape mode.

simple answer , no.
It does but you have to put it sideway and wedge something under it. so not worth the hassle

is there any heating issues

[Review]CHOETECH Iron Stand Qi Wireless Charger

So a few nights ago, I got a message from someone with CHOETECH. They'd seen that I had posted here about my Stadium Qi charger and asked if I'd be willing to try out the new Iron Stand charger. Of course I said yes - their timing couldn't have been better as I was planning on buying a stand charger soon. I only had the one and was getting tired of bringing it back and forth between work and home (not that it was a pain, but if I'd forget it I'd be grumpy ).
Packaging
The packaging was quite nice. I don't recall what the Stadium packaging was like, but a lot of stuff from China doesn't even come in a box. Quality packaging left an immediate positive initial impression.
Contents
The box contained the Iron Stand charger, a 5V 2A power adapter, USB cable, a "User Manual", and a card with instructions what to do if you were either happy (post a review, recommend, etc) or unhappy (contact their customer service) with the product.
Build Quality
First impressions - this thing is really nice. My wife, very non-tech type, even comment on how nice it looks. The stand is made of what appears to be some sort of aluminium alloy. The charging plate is in the middle and very polished (it's quite reflective). On one side is the power port and 4 blue indicator LEDs. The LED on the Stadium is very bright, but it's more subtle here on the Iron Stand. On the bottom of the stand is soft rubber that gives it a really good grip so that it doesn't slide around. Also, the USB cable that it comes with seems to be pretty high quality, on par with the Anker cables I've got. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this charger.
Capability
Using my S6 Edge with a Ringke Fusion cover, positioning the device so that it gets a charge is very simple - it picks it up right away, vertical or horizontal. However, I found that it seems to get a faster charge when horizontal. When horizontal I get a charge on par with the Stadium charger, but it's a tad slower when vertical. Must just be something with the placement of the coils not being quite right for the S6. Aside from that, it does work well. I've had no issues with it overheating. Every once in a while the screen will kick on when fully charged, but I think this is probably a result of something draining my battery just enough to get it below 100%. Seems about the same as the Stadium on that front.
TL;DR - The Iron Stand is a really good choice for a stand Qi charger. Build quality is great, charging is on par with what you should expect from a Qi charger.

I wonder that just before reading this post, I watched a video of the same wireless charger charging the Note 5! But i don;t think the Smartphone he used in that video is Note 5! Any idea if it is compatible with Note 5 or not? Meanwhile, here is that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCMObdATmI0

The charger is nicely built for strong usage. Choetech built it with good quality materials. Iron stand used as charging pad is of great quality and full functional to place the mobile devices either in portrait or landscape mode. The good thing about that stand is you can watch videos while the phone is in charging. No more clumsy wire that connects your mobile and charger. LED lighting shows the status of your wireless charging. Thanks for great post.

I hadn't seen that video. You are right though, that's not the Note 5 - my guess is that it is the S6 Edge+. With my regular S6 Edge, there's still a bit of room on either side of the stand (3 or 4 mm). I looked at the Note 5 just the other day at a Sprint store and it isn't that much bigger than an S6, so my guess is that it will be physically fine on this charger. However, this is a normal Qi charger putting out a max of just 1A of 5V current. The Note 5 and S6 Edge+ have some sort of enhanced Qi capabilities that Samsung is touting as Wireless Fast Charging that requires one of the fast charging adapters. This charger doesn't support that.

I received a sample of this charger as well, and wanted to comment on it.
I had previously been using a Itian wireless charger and was very happy with how it worked on both my S6 Edge, and my Nexus 6.
The CHOETECH iron stand came in a nice package, and the coils on the stand were protected in shipping bu clear film.
Once out of the package, I noticed that the vertical stand angle was better than my Itian model, allowing my phones to stand up even more vertically, which is something I like. With my phones turned on its side, the Itian worked just fine on both my S6 Edge and my Nexus, but CHOETECH was a little picky about how i positioned my Nexus when turned sideways; eventually, I found a good spot for it, and it worked just fine on both phones.
The only that I didnt like when comparing the 2 brands, was that the CHOETECH charger charges slower than the Itian does, but eventually it does charge both of my phones 100%.
Either charger would make a nice addition to your charging inventory, and I will say the CHOETECH charger is a bit more attractive, if you prefer an "industrial" look.
Either way, both of these units work well, so the choice is yours!

CHOETECH claims to use premium quality components in the manufacturing of Standing Wireless Charger and the products. CHOETECH is certified with FCC, CE and ROHS. They also offers 18 months warranty on qi charger against all manufacturing defects with easy to reach customer services. I have read many positive reviews about CHOETECH Iron Stand Qi Wireless Charger. I am happy with its performance.

It looks a nice charging stand to charge my phone while I am enjoying a video. Hey OP, the iron construction both looks premium and feels solid, but is it heat-resistant? How do you feel like it?

Thank you for your good expectation

cases compatible with wireless charging

I am looking for cases that will work with wireless charging. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Most case on the market will support wireless charging, the typical distance for Qi wireless standard is 5mm. Therefore just make sure that your case is not too thick.

little late to the party, but I love this case:

Anything that isn't a brick and doesn't have a magnet in the back over the charging coil will work fine.

I've got the otterbox defender and that works fine with the latest Samsung wireless fast charger. Not sure how it goes with any other chargers and I don't think there's any cases that are thicker. Possibly the aluminium backed cases wouldn't work.

Wireless Charger

Some time ago I purchased this for my G4 as well as this. It works just fine but when I put my case on it does not charge. The LED on the charger blinks like its misaligned or just out of range to charge. My case is a Ballistic brand case with the rubber then an external hard shell so its thicker than your average case. I also have a Verizon G2 that has wireless charging capability and with a thinner Diztronic case and it charges no problem.
So now I have a G4 with the power patch installed but cant use. Are there any other wireless charges that might be stronger? I don't want to have to buy a bunch of them to test. I've seen Samsung has a pretty large wireless charger available but I wonder if that would get through the case.
Anyone else out there with any charger that works through their case? By the way I use the QI wireless charging standard.

Hey Rusty, I use the other version of the Yootech charger (the triangle one) with a Spigen Slim Armor case and it works fine through the case. Of course it is a thinner case, so probably not much help to you.

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried a higher amperage power block? I use a Motorola Turbo block with these similar items and it works fine. (I can't post external links yet, so edit and make it work for your use to amazon dot com.)
Sticker: /gp/product/B010GQ2JRE
Charger: /gp/product/B00F6SPYJS
Case: /gp/product/B00UN6Y1Z6
I got the Turbo block on Groupon for about $10 back in June. Unfortunately that's no longer available.
I've also used a Samsung 2A charger from a tablet. That also worked fine.
