As a nexus 4 owner (and previous pre/touchpad owner with their respective inductive chargers) this is a ridiculous price for an ugly design (fatboy is the only one with some design sense out there) and I'm firmly in the "inductive charging is a novelty" camp. When you can pick these up for $15 bucks, they are standardized and you don't have to worry about which direction the device is facing...they might have something.

Anyone having trouble charging the device after the orb has been plugged in for a few hours?
My orb has been plugged in for about 24 hours now and at first it was great, but about an hour ago I tried to charge my Nexus 4 and it wouldn't charge. I wiped it, unplugged it from the wall, nothing. I had to unplug and re-plug the usb from the orb itself to get it to work (which defeats the purpose of having the orb, I want to just put my Nexus on the orb and not worry about plugging and unplugging. I know First world problems lol) Not sure if I got a faulty one. If anyone else is experiencing this please comment! |

If this is what you have.. http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Bord...B00AG0D52O ...then it should work fine. I only see issues if you have an otterbox or something on it. It seems they thought out the design of this a bit more than the Touchstone as it seems more resilient to stay on in various spots (the Touchstone for example would connect/disconnect every second while charging if it wasn't on the EXACT spot), in both portrait and landscape. |

The Fatboy is just the Standard Nokia DT-900 charging alate with a shitty cloth covered over it. They didn't think about the design at all. You are literally paying a premium for a plastic/sheath cloth to go over it. Costs them maybe all of 50 cents to make it maybe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?fea...3ck#t=202s I agree this is a ridiculous mark-up on a Qi charger, but it definitely works well with the Nexus 4 and is definitely not ugly by any means. |

I didn't say I was buying the nokia qi charger either so why would I care about the extra cost? I was simply commenting on the design. |
