Hey all,
I don't have much experience with cases (usually go naked), and the P6 will be the first phone I've owned since the Nexus 5 that has wireless charging.
Is there any issues with cases and wireless charging? Is there anything I need to keep in mind? Also, I think I will be interested in getting the pixel stand. Is there any threat that a case won't be compatible with that?
