Google Nexus 5x and 6P

Occasionally, my Nexus 5 is dead in the morning because the phone was not perfectly placed on the wireless charger. Until Google expands the charging area on the phone to eliminate this problem, I don't mind going back to wired charging.

Get a better wireless charger with multiple coils.

I purchased Google's officially sanctioned charger, figuring the Nexus 5 would be optimized for it. Looks like it has been discontinued:

Are there better ones out there that don't have as much of an issue with placement? My blind assumption was the problem lies with the phone's limited charging area, not the charger (which I presumed was nearly the whole surface).

I have the Tylt http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Nexus-Phones/d... but it is far from the only device in that form factor. Strongly recommend.

OK that looks much better designed. Definitely would recommend that over a flat charger, based on my experience.

I have a cheap Qi charger (aren't they all cheap these days?) and this only happened to me once or twice in the two years with the N5.
