Yes, actually, Google did fail me. The dimensions are not right.

You seriously do sound like the kind of person who needs to try a Popsocket. Screen palm edge issues begone!

How's wireless charging work with one of those?

Not great. The new models (PopGrips) advertise themselves as supporting it, because they're easy to remove with a twist (which defeats the convenience of wireless charging.) I still use it but 1) my popsocket is mounted flush with the bottom of my case, 2) it only works conveniently on a vertical charger[1], as they're narrower than flat pads[2] and 3) the phone has to lie horizontal so the PopSocket hangs off the back.

I did just test it vertically and it seemed to work if the PopSocket itself hung onto the lip of the charger. I think this might affect the charge rate, though, due to the distance from the coils.

Seems like... not at all. My phone doesn't charge if it is a few mm off of the pad
