How much does this case effect the magnetic hold of the nexus charger? Will the phone stay attached to one with this case on it?

It will detect the magnetic field but it will not hold vertically much less upside down.

The case does not effect the charger in anyway. I got this case and phone at release and the case has been extremely satisfactory. There is plenty of room for the charger.

Thank you for your inquiry!The Slim Armor case has been designed to be compatible with the built in Qi Wireless charging function of the Nexus 5 :)

Yes it will stay attached to the wireless charger even though it's a slightly bulky case.I didn't make a vide but checkout "Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 Qi wireless charging with cases".YouTube!.

No, it's a strong magnet it works great. Now if you have a heavy phone it comes with two magnets for a stronger hold.

After you close the case lid, the Nexus still stays on for a few minutes. It is quite cool actually, as you can see the desktop icons glowing through the poly cover.So it has NO magnet.

The magnet is in the base, not the plates. The plate is the metal for the magnet in the base to attract to. I do not use a plate with my Nexus 5, and I have a case on it, it works with and without the case. The base holds the phone very securely with the metal that exists in the phone. This will of course vary with every phone. If they are needed, the included plates can be adheared to a bare phone or sandwiched between a case and the phone.

No, there are no magnets on any part of the charger. For example, i have the Nexus 5, which has magnets in the back to let you know when you are on the stock charger properly. This charger does not have that. HOWEVER, the area in which the phone is properly aligned is MUCH bigger than the standard charger. I've had this one for ~2months now and have never placed it on the charging pad such that it didn't charge.

I can tell you that it holds my Nexus7 (2013 model) just fine. This fits horizontally in the grip of the mount. The Note 2 may need to be placed vertically in grip of the mount: I do that with my HTC One and it works.

There is no magnet in this device, but it connects and charges just as good if not easier than the official Google charger. If your phone has a case on it like it should the Google nexus charge is extremely difficult to connect to and charge. With this charger I can just lay it down on the whole pad and it has connected every time so far. I would definitely recommend with charge over the Google one.

I did notice it to be a bit difficult, but since I don't remove my charger often it is not problematic. In fact, it allows my charger to not get disconnected because I pulled my phone or device. This was a continuous problem I experienced with other chargers--they just never stayed put.

No. It will not fit with any case on it. Way to snug a fit to work with a case. Plus any additional weight and this thing will tip over. If you use your Nexus naked, it will be fine. If you use a case it will get annoying taking it on and off every time you want to charge it.

No, the magnet will not affect the phone in anyway. It will prevent you from charging wireless if you have a wireless charger like the qi

This does NOT work on the Nexus 5. The magnets are polar opposites. Just discovered that today.

Agreed with first answer, but also the case will lay flat against the back and the magnet won't get in the way of the phone laying flat, either.

Yes seems very secure. I have both the previous and current versions of Nexus 7 and I use it to charge both, purchased it when I bought my first Nexus 7. Previous model does fit into the devise a little bit easier than newest model sometimes have to move newest one around a little to get it seated not a big deal at all but once in works great (just an observation not a complaint), no worries about tipping it over.

I am not sure if it has a magnet or not but my nexus does turn on and off if I close and open the case.

Yes, it will fit on this one. I have two Grid-It organizers, and this is the larger of the two. The Nexus 7 fits in the center and there's space on either side for some cables or a charger if needed. I even manage to put it on with the cover of the Nexus attached. I wouldn't go smaller than this if you want to fit a Nexus 7.

Thanks for your inquire. The magnetic ring will not affect your phone. please feel free to purchase it. thanks.

It should be able to hold a nexus 7 on the short dimension which is 4.5". It expands to a maximum of about 4.25 inches with an additional 1/4 inch of foam on each side. You nexus should squeeze in nice and snug. All the charging ports are a great add on.
