Help Qi Charging pad for Turbo in the car

Does anyone have a suggestion for a pad I can use when charging the Turbo in the car? To do this most easily, I want a pad that is the same size or only slightly larger than the Turbo (5.7 x 2.9" or 144 x 74mm) so I can make a cubby for them both. This means that the phone will sit exactly over the pad and cubby walls around both will keep the phone from sliding around on the pad.

Here's where motorola says the phone's charging coil is located:

Seems to me that besides picking a pad that's basically the same size as the phone, I gotta get one that has the coil in the same place, and don't really need a 3-coil pad.
 
I would stay away from Qi for now, as many people are having issues with battery charging after using Qi.

However, that said, I have an AirDock, and it's ok - AirDock says that it works well with the Turbo. The AirDock has a tacky surface and magnets to hold the phone.

If it were me, I think I'd buy the iOttie: http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Wireless-Standard-Motorola-Smartphones/dp/B00IRHQZTI

Though I've never tried that one, I like iOttie products.
