Best wireless charger

Just picked up my droid turbo today. Saw a bunch of wireless charging options at verizon store and amazon. Wondering if anyone had experience with any, and had one they'd recommend? Thanks in advance.

I have the Nokia DT910 for my current Driod DNA. Not the speediest way to charge but I don't think its supposed to be.

My only concern, which caused my discontinuing use, is that the battery gets real warm. Since my DNA is a fixed body and non-replaceable battery I stopped as heat on a battery isn't really that good.

Other than that it is a prop stand and was awesome to use.

I;ve used the Tylt Vu for almost a year on my Droid Maxx. It is great setting on on the table under my workstation.

The Maxx does get warm if a full charge is needed. I wonder if it is the coil that is mounted between the battery and the Maxx back and not the Maxx battery itself.

It was $100 at Staples. I got it with a $25 off certificate and 50% discount directly from Tylt last Christmas. I paid $25. At $100 it was absurd.

I don't know if you can find them anywhere, but I picked up a Nokia charger from AT&T when they where blowing them out for $5. Does a good job. I have 1 at home and 1 at work. I don't use it much at home because I just plug it in at night. But at work its really nice if I'm running low to just set it on the pad so I can grab it quickly when I get called into meetings and such.

I picked up whatever wireless charger Verizon was selling for the Turbo for $59. I didn't pay that close attention; it looked like (I just assumed) it was made for that model. Basically an L-shaped stand, black with red. It works great.

I also had another wireless charger laying around that i had gotten from eBay. I tried it but it doesn't seem to work.

All wireless charges make the batteries get warm. Just like the plug in chargers do. Isn't going to "hurt" the battery or phone one bit.
Have been using the Nokia DT910 for over a year with my Lumia Icon. Now I use it with my Droid Turbo. Works just fine!

Just got this today. The Keedox Qi Wireless charger is a piece of crap guys. Dose not work with the Turbo and even tried my former DNA nothing. Returning this piece of crap Friday,

Make sure the power supply you are using has an output of at least 1 amp. If you are using a PC USB port (500 mA) or a Samsung charger (.7 Amp) it won't work well, if at all.

I got my Tyltt Vu last year with a 50% discount from Tylt and a $25 certificate. It was $25 total. I use it all the time.

Now ... until Monday ... directly from Tylt at ... http://www.tylt.com/ ... 50% discount on order if you provide code "CYBER2014" at checkout. That seems to be about $35 for the Tylt Vu.

The Tylt Vu is a 1 amp charger BTW.

I found out about the deal last year from a posting here in Android Forums.
