Does anyone know if a standard galaxy S20 fits in our wireless charging pad?

Looks like only small iPhones would fit.

My IPhone 11 Max with case fits no problem, not a small IPhone by far!

My S10+ doesn't, I'll check the dimensions though... Hoping a normal s20 will fit.

I have a Note 10+ and it'll just fit with no case on, any case on and you're out of luck.

I have the s20 plus and it'll fit without the case. S20 shouldn't have problem with the case on.

It won't solve fit with the wireless charger but this is a nice addition. You lose a cupholder but if you ride solo a lot shouldn't be a big deal. Zip tie a power cable to it and put the cable slack in the front storage bin and it's a nice setup. Plus, you'll charge more quickly than wireless, too.

My S20+ is laughably too big, even without the case. I'm not sure how you fit yours lol.

It's surprising how small it is. I can jam in my huawei p30pro with case but it's wedged. Not easy to put in Or take out. And it's a slim case.

Luckily I get way more use out of the cell phone holder thing above the cup holders and I can plug it in to charge and use Android auto, so not too big a loss.

I just picked up my new ST and a Samsung Galaxy S10 in an OtterBox case just fits nicely.

Nope... Too long with any case on at all. The same issue with the note 10

Normal s20 fits with a case on

I'm glad I downsized, these gigantic phones were getting to be too much

My iPhone XSMax fits with Otterbox case. But I remember someone mentioning that the iPhone 12 Max would Not fit, that is the reason I haven't gotten one. They could have made the charging pad where it would fix all the latest phones.

The 12 XS Max fits without a case. But, even the Apple leather case makes it slightly too big.

If there was a way to slightly modify the wireless charging frame that would be great.

So, I looked at it more closely yesterday. I was able to force the IPhone 12 Pro Max with the leather apple case down against the charging pad, but, it was very tight.

I think opening up the frame 1/16” should be enough so that it will fit nicely. Or, find a thinner skin/case for the phone. This would be preferred over filing the sides of the charging pad frame down.

Just ordered a “Peel” case that claims it is only .35mm thick. I will post the results in a few weeks when I get it.
