P8P Peak Design Case not working with wireless charging stand (infosec.pub)

Have been using a P7P and PD case for quite a while now, we moved over to the PD ecosystem because we have both Android and Apple phones in the house and I wanted a way we could all just put our phones into a car mount and charge without having multiple wires.

I have an amazon dual charge wireless stand that is 'Made for Google' whatever that means. I use it to charge my P7P w/PD Every Day case, and my Pixel Buds.

I received my P8P PD Everyday case Monday, and yesterday I wanted to put it on the stand to charge it up a bit. Set it on there and after a bit noticed a red flashing light. It was NOT charging the phone. Tried placing it again, same issue.

As it turn out, the P8P case must have changed enough to cause some issues.

P7P + PD Case works fine P8P Naked works fine P8P + $13 amazon magsafe TPU case works fine P8P + PD case does not work.

I sent them an email yesterday with details, but buyer beware.

*Edit: One other thing about the PD case, is the camera bump protection (lip that is taller than the camera) seems like it's smaller. The P7P lip isn't huge, but the amazon TPU case covered a large part of the bump completely which would create a lot more protection. *

Stand:

Amazon case that works with stand.

Thank you for sharing.

Do you have any other wireless chargers to test with PD case? Do you have wireless charger from PD?

I'm waiting for availability in my country to order one. I'm with PD for quite some time already.

Works on my wife's magsafe charger, and the PD chargers just fine (I have not tested on all three we own but it works on the one I've used). But it is weird that previous versions of this case worked on my Google friendly charger. The fact that another magsafe P8P case also works on that charger I listed just makes me wonder what they did different and wanted to share.
