So,

I just got this for my Nexus 5:



PowerBot® PB1020 Qi Enabled Wireless Charger Inductive Charging Pad Station for All Qi Standard Compatible Devices Including Samsung, iPhone, Nokia, Google, Nexus, LG, HTC and Other Smartphones with Receivers (AC Adapter Excluded. 2 x Micro USB Cable Included), Black

Price: $19.99

And I love it already. I am constantly getting up and down from the desk, and some days can be so hectic, I forget or don't get a real chance to plug the phone in. Or I might plug it in, then get a call and end up yanking the USB cable around - am really gunshy about messing up the charge plug after having so many get finicky for no reason.

This disc sits on my desk, and set the phone on top, it beeps to let me know it's charging, no cables or tangles when I have to get up to check inventory or how production is going.

And it was only $20 at Amazon! The official one was $50, but this one had solid write ups in CNet and android forums.
