My Quest for Wireless Charging with an Otterbox Ended with Companies Called Youshares and Saneo

My recent migration to a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge had me all excited about the prospects of wireless charging.  Right after selecting an Otterbox Defender as my day to day case, my excitement abated slightly as I remembered how thick this case was.  Thankfully I found two products that worked.  The first is called Seneo and the second was Youshares.
