Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Wireless Charging

I have an Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I can't charge wirelessly. Is there a solution? Don't say to remove the case. That defeats the ease of use.

The Otterbox Defender Pro XT is MagSafe compatible (that’s what I use).


If you purchased the wrong case, return it.

The thing is, I don't like that case. Will the Otterbox charger work?


Defender cases are really thick with the plastic shell and rubber cover. That’s just putting it further away from the pad.


Not sure what might work, but there are a lot of discussions about using thick cases with wireless charging, and it might take experimenting with different charging pads for one that might be able to deal with more distance to the device. And even if it works, it might be less efficient, and wireless charging is already inefficient.
