An aftermarket modification technique discovered by Tanveer, a part time modder who also happens to be a doctor (like me), adds built-in wireless charging capability to your iPhone 4S (via Ubergizmo). The process requires a wireless charger pad and case, eliminating the need of a case for wirelessly charging an iPhone 4s.

I was all for it, until you said it would add an extra mm to the thickness. That’s not happening. Lol also could this not be done on the iPhone 4? Or 3GS for that matter? Why is the 4S only mentioned?
It is only an extra mm to the internal thickness. That is why you have to modify he back cover to compinsate. The final thickness once complete is still the same
What’s the point? Just use the cable. I do not understand the appeal of “wireless” charging because it is still not really charging at a long distance so what do you really get over a cable? Nothing.
