If you own a Nokia Lumia 925, or are thinking about getting one soon, one piece of gear that is a must have is the CC-3065 Wireless Charging Cover from Nokia. While wireless charging was built in to the Lumia 920, the Lumia 925’s thinner design didn’t lend itself to the thicker electronics that the Qi charging system required quite as easily. Nokia’s answer for this was the CC-3065. Just like the Lumia 810, a simple cover contains all the parts needed to allow your Lumia 925 to charge off the DT-900 charging plates, the JBL Power-Up speakers or just about any other Qi enabled charger on the planet.
The case is easy enough to place on the device. by just placing the the 925 in bottom first, then snapping the top into the two ‘tabs’ located at the edges of the cover. While this doesn’t offer a huge amount of protection, it does lift the camera lens off the surface and will eliminate the risk of scratching the back of your 925.
The Qi interface is located at the bottom of the cover. The simple three prong connector attaches to the charging contacts on the back of the 925. The Qi pad then covers most of the inside of the cover itself, making device placement a minimal concern when placing it on an item like the DT-900 charging plate.
If there is a weak piece in the design of the CC-3065, it would be the small attachment area of the cover. What holds the cover to the phone is simply a pressure fit corner. If one of those corners becomes weakened in any way, the cover will not attach to your 925 much longer. I’ve been trolling the forums on some of the major Windows Phone sites and haven’t seen more than a handful of reports of these failing, and most of those were due to people swapping them out regularly.
The CC-3065 is available in your choice of 4 colors: Black, White, Red and Yellow. They retail for around $30 and can be found week to week for less at sites like our partner site from www.4gfastdata.com. You can see the price varies at times, but you run the risk of losing your first choice of color if you wait too long.
