They are a dime a dozen on Amazon, OK, maybe not quite a dime, but you can pick up wireless charging pads for $15 or $20. I probably would advise to make sure it specifically mentions fast charging for the iPhone and that it is "Made for iPhone" labelled, this may up the price a bit, but you won't go wrong with anything from Belkin or Mophie and such brands. What you get is basically a round disk about th esize of a coaster for a glass, 3-4 inches in diameter, put it where you want it, plug it in and then just lay your iPhone on top and it will charge.

LOL, nothing new there. Wi-Fi charging pad? How does *that* work?
