In case anyone's interested, I bought a Qi wireless charger and receiver for my S3. Total cost was about £15. It works ok and technically the receiver fits under my S3 back cover (it's about the thickness of a credit card and it sticks onto the battery). The back cover snaps shut but you can feel a bit of a bump in the middle so it doesn't quite sit flat. It's weird but I'll probably get used to it.
The actual wireless charging is slower than wired, but works ok for leaving on overnight. I'm not sure if it's worth it but saves wear on the USB socket I s'pose. Thinking of getting a car phone holder thing with Qi charging built in, less cables to worry about.
The charger itself is cheap feeling and very light, tempted to break it open and see what it's like inside. Probably a deadly fire hazard.
