As wireless charging technology advances, Qi2 is setting a new industry standard. With major brands like Apple, Samsung, and HMD embracing the Qi ecosystem, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Qi2 adoption across smartphones and accessories. But the biggest innovation isn’t just in phones—it’s in phone cases.
A recent breakthrough in the industry has brought Qi2-certified phone cases to the market, opening up new possibilities for seamless wireless charging. These cases eliminate the need for built-in magnets in smartphones, enabling users to enjoy the benefits of magnetic wireless charging with a wider range of devices.
First Wave of Qi2-Certified Phone Cases
In February 2025, five phone case models officially received Qi2 certification from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). These cases are designed specifically for the Samsung S25 series, highlighting the growing demand for Qi2-ready accessories.

This milestone is a game-changer for the accessory market. With Qi2-certified cases, users no longer need embedded magnets in their smartphones to leverage the benefits of MagSafe-like charging. Instead, phone cases themselves become the key to unlocking the full potential of wireless charging.
What This Means for Product Developers & OEM Brands
For brands looking to develop the next wave of charging accessories, this is a crucial moment. The rise of Qi2 opens new opportunities in the market for innovative, high-performance phone cases and other wireless charging solutions. However, simply finding a factory isn’t enough—managing the supply chain effectively is what differentiates leaders from followers.
At World Sourcing, we specialize in helping brands engineer a strategic supply chain from the ground up. Our expertise spans:
Product Innovation: Designing Qi2-compatible accessories that push market boundaries.
Supply Chain Engineering: Optimizing production and component sourcing to maximize cost efficiency.
Quality Control Systems: Implementing stringent QA checkpoints to ensure flawless execution.
Manufacturing Solutions: Partnering with the right factories—not just the biggest ones—to deliver the best output.
Go-to-Market Strategy: Ensuring a seamless launch with the right certifications and compliance.
Why You Shouldn’t Just Go Direct to the Factory
Many brands make the mistake of going straight to the biggest factory they can find, assuming that’s the best route to success. But the reality is, manufacturing is not just about capacity—it’s about execution. Without a structured supply chain strategy, product consistency, cost control, and quality assurance can become major challenges.
Tech giants like Apple don’t rely solely on their manufacturing partners—they manage them strategically. Their in-house teams oversee every step of the process, ensuring that innovation, efficiency, and quality remain top priorities. This is the difference between brands that scale successfully and those that struggle with delays, quality issues, and lost market opportunities.
