So I want to use wireless charging with my new Iphone X and have already picked up an inexpensive Anker charger. I've got my phone in a case that is compatible with wireless charging. However, I noticed last night that charging was very, very slow. I mean, it took the better part of 6 hours to fully charge (I woke up in the middle of the night and checked the phone).

However, I'm actually thinking that the reason is the positioning of a small magnet between the phone and the case so I can stick the phone to my car mount. Has anybody identified the best place to place the magnet? Did you cut the magnet into more of a crescent shape in order to make wireless charging more effective?

Thanks
