Nice idea, i was almost excited for a minute there.
If it plugged into something, there would be no reason for wireless charging.
EDIT: Looks like there's a Micro-USB connector, so you should be able to charge by wire, sync with PCs, and connect to cars. You just wouldn't get the full array of Lightning connectivity like support for camera card readers and whatever other stuff Lightning offers now or in the future. But judging BMW on its timeliness of cradle releases relative to phone releases, I'm not optimistic about the sustainability of this option. Maybe the wireless charge pad will work with other cases?
