Charging I -Phone SE
My new I -Phone SE is kept in a folding wallet-type leather case. If I want to use a charging pad, do I have to remove the phone from the case or will it still charge if placed on the pad in the case?

It may or may not. See the following from How to wirelessly charge your iPhone - Apple Support
If your iPhone isn't charging or is charging slowly and your iPhone has a thick case, metal case, or battery case, try removing the case.
Also, since it is a "wallet-type" case -- does it hold credit cards? If so, see the following from the same link:
Wireless charging uses magnetic induction to charge your iPhone. Don't place anything between your iPhone and the charger. Magnetic mounts, magnetic cases, or other objects between your iPhone and the charger might reduce performance or damage magnetic strips or RFID chips like those found in some credit cards, security badges, passports, and key fobs. If your case holds any of these sensitive items, remove them before charging or make sure that they aren’t between the back of your iPhone and the charger.
