What an odd problem to have – not to be bothered to plug in one’s phone. I didn’t think it was the sort of first-world-folly that I’d fall victim to. But I had rationalized the reasonable use-case of having a designated place to keep my phone at my desk such that I could glance down and see the screen. And, since the Pixel 6P I already had had wireless-charging functionality, I shrugged, then bought this.
The biggest impact this has had is that I now have an established place to look for my phone. My-forgetful-head tends to set things down in the most unlikely of places. Having this has more-than-doubled the likelihood of locating my phone when I first set out to find it.
I’ve never had any issues with its charging capabilities, though I do use a dedicated for-USB-power-supply/regulator to supply it with regulated power. My phone is able to charge vertically and horizontally, and the status-light (which I somehow overlooked as a feature when I purchased this) is intuitive and unobtrusive. The extra USB-power-out located in the rear is a nice bonus, in that I can charge my phone and my watch in the same place, allowing me to (generally) know where both are.
