Why it's on GiftsFeed

Wireless charging dock that plugs straight into the wall

Most bedside and kitchen chargers spread across the counter: a power brick, a cable, maybe a separate stand. This one eliminates the tangle by building the dock into the plug itself. The magnetic pad keeps the phone visible and at an angle, so you can glance at the lock screen or use it hands-free while it charges. The USB-C port means your tablet or earbuds charge from the same spot without hunting for another outlet. It works because it takes up almost no room and requires almost no thought—exactly what a charger in a high-traffic space should do.

Good gift when

  • Anyone tired of nightstand cable clutter
  • People who use their phone docked for recipes or video calls
  • Travelers who want one charger for phone and laptop
  • Those with limited counter or desk space near outlets

Skip it if Your phone lacks MagSafe or Qi2, or you need to charge while the device sits flat on a surface rather than propped upright.

The details

This is a wall-outlet charger shaped like a ledge. Your iPhone snaps onto the front magnetically and charges at 15 watts wirelessly, while a second USB-C port on the side delivers up to 35 watts to anything with a cable. No power brick, no dangling cords—just a compact dock that folds flat when you pull it from the wall.

The magnetic pad holds MagSafe and Qi2 phones in portrait or landscape, so the screen stays visible while the device charges. That makes it practical beside the bed for StandBy mode, in the kitchen for timers and recipes, or on a bathroom counter where a trailing cable would be in the way.

Both charging outputs work simultaneously: the wireless pad supplies 15 watts and the USB-C port delivers 20 watts when used together, or the USB-C port alone can push 35 watts for fast-charging tablets and laptops. The prongs fold down for travel, and the entire unit is roughly the size of a deck of cards when closed.

Two finishes are available—White with a sand-tone accent or Slate with black. The front surface is smooth plastic with a matte finish that resists fingerprints, and the body is sized to fit a standard two-outlet receptacle without blocking the second plug. Compatible with any MagSafe iPhone or Qi2-enabled Android device.

Questions

Will this work with my phone case on?
It works with MagSafe-compatible cases and most thin cases up to a few millimeters thick. If your case is thick or lacks MagSafe magnets, the phone may not attach securely or charge reliably.
Can I charge my phone in landscape orientation?
Yes. The magnetic pad holds the phone in either portrait or landscape, so you can position it however you prefer for StandBy mode, video calls, or streaming.
Does the USB-C port charge laptops?
It can charge smaller laptops and tablets that accept USB-C Power Delivery, delivering up to 35 watts when used alone. That is enough for many ultrabooks and iPads but may not suffice for larger, power-hungry models.
Will this block the second outlet?
No. The unit is designed to fit a standard two-outlet receptacle without covering the neighboring plug, so you can still use the second outlet for something else.
Can I use this for travel?
Yes. The prongs fold flat, making it compact enough to slip into a bag. It replaces multiple chargers if you are carrying both a phone and a USB-C device.
