In today’s world of tech and stress, sometimes little things help make life just a bit easier. Here are two of those items from the folks at ZAGG.
Desk Mat with Wireless Charging
The MagSafe compatible Desk Mat with wireless charging from ZAGG makes a desk neater, less cluttered, and convenient. The integrated USB-C cord transforms this from just a desk mat into a convenient apparatus.
At 27 ½ inches long and 12 inches wide, this mat fits keyboards, keypads, mice and other devices. The wireless charging declutters desks, negating the need for an additional wireless charging pad or stands.
Because it is wireless charging, there’s no need to plug in iPods to charge them. Simply place the wireless charging holder on the mat and continue with whatever you’re doing. No additional cords are necessary to recharge your devices.
The mat itself is non-slip and includes two grooves near the top to hold a pen, stylus, writing utensils, etc. The two grooves make it easy for both right and left handed users to have their tools handy. And when placed in the grooves, they won’t roll away.
For those looking to declutter their desk while at the same time being able to charge their Qi-enabled devices, this might be just what is needed.
The mat comes rolled in a protective tube. The mat is soft to the touch with the maximum speed of 10W for wireless charging. It’s not super fast charging, but it is charging, nonetheless. Unfortunately, the only color it comes in at the moment is black.
Mophie Universal Belt Clip
The Mophie Universal Belt Clip keeps your phone secure and safely attached to a belt. The unit is adjustable with a spring loaded holder to fit almost any size phone.
Switching the phone from vertical to horizontal is just a matter of clicking the holder. This can be accomplished while the unit remains safely attached to a belt. Phones can be adjusted to several angles for the user’s preference.
While it is primarily used for belts (that’s in the name), it can be secured on purses, pant waists, pockets, and other areas where it can snugly clip on. Personally, I don’t wear a belt when I go for a walk, so I just clip this onto the waistband of my pants and off I go.
The soft area holding the phone won’t scratch or mar the device. And the clip itself is very strong and sturdy.
If you’re tired of holding your phone and want a safe and secure way to keep it with you, check out the mophie universal belt clip.
