Drop Dock holds your phone in place with magnets
5
The Drop Dock is a magnetic dock that’s trying to make charging your phone quick, easy, and wireless. It's basically a MagSafe for phones that fits any Android or iOS device with either a Micro USB or Lightning port. It doesn't require any cables, and its creators claim that phones slip right into the magnetic port. There is a catch, however. To make the dock work, phones have to have an adaptor inserted at all times, or at least when you're planning on charging. Drop Dock launches on Kickstarter soon and will start at $49.
