It's super convenient for me to drop my phone in the phone holder when I get in my car and have it start charging, and to just take it out of the holder when I exit my car, without having to plug and unplug the phone. It's different from charging at home since when at home, I pick up and use the phone in my hand even while it's charging, so a wireless charger is less useful, while in a car the phone has to stay in the holder when I am driving, so saving the steps of having to plug and unplug makes sense.

- shard 6y agoAre you referring to the phone holder in the car? I can see how a phone holder with a magnetic charging cable can give similar functionality, with the addition that the home charger would also need to be magnetic so that there is no need to plug and unplug the adaptor. Also, I wonder how finicky aligning the magnetic connection would be in a phone holder -- it's has not been a problem with my wireless charger: either the wireless charger in my phone holder has pretty wide tolerances in alignment, or the holding clips were well designed, as I have not had any instances where it did not align and charge.
