Apple has teamed up with Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE to launch iPhone Pocket, a 3D-knitted limited edition accessory designed to carry an iPhone, AirPods, and other everyday items.
The accessory is like a stretchy pocket, not unlike an iPod Sock, but elongated to form a strap made of a ribbed, elastic textile that fully encloses an iPhone yet allows you to glimpse the display...
Qi2 products are supposed to be significantly cheaper than licensed from Apple 'Made for MagSafe' ones, previously released that offer 15W. Yet these products are the same or more. Get stuffed Hyper.
The thing all of these stands forget about is magnetic alignment for the AirPods charger. ESR has this on all of theirs and I'll never use anything else again. Fumbling with AirPods case looking for charging spot is for the birds. The magnetic alignment is a dream. Combined with the fact that ESR MagSafe charger has active cooling to keep the iPhone cool while wireless charging...really can't beat their products in this space, in my opinion.
It's not so much that Hyper's earlier hubs combusted in fire. It's how the company tried to cover up with poor customer service response. I will never forgive the company for that. Ditto for Samsung.

Or you can get a great design puck from twelve south now, a reliable a company with great customer service. Zero chance I will ever buy anything from Hyper. Buyer beware
