Didn't want to spend $100-150 on those all in one chargers that were trying to desperately to be edgy and looked mostly ugly and had no real cable management besides.
So I designed this guy, it wirelesslessly charges your iPhone 12 or newer and Apple Watch any Generation and size. It also has options so you can charge airpods on top and use a wire to charge your phone if you need to charge faster than wireless can do it for you.
All the wires for those chargers fit neatly inside the main compartment and you can have them route out the back and into your power strip or whatever OR if you want to step it up and reduce the cable and plug clutter, ANKER and Rav Power (aka I-Smart) make a 65w power brick that has 2 usb c ports and 2 standard usb ports and they fit inside this bad boy so you can have powerful fast charging and only one wire coming out the back for it all.
I would put the airpods and watch on the regular usb slower charge of course and keep the two powerful usb-c ports for the magsafe charger and optional wired charger (hole in the bottom front). You can set it up whichever way you prefer and it has room enough inside to hide it all.
Below are the links to the chargers you can use if you want to reduce wire clutter and speed up charging. Makes it very easy to bring with you on trips too as you can just pick it up and go without the hassle of multiple chargers. it even fits and works with some usb battery packs.
personally I went with the Rav Power (aka I-Smart) one for the 4 I made for our family. Been working great for the last couple months!
You will also need Eight 10mm x 2mm N50 or N52 magnets that glue into the 8 holes in the back, this securely keeps the back on even while moving it around or traveling with it.
These magnets can be found dirt cheap on Amazon and e-Bay.
Also a link of the design process if anyone is interested :-p
