Totallee takes a break from smartphone cases with their new wireless charging pad

NEWS – It seems like everyone makes a wireless charger nowadays. Totallee known for its ultra-thin smartphone cases is the latest to dip their toe into the wireless charger pool. I have one of their ultra-thin cases on my iPhone Max XS, and I love it.

Much like their cases, the wireless charging pad is a minimalistic design that is almost Impossibly thin (.25″). The pad is square with rounded corners. The modern design is kind of cool in its simplicity.

It offers fast charging with speeds up to 10W, although the 10W speed is only applicable if you have a Samsung device. If you own an iPhone the max charging speed is 7.5W. The pad does require a QC 2.0/3.0 adaptor for fast charging (not included).

The charger also features an LED indicator light, overheating protection and foreign object detection. And of course, it’s compatible with all of Totallee’s cases.

The Totallee wireless charging pad is available for pre-order on their site for $49, with a shipping date of 9/4.

Five Tools to See Your Steam Spending, Play-Time, and Achievement Stats

Character stats are a staple mechanic in video games, so why aren’t they also front and center on your Steam profile?
