Blocks the second outlet

The concept is cool but all our kitchen outlets are horizontal so using power bug blocks the use of the second outlet when you put your phone on the mage safe part of it.
I have tried several different charging units, all claiming to be the fastest charge ever. NOT !! This product truly is efficient, convenient, and doesn't take up any space. Perfect for my needs !
Love the idea behind this product, but the first one we ordered stopped working after just a few days. We reached out to support and they kindly sent us a replacement (and let us keep both). Unfortunately, the replacement also stopped working. Really disappointing..
This is a really a well-designed charger. I love that it is out of the way and there are no cords. I have been using it in the kitchen, so now I know where my phone is because I can see it from anywhere in the kitchen. I bought 9 more as stocking stuffers for my entire family. My only issue is that it is not a fast charger, so take that into account when using,
I was excited to receive the power bug since my wireless charger was damaged on vacation and this one would fit the need. I did not think nor did I notice that it would not work when the phone has a case. I just have to be more diligent and remove the case each time to use it. So as with most cases, my mediocre rating is because of the user and not the product. I will survive and enjoy using the Power Bug and also, most importantly remind myself not to be so lazy. Thank You!
