The charging station is an excellent workmanship and looks (in dark blue) also extremely stylish, especially when the ring is blue when charging. To function, I can not understand the previous mentioned shortcomings. The station charges as fast as with a USB cable, but without quick charge in about. At 100%, the color of the ring changes to green and the station goes into trickle charge mode. Even with incoming alerts with vibration the cell phone remains safe lying on the integrated rubber ring and is further charged. For price you can only say: the stands when ordering and when one is too high, just buy a more favorable.
