> then you align and site the phone on top of the puck. Just a minor point, but the phone does not need to be aligned on top of the puck in a particular direction, (as can be seen in the video)
I think the main advantage is that of just being able to place the phone down without having to mess around with plugging in any cables, as with some taxies and charging stations with charging points where the phone is just placed on the charging shelf, which obviously reduces any wear-n-tear on the phones fixed socket and is quick and easier.
However, as you say, if having to carry around all of the charging accessories then it could become tedious and inconvenient if using the charging adaptor in the video.
Edit
I also asked a question only last week with regards to wireless charging and was told overcharging can also still apply as with wired charging, so again, be aware of not leaving the device on the charger for longer than necessary or recommended.
