It used to be super popular, those pop-sockets. I remember being tempted by marketing companies to get our logos on them. Problem was, I enjoyed Qi charging - and they just put too much space between the Qi coil and the charger to be useful.
Well, along comes MagSafe and it helps to alleviate this problem.
UAG utilizes this to make a metallic ring stand that connect to your phone with magnets and then it's on securely to use as a stand as needed - and then the piece can be removed easily so that you can charge it up on Qi.
The device runs at $49.99CAD, so it's quite pricier than your standard pop socket, but really the feature of it being easily removed is what you're paying for.
Here's a video of it and another UAG accessory
The ring itself has some strong magnets be strong enough to allow it to be moved and placed and not fall off (you could hang it but I wouldn't trust it like on a bike).
With 2 joints, it then has 3 sort of moving parts to allow you to have it in whatever configuration you want. (and as it's removable you can move it around to any angle you like)
It's a great little accessory to keep at your desk or take with you in a travel bag for those longer flights.
