If you can use it with the kickstand it will be very useful.

 

It would be useful if you could use the kickstand. I could be wrong, but I think cover to mat contact is necessary for it to charge, and so the phone will have to lay flat on the mat.

 

I have seen similar systems that allow you to charge devices in cases hopefully this will work the same way. If it allows for kickstand used in landscape while charging they will sell very well, it would explain the horrible design choice with the kickstand and charging port.

 

The mat just seems like a cool piece of technology, rather then a useful piece of technology. Is it worth $40 to not have to plug in the phone charger? Not for me. But it's cool.

 

Well the whole point of the inductive chargers is so you don't have 500 cords lying around. So it is more of a benifit to thouse that have multipule devices that they need to charge. For instance if you have a phone, an iPod, etc.

It is also a convenence thing. Intead of having to plug the phone in, all you have to do is set it down on the mat. No pluging and un-pluging all the time.

 

Wireless charger or lay it on a mat? Wireless charging doesn't sound safe kinda haarp waves eating your brain.
