WallJax is a simple solution for making wireless charging that little bit more convenient than it already is, providing a fixed home for your charging needs. The product is available in two flavors, and is set to hit Kickstarter early next month.
With wireless charging becoming more prevalent, we've seen a lot of solutions for integrating Qi pads more seamlessly into our homes.
First up is the WallJax EZ. The unit plugs directly into a 120-volt outlet, providing a small shelf at the top that's just about the right size to sit your smartphone on. The EZ passes through a pair of regular AC outlets, meaning you won't loose any functionality by using it. There's also a USB port on the base of the unit, catering for additional charging needs.
The WallJax Float is similar, but perhaps a little more convenient. It's powered by an included USB cable, and attaches to the wall by either a supplied non-mark adhesive, or by screws. Unlike the EZ, you can place the Float anywhere that you can get power to, making it a little more versatile. The USB power can be attached from below, or from behind, allowing the user to run cables behind the wall for a seamless look.
As the company is crowdfunding the product, there's no guarantee you'll actually be able to ultimately get your hands on it. With that in mind, you can reserve a unit for US$59 for the Float and $79 for the EZ, starting October 6. You're certainly paying for the convenience factor here, as that's pricier than more standard Qi charging pads on the market.
