Now if you can get a wireless charging mat like they are including in more new cars, then you are on to something as it is more universal for different size phones. Another negative for wireless charging for me is that my phone is always in a case to protect it; I care more about the screen than a wireless charge. It isn't that hard to plug it in.
Yeah that's all fair, though I use a very low profile case because I really hate bulky ones, so wireless charging still works for me. I also just hate plugging the phone in all the time, I don't know what it is, I have an aversion to it now.

I'm still torn about this. But I do really love the organizing tray and actually bought it, it's sitting at home. So I'm ready to install it if I decide to pull out the phone cradle thing.
