First Look at Premium Charging Plate

[Sojhinn]

Literally lift up the plate from the center near the granola bowl. I do not recommend using anything but fingers. The top plate can take a decent amount of bending.

In case anyone wanted to see more with the FE interior. Top plate is the raw walnut with a couple coats of Odie's

Damn that’s close. What’s odies?

I was pretty pleased with how it all turned out-- really appreciate the package you created. Improved functionality and better design? Win! Plus, I'll do anything for adventure points.

Odie's offers a finishing oil. It was at the house and I ran with it.

The pucks can stick to the top plate pretty good. If you use just your fingers, you can stretch the plate at the edge, and you might crack the wood. Sliding a short thin knife underneath to separate the pucks from the plate is much safer.

Bamboo in FE interior with a couple coats of satin poly sprayed on it. Looks great!

Looks great! Just ordered!

I think you may be getting a lot more orders now that many of us need to free up the USB-C slots for the Rivian dash cam.

Been thinking the same. Also full speed charging helps.

Also... Secret new wood. Rosewood. What do you think?

Dash cam needs the USB C on the driver side center console. If you are using any of the plates that are not our Premium plate, that removes one of the USBs used for charging.

Stay tuned we will be offering a wired version shortly.

Ahh gotcha makes sense

I already started looking for a usbc hub asi frequently need USB A charging and this is another reason to move forward with a hub

I've had an issue with the cop cover of my plate. The edge of the top right next to the granola bowl has curled up. not sure if it's due to heat, or material or what, but it prevents the phone from sitting properly and looks pretty bad. Also, there is a pretty prominent horizontal line in the material almost in the middle between the back and the bowl cutout.
