    A new way to charge (some) cell phones.

    It's all done with magnets...almost!

    The easiest way to charge a cell phone these days is to just drop it on a charging pad. (Once your device is in the necessary charging case. That will be changing soon though.) I prefer it when you don’t even have to physically connect a single cable to your device to start the charging cycle. PowerMat does that quite well, but now there’s a new device on the market called Magnetyze. And it adds a few features that I like better than the PowerMat. Developed by BuQuTech, the Magnetyze family of magnetic charging accessories, are available for iPhones and for the Samsung Android Galaxy 3. As the name implies it uses their patent-pending magnetic technology to keep smartphones charged and ready to go. If the power cable is plugged into a computer it will also synchronize the device. There is no physical cable connection the phone. The reason I like it better than my PowerMat is the way Magnetyze holds your phone. Instead of it lying flat, it stands up so you can easily view the screen. You can also rotate the phone 360 degrees while it’s still charging. And when it’s time ot get a new smartphone, you only need to replace the Magnetyze case. In addition to the desk stand, the kit comes with a magnetic charging cable for use in the office or on the go. And there are other Magnetyze accessories too which will work with any available Magnetyze smartphone case – Android or iPhone. Kits range in price from $59.99 to $69.99
