Pond Ripple Charger

I found little info on it, but it appeared to be such a beautiful little piece of tech that I ordered one. Anyone try one of these? It has a small battery or can be wired. Slick.

Nobody?! Nothing?! It seems too well built an object for nobody to know anything

I've never heard of them. I took a peek at the original kickstarter, and read the reviews on amazon. Odd that there's only 2. Most of the info I found online is pretty old. Mr. Mobile did mention it in his review of best wireless chargers though.

Yeah I did the same search. It appears a pretty cool thing. I’ll post how it is. It arrives Monday. Looks pretty nice doesn’t it?

I like the way some of them look, but they're a bit pricey.

My issue is that wireless charging is already inefficient. There is already power loss with charging from a battery backup, so I'm curious just how much your phone can actually charge from the battery in the wireless charger. OTOH, it could be a "lifesaver" if you charge you phone each night and lose power one night -- it would ensure you phone still recharges overnight. Personally, I prefer just to use a standard portable battery pack, rather than needing a larger battery to be able to wirelessly charge.

I have gone through so many cables. I’m excited about wireless charging and couldn’t care less about efficiency. Convenience rules my world.

Received it and returning it. Not worth the cash.

Thanks for the update. It'd have to be pretty awesome to be worth $100.00 bucks!

It would’ve been pretty cool a couple years ago.... but not today. On Amazon it was $75, but not worth that either.
