Workaround for weak wireless charging
Relatively low profile. The regular usb-a connector on the right side of the tray is only 1.5a which most of the magsafe chargers aren't happy with. This puts the phone far away enough that the car's wireless charging doesn't kick in but the NFC for digital key works just fine.

Admittedly I don't know enough about the wireless charging, but while the built-in charger may not be charging the phone, could it be "charging" (or rather dumping heat) into the ESR charger and causing a fire hazard? If not, I could see myself using this setup without the charging at all and just as a phone mount.
