There are lots of options for wireless charging, but it took OtterBox to really innovate and come up with a system so cool, you'll immediately want one for yourself. The OtterBox "OtterSpot" is a Qi Wireless charging system that includes a dock and highly portable 5000 mAh batteries that, yes, can charge your Qi compatible devices (like the iPhone) without any wires needed.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out the new OtterSpot Wireless Charging System and finds it's one of the most fun and innovative products in the market. Expensive? Definitely. But really cool and ingenious? Yes, definitely that too.

This is definitely the most unique wireless charger on the market
0:03
Let's have a look. Dave Taylor here, and this time I'm looking at wireless chi charging
0:15
specifically the latest from Otter Box. Now, Otterbox over-engineers and does a great job with everything
0:21
I'm a big fan. And this is no different. They have done something really, really innovative with wireless charging
0:27
It's these. These are the Otter Spot. system. And you look at this and you're like, okay, it's a hockey puck. It's not actually. It's a
0:35
5,000 mill-amp hour battery with wireless chi charging. So I can put my phone on there and my wireless
0:42
compatible phone. This is a iPhone 10R with, you've got to check this out. That is super cool
0:48
The Spider-Man case from Otterbox. We'll get back to the cases at the end, but I put it on
0:54
and it's charging. Now, when this needs to be charged, I just drop it on the stack. It has a magnet. It
0:59
in the right place and now it's charging up and it's even giving me a little
1:03
LED feedback on how charged it is now what makes this really cool is they're
1:09
stackable so now I have a second one too so this is perfect if you're a couple
1:15
you can leave this overnight you can leave the whole thing piled up like this
1:19
it will do the right thing it'll charge the phone then it'll charge the devices and in
1:24
the morning you leave you grab this you throw this in your purse or backpack or
1:27
briefcase and two of the way through the day when your phone getting a little bit tired you just drop it on and let it charge At night you put them back on One for you one for your gal or guy
1:40
And there's even more. You can buy additional and you can stack them up
1:44
So crazy cool idea. Now, let me tell you a little bit about the chargers
1:49
These are Chi certified 10-watt chargers. So there are more powerful chargers
1:54
I just looked at a 20-watt charger from Show Me. But, you know, 10 watts is a standard for wireless charging, and it does a decent job
2:02
It's not going to be lightning fast, but that's okay. You're just doing this to top it up a little bit, right
2:07
So it does wired charging, so you can use these if you don't have a wireless device
2:13
There is a USBC plug on the back, so you can use that and plug in anything and charge that
2:18
So if you're with a friend and they're like, oh, I'm running out of juice
2:22
Well, if they have the right cable, they can tap into your battery. So that's pretty handy
2:26
Let's see, the LED lights, as I said, show charging status and charge status for the battery itself
2:35
And there's an anti-slip surface. There's a ring on the top that makes it so your phone, even at an angle, isn't going to fall off
2:42
Well, not enough of an angle, it will fall off. But like this, it's going to work perfectly well
2:45
And that's important because a lot of wireless charging, you have to get it in the right spot for it to charge
2:51
And then you don't want your phone to move in case someone touches it because now it's not going to be charging
2:56
So solves that and it has the same surface on the bottom
3:00
And of course, the really cool piece of this is you can stack these. So I really really hugely a fan of this engineering and I showed my kids and my friends and everyone immediately like well if you don need that I take it It like no we going to keep this one This is actually really cool
3:15
And let's see, you have the base unit, comes in a big box, and that gives you basically this
3:21
You get the base and the wire. It's a USBC charging wire and this pretty hefty power adapter that you plug in
3:30
I have it plugged into an extension cord. So all of that's the base unit. And then you can buy additional pucks or otter spots. And the pricing is a little on the spendy side. So let me get to that in just a second. But the whole design and engineering is just so cool. This is such a smart way to solve this problem. And it's just so easy. You know, if you have wireless charging, you're ready to rock and roll. How easy is that? Now, before we get to pricing, let me ask if you, you, yes, you can subscribe to my channel
4:01
appreciate it and give me some feedback let me know if you think this is a cool
4:05
idea and a great piece of engineering or whether it's just me who knows but
4:09
let me know give me some feedback okay let's talk about pricing so the biggest
4:14
the biggest bite here is the base unit which comes with one puck and the base
4:20
and the wire and the charging device and that will put you back a hundred and
4:25
twenty nine ninety five and you can pick that up at otterbox.com if you want to
4:30
buy additional pucks the additional additional pucks are 6995. I shouldn't call them pucks
4:35
I should say additional otter spots. Let see what do they call it They call this the otter spot wireless charging battery And this also comes each one comes with its own USBC cable
4:48
Obviously, there's no way you can fit this into this. So that charging unit does not include it
4:54
But you know, these are, you could get one and use it and just charge it via USBC, I suppose
5:00
but you're sort of missing out on all the coolness. And then I did want to highlight that I have these two glorious cases that Otterbox sent along
5:07
too. This one is the glow in the dark. Glow in the dark, Spider-Man case. 5495. It's fantastic case
5:18
just like every case from Otterbox. And if you're a Disney fan, this one's even more fun
5:22
This is Maleficent. They have a new line of Disney villains, super fun, a little bit spendy
5:28
This one's 59.95, but check them out again, you know, basically everything Otterbox does
5:35
I am impressed with. You know, it's premium. stuff at a premium price, but boy, they really get it right. So I say check it out
5:42
If you have wireless charging and you're tired of having to deal with your phone dying
5:46
this is a great system. It's a great piece of engineering, very innovative, well done
5:51
So with that, I'll catch you in my next video
