(BPT) - Between move-in checklists and hectic unpacking days, it's easy to overlook one small item that could make a big difference to your college student's dorm setup — a good wireless charger. No more digging through moving boxes for a lost cable, or "my phone died and I missed your call" texts, and definitely no more fighting for the one outlet in a shared room. This back-to-school season, a reliable wireless charger is a small investment that will solve a daily headache for them and for you.
Wireless charging has come a long way thanks to the new Qi2 wireless charging standard. With previous wireless chargers, you might have wondered if your device was actually connected. Now, the magnetic snap of Qi2-certified chargers keeps devices perfectly aligned for faster, more reliable and convenient charging.
