The Coolest Phone Charger Your Money Can Buy

Dealing with a USB cord and wall socket all the time is a total pain, and although the first party charging docks from Apple and Google aren't eye sores, they're not exactly head turners either. Enter -- Switch Wireless Smartphone Chargers. They have an elegant and sophisticated design made from walnut and ceramic and can charge a phone or tablet wirelessly with a new technology called Qi. What is Qi? It's pronounced "Chee" and is basically a little chip built into your phone or tablet that allows you to ditch the cables and go wireless. Qi manufacturers are Blackberry, WP, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, LG Electronics, Sony, Motorola Mobility, Asus, and Huawei, and you can buy cases for your iPhone that have Qi built right into it.
