Really great design!

Advantages:- Plug configuration: We already have a long rectangular extension cable with regular 3-pin and USB sockets. One of my biggest disappointments is the placement of the 3-pin sockets. They're so close together that something with a larger plug (like a smart adapter) takes up too much space, rendering the neighboring outlet unusable. All four 3-pin outputs are scattered around it, so no problem. Placing half of the USB ports on opposite sides of the device also makes cable management a bit easier. The Qi charging pad above works as expected. You have to pretty much perfectly center your phone on it to plug your phone in, but that's typical of most horizontal Qi chargers. Best of all, both my iPhone and my wife's Google Pixel work on it, eliminating the need for two extra USB cables, saving us at least $10-$12. (in my opinion) too easy. The extension cord is quite thick - strong, but thick and stiff. We have a power strip on the back of the sideboard and the cord runs through the back. The stiff 90 degree cord means it doesn't sit flat and slip a bit. A little more weight and rubber feet would really help here. But since most extension cords have the same problem, I don't see the point in deducting a star (maybe half a star) for that. Perhaps the cable will gain flexibility over time. I'll probably add velcro or something to hold it in place better.
