Exhausted by a morning of skimming Trump Tweets and gazing at YouTube mashups, our iPhones spend the better part of the afternoon plugged into a charger.
Rather than keeping it tethered to the Earth by a white cable, how about changing things up. About five centimetres up.
This hovering piece of magnificence is the OvRcharge: a wireless phone charger that utilises a nifty bit of magnet magic to add some much needed theatre to an otherwise tedious process.
How does it work?
The floating and charging trick is owed to a special phone case: hidden within the case's thin layer of plastic is a set of copper coils that pick up charge from the accompanying charge base. It also contains a small magnet that repels a second, larger magnet in the charge base.
OvRcharge makes super thin cases for all major models of Apple, Samsung, LG, Sony and Hauwei phone. HTC 10 and OnePlus 3 users are also covered.
Floating, with style
Plug in the charge base, position your phone a few centimetres above it and you're good to go.
There's also a larger version available for tablets.
How do I get one?!
The OvRcharge is currently seeking backers on Kickstarter.
Should it achieve its goal (it's over halfway toward its $40,000 target already), you'll be able to buy a charger for around £180, with delivery due for December 2016.
Now, could someone figure out how we could get our computer monitor to do a similar trick?
