Crowd-Funded Qi Wireless Charger on Track for Late July Shipping

Matryx bowed a Qi wireless phone charger dubbed HoverCharge that can be used flat or displayed as a stand. The charger offers 7.5 watts for supported iPhones and 10 watts for supported Android devices, said the company. The mount uses epoxy-based rubber rather than magnets or metal plates that can interfere with near-field communication payments or cause damage to a phone, said the company. Preorder price of the Kickstarter-backed charger is $19, with shipments set to begin in late July at $59.
