Most wireless chargers solve one problem and create another: a cable snaking across the nightstand and nowhere to put the stuff in your pockets. Twelve South’s Valet 4.25 fixes both at once. It is a Nappa leather tray, 9.75 inches long and 4.25 wide, with a Qi2.2 charging pad built into one end that delivers the full 25W MagSafe speed to newer iPhones, plus a USB-C port that charges a second device at up to 10W while the phone charges. The frame is magnetic and interchangeable in black, taupe, brown and ecru, the weighted zinc alloy base keeps it planted, and the cable hides underneath, with a Goodnight Glow that confirms charging, then fades so the bedroom stays dark. The 45W adapter, a 1.5-meter USB-C cable and international plugs are all in the box. I covered NOMAD’s Stand One MagSafe charger a while back, and this one is the better nightstand answer for the guy who wants his phone, keys and wallet in one place. It is $129.99 at Twelve South, in stock now.
