Samsung Wireless Charging Vehicle Dock
Wireless charging is a great commodity for your home of office, but why not bring that same convenience to your vehicle?
This Samsung Galaxy S6 wireless charging vehicle dock can be mounted to your windshield or dashboard and lets you power-up your device without having to mess with cables. It comes bundled with its own microUSB cable and car charging adapter for plugging into the base of the mount, as well as a 3M adhesive pad for dash mounting.
You can rotate your device vertically or horizontally in any position, depending on what's most comfortable for you while driving. From our experience, however, this mount works best with either a very thin case or no case at all; making it a more suitable choice for those who prefer their Galaxy S6 naked.
