Final Thoughts
The Easy Flex Qi has a spot in my vehicle for as long as it works. I’ve really hated the ritual of connecting a USB cable every time I get into my truck. I’ve had Bluetooth for years, and power was the only remaining thing. Now, with a little cable management, I could have a perfect solution for both myself and my navigator.
Two of the downsides – the LED annoyance and the bounce – are things that iOttie can’t really improve much. I do think that later versions could restore the one-handed nature of iOttie’s other products, though.
The price is on par with other boutique Qi chargers, ranging from $60-$80 depending on where it is purchased. I anticipate it showing up on some of the bargain sites for $45-$50 by black Friday this year.
ThinkComputers gives the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Standard Charging Car Mount a 9 out of 10 score and the our Editor’s Choice Award.
Pros:
– Cable management clips included
– LED indicator
– Solid grip on phone
– Absurdly strong adherence to mounting surface
Cons:
– Virtually requires two hands to remove a phone from the device
– LED indicator can get a little annoying if your phone doesn’t report full charge
