I suggest that you do not cover MagSafe pucks. Let them be exposed to securely hold the device. Adding material between the charging pad and phone, will decrease charging throughput, and reduce magnetic holding strength as well.

Yup we will be testing it. To see how much it decreases etc. figured it was worth the cost to try it. As the material isn’t thick.

Just for giggles. Here's an aluminum plate powder coated. This was my initial plan. I really like this a lot.

How does this plate look on top of the pad? Can we see a picture?

Yeah that looks decent but I think it will be pretty hard on those of us who are not using a phone case. I'm looking forward to the softer option and see what that looks like. I do like the look of that though.

We are waiting on the prototype top plates to show up on Feb 6. We could technically offer a 3d printed version of this now.

Hey all here's a quick update on the prototype in the truck. I have a prototype going (all 3d printed currently). And I am happy to say its working great. I'm fairly certain this will be the "final" design. Just waiting on the premium plates to show up (February 6th currently estimated) to show off our choice of softness.

I'm happy to answer any questions. As a reminder this will utilize the OEM connector for charging the magsafe pucks (with the actual oem connector on our buck charger), the charger is held in place utilizing oem connection points and doesn't require any special removal to lift your phones off the chargers, and is made to look as OEM as possible.

Can we use magsafe chargers with the plate if we already own 2 (I bought them for a project like this but I like your rendition better than what I was going to do)

I also like the look of the white chargers hence wanting to use the ones I have already.

I'd personally prefer a textured plastic or rubber similar to what's already in the console on top.
Yes, I second this! The rubber/soft-plastic would be ideal in my opinion.

Yup. All of our designs can use either aftermarket or apple products. In fact I use the apple ones.

Just some vinyl wrap. Some people like to complain about the white. So I just covered it up.
