Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 travel charger review

The Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in 1 Qi2 portable charger combines all your charging needs in one, so if you like me have multiple devices and travel alot during the year this is the ideal kit for you to have at your disposal.
Strong magnets hold ButterFly SE closed while in your bag, which is then unfolded as required to charge devices. More than a charger, ButterFly SE morphs into a hands-free display stand. Stream shows, FaceTime, or use iPhone’s gorgeous StandBy Mode. The magnetic Apple Watch charger on ButterFlySE tilts up to use Nightstand Mode. ButterFly SE can also be used as a compact display stand when you’re just charging your Apple Watch. A coordinating braided USB-C charging cable is included.
Having tested this out this does not only work with Apple products it will charge other compatible Android Phones, earbuds and Watches I tested the Apple watch SE2 here Google Pixel several earbuds and Samsung Watches and overall this is and ideal kit for those who travel and have more than one device and means less cables to worry about, it is slick portable and will fit into any pocket, tech or travel bag and built really well too.
Available from Twelve South UK and Apple

QDOS PowerLoop: 2-in-1 lanyard data and charge cable Review

The QDOS PowerLoop: 2-in-1 lanyard and charging cable for security and power is an ideal cable to have at your disposal full stop.

As a person who goes through countless cables in any given year due to their usage this one sets the bar for strength alone looks and features data transfer and 60w charging in USB-C which means less cables all round.

Being a lanyard style which seems be making a comeback means you can carry anywhere and have your phone attached and ready to plug into your laptop to charge or transfer files on the fly at 480mbps.

The cable is 1.2M long so it can be worn around your neck or should or just left in your travel or tech bag which kind of defeats the purpose but the options are they and it is down to personal choice on this matter.

This will with all iOS and Android devices and there is a little attachment that sits under you case allowing the cable to be attached which is a simple process.

From a security standpoint today when there  is plenty of phone snatching it is a good idea to wear the strap in whatever way you like.

Once connected to a PC or Laptop like with any other data cable they will pick up the device you are using making it easy for data transfer on the move which is handy.

The ends of the cable are also well built an d are built to last like most cables you see that tend to break at the ends or the cable frays and this should not happen with this cable with how well built it is.

Twelve South, an innovative Apple accessories designer, today introduces ButterFly, the world’s smallest 2-in-1 USB-C MagSafe charger that allows users to charge their iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously on the go. 

The brand has also just launched a UK website twelvesouth.co.uk, allowing customers in the region to shop directly for the first time, in addition to retailers like Apple and Amazon.

Designed with travel in mind, the ultra-compact and lightweight ButterFly takes up minimal space in a backpack, handbag or carryon.

Featuring a durable aluminium shell, ButterFly unfolds to reveal a MagSafe charger for iPhone and a magnetic fast charger for an Apple Watch. A vegan leather band tethers the chargers together and one cable, which is included, is all it takes to charge these two devices together. ButterFly can also charge wireless AirPods, simply lay the AirPods Pro charging case on top of the ButterFly charger to power up. 

More than just a charger, ButterFly morphs into a display stand that supports StandBy mode on iPhone or Nightstand mode on Apple Watch. When folded in half, the little aluminium disk can also serve as a hands-free viewing stand so users can prop their iPhone up and join a video meeting, stream shows, view notifications or FaceTime with their family. What’s more, the magnetic watch charging disk on ButterFly tilts so users can lay their Apple Watch flat or upright in Nightstand mode. When only charging a watch, users can fold ButterFly to create a beautiful pedestal.
