TwelveSouth’s PowerBug turns outlets into wireless chargers.

Similar to Zens’ Wireless Charging Adapter, the $49.99 PowerBug delivers true wireless charging by plugging directly into an outlet without a USB cable. It’s compatible with MagSafe and Qi2-compatible devices and is designed to give you an elevated place to mount your phone in the kitchen or bathroom.

It includes an extra USB-C port for charging an additional device but the PowerBug’s size, and an attached smartphone, could end up blocking an adjacent outlet.
