Traveling with multiple cables gives me a headache. This tiny gadget solved that problem

is a 2-in-1 clamshell charging station that folds neatly enough to fit in your pocket (even tiny women’s pant pockets). 

I’ve tried plenty of 2- and 3-in-1 charging stations from Amazon, but I’ve been burned by slow or faulty charging since I’ve always valued a deal over quality charging power. Additionally, some charging trees aren’t traveler-friendly, as they can take up more space than you’d like in your carry-on.

Instead of a bulky charging station, the ButterFly SE folds into a palm-sized clamshell. On one end is a Qi2-certified 15W wireless charger for your iPhone. The other end of the clamshell is a 5W AirPods and Apple Watch wireless charger that can pop up out of the base to act as a Watch stand.

The ButterFly SE comes with a USB-C charging cord, so all you need is a wall adapter. If you’re like me and your laptop doubles as a portable charger, plug one end of the cord into the clamshell and the other into your laptop’s USB-C port, and you’re ready to rock and roll.

If you’re extremely tight on space, you can flip the ButterFly SE and magnetically connect the outside of the clamshell to charge one device. In this orientation, you can pop up the smaller magnetic charger to act as a Watch stand or use the larger magnetic charger to use your phone in landscape for StandBy Mode, FaceTime, or watching videos. 

is a highly compact and easily portable charging solution. This charging station is great for people more concerned with portability than style since it’s much easier to pack away in your carry-on, pocket, or book bag.

However, the ButterFly SE can only charge two devices at once. If you need a charging station that can simultaneously accommodate your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, consider the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station
