Also worth noting that wireless charging is *much* less power efficient vs a plug, as one would expect. Trade-offs either way.
if you're using Anrdoid, you can randomly display selected photos stored in your Google Photos during wireless charging.

My Pixel 4 with a Quad Lock case works with the standard Google Pixel wireless charging stand, but I have to align the phone much more precisely on the stand than when I had a Spigen case on it.
