Made from recyclable plastic, the jewelry box-like style is not only filled with a plethora of plug-in charging selections like a typical USB hub, but Ampi also capabilities an induction charging surface best which tends to make recharging the equal of drag and drop. A entrance drawer opens to expose a single USB-C and two USB-A ports, together with two power outlets for plugging in accessories.
