Love This!

User: Mike Pellerin, Apr 10, 2010

Pros: So easy to use.
Cons: None

I love my touchstone. Just drop the phone on it and it charges! What could be simpler? Before the Touchstone, opening that little, flimsy USB door kinda freaked me out. I always thought I was gonna break it. But now, no worries, the Touchstone makes it cable free. (Note: the USB door works better now with more use, like when I USB music. But it still feels so flimsy).

I only have the one Touchstone, but I plan on buying another for travel.

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Works pefectly the first one I bought did a looping thing at night but took it back and got antoher and this works fine some people think it is a software issue but its not. If your having this issue go get a replacement. Got mine on sale at Radio Shack for 44.96.

Must Have

User: Cyberdactyl D, Oct 30, 2009

Pros: No cords!
Cons: Pricey

Because this phone is indeed so different with its aesthetic interface, this induction charging method only adds to the phones flair as an eclectic device.

The bottom sticking surface of the charging unit reminds me of the material sold years ago as "sticky sandals", as it acts like an adhesive, but only utilizes a cohesive force. To re-invigorate the surface just wipe it gently with a warm moist cloth.

The replacement back plate for the phone is also very nice. The feel is sort of a cross between high quality brushed leather and rubber.

It charges the phone quickly, a little less than a percent a minute.

My only con is the phones back plate and stone are maybe 30 above the price point I would have thought appropriate.

Phenomenal Product

User: Mike Morris, Oct 25, 2009

Having had several phones where you constantly have to fight with an obnoxious cable port that may or may not hold securely, this is truly an incredible product. I just place the phone on the touchstone, and it does all the work. Charge time is remarkably fast considering theres no plug connection. I go from almost dead to fully charged in about two hours. Its really wonderful. Everybody should have one!

Convenient

User: J Berry, Oct 24, 2009

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Weird noise

Ordered this from precentral and it didnt work. The charger kept turning on and off and making a weird faint beeping sound. HOWEVER, precentral sent me a new one and emailed me a return label (great customer service!). The new one works well. The back door is an upgrade and is grippier than the standard door. The charger is very convenient. It is so nice to just put the phone down on the charger and not have to plug it in. I sometimes still hear this faint beep when the phone is on the touchstone. Not sure what that is, but it is minorly annoying.

I combined this with the Zagg screen protector and I am thoroughly happy. The screen protector is easy to install and is awesome. I am buying them for all my electronic gadgets.
