I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I use one every night. It keeps my phone in a predictable spot, and it always charges fully overnight anyways. It's also less wear and tear on the port.

I also got one and don't use it - used to use one with my previous phone and I'm pretty sure it ruined the battery over time (it causes the phone to heat up which affects the battery). Got another one, this time with a build in fan, but the high pitch noise the fan makes annoys so I don't use this one either.

You can get magnetic plugs now, you just stick a little magnetic dongle in the port and leave it there and then the cord just magnetically attaches to the phone. That way you have the benefit of charging it fast. Plus not wearing out the port

I had one of those, but I work in construction, so I can't use those.

This pretty much sums up how I treat my gf.

At least you're keeping her port intact for the rest of us

This is communism.
