Sidelinx UV-C Sanitizing Bag

Hey guys… a little more Tech Talk w/TK. ⁠

Are you guys looking for a way to get your devices and commonly handled stuff clean?  Better than just wiping them down individually?  Do you take your phone with you everywhere like me (you know where I mean)?  Do you believe that UV-C light sanitizing is a thing?  Well, with everything going on, I was looking for a way to keep my stuff a little more germ-free.  After checking with a couple of medical professionals, I have bought into the idea that UV-C light can be used to kill the little things that you can’t see.  So, I set out to find a solution that was big enough for my iPad and was affordable.

The device shown and listed here is what I went with.  Here are some quick notes on it.

The Good:

  • Easy to use- Just place your devices inside, zip it up and press the button.  Done!
  • Large enough to handle my iPad and other daily carry items (keys, wallet, sunglasses, MASKS, and more)
  • The device is portable if you’re looking for that.  Just fold it up and take it with you.
  • Full Coverage- Lights on top and bottom of the device, reflective interior, and raised tray for devices.  Gives you 360-degree coverage.
  • The UV-C light kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in 3 min!  At least in theory 🙂

The not so good:

  • Nothing really, but you have to buy into the whole UV-C Sanitizing thing 🙂

Hoidokly 15W Mag-Safe Wireless Charger

Hey guys… a little more Tech Talk w/TK. ⁠

As a new iPhone 12 Pro user, you may be wondering (I know I was), what’s all the fuss about Mag-Safe charging all about?  Isn’t it just another wireless charger?  Well, it is and it isn’t. 

What we’re looking at today is an example of a new Mag-Safe 15W wireless charger by Hoidokly.  Those of you who know me know I love my wireless chargers.  I have them everywhere!  Unfortunately, while wireless chargers can be super convenient, they can be a bit finicky at times.  You drop your phone down, and if you don’t place it quite right, no charge for you! That is where the new Mag-Safe chargers come in.  Now when you drop your phone down, the chargers snap into the right position, ensuring a solid connection and successful charge.  No more guessing, did I hit it right?

The 15W Wireless charger by Hoidokly does just that.  I was intrigued by the sleek square form, shiny black color, and integrated kickstand.  So I gave it a whirl.  Here is what I found:

The Good:

•    Charger snaps securely in place on my iPhone 12 Pro

•    It utilizes the USB C connection to help optimize charging performance

•    When connected to a good charging brick, like the Anker Nano 20W USB C, it charges faster than the basic Apple charger.

•    The kickstand allows you to raise your phone in a portrait mode for viewing while charging. 

The Not-So-Good:

•    No charging brick provided.  Why not provide a charging brick to ensure peak performance from the device?

•    A little pricey- At ~$26, having to BYOB (Bring-Your-Own-Brick) makes it a little pricey vs some competitors

•    The kickstand is just a metal piece that wedges into the back.  While it stores magnetically, I would have loved to see it connected and able to fold out.  I can definitely see it getting lost over time.

Overall, while the Hoidokly 15W charger is a pretty cool Mag-Safe wireless charging option, it’s not as cool as I thought it would be. 😊
