DO NOT BUY THIS PASSIVE CHARGER.

When I got my last phone (samsung galaxy) a couple years ago it came with a free passive charger, the round angled one mentioned above. I used it for a couple of months. Yes, it was convenient. When I noticed a hot smell and the phone got hot as hell I stopped using it. I have plugged in ever since. Really, I have no issue with plugging a phone in, the whole passive charge thing is, IMO, a gimmick targeting lazy people.

So is having a phone that you can take with you wherever you go instead of relying on the one plugged into the wall of your home or in a booth at the corner gas station. Or maybe a having a TV that you don’t have walk across the room to change the channel or adjust the volume.

Remote control TV is for lazy people, right?

Point is, that wanting things that are more convenient isn’t being lazy...it’s human nature to want things to be easier to use and do more. It’s why we develop technology at all.
