REVIEW – I use my smartphone all day long, and always have the need to recharge it or top up the charge. When I am at my media workstation, I hate having to plug my phone in to charge it and usually I opt for a wireless charger of some sort. Using a conventional wireless charger means having a device on my desk that makes it more cluttered than it already is. I like the side tables and furniture sold these days with wireless charging built into some space on the surface. They allow me to rest my phone in that area. The downside is that I would have to add yet another piece of furniture into my studio space and I would then have to get up and place the phone on that piece of furniture that would not be within my immediate reach. The KPON Invisible Wireless Charger offers “invisible” and unobtrusive charging wherever I want it. Let’s see if it delivers.

Installing the KPON Invisible Wireless Charger means no more fiddling with wires and desk clutter. it is built from metal and plastic and is flat and round in shape. The top surface is the charging surface and there is a USB-C port on the side.
Setup
In order to use the KPON invisible wireless charger, it has to be mounted under the desk/table. There are 2 stickers provided to mark the charging position. The decision on which one to use is based on the thickness of the desk.
Performance
Here is the final result:
What I like
- Solid build quality
- Works well
- Nice accessory to identify the charging area
What I’d change
- Not sure if I can reuse the surface sticker if I want to move the charger. No extra stickers are provided
Final thoughts
The KPON Invisible Wireless Charger gives me the ability to place wireless charging in any desired location as long as the type and thickness of the material meet the requirements. So far it charges consistently and has not failed. Apart from not having additional stickers should I need to relocate it, all else works.

I suppose if you bump your device off-center it will stop charging? (First World problem)
Hi John,
If you go off center far enough it will stop charging. If does have a bit of flexibility in movement.
Are MagSafe cases safe to leave on during charging?
