The conceptual 'Mr. Charger' stand is a cute way for smartphone users to recharge their device that will either place it on display or work to keep it disabled to curb usage. Looking like a small robotic character, the charger packs wireless charging functionality within along with a clock face on the front to let users see the time without toggling their smartphone. The charger can be used in different orientations and also acts as a clock when not in use to make it a charming addition to any workstation.
