Good idea, not so great execution

First off, it should be clear that the case/magnet backing is REQUIRED and since there are no magnets available separately, you need a case (which has been fine, would suggest black vs white because white is getting very visibly dirty). Overall, the idea of the product is great. Love the magnet/case combo, with wireless charging built-in. Unfortunately, the plastic around the micro-usb ports on both the phone case and car charger were very small and could not fit my cables so I had to cut parts of the plastic away w/ a scalpel and now it fits just fine (was a hassle to do though). The wireless charging itself is not very powerful at all. I tried the supplied cable, used my own Samsung Adaptive Fast-Charging car adapter/cable, and a third party car adapter, all 3 were the same rate (which was slow enough that using GPS and bluetooth for music very slowly drained the phone). I may just be used to fast charging, but losing 0-2% battery life while using GPS/music for 30-60 min isn't ideal. Not sure if that's just a wireless charging limitation overall or your product specifically.
