The basic design of the WildCharger is unchanged. It's a bit bulky, but it can lie flat in a suitcase for long travels. The primary parts are the shiny silver mat and the AC adapter that you plug into an electrical outlet. The universal adapter attaches to the back side of your phone with an adhesive circle that can be removed. Sticking out at one end is an arm with the charging tip; just wrap the arm to your charging port and insert the connecter. The tip attaches to the arm magnetically so you can swivel it around if you need to make it fit. You'll also be able to change the tip according to your phone's make.
To charge the phone, just place adapter and phone on the charging pad. The adapter has four tiny bumps on its rear side that attach to the pad magnetically. It's pretty secure so the phone should stay affixed to the pad even if you shake it around. You'll just need to remember to not place the pad on a metal surface or it won't work.
We tried charging a nearly drained Nokia 5300 Xpress Music. We got a full charge in about an hour and a half, which is quite respectable. Like with our previous WildCharger review, the phone grew pretty hot during the charging process, but it wasn't alarming. As the WildCharger outputs 15 watts of power, WildCharge says you can charge as many devices that can fit on the pad. Unfortunately, we had only one adapter so we didn't get to put it to heavy use.
