    It’s cool, I want to know how it works! But I don’t trust it. All it takes is an accidental moment of suction to destroy a microphone or moisture seal. Or maybe someone accidentally dropped a bobby pin or something in there that could damage the charging port? That’s all it would take to basically ruin my phone…

    I also don’t trust the employees to care or know how to safely remove a phone if a motor died or the building lost power… But I realize I’m paranoid! 🤷‍♂️

      It’s a bit narrow with lots of moving parts. Maybe a clamshell setup would be easier and more usable with different phone sizes / accessories?
