Twelve South shrinks its luxury Valet charging tray
At 4.5 inches deep, the latest iteration of Twelve South’s leather-wrapped Valet charging tray is designed to reclaim precious nightstand real estate. This compact version follows the original’s debut at CES, trading the catchall utility of the larger model for a streamlined footprint better suited for singular everyday carry items.
Despite the reduction in size, the hardware internals receive a significant boost. The wireless charging surface now supports 25W output, a notable jump from the 15W cap seen in the previous iteration. Users can still charge a second device via the integrated USB-C port, though power delivery drops to 10W when the primary Qi2 surface is active.
Twelve South justifies the $129.99 price tag through its commitment to materials, opting for a weighted zinc alloy base encased in Nappa leather available in black, brown, or taupe. The design includes a removable metal frame, allowing for modular color customization. While this remains a premium option compared to standard Qi2 chargers, the refined dimensions offer a practical solution for those balancing high-end aesthetics with limited surface space.
