I feel like maybe it was an imitation cheap charger. It worked in a pinch when I needed it, but unless those items mentioned above are corrected, I wont purchase again. So pleased with the stand. Can use for zoom chats or recording. They will be perfect for my upcoming beach vacation. The sizing on them is pretty spot on. In an ASICS gym shoe I am consistently a 9. I havent experienced the gasket shifting or coming loose like others have mentioned; its been perfect for me. Overall it is sturdy and saves space, just needs to be a bit more room to allow fatter tires to fit. I’d rather not have cables laying around and having to fumble with little micro USB plugs all the time.
