Review: Native Union Eclipse provides USB-A and USB-C charging with stylish cable storage
I bought 2 of these things when they were on kickstarter.
1) My items were delivered clearly damaged but they refused to give me any discount
2) I live in Europe and they sent them with a wrong plug that doesn't work in my country - they changed the specification after I already paid - again, no discount
3) the items itself:
- they are way too bulky. In the pictures they get away with that but in real life they take way too much space on my night table
- the cables don't retract, so your messy cables stay where you leave them
- it's not easy to wind the cables back in - definitely not something you want to do every time you disconnect your device
- the open close mechanism with touch operation - it rather gets in a way, don't care too much about the light
- the top is nice - but the rest is just plastic - especially inside it doesn't scream quality or good manufacturing
- mine came with USB-C - maybe it's my MacBook Pro's fault but somehow causes it to slow down
I end up using one of them, the other one sits in my cellar. Wouldn't buy again.
