    You should make a version 2.0 for this!
    1: Add remote control for the winch.
    2: Add a pivot hinge above the magnet so you can adjust the view angle! (you probably need to add a weight to the paracord piece so it acts as a counterweight if you want to pivit the phone)

    I was totally with you until the magnet because I cannot get my case off & on that’s why I don’t use the chargers like that.

    This is a neat little invention. But there is a missed opportunity here. If your going to use a magnetic charger, why not set it up to charge the phone while your watching something on it. I mean how frustrating is it to be in the middle of your favorite Unnecessary video and have your battery low warning come on?
    Also, here's an idea for an invention. Something that will lock a wall wart into a receptacle (If it's for a house plug it could be integrated into a wall socket cover plate). And something that will lock a USB plug into a wall wart.
    I'm forever trying to plug in my phone in only to have to go back to where the cable is plugged in and having to reset the plugs.
